The Bright Room | 18+ by paleverse
24 parts Complete Mature
A deconstruction of dark romance set within a psychological thriller, wrapped in an erotic horror story, inside an urban fantasy setting, infused with sci-fi elements, and sprinkled with plenty of nerdiness. I can't guarantee you'll like it, but you definitely haven't read anything like it before. Fair warning - the erotic horror elements are pretty hard. ------ Samantha is ambitious, determined, and strong - a habitual overachiever. But happy? Never. She returns to her hometown and her old best friend, hoping for a weekend of respite, perhaps even a fresh start. Instead, she finds herself thrown into mortal danger, left hovering one breath from death. But survival is only the beginning. Saved by a man whose intentions are anything but clear, Samantha undergoes a procedure far worse than dying, losing herself, layer by agonizing layer. She awakens in the Bright Room reborn - a mystery, both to her captor and herself. To reclaim her life, she must confront impossible questions. Is freedom worth becoming a monster? Can she exact vengeance on the one who saved her? And does she truly want to? For you if you love: Strong, complex women who never back down; moral ambiguity; intense psychological drama; power struggles; trauma explored deeply; twisted relationships that make typical love/hate dynamics look tame. Not for you if: You're young or easily triggered - this story doesn't look away when bad things happen. Note: the cover is temporary, working on a proper one (though similar). ----------- If you are reading this story on any other platform other than Wattpad you are very likely to be at risk of a malware attack.

Cold Water by adaline_meadows

[BWWM] I was only twelve years old when the world turned cold. The day my mom died in that car accident, I felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my heart. My dad, who had always been my hero, suddenly became a stranger, filled with rage and blame. He couldn't see that I was hurting, too; he only saw me as a reminder of his loss. The accusations cut deep. He said it was my fault for being there, for not doing something to save her. For being the reason she was in the car in the first place. In the years that followed, things only got worse. The abuse started gradually-a harsh word here, a shove there-but it escalated, leaving scars that I carried long after the physical pain faded. I was drowning in my own despair, struggling to keep my head above water while my father's anger raged like a storm around me. I only had a break from his anger when I started living with Aunt Dina-my mom's older sister. Well, that was because she found me nearly dead on my bed after I took a dozen pills. I was tired of living. I had hit rock bottom. The harsh whispers that followed me around and the stares at school. I pretended not to notice, like it didn't bother me. But it did. I was alone. Then came Athalia, a ray of sunshine cutting through my darkness. With her, I felt something I hadn't felt in years-happiness. She became my light through the darkness and my lifeline. ••••••••••• ● Warnings ⚠️ ~ Mention of suicide ~ Anxiety attacks ~ Rape attempt ~ Mention of self-harm ~ Depression
