Shepherds watch over their sheep. They protect them, making sure they are safe. 

There was a shepherd who watched over his sheep. He made sure that they remained safe and happy in the rye fields. Most importantly, he made sure that they never went too near to the edge of the cliff, where an abyss of darkness plunged deep to the point of no return. This shepherd did this everyday-from the moment he woke up until he went to sleep. He did not mind this idyllic lifestyle; in fact, he preferred it to anything else. It was safe, comforting, and an easy job.

When he notices a sheep has gone too close to the edge, he immediately goes to the rescue, only it does not seem to want to be saved. It only gets personal when his younger sister is the innocent sheep.

*This is heavily inspired by "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger.*

21 parts Complete Mature
Remi has always loved the forest, the different sounds, smells, the way she could get lost in it and never have to go home to her non-existent parents. She goes in and out of her life with her best friend everyday just waiting until they're both old enough to leave their small boring town. But one day Remi is attacked, and nearly killed, by a man in the forest. When she wakes up everything's different. She feels something inside her, a power, but she has no idea what happened to her. All she remembers is the man's strange yellow eyes. When three new boys show up at her school, one with yellow eyes, asking her question she gets nervous. And then one night while heading to go get her friend she's taken and thrown into a world she didn't know existed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Remi?" Jen says suddenly. "Hmm?" I hum back. "Do you ever wish you could just live in the forest? Away from everyone and everything?" She looks at me. "Free." We stare at each other for a long time. I see the real meaning in Jen's eyes. Her worries for going home to her overly strict parents. Her fears for the future and the unknown in general. "If we lived in the forest we wouldn't have gummy bears any more." I comment to lighten the mood. She doesn't find it funny. "I'm serious Remi! What if we did run away?" "Jen, we can't just run away. I know your parents are strict but I truly think they just want what's best for you." She says nothing. For a moment I fear she's mad at me but then she puts her head on my shoulder and I know we're okay.
Don't Let Go by TheSophiShow

Her hands tangled in his hair while his were beneath her tank top on her sides. They travelled upwards slowly, afraid she would walk away. He took the tank top, breaking the kiss for a few seconds. When it was off, Hannah didn't make a move to return the kiss. Christian wanted to lower his eyes so he could finally see what he has dreamt of for so many times but he knew Hannah was worried about something. (Hannah) "What're we doing?" (Christian) "You were the one who kissed me!" - he laughed. She rolled her eyes and sighed, rubbing her forehead. That's when Christian knew it was something serious. (Christian) "Why do you have to overthink everything?" - he sighed too. She looked at him in disbelief. (Hannah) "Maybe because I don't want to get hurt! I know you, Christian. Relationship is not a word on your dictionary!" (Christian) "Maybe because you haven't give me a chance!" (Hannah) "You're a mobster! My mom died because of a mobster! You think I want to end up like her?!" (Christian) "I've told you that I won't anything happen to you." (Hannah) "You can't-" He interrupted her by kissing her. He wanted her to shut up and stop worrying about everything and he knew that kissing her would definitely make her stop thinking. * A mature story that contains strong language and sexual content.* **I realized that this doesn't happen in many books, or none (I haven't read a book where this type of writing was used) but I want to let you know that during the story and when the characters speak, the person's name is in between brackets before the speech. Simply because it would probably get confusing if there wasn't anything that could distinguish who is talking after the speech. I hope you find it convenient during your reading.**

The Alpha and The Rogue

26 parts Complete

London was from a pack that was killed by an enemy pack. She was only seventeen when it happened. She was the only one to escape except for a small boy named Aaron. London rescues Aaron and runs from the scene of the corpses of her pack. She lives peacefully with Aaron as rogues before she stumbles into another pack's territory. Both London and Aaron are taken to the alpha of the pack. But once London and Alpha Mason meet, they realize they have found their mate. But it will be difficult to care for Aaron who is not Alpha Mason's blood. Can London be a good Luna? SNEAK PEAK "Don't you touch my pup." I snarled. "Your pup? I don't think so." The alpha chuckled. I growled and faced this alpha. Once I saw his face, I lost my breath and my words. I heard pounding footsteps behind me but I couldn't tear my eyes away. A hand wrapped around my chin and head, about to snap my neck but the alpha roared. The man who had my head stopped. "Take your hands off her. Now." He growled, making his way toward me. The man immediately removed his hands. He glared at the man as he made his way to me. "Marvelous." He whispered, stroking my cheek with his thumb.
