Introduction
In the quiet hills of a small farming town, where the sun rises over golden fields and the air is thick with the scent of earth, Alexander had spent most of his life. He grew up on the farm his parents had worked tirelessly to cultivate, the vast land stretching out before him like a living, breathing testament to their legacy. But when Alexander turned 18, that legacy was no longer just something to be proud of-it became his burden to carry.
His parents' untimely death left him with an empty house and a sprawling farm he was unsure how to manage. For years, Alexander struggled to find his place, feeling the weight of their absence pressing on his shoulders. The farm, once full of life and laughter, now stood silent and still, as if mourning its lost caretakers.
It was then, in the midst of his solitude, that Violet entered his life.
Violet was a girl from the neighboring town, someone who had always admired the farm from afar. Her passion for nature and the simple, beautiful life of farming led her to visit more often, offering help with the harvest, tending to the animals, and bringing her light into the otherwise dull corners of the farm. What began as a simple friendship soon blossomed into something deeper-something neither of them had expected.
As the seasons passed, so did their bond, built on shared dreams, hard work, and a love for the land that sustained them. Together, they breathed new life into the farm, facing its challenges and triumphs side by side. With Violet's unwavering support, Alexander slowly began to realize that the farm was no longer just his parents' legacy-it was their future, together.
This is their story-a story of love, resilience, and the undeniable power of working the land.

Tingles flying in every part of my body as his hot breath fanned my soft skin, whispering "Ready?" into my ear. I slowly nodded, his hands landed on top of mine, both of us now holding the shovels handle. His chin rested on my shoulder, his manly cologne filling my nostrils. I bit down hard on my lip as his thumb gently traced my hand before slowly pulling the shovel up into the air, his grip on my hands tightened as we brought it down, instantly breaking the soil to pieces. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Spoilt and used to getting her own way, Adriana is in for a shock when her parents decide to send her to a small town to live with her Grandparents for the summer.

Violet by PurplezBubble

Violet Cherie is a 23 year old woman. She lives with her so called family which show nothing but hatred towards her. She is like a broken doll, living with the torturous abuse her family gives and has no escape from them. But what do you think will happen when Adrian Hayes, the man who bullied Violet with her stepsister years ago returns to his home town? Only this time he is coming back with a contract. A contact of marriage that claimed Violet to marry Adrian. •-•-•-•-•-•-•-• "You have to marry to Adrian." I sat there frozen to my spot. There is no way that this was happening. Were they joking? Or was I having another nightmare? This made no sense. Tears welled up in my eyes at mom's statement. My eyes snapped to Adrian and he already was staring at me with intense eyes. I looked away from him and at my mom. I saw her slam the contract on the table. "Now sign this sweetheart." Her words dripped like rotten and tasteless honey. I spun my head towards the table and again gazed at an opened page of the contract. I read the page slowly as my eyes shifted between the words, not believing it. It was a contract, a small one that had no other information than it stated that I had to marry Adrian. It was signed by Mr and Mrs Hayes, Adrian and both of my parents. My eyes darted back to my mom and shook my head in disapproval. No way was I agreeing to this disaster. •-•-•-•-•-•-•-• -WARNINGS- • This book contains strong scenes of abuse. • Please take caution as some scenes may be too harsh for the audience to read. • All rights are owned by @PurplezBubble.
Fighter by PerfectionisSimple
12 parts Complete
My father brought out his long glinting sword and plunged it into my mothers stomach. It seemed the second time was more painful than the first. It was like the reassurance that nothing was okay. That my mother really does die, that my father really is the bastard I know him to be. There's no escaping my future anymore. Growing up is the only way out. I pushed Mrs. Havisham away from me and fought out of Damon's iron grip. I stalked towardsmy father and his evil, hysterical grin. He opened his arms as if to hug me. I raised my sword and plunged it deep into his stomach. His face turned from a grin to shock and he looked down at his stomach to find the sword I was still holding implanted in his flesh. He looked back up at me and I pulled the sword out sharply, mercilessly. His face turned into a sick grimace which made waves of horror pass through my body. He fell to the ground just in front of my mother. A single tear ran down my cheek. I looked down at my mother and father, both dead, at my hand. Both bleeding because of a stupid peice of silver. Fighting. Fighting for freedom, for her life and for her friends. Fighting is all Jessica can do anymore because if she doesn't fight, her life with slowly crumble around her. Jessica was an ordinary girl until she came to Dean House but then again I suppose irony is sweet. She found she was a witch and a powerful one at that. She finds she has to bring down her father no matter what it costs, an arm, a leg, a life, even when it's her own mothers she can never stop. Fighting is the only things he knows now and a fighter she is.
The Omega Princess by Cupcakesandcookies
55 parts Complete
My name was once Mia Elizabeth Vauthier. I was the princess of a great land where wolves, grander than any other creature shifted freely between animal and man. Where nature and its inhabitants lived together in an uninterrupted harmony. Where the supernatural was not abhorred by those arrogant beings that called themselves humans. Here the supernatural was just as part of nature as the trees and the grass, just as the Goddess had wished it to be. Since the day of my birth, I had been the envy of all the land. I would be powerful I would be great I would be blessed by the Goddess... Or so they had thought. When I was meant to shed my fragile human skin and flow smoothly in the Goddess' blessed creature of the night, I did not. It did not happen when I was sixteen, or seventeen, or eighteen. The shock had been like steaming water, trickling down the naked skin, tearing skin as it went leaving ugly marks that could never be removed. I became stained. The Princess who was an omega and not just an omega, a wolfless omega. An empty shell, a box with no contents, a heart with no blood. Just an empty vessel. I wished so desperately to fill the empty space with something worth more than the haunting echoes of what should have been but that was not my fate. Instead the once beloved princess I was cast aside, thrust into a tower with no promise of a prince to rescue me. The only dragon that guarded me was my own mind, a sharp weapon which would slowly poison me. I thought nothing could save me... Perhaps it is still too late.

The village loomed closer and closer, but instead of the usual deathly silence that hung thick in the air when Alexander and Rowan came through, the village was awash with jeering and shouting. Alexander halted and shifted uneasily in the saddle as thoughts of whether this was all meant for him or some other poor soul made his stomach churn painfully. "Mi'lord, none of this is meant for you." Rowan murmured from Alex's left hand side. "They are calling out 'Witch' Rowan, what if they mean to...." Alexander turned his head to Rowan and watched as his friends face paled. "They wouldn't..... Surely to God, they wouldn't....." Rowan asked as a shudder ripped through him and his hands clenched the reigns in a death grip. "I-" Alexander started to say but turned his head at the sound of a terrified female scream. Rowan watched as Alexander kicked his horse into motion, not missing the animalistic growl he let out as the horse raced towards the village. Rowan shot off after Alexander, all the while sending silent prayers to God asking that he protect that girl and forgive his friend. Rowan was no more than six yards behind, but it was too far - he needed to stay close to his friend, he did not know how he would react if they were burning her for her 'crimes'.
