agustin defyallodds lovestory romance selene

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.All Rights Reserved

The Edge of Almost by user78245460

She gave herself a year. He refuses to let her waste it. Mila~ One year. That's all I've given myself. One year to pretend I'm fine, to laugh when I'm breaking, to love him in silence before I'm gone. Because Jonah makes me feel things I swore I'd never let myself feel again-like hope, like warmth, like the terrifying possibility of forever. And that's why I can't stay. Because if I let myself fall completely, I'll shatter both of us when the year ends. Jonah~ She thinks she can keep me at arm's length. That her sharp words and slammed doors will make me give up. But I see her. I see every crack she tries to hide, every storm she walks into alone. Mila thinks she's running out of time. But I'm not letting her go-not when she's the only thing I've ever wanted to fight for. What if the person you hated most was the only one who could save you? Mila is seventeen and tired. Tired of fighting, tired of pretending, tired of believing she'll ever be enough. She's convinced she's unlovable and wants to end it all -until Jonah crashes into her world like an unwanted storm. He's loud, reckless, impossible. She's quiet, guarded, done. But life doesn't care that they're opposites. Somehow, they keep getting thrown together-and somehow, it starts to matter. As the chaos of growing up threatens to break them and secrets from their families threaten to uproot them, Mila and Jonah might just learn that love doesn't always look like what you expect... and that sometimes, the right person is the one you never saw coming.

A Day In His Life (Completed) by MercyMouse

Michael used to be in love. But because of previous heartbreak, he's hesitant to love again. Until he met Alaya. She would tell you she is just your average girl, but Mike knows better. Yet, he can't seem to allow himself to accept what he feels, until an unexpected tragedy happens in his life. And he sees that, through this tragedy, Alaya is there and willing to help him cope. But there is still something in the back of his mind telling him he is not ready yet. So what will he do? 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.

SEX AND SINS (The Alpha's Forbidden Claim) by excel_arthur

WARNING: MATURE CONTENT. RATED 18+. 90% STEAMY Selene never expected the thick darkness her life was about to plunge into. A young, new-adult wolf raised under the strict expectations of her aging father and the proud legacy of her ancestors, she's lived by every rule-rules meant to keep her from losing to the rival dynasty threatening to claim the throne from her family, the prestigious Ravencrofts. But the one person she thought would protect her shatters her instead. Her father's cold, public humiliation cuts deeper than any enemy's blade, all because of the one flaw she can't control-her heat. It surges too often, too powerfully, even outside mating season... and now it's a curse she can't escape. Broken and burning for release, Selene seeks reckless oblivion in the city's most dangerous den of demons-a forbidden club dripping with sin and shadow. There, she collides with a sinfully irresistible stranger drawn to the wild, unrestrained heat she can't hide. One night is all it takes for him to brand himself into her body and soul-a night of decadent, breathless pleasure she'll never forget. But when the haze fades, Selene learns the devastating truth. The man who consumed her? Her older sister's Alpha husband. He's already tasted her. He wants more. And he'll stop at nothing-no law, no loyalty, no taboo-to claim her completely. Now Selene is caught in a storm of forbidden desire, torn between resisting the man who could ruin her and surrendering to the sinful pull that could destroy them both. Because the only thing more dangerous than his touch... is how much she wants it.

Unwanted Mates (Black Moon Book One) by GosiaAC

The pressure on the body because of a conflict with his decision not to mate with you and his wolf's need to mate carries a huge risk." BLACK MOON Book One completed a stand-alone story. ***** Alpha Mikkeli Blackwood is strong, but he wasn't always strong. His past was painful and full of fear until because of his first kill he gained respect. Now 27 he rules his pack with an iron fist as an Alpha of the Blackwood Pack. Even though strict and merciless Mikkeli is a fair leader who values power a little too much. With a sudden exposure to his older brother's secrets, he is forced to give shelter and protection to relatives he has never expected to have. To make matter worse one of them is 19 years old human girl who seems to be the first one in years not to show any respect for him...

Forced to trust those she was taught to never trust, Hannah has to face a completely new life in the werewolf pack ruled by forceful Alpha Blackwood. Although werewolves shouldn't have secrets from their pack, Hannah is to find out that Blackwood Pack is full of secrets and some of them are deadly... „The book had all sorts of elements of emotions like mystery, romance, guilt, etc. I loved the plot, glad it's not a regular rejection book. Love how the story is unfolding after each chapter" Review by @simrangharge, Twirling pages (The Review book) THIS IS MY FIRST BOOK AND I HOPE YOU ALL WILL HAVE AS MUCH FUN READING IT AS I HAD WRITING IT :) THERE ARE SOME HEAVY TOPICS MENTIONED (like rape and child abuse).

A blush started off in my cheeks making its way down to my neck. "Well . . . girls like me are smart," I speak up as a distraction from my traveling blush. "We don't fall for guys like you." "You're lying, Selene, and we both know it." He whispers seductively in my ear, sending chills down my spine. Yes, I'm lying. Of course I'm lying! Girls like me always fall for guys like him. ♡♡♡ Allister and Selene, are Seniors in high school. At Dred Scott high, they have a full-on week of parties.

Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.

Less Than Zero - Hwang Hyunjin by hyunjinslvrgirl

BOOK 1 ~ Remember I was your hero, I'd wear your heart like a symbol I couldn't save you from my darkest truth of all ~ "Poor little y/n, fallen deep into the 'love' " He smirked while I lay on the ground struggling to hold on to dear life. He suddenly kneeled down beside me, caressing my face. Although his words were harsh, his eyes were warm. His dark brown eyes told the opposite of his words. Was he suffering? "I truly enjoyed this mission, all thanks to you y/n" he smiled at me, the smile was far from genuine. ~ Park Y/n, the so thought hidden daughter of the most famous martial arts guru. She was brought up in a small world, not many outdoor visits. Because her father feared, a murder in a past would soon target her next. The blood for blood phrase would soon come for her. And so he hid her, for 18 years he hid her in the same house he privately trained hundreds of martial students. That was until a certain hwang had finally decided to interfere with the parks family. After all it was the mission he was more than happy to accept. To kill the last two parks, being the father and the daughter. And so he made a sudden appearance in her life, slowly earning her trust, her friendship, her love, and using all those against her in the last moment, leaving her to die alone. But, there was always someone on the hwangs side who was completely against the idea, who would go to any length to protect the innocent. A hyunjin two part short story.
