Celestine's life begins in Braes River, a small Jamaican village where green hills stretch as far as the eye can see, and the river flows calmly through the land. But her peaceful childhood is shattered by tragedy. When she loses her twin sister and her mother, her family is broken apart, and Celestine is sent to live with her strict aunt in Andrew's Hill.

Life with her aunt is hard. Celestine is forced to work long hours at the farmers' market, and every penny she earns goes toward her keep. But deep inside, she dreams of escape. Her journey takes her from the quiet beauty of Braes River to the loud, fast-paced streets of Kingston. She hopes to build a better life for herself and her family here, surrounded by the city's energy.

As Celestine struggles to provide for her children, the weight of her past follows her. When she faces a devastating loss, she must find the strength to keep going, even as grief and guilt threaten to overwhelm her. Through it all, Celestine learns what it means to survive, love, and fight for a brighter future.

The Braes to Blue is a heartfelt story of family, resilience, and hope. Kevaughn Thames brings to life the challenges of growing up in rural Jamaica and the courage it takes to rise above them. Celestine's journey is one of heartbreak, determination, and the unbreakable bond of family.All Rights Reserved

Order of the Alpha #2 by BlondeDecember1

Celestine Colton was a survivor, against the turmoil and abuse against the werewolf kind in a world run solely by humanised factions, she's a cuffed butterfly tied down to a name she does not know and a name she cannot fulfil until every question about her family, her choices and life is answered. Starting with Nicolai Darkling, a tormented reign of terror in a world he couldn't claim, on a throne he could not call his until a mating was made. Overthrowing both his siblings to a seat at the throne table, he held his dear mate close to his side, no matter how hard she tried to run. She was his, he was certain of it, even if deserving her was no longer on the table. If only they knew the truth of the wolf with the touch of the flame, that fire cannot kill the one who's blood is embedded with it. Only one did. A joke to Celestine, Alastair didn't cherish her, but tried to use her and Elias tried to force her hand. Her record for mates is almost diabolical. Love is not a liability. Nor is it a curse. It's a gift they should have cherished, not questioned. But is it too late. Not at Nocturne. Not at a school that needs Celestine and Athena more than most need air to breathe. It's time a new chapter was set in course, and to uncover what Celestine knows in her heart, it's to find herself first at a school with more secrets than the Bermuda Triangle. What will happen when something else comes to play? Or someone else.

In My Way by LivingMyBestLove

"Mad. Mad thoughts. Crazy, twisted, sinewy. Mad obsession. You sicken me. You're so beautiful, love. I grind you into a fine, soft powder and inhale you...and then lick you off of my fingers. You love, answer me. Your face brings me death every day...and every day I can't wait to die. Bury me now, love. Bury me now." I give full credit of my story to Regina Crosby. It is a work of fiction based on the film "Teenage Dirtbag" written and directed by Regina herself, based on true events from her life. It has inspired me in so many ways and it would be an honor to write from inside the characters' heads instead of seeing it on screen. Thank you Regina, for this amazing work of art.
