"Promises were meant to be broken..."

"... I choose you. Always."

~~~

Amanda Lucienne, the heir of House Norton, has caught herself peering into what people call "The Forbidden Fruit" - well, the fruit is romance.

Only eighteen years of age, and yet facing the magnitude of strongly bound tradition. She must find a suitable partner to marry. But what if she fell for a rogue instead?

And not just any rogue, but a being from another side.

Will she deal with the consequences of this romance? Or will she let tradition realign the course of her life back into one acceptable by many?

Almost ten years have passed since then, but the young woman is still working at her mom's misfortunate ("cursed" as it is secretly called by all family members) coffeeshop that Ava's dad left after the divorce. Usually the "Fathers and Sons" kind of relationship is not simple, especially when we are talking about the Allards: it's not easy for young redhead Ms. Ava to forgive her father or find mutual understanding with mom who believes her daughter should be more prosperous and financially independent at her age. Harvard graduate Bonita Suárez, aka world famous influencer BoB💋tch, is having the time of her life: elaborate cocktail parties, fabulous fashion shows, photo shooting, luxurious balls, elite clubs, global traveling, and aesthetic vlogging, the list could be endless. She's never alone surrounded by her devoted squad, fans, and rich family members. Next month fashionista Bo is launching her own cosmetics line and is about to release her autobiography "Every Shade of Me". She must be very happy, right? However, not everything is so cloudless in her life. What will happen if two different worlds collide?

At First Sight by LilWitch726
24 parts Ongoing Mature
Not your average rejection story. Usually the boy does something stupid - and keeps being stupid - the girl forgives and forgets and gets pulled in by the mate bond. Ignoring all his transgressions because 'the bond said so'. Not this time, sometimes fate gets it wrong and sometimes you grow out of things; like love. Vivian Clark is a mostly normal girl, as normal as you can be when you're more than eccentric mother is the head of a coven of witches. Something that; according to her, is a long standing tradition and more people need their apothecary than Viv realizes. While Vivian practices magic and identifies as a witch, it's more of a religion than a lifestyle in her eyes. She doesn't know there are very real powers laying dormant in her bloodline, and very real creatures that not only lurk in the night but often lurk on her doorstep. Trevor Erikson; a hot shot jock, a playboy, and Mr. Popularity, he could have any girl he wants and often does. Going from one to another and enjoying every minute of it. Despite the fact that he's a werewolf and an alpha's son, he could care less about fated mates or finding a luna for his pack. Which he'll eventually take over at the end of the school year. He doesn't take it too well when his fated mate shows up unannounced, and he does what any asshole would do. He rejects her at first sight. How will the two manage with a rejection floating between them for the remainder of the school year? ************************************** A fast-paced romance with mature scenes, all based in a fantasy world. If that's your vibe this is your story to read. This is my second work and I had to get it out of my brain cause it's all I could think of while writing a completely different book, there will be slow updates.
Instead of him by taglineo7
7 parts Ongoing
Leena Nur was wrapping up her senior year at Leading Senior High this summer and with that, her domestic duties were also coming to their end. High school was nothing to miss for Leena. Instead, it was the bridge between childhood and adulthood. For the entirety of her life, she had been stuck there, forbidden to cross. Leena was neither young and never close to being old enough for anything. She considered it the curse of being the youngest and only daughter of a traditional East African family. As the sole daughter of her doting parents, Leena was their pride, their joy and also...their live-in maid. She was the youngest sibling of four brothers and as if being surrounded by them every living moment was not enough, her relentless neighbor, and brother's best friend made sure to loiter around to make her life worse. It was fine, she told herself, since she was determined to move out soon because of it. She knew she was close to the freedom she had been stealing tiny licks of since forever. She was graduating and that meant something so, so important. College. New Friends. And most irrevocably exciting, boys. If her father had heard that, let alone her brothers, Leena would have been locked deep inside her closet-sized room. However, she was determined they never would because by that time, she'd already be far away in America with her potential soul-mate, sipping hot cocoa and wrapped in lovely scarves she knitted. All she desired now, was to get through the rest of her high school career quieter than a mouse and receive that acceptance letter from UCLA. She could do it. Right? If she could just evade that annoying neighbor of hers.

The darkness flows from hues of purple and orange, the moon rising to kiss the sun's rays one last time as the darkest cloud of night I've ever seen falls over our tiny haven. I catch Will's face from the side of my vision and my heart tightens slightly. The tick of his jaw wouldn't be noticeable for anyone but me. His best friend, his lifeline. A solemn tear forms in my eye as he wipes his face, another tear falling for the family he lost. I love him. Utterly and desperately so, but, there's nothing I can do about that. The ultimate forbidden fruit, if you will. I reach to comfort him and he doesn't respond.
