Innocence is subjective, and power always has its price--so his elders told him. Silas Blane is destined for greatness. Born into an elite family with many skeletons in the closet, he learns to harness his inherent shamanic powers and finds purpose in the Old Ways of his ancestors. As he turns fifteen, Silas walks a treacherous edge between love and expectation and discovers the fragility of desire. Nothing is what it seems in a universe where power is fleeting, and enemies close their grasp around the last hope of the free worlds.

Vintage science fiction, retro-futurism, and space opera blend in this decopunk drama. Here we have chromed fusion rockets, spooky secret societies, shamanic bone oracles, robots for every occasion, and a perilous, affluent world which hails to "Downton Abbey" and "Dynasty".

Her Brother's Best Friend - Aching Hearts Series #2 by TheWritingWolf1

If asked, baby Emily Robinson would have gleefully said that, her life revolved around two cornerstones: volleyball, Riley. Volleyball was the passion that gave her life. Riley was the "special friend" that fueled said passion and offered an otherwise insecure, shy little girl the means to grow up strong, confident, badass. Professional volleyball was a dream close to becoming true. Riley was reality. The most reassuring one. If asked, Emily would have said, she could not live without those two. That's why when, in a matter of months, she loses both, Emily's life starts spiraling down. The self consciousness about her looks goes from easily containable to fullout war waging deep inside her, menacing to bring her down any minute. So when, four years later, Riley comes back, he finds that his cutely shy Honeybee has turned into a beautiful quasi woman that is inexplicably paralyzed by fears. How can he help her regain the strength she had? And what happens when he starts realizing that indeed, his Honeybee is no longer a child, she's become a dangerously attractive girl. How can he help her fight her demons, without letting his mind and heart stray? He can't fall for the same child he used to babysit ... or can he? Highest rank #14 in General Fiction (04/08/2017)

Now, he must move in with his father-whom he hasn't seen since his parent's divorce when he was 8. Moving all the way from Red, California to Lakeview, Maine, he has to start from the very beginning. But, as he starts his senior year in a brand-new school he tries to keep his transgender identity under the radar, and he's quick to learn that it's not going to be easy to get back on top. Because there's Caleb. CALEB MITCHELL, the star child of Lakeview. Honored for being so well-rounded he probably shouldn't get too close to a hill. Not only that, but he's nice. And funny. And surprisingly good-looking. To Orion, he's impossible to dislike, despite him taking the place of valedictorian. Orion was only ever good for his brains. He's never had anything else.

Untamable [BXB] by juneybugz

untamable; adjective: • (of an animal) not capable of being domesticated • not capable of being controlled. ❛ Rune reaches out, slower this time, more deliberate, and without lifting his bowed head or rising from his kneeled place, he clasps the omega's hand in both of his. "Let me court you," He says. Pleads. Begs, even. "Six months. Six months, and if you still wont be mine, then I'll give you everything you need for a life, far from me." Six months, Silas broods. The alpha still doesn't meet his eyes, determined in his display of utter duteousness, presenting himself as a courteous suitor. Six months, and he could rid himself of this persistent alpha for good. Six months and he could have the life he's always wanted, the one he thought he could only have in daydreams and fairytales. He swallows. "Fine." He says, the word falling pendulously from his lips. What could go wrong? ❜ Alphas, Betas, and Omegas- the secondary gender to every hybrid shifter on earth. They typically live in a peaceful hierarchy; they have their differences, their quarrels and their affections, but for the omegas without homes- they're sent to agencies, places made to raise perfect omegas for future mates as soon as they come of age. At least- that's what Silas Hale has been told all his life. As an omega wolf hybrid, he happens to be under such circumstance. Violent, bad-mouthed, and misunderstood, he's been thrown around all his life by cruel, corrupt people who could only dub him as 'untamable'. He refuses to accept his biology, refuses to accept alphas, and refuses to accept the blind obedience the world expects from an omega. Now eighteen, he's meant to be pawned off- sold to whoever takes an interest, and Silas intends to keep his walls up, to be the 'untamable', rogue omega everyone sees- til Rune Windsor comes into his life, and Silas finds the world of cruelty and unjust he's known all his life gets flipped on its axis.

People with powers exist, believe it or not. And it isn't some magic thing that gave us powers; it's a genetic malfunction that cursed us to a life of living as societal outcasts. You'd think that would pull us together, right? Wrong! ••• Silas has a rare genetic malfunction, that very few people have. It is rare and terrifying, as anyone who has the malfunction is given telekinetic abilities. He's never met someone else like him, but he's also rarely gone out in public to limit the chance of being called out for existing. He isn't necessarily happy with his life, but he doesn't hate it either. It's just going on and all he can do is watch time pass and hope that he never has to interact with people who hate him for existing. That is, until he discovers that someone else with the malfunction is murdering people like him, and by discover, he means damn near killed by the psychopath. In order to stay alive and off the killer's radar, Silas moves in with a doctor and an officer who helped save him, but as he spends time with them, Silas discovers a side to normal people that he's never gotten to see. A side that may break down his inner walls that have kept him safe for years... ••• cover by Ishanwadhwa123 !!!
