Sixteen-year-old Luna wins a coveted scholarship to the prestigious St. Helena Academy, a world of marble corridors and designer uniforms where wealth speaks louder than words.
From Arrival to Adversity
In her first weeks, Luna's sharp intelligence draws wary stares and subtle scorn. Whispers turn to calculated pranks and social isolation, testing the quiet resolve she brought from home.
Cracks and Confrontation
When a humiliating incident threatens to break her spirit, Luna relies on observation and methodical reasoning instead of outbursts. She records, analyzes, and calmly exposes the truth, forcing the school to see what it prefers to ignore.
Quiet Resistance
With the worst bully suspended, Luna rebuilds her confidence, nurtures genuine friendships, and channels her brilliance into a prize-winning science project. Even after her rival's return, Luna answers every provocation with poise, turning patience and intellect into quiet influence.
The Summit
Invited to speak at the Academy's year-end banquet, Luna addresses donors and peers with grace, sharing lessons of perseverance without bitterness. Her words earn a standing ovation-and a subtle truce with her former tormentor.
Quiet Steps is a slice-of-life psychological drama about resilience in the face of class prejudice and cruelty. Through five vivid parts-The Scholarship Girl, Cracks in the Glass, The Breaking Point, Quiet Resistance, and The Summit-Luna proves that true strength isn't loud. It is steady, observant, and unyielding, carrying her from outsider to respected voice without a single act of revenge.

The Boy Who Never Existed
Growing up in a house full of anger and silence, she learned early on how to keep her head down, her voice quiet, and her feelings locked away. But starting at a new high school is like stepping onto another planet-where everyone seems to already know who they are and where they fit. Rachel is determined to disappear into the crowd, but the past isn't so easy to escape. Every hallway whisper reminds her of what she's trying to forget, and every closed door feels like the ones she's been trapped behind her whole life. As she struggles to find her footing, Rachel must decide if she'll keep hiding from her pain-or if she'll finally let someone see the girl behind the scars. But who will this someone be?Complete
Lights of Aurelith
On the continent of Elandor, everyone is divided by kingdom. Every kingdom has its own rules, its own magic, and its own people. Yet once children reach age eighteen, they are all summoned into one Academy. There, enemies are placed in neighboring dorms and old grudges are carried into the common area.

To walk the Academy's corridors is to carry the weight of every border, every scar, every whispered hatred. No one arrives without suspicion. No one leaves unchanged.

A Dress, A Glance and Him
Some silences speak louder than love confessions. Lune didn't wear dresses. Endri didn't ask questions. Until one morning changed both. Set in the quiet corridors and shadowed classrooms of a university , when Lune shows up in a black dress she wouldn't normally wear, and Endri crosses the street just to walk beside her, something shifts. What starts as casual teasing and coffee turns into something heavier-silent glances across classrooms, prose that sounds too personal, bruises that don't have stories, and a past that doesn't want to stay buried. It's about the unspoken things. The mornings that mean more than they should. The friend you never meant to fall into. And the distance you keep... just to feel safe. A soft, emotional slow-burn about friendship that might be something more-if only someone were brave enough to say it.Complete
Raven Storm
Hiatus !! ( but I promise I am coming back ; see the last two chapters ) 25.07.2026 Some storms come and go. Raven became one. Raven Storm has learned to survive in silence. At home, she hides bruises behind bandages and fear behind a blank stare. At school, she's the outcast-judged, hated, blamed for something she couldn't control. The world turned its back on her. So she did the same. Then came him. The boy who won't stop talking. The one who looks at her like she's worth seeing. The one who says he understands-but never says why. Thrown together for a class project, Raven and Adrien are forced into each other's lives. She just wants to stay invisible. He's hiding something beneath every smile. They were never meant to trust. Never meant to care. Definitely never meant to fall. But fate doesn't ask. And secrets don't stay buried forever. Because Adrien isn't who he says he is. And Raven's father isn't just a monster-he's a target. In a world of lies, violence, and betrayal, the only thing more dangerous than the truth... ...is the way they're starting to feel. Well, I am shit at writing summaries or something like that so I asked my bestie Chat gbt ; so yeah! Enjoy! BTW: I going to be completely honest I reread the first few chapters and they may be a little rough to read in terms of grammar and so on but I promise it gets better in the further chapters. I apologize beforehand.
Alpha Wolf - Mate Mine
(+18) COMPLETED ✔ {Highest Ranks & Awards: #1 in Werewolf, #3 in Alpha, #3 in Mate, #16 in Romance, 19/11/2020} ☆☆☆☆ Mirko. Just his name is enough to invoke fear. Young in age yet ancient in his fury, with burning eyes and a bloody history of ice & fangs.

Wolves born without mates, destined to lose themselves to the feral madness of their inner beasts. But then came her. ☆☆☆☆ Elena paused, her gaze sweeping over him. His nostrils flared, thick veins bulged along his neck and face, and his eyes were pitch black-voids of pure darkness. Elongated, inhuman ears twitched as sharp fangs pierced his lips.
