When family is on the line, Alexis doesn't hesitate to get her hands dirty.
Growing up in foster care, she learned the hard way-the only person she can trust is herself... and her siblings. But when one reckless mistake puts them all in danger, she's desperate for a way out.
And that comes in the form of Desmond Woods- renowned billionaire and politician.
His problem?
With a governorship election on the horizon, everything needs to be perfect. But something is off with his son-and Desmond doesn't like unknown variables.
His deal?
Move into his estate. Keep tabs on his son. Report back.
Her payout?
Her siblings get the safety they deserve.
Simple, right?
Wrong
Nothing about the Woods family is simple.
Damon Woods is perfect-too perfect... At least when he's not being a pain in the ass.
He's the picture-perfect son, following every step in his father's carefully laid path.
What he could possibly be hiding? Alexis has no idea.
But a deal is a deal. And there's no backing out.
She should focus on Damon. Instead, she stumbles onto something bigger.
Something dangerous.
Something that has nothing to do with the Woods family-yet somehow, they're right in the middle of it.
And now? So is she.
Some secrets are meant to stay buried. And Alexis might not survive digging this one up.

In a quiet town wrapped in fog and secrets, something ancient stirs beneath the surface. When new blood enters a neighborhood already weighed down by silence, curiosity can become dangerous. Some doors are locked for a reason... and some truths are meant to stay buried. But for April, once she knocks-there's no turning back. ⟡𖤐⟡✧⟡𖤐⟡✧⟡𖤐⟡✧ April had always been curious about the new boy named Gregory, who had moved into her neighborhood. He was quiet, always alone, with a stare that seemed too heavy for someone his age. Rumors began to spread-whispers of screams in the night and strange symbols drawn in red near the woods. Due to him not showing up to school regularly and having been acting quite strange, April's curiosity turned into obsession. Her dreams became disturbed, filled with flickering shadows and haunting whispers that spoke his name. Unexplained disappearances and brutal attacks from a mysterious creature started happening. Victims were found torn apart-no trace of the attacker, only claw marks and eerie silence. And April happened to be stalked by something lurking through the shadows. She soon discovers and is surprised to see who it is. A face she trusted. Having a rare condition... one hidden for generations. To consume blood flesh. ⟡𖤐⟡✧⟡𖤐⟡✧⟡𖤐⟡✧ ⚠ Content Warning: strong language, blood/gore, graphic violence, alcohol use, attempt of suicide, SA, and frightening scenes ⚠ · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · ꕥ · ┈┈┈┈┈┈ · This story has a playlist **Listen on Spotify**Complete

Shattered
⚠️THIS STORY IS OLD. IT ISN'T VERY GOOD. THE OTHER BOOK IS BETTER⚠️ Adeline was a good kid. She worked hard, took care of herself, and didn't let anybody push her around. At least that's what the kids at school thought. But, like most people, she had secrets. Things nobody knew about her. Nobody knew her mother and stepfather hated her. Nobody knew she lived alone with her best friend. Nobody knew that, outside of school, she was a totally different person. Nobody knew what she had been through, and all the things that left her shattered. This is how she lived her life. This is the only life she had ever known. But what would happen if all of that changed? Could one school lecture, a mishap at the courthouse, and a DNA test change her life forever? For the better or for the worst, Adeline's life is about to change. And for once in her life, she might not have to keep so many secrets. ********************************* Started: 6/18/2022 Finished: 7/29/2022 © 2022 Taylor Sassone Cover by my awesome sister @owlhootsburger13Complete![His Possession✔ [BWWM+Completed] (Wattys2018)](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/102493908-256-k645000.jpg)
