Selene dwells with her rich father, together with her brother. She lost her mother at a very young age, thus, giving her the responsibility to take care and watch over them. As the only girl, she strives hard to make her family complete even if the two boys in her life can't even talk without getting into a pool of heated discussions.
She seeks to do best at all the things she do which makes her father the proudest of her. Like her name, she is beautiful, kind, reliable, secluded, and serene.
When she met him, she reached her hands for him. Soon, she found herself slowly relying on him. She lowered her armour and gave away every bits of her.
Agustin is a troubled orphan guy who interprets life as unforgiving. He chose to be alone so no one will weep once he's gone. No one would even know he lived. He doesn't want others to feel what he felt when he was left untended.
He is scarred; he is hopeless.
When he met her, he pushed her away but to no avail. He then backed down his guard, lowered his sword and risk his safe space.
Just as when you thought it's a perfect love story, things went downhill.
She's ready to sacrifice her comfortable and reserved life just to be with him.
But he didn't want her to break apart. If it means he should drown just to save her, even if it will cause her to hate him entirely, he will let her go.
And so he did.
She came back loathing him, as he wished.
And he swore he'll win her over.

Fix You ✧ ((Harry Styles/Selena Gomez))
"Please, go out with me?" "No." "Why not?" "I'm bad for you." "I love you and I don't care if you're involved with shit. I am in love with you. I'm not giving up on you and I will try to fix you." Harry Styles is the epitome of the perfect student. He has good grades, a kind personality, and supportive friends, Niall, Louis, Liam, and Zayn. His mum is the principal of Holmes Chapel Comprehensive School so he's well-taken care of in and outside of home and always nurtured with love. He's his mum's precious baby, especially since his older sister Gemma moved out for University. His mother can't bear the sight of Harry broken or even just feeling sad so she does her best to protect him and steer him away from any source of pain. Selena Gomez is quite the opposite. Losing her parents in the fifth grade wasn't an easy ordeal for her; ever since then, she hasn't been the same happy child her parents wished her to be. She lives with her two older brothers, Tyler and Derek, their best friend Dylan, Tyler's girlfriend, Crystal, and Crystal's best friend, Holland--all sharing the mutual fact that their parents were killed by the same man. After years of a deep hunt, tensions of the past are finally resolved, but Selena isn't. During these years, she's grown cold and ignorant, often shutting herself out to everyone and relying on her only escape from the world: art. Her apperance grew darker and her actions, though are for good intentions, appear as crimes. She's been misjudged and always cast in a bad light, so no one really knows her except for her family. Everyone's advised to stay away from the dark beauty who basically spells out trouble. But what if the most sheltered boy in town is truly, madly, deeply, in love with the most dangerous girl? Love is not finding someone perfect; it's seeing someone imperfect perfectly.Concluida

After losing her father at a young age, Alaya grew up never knowing what it is to love a man other than him. She was never the type to allow a man into her heart and she has always stayed away from that temptation so that she could focus on herself and heal from the emotional wounds losing her father has left behind. Alaya never expected another man to remind her of what that unconditional love felt like, until she met Michael. And he turned her world upside down. After a short lived whirlwind romance, she finds out why she never wanted to love a man the way she loved her father, all while longing for another day in his life... Authors Note: Hey loves, please be gentle. This was my first attempt at writing a novel instead of my usual poetry. I know a lot of the content may be cringey and in desperate need of editing, however, I don't have that type of patience lol. So enjoy it for what it is...a little something from someone who knew nothing at the time.Concluida

Her wolf hummed with pleasure at the sensations while her human self felt like it was drowning in an ocean of panic. The dichotomy of her split emotions was a chaotic confusion she had never felt before. "You're going to...um," she stuttered, frazzled.

She cleared her throat to start again. "You're going to need to be a little more specific." ~~~~~~~~~~ Selene is the daughter of Corben, Alpha of Blood Fang.

Scars - Ivantiiv
Till has always been a gentle and emotionally grounded boy, trying to navigate friendship and love in an unsteady boat all by himself. At school, students called him "Creepy Till". He lived in his own world, lost in his love for art and psychology, and often forgot to exist anywhere else. He never learned how to make friends, every interaction he had was awkward, every attempt to connect clumsy and uncertain. He had a lot of fears : attention, crowds, but the biggest of all tortured him in his sleep. Till suffered from recurring nightmares since middle school. When a new student joined his class and sat beside him, Till realized that the boy whose gaze haunted his every nights truly existed, that he was more than a product of his imagination. Ivan entered his life suddenly, like a storm. He was everything Till wasn't: magnetic, confrontational, and impossible to ignore. He was unpredictable, impossible to read, his behavior was erratic, he seemed to both despise and need Till at the same time. Raised in a household where love and hate were indistinguishable, he was left with a warped sense of intimacy. The quiet rejection that Till gave him was unbearable and made him remember his lowest moments. He couldn't stand the way he looked at him and avoided him. That's why he decided that, if he was going to be hated anyway, he might as well earn it. What begins as a series of misunderstandings, lies and deliberate cruelty, soon reveals something else beneath: a desperate longing to be seen, to be loved, and to heal. This is a story about love distorted by pain, about two boys trying to bound from broken pieces. Over time, Till's quiet empathy begins to reach the wounded child buried inside Ivan. And for the first time, the raven haired boy realized that hatred isn't the same as love, and that what's truly his doesn't need to be marked in order to be real.
