So I wrote and revised a story that I had published on my old Wattpad account. I'm debating on if I should republish it. I only have twenty-three chapters done. I'm going to post four chapters. For a sneak peak so let me know if you like it so far and if I should put the rest of the story up
She ran from fists. She ran from fear. Now she's running from murder.
Savannah Hayes thought escaping her abusive ex was the hardest thing she'd ever do-until she witnessed him kill one of his own men. With her nine-year-old daughter Everlyn and a duffel bag full of secrets, Savannah flees across the country, landing in a quiet Montana town where the Carter family offers her refuge.
It's peaceful. Safe. Until Wyatt Carter returns.
A rodeo heartthrob with a reckless streak, Wyatt isn't looking for roots-until he meets Savannah, the guarded woman with haunted eyes, and her daughter, who sees the good in everyone. What begins as curiosity turns into protectiveness. Then something more.
But Jason isn't done. He's hunting Savannah, and he's not alone.
As danger closes in, Savannah must decide: keep running or stand her ground and fight for the life she's building. With Wyatt by her side, she'll learn to shoot, to trust, and maybe even to love again.
In the wilds of Montana, survival isn't just about escaping the past-it's about rewriting the future

My Life, My Alpha.......My Love
"Zachary." I snickered. He growled playfully as I laughed, dodging his attempt to grab me and took off running in a random direction. I ran with Zac right on my heels, until I turned a corner and ran into a hard chest. I prepared myself for a hard fall, when two muscular arms shot out, wrapping around my waist and crushing my body against theirs. "Hello, beautiful." The person said. I looked up to see a handsome boy, probably around seventeen also. His face looked oddly familiar and while trying to figure out why, I froze. His face was inching closer and closer to mine. I could feel his breath wash over my face as his lips was parted, only inches away from my face, eyes closing slightly, when suddenly a fierce growl shot out through the silence, that had my body tingling. In a flash I was out of the mysterious boy's hold and my hand instantly reached out to steady myself. I looked up to see Zac, pinning the boy by his throat, on a nearby wall. "Keep your filthy hands to yourself, she's MINE!!!!"He growled possessively. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My name is Jessica Matthews, i'm 17 and i'm a werewolf..not only that but the alpha's daughter.My life was perfect, i had an amazing family which consisted of my parents, my older brother Jared and I, I had a wonderful bestfriend, Stacey and, even though he wasn't my mate, a perfect boyfriend, Dylan, or at least i thought so, until one night he does something unforgivable and my mate waltzes in as my knight in shining armor.

Don't Worry Angel, I'm Here (Book 1) (Complete)
I put my head down again and started walking the rest of the way to math but stopped and almost fell when I ran into a wall. It was actually a guy and when I ran into him sparks shot through my body. He caught me before I fell, wrapping his arms around my waist. I looked up-and I mean up. He's at least 6'3. When I looked into the pair of the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen I got lost in them and couldn’t look away. My wolf kept saying, ‘Mate! We found our mate!’ in my head. He stared back for a few seconds before a huge smile lighted his face. Then he looked over my head at something and glared before pulling me to his chest. "Mine," he growled. ......

(I'm just going to warn you now that if you're planning on reading this story despite the description then be prepared for a lot of mistakes and cheesy crap. I started writing this when I had just turned 12 and the quality of it makes a pile of dog crap look like pure gold. Seriously. It WILL be rewritten eventually but until then... *nudges book toward you with nose turned up at it* Good luck.)Complete
The Wolf, The Ranch, And The Shadows
River's Howl They were taken. Stolen from the safety of their world. Locked in a place where voices spoke too calmly, where hands held too tightly, where every breath felt like a risk. But Rain and Colt escaped. Through the shadows. Through the fear. Through the relentless grip of desperation-chased by something worse than the night itself. And they weren't alone. River-silent, unshaken, watching-had followed. Had led. Had protected. Now, in the heart of the wild, every step forward is a fight for survival. Every breath is a reminder of what lurks behind them. Every second brings them closer to home-if home still exists. Because they weren't the only ones watching. Because some things refuse to let go. And because River's howl doesn't just echo into the night-it warns of what's coming next. The book start getting good at chapter 9, the first 8 are mainly background. -------------------- Author's Note This book takes place during Rain's 3rd through 5th grade years, a time when she was homeschooled on the ranch before transitioning to public school. Her education wasn't just about coursework-it was about survival, resilience, and the lessons of life itself. Rain and Colt experience trauma that no one should ever endure, yet their journey isn't defined solely by hardship. This story explores their incredible strength, the ways they cope, and how they navigate the shadows of their past while holding onto hope for the future. Through pain, they find resilience. Through loss, they find understanding. And through each challenge, they discover a part of themselves that refuses to break. I truly hope you connect with their story, and I appreciate you being part of this journey. I'm already working on the next installment, and I can't wait to share it with you. Thank you for reading.Complete

Forced To Marry A Gang Leader (COMPLETED)
MUST READ: This book has been written till chapter 42, then the chapter after is an explanation of what I was planning for the ending as I don't have time to update and feel that you guys deserve to know. I'm so sorry for any grammar mistakes as this book was written a while ago, when I was quite young and I don't know what possessed me to name my characters Shadow and London but read at your own risk hehe. Regardless, I've had many messaged about this book so I thought I'll republish it again but like I said it's not the best! "I do." What would you do when you come home after 2 years and you're told you're going to marry a gang leader? London Pierce definitely didn't take it well. Unfortunately she didn't know much about gangs, so when she slaps the most feared gang leader and her future husband. Lets just say he didn't take it well. Shadow Winters hates it when people disrespect him. He's the type who won't think twice before killing you. He's very cocky and might I add has very bad anger issues. Mix him with London, who doesn't take shit from no one, who has terrible anger problems and is not afraid to put up a fight. I don't think it's a good combination. But what will she do when she finds out the real reason for why she was forced to marry Shadow? What will she do when she realizes she's slowly falling for Shadow?Complete
