The Brightest Star by GenoveffaOneira

Matthew's death affected Cecilia in a way she didn't think was possible. After Alex, Matt's brother, died of an overdose, it was decades of friendship going up in flames. Matt's pain being too much to handle, he decided to end his life. Tomorrow is the first anniversary of his death. After a year spent in her bed trying to find an anchor to stay alive, Lia starts a 24 hour journey to try and grieve her soulmate. Letting her anger out, writing to him, reminiscing on cherished memories, Lia tries everything to move on before the time runs out. For him. "When he left, the world stopped being colourful." /!\ READ DISCLAIMER BEFORE STARTING AND COMMENTING THE STORY First of all, thank you for clicking on that story and for, maybe, deciding to read my modest shortstory on how I lost my brother and best friend. This story was NOT written in an entertaining purpose. I talk about real life events that actually happened to me. I chose to blur out and ignore things that were too personal to me, and to him, but what is written in those pages is true. Please keep in mind that nothing of this was written for readers to enjoy. It was written for me to try to finally move on, and I share it in hope that I might manage to help whoever is or was in my situation. Thank you if you choose to stay with me for a few minutes of your life. I'd love for you to meet Matt. If you want to do so as well, then I invite you to turn the page. -Gen

For years, Anchor has lend a kind ear to those desperate souls and has offered words of encouragement as he polishes glasses and serves drinks. All this changes the second Cass stumbles into the bar. Carrying with her a tremendous amount of guilt and remorse, she begs Anchor to let her stay, so he offers her a warm bed and some tender loving care for the night. The outcome is not as expected. In hell, they say that soulmates are real and dangerous. They hold the power to bring someone back from the brink of death or tear their soul in half.

Heart of Stone (Parts I & II) by Joflower

[COMPLETE] Some bonds can't be broken, even in death. -- He couldn't endure another heartbreak. "Accepting her would be a mistake," he said. "She's a human. I can't afford to have her blood on my hands." Gwen looked away, and he knew she saw the image that flashed in his mind. The slaughter. Bodies everywhere. The putrid stench of decay and metallic blood seeping through his fingers and staining the earth under his feet. The small, lifeless body in his hands whose death he couldn't prevent. And whose death he could never forget. "It won't be like that with her," she murmured to the floor. "I won't take that chance." Heavy with sorrow, her brown eyes looked up into his. "Not everyone is given a second chance. Take it." -- Soulmates only come along once in a lifetime. Or so everyone thought. She was his second chance. But her heart loved another. Fate would bring them together, and Fate would tear them apart. -- **A slow-burning, sensual love story with a splash of humor, a dash of action, and a lot of heart.** Rated PG-13 for adult content (coarse language, violence, and non-explicit sex) [There is a separate R-rated scenes book for those who want steamier scenes] CONTAINS: alpha lycan x human mates, strong female lead, second chance mates, reincarnation (tabula rasa), love-triangles, vampires, action, drama, humor, relatable characters, high stakes, passionate romances VOID OF: "insta-love," extremely possessive, aggressive, abusive alpha mates, Stockholm Syndrome *OVERALL WINNER of 2017 Flower's Awards*
