It started like any story.
A girl. A dating app.
A simple message: "Hi."

Ashley didn't believe in love anymore.
Not after years of silence, of being ignored, of nothing real.

But then came Annika.
Bright. Soft-spoken. Thousands of miles away.
And everything changed.

They talked.
Laughed.
Shared secrets in the dark.
And just as their hearts opened-
the world began to break.

Because Ashley isn't lucky.
She never was.
Not with people. Not with timing.
And definitely not with love.

So of course, the one person who made her feel alive...
showed up right when the world began to die.

At first, it was whispers-disappearances, strange lights in the sky, a city that went silent overnight.
Then came the creatures.
Twisted. Unnatural.
Hungry.

Is it too late to say Sorry? by iambellissima_nishaz
38 parts Complete Mature
"The fuck you are leaving me." His roar cracked through the hall like lightning. Ara didn't blink. She stood there, calm as death, done to her core. No tears. No tremble. Just a weary exhale as she turned her back on him - the one thing he never thought she'd do. Before she could take a step, his hand shot out, gripping her arm like he was holding on to life itself. "Where are you going, Ara!" His command shook the pack. But she wasn't his to command. Not anymore. Ara ripped her arm free with a force that made even his wolf recoil. "Don't. Touch. Me." Her aura slammed into him, cold and merciless. "You think I'll stand here and watch you mate and breed her?" she hissed, every word a dagger. His throat bobbed. "She meant nothing." She laughed - sharp, broken, brutal. "Yeah? That's why you were fucking her in your office? Couldn't even hide the scent of your betrayal." "Ara, it was a mistake-" She stepped closer, eyes blazing. "Your mistakes come in episodes, Alpha. Season one, season two, season three. You don't make mistakes. You make choices." He swallowed hard. "I don't need her. I need you." "Lies," she spat. "Every damn sentence you breathe is a lie. I can't even look at you without feeling sick." He flinched like her words physically hit him. "That female behind you?" she pointed, not bothering to glance. "Perfect for you. Go mark her. Breed her. Hell, fuck her for all I care." Her voice cracked - but she kept going, blade steady even when bleeding. "I don't need you. Not anymore." His knees crashed to the floor. The mighty Alpha. On the ground. For her. "Ara... I'm sorry. I'm really fucking sorry." His voice broke like he finally understood what loss tasted like. She stared at him with a sad, devastating smile. "Isn't it too late for that, Mate?" One tear escaped - and she crushed it away with her thumb. Then she turned. Walked. Didn't look back. But he didn't chase her. Because he knew. He didn't just lose her. He wrecked her.

Y/N grew up in a world where money was never scarce but affection always was. A college student from an average but comfortable family, she lives alone, her parents' support measured in bank transfers rather than warmth. Surrounded by books and routines, she carries herself like someone present in body but absent in spirit, never really knowing what it feels like to be truly seen. Then one night, in a small café lit by amber lamps and the hum of chatter, she notices her. Daniela Avanzini-dark brown hair tied back, hazel eyes bright even under exhaustion, a barista with a smile that somehow reaches further than the walls of the shop. Daniela's world is the opposite of Y/N's, money tight, responsibilities endless, but love abundant, her family's unwavering support stitched into every sacrifice she makes. Neither of them speak at first, but something lingers in the air between them. A glance too long, a smile too soft, the unshakable sense of déjà vu. Like they already knew each other in another life. As their paths intertwine. Quiet orders at the counter turning into conversations, then something deeper-they begin to discover the kind of happiness and warmth they both craved but never thought they'd find. But when Daniela's future is threatened by financial struggles that could send her back to her home country, they're forced to face the hardest question of all: Can love survive distance, or are some things never meant to last?

The Seven Deadly Sins (girlxgirl) by Spencer_Lorenzi

"Sometimes the hardest thing in life is accepting that no matter what you do, you can't plan for everything to end accordantly. Sometimes, it's the mere fact of trying that causes things to unfold in the most unexpected ways. And sometimes, allowing one small change in your daily life can cause the biggest ripple effect. For me, the change in my daily routine came in form of a girl with purple eyes and black wings. Our first encounter, whether an answer to one of my many forgotten prayer, alternate my view of reality. Unbeknownst to me, Alexandra McCartney was a walking sin waiting to be forgiven, and I was the answer to her silent prayers." Fixtured with routines and habits, Skylar Charms has only even known one thing; nothing is permanent and everything is subject to change. It was a lesson she learned early on in life and because of it, she was contempt with finding familiarity in the inconsequential routines she established. For Skylar, she was okay with being simple because with simplicity comes a sense of innocence, something she couldn't find anywhere else in her new home town. What was meant to be a routine school year for Skylar toppled when she met Alexandra McCartney, who unlike her, found familiarity in the chaos of things. All it took, however, was one insignificant answer for a saint to meet a forgivable sinner. (Cover model - Candice Swanepoel) Update: Currently being edited with small detail changes and added information. All chapters until "Abnormal" have been improved upon.

welcome to this story. i don't really know what it is yet - maybe it's a love story, maybe it's a confession, maybe it's just pages full of everything i couldn't say out loud. i didn't plan on writing this. it didn't start with a perfect idea or a cup of coffee or one of those playlists that make you cry at 2am. it started with her. with the stories we used to make up at night - the kind you whisper before falling asleep, soft and half-real. it became a tradition, something small but ours. she once told me i should post them on wattpad. i laughed it off. and when everything ended, i thought... why not? so i wrote this. not to bring her back, but to remember what it felt like when words still meant us. when everything was new and fragile and maybe too much. when love didn't start in a crowded room, but in a glowing screen, where two people who were never supposed to meet somehow did - through an app, a message, a spark that became a story. i wrote it like someone trying to hold on and let go at the same time. like someone who keeps rewriting moments in their head, wondering if things could've been different. this isn't perfect. it won't have clean chapters or a happy ending tied with a bow. it's about feeling too much and saying too little. about loving someone quietly and wondering if they ever noticed. about the distance between what we feel and what we dare to say. and now you're here. reading this. which means maybe, just maybe, you've felt this too. maybe you've loved someone who was never really yours. maybe you've turned your pain into fiction just to make it hurt less. maybe you understand. so... welcome. to the story that wasn't supposed to be a story. to the chaos and the softness and the things left unsaid. so welcome to the story where Gio meets Élise through an app - and what starts as curiosity turns into something raw, magnetic, and impossible to name. where midnight messages become confessions, and distance becomes both a wall and a thread.
Where the Storm Found Us ( Daniela Avanzini x FemReader)  by Scker_4LatinasWHAH
6 parts Ongoing
The story opens with the storm. Daniela is trapped in it, soaked, trembling, and lost in panic. Her fear of rain isn't just about the car crash, though. There's another hidden truth tied to that night: someone was there when it happened. Someone she never forgot. You. Back then, you were just a kid too, standing by helplessly as the accident unfolded. You saw the wreck, saw the flashes of ambulance lights, saw Daniela being pulled away screaming for her parents. You never knew her name, but that memory has stayed buried in you for years, etched into the sound of rain. Unlike her, you grew to love it, because it made you feel close to that memory, close to the girl who survived. Now, years later, in the middle of a storm, you stumble upon her again without realizing it at first. The curly-haired girl curled into herself, shaking in the downpour, it's her. The very same girl from that night. When you approach, she doesn't recognize you. To her, you're just a stranger. But something about her face, her eyes, snaps you back to that rainy night long ago. The plot unfolds with this haunting question: what if the person you were destined to meet was someone whose pain you had already witnessed, without either of you knowing fate would pull you together again? As the story moves forward, you're torn between telling her the truth, that you were there the night her life shattered, or keeping it hidden so she doesn't see you as part of the trauma. The rain then becomes more than fear or comfort, it's the thread that's always tied you both together. ❗❗PAUSED❗❗
