There is a place people go when something becomes too heavy to carry.
They don't choose it.
They don't understand it.
But somehow... they find it.
They call it The Quiet.
When Umar begins to question the truth behind his friend's death, what starts as grief turns into something deeper. Something unfinished. The more he searches, the more the world around him begins to shift, pulling him into a place that feels peaceful... but never without a cost.
There, he meets a woman who has learned how to live within it. A place where memories linger, time bends, and the things you avoid have a way of finding you.
But The Quiet is not a place you stay.
It is a place that asks something of you.
As Umar digs further into a truth some people would rather keep buried, and journeys deeper into a world that reflects everything he is trying to escape, he is forced to confront a question he cannot outrun:
What does it really mean to let go?
Because in The Quiet...
you don't get lost.
You either move on...
or you remain.

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. His beast-more prehistoric predator than a mere Alpha-rules the shadows as ruthlessly as he rules his pack, the infamous Black Devils. Whispers speak of a curse. 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. Any sane person would have run for their life. But to Elena, he had never looked more beautiful. ☆☆☆☆ After this book, you'll find yourself longing for that simple, powerful word-the one we all secretly yearn to hear once in a lifetime: MATE ☆☆☆☆ Some reviews from my awesome readers: annaglowka2005: "MASTERPIECE!!!!

Phantom Love
I'm a ghost. Or at least I think I'm a ghost. No one can see me and I've been wandering the world aimlessly for years. I don't remember a time I wasn't a ghost. One day I didn't exist and the next I did. For the past 5 years though I've been following a team of supernatural investigators that are working to bring down a trafficking ring. Why? Well humans are boring for one. Secondly these men are captivating. Not only are they sexy as sin but I feel drawn to them in a way I've never felt drawn to anyone else. So for the past 5 years I've tagged along and pretended to be one of them, dreaming of what would happen if I was real. What happens when a magical assault pops me out of the veil and into the real world? Chaos. And hopefully chocolate, that stuff looks amazing. ***All of the characters are my own in this story. The world building is also entirely my own.*** *** Cover made by notsodumbolivia*** The starting storyline and the summary of this book is based off of Kristy Cunning's Four Psychos as well as Raven Kennedy's Signs of Cupidity. The overall story line and the individual characters are different but there will be similarities between the female protagonists starting points and goals.
Silver veins
In a world where werewolves rule and humans are forced to survive in forgotten districts, Ferial has learned to keep her head down and her hopes small. But when whispers spread of a powerful heir visiting the human zones, the fragile balance of her life begins to shift. What starts as curiosity soon becomes the beginning of something neither human nor wolf could have foreseen.
Luna For Hire
After being rejected by her husband and Alpha in front of half the werewolf world, Allison does the only thing left that makes sense- she walks away. Heartbroken but unbowed, she rebuilds from the ground up, turning her experience as a Luna into something new: Luna's Compass, a consultancy that fixes the messes other packs are too proud to admit they made. No attachments. No politics. No pity. But fate has a sense of humor. Her newest client, Gordon Hale, is a widowed Alpha raising three daughters and holding his pack together by sheer will. What starts as a six-month contract becomes something far more complicated- professionally, politically, and painfully personal. Between grief, politics, and the slow burn of something she swore she'd never feel again, Allison must learn that fate isn't about who you're tied to - It's about who you become when the bond breaks. Updates Tuesdays and Fridays at Noon (Pacific)
The Outcast of the Moonlight Pack
Seth's expression was unyielding, his next words delivered with ruthless precision. "I, Seth Langston, Alpha of the Moonlight Pack, reject you, Ariah Lockwood, as my mate and as Luna of this pack. As Alpha, my word is law. I don't need your acceptance to sever this bond." I can't remember the last time I smiled-or even felt happy. My nightmare began the day I couldn't shift at ten years old, unlike everyone else in the pack. Since then, it's been an endless torment. Why am I the only one broken? Why must I suffer for something beyond my control? Why am I cast aside by those I thought were my family? But it's alright. Everything will be alright. Because I will be their downfall.![Secrets Of The Singhaniyas [ᴏɴɢᴏɪɴɢ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/407577494-256-k461027.jpg)
Secrets Of The Singhaniyas [ᴏɴɢᴏɪɴɢ]
The Singhaniyas are powerful. Respected. Feared. Behind the perfectly set breakfast table and effortless sibling laughter lies a past no one speaks of. Rhyna Singhania has learned to survive with calm smiles and silent prayers. Two years after her husband's death, she lives surrounded by the chaos of three brothers who see her as their world-their bhabhi maa. What was believed to be an accident hides truths too dangerous to surface. Loyalties will be tested. Secrets will unravel. And the house that once felt safe will no longer be the same. Because some families are bound by love... and some by secrets.
The Dark Conqueror
He's the one they whisper about in every corner, hushed voices of the one everyone fears. He's the one nightmares are made of. The one parents tell their children stories of, so they'll behave. He's the dark conqueror, the dark Alpha that everyone prays never crosses his path. For if they do, they know what that means: he's there to claim another pack, and it could be theirs. The Dark Alpha has been conquering packs since he was 19. Every 3 years, he begins his journey again, with the same task of taking down another pack. And when he strikes, he doesn't hit just one pack; he takes down all the surrounding packs one by one, leaving only the low-ranked wolves alive. A small, broken Omega is found in the destruction left by his men. One he couldn't care less about. The dark Alpha has a heart as cold as steel; even those closest to him are kept at a distance. The Omega is drawn to him even though he fears him. He steals glances from under his lashes every chance he gets, even though he feels invisible in his presence. No matter how hard he tries to stop thinking of the alpha, he can't. Every time he closes his eyes, he sees him, and every time he dreams, he's in his arms. The heart is a fickle thing. It's unpredictable and has a mind of its own. No matter how hard he tries to look away. No matter how hard he tries not to think of him, and no matter how much it hurts that he's so invisible in his presence, he can't change the way his heart feels. The damn thing wants what it wants, whether his brain wants it or not.
