He was supposed to be a bad decision.
That's all.
Not the man I didn't even have to call when my life fell apart, he just showed up. Not the person who understood me without explanation. And definitely not the one person capable of making me want things I swore I'd never need. But Graham Mercer has always been off limits.
He's my uncle's best friend.
Ten years older than me.
Gruff, emotionally unavailable, and entirely too good at looking at me like I'm something to survive instead of something to keep.
Somewhere between site walks, late night phone calls, and blurred lines, things stopped feeling casual.
Now we're sneaking around work events, crossing boundaries we swore we wouldn't, and pretending neither of us is getting in too deep. Which would be fine... if falling for him didn't feel so much like falling apart.

Her Twin Mates (Book 2 of Wolfsong) [Preview]
For a decade, Melody suffered pain and humiliation at the hands of her stepbrothers. That stopped the night she looked into Zane's eyes and he discovered they were mates. But the consequences of years of abuse don't disappear in a day, nor do the scars. Because of the twins' actions, Melody's heart is weak and could give out at any moment. How can the twins claim their mate when the act would kill her? After a few stumbles, the twins' earnest desire to win her heart gave Melody the strength to trust them. Or at least try. But the first chance they had to screw up, they embraced with open arms. Which left Melody doubting their intentions, until they appeared in her room, bloody and bruised. That gave her the opportunity to patch them up, and they felt guilty upon witnessing how much their mate cared. Her heart of gold inspires the twins love and fills them with shame. Those who bask in her love warn them to be patient, and to never stop trying. Other than one, her beloved uncle, Aeydan. A vampire who suffered abuse as well and refuses to forgive the twins, albeit he tolerates them for his niece. However, that chance the twins had to screw up? Yeah, he's not willing to forgive them either and promises to torment them every chance he gets. To make matters worse, the hellhound's presence exposes Melody to an ancient evil intent on using her to escape punishment for their sins. Can the twins protect their mate, or will an ancient war claim another innocent victim?Complete![ANGELMAKER - The Southside Slayer [a halloween special]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/289755765-256-k538755.jpg)

Heer~THE UNWANTED DAUGHTER
✧༺ 𝐑𝐔𝐓𝐕𝐈𝐊 𝐱 𝐇𝐄𝐄𝐑 ༻✧ Some stories begin with love. This one begins with finding a family. When Heer's world shatters overnight, she is thrown into a life she never imagined-a life filled with strangers who are suddenly her family, brothers she never knew existed, and a home that doesn't quite feel like hers. Lost, heartbroken, and carrying the weight of her mother's absence, Heer struggles to find her place among the powerful Raichands. But while she fears being unwanted, the truth is far different. Because somewhere between Rakshit's silent care, Rihaan's endless teasing, Kanishk's chaos, Priyansh's unwavering support, Arhaan's warmth, and Shaurya's fierce protection, Heer slowly discovers what it means to belong. And then there is Rutvik. The boy who falls first, The boy who waits. The boy who looks at her as if she is every beautiful thing the world forgot to name. What begins as friendship blossoms into a love story filled with stolen glances, soft confessions, inside jokes, forehead kisses, and a boy who never lets her doubt her worth. But life isn't only made of happy moments. Secrets surface. Hearts break. Fears return. Relationships are tested. And Heer must learn that family isn't always the one you're born into-sometimes it's the people who choose you every single day. Filled with sibling chaos, unconditional love, emotional healing, unforgettable friendships, heart-fluttering romance, and a heroine who finds her voice amidst the noise, Heer is a story about grief, belonging, and the kind of love that turns strangers into home.
