(This story has been discontinued and will be rewritten as "Curiosity Called the Cat." Please check it out!)

In an overcrowded future, crime and war has become overwhelming. The government plans to bomb almost all of the population on Earth and start with a new, perfect genetic race. Hundreds of years later, the next generation of humans are completely flawless, including appearance and behavior. A healthy and perfect race of humans has evolved out of the ashes.

 But Kat sees thing differently from the others, but she's not sure why exactly. There's a flaw in her code, and as she begins to rebel against the government, she finds that they aren't the only ones on Earth. Curiosity takes over as she sneaks beyond the walls, finding a not-so-perfect race in the process.

Humanity wanting to finally bring it all to an end only finds one way to solve it. End humanity as we know it. Governments across the globe found that humanity wasn't what it was before and had become dark and terrible to live in, so to fix that they made a small utopia pulling in families, scientists, and important government officials to create the perfect pair of humans.

If you know of any way I can get this published or how to make it better please tell me. Hope you love it!

Imagine this. You close your eyes for merely a second and when you open them, it's the year 2040. Everything is different. The very world as you know it today is contrary to your current reality. There's are no regular chocolate bars like sneakers or mars, there's no such thing as iPhone or Tesla, attending government school is absolutely compulsory in some parts of the world, there's no freedom to move around or travel through different countries or even different states within your own country. There are two major alliances of countries; The Union and the Confederates which are in a constant struggle for power after a war in 2035 that divided the world. In the midst of all of this, life seems to be going perfectly well for seventeen year old Saylor Cohen in the new world she has found herself in. She lives somewhat of a double life. Her father is a spy majorly known for his role as a government official and they live a life of luxury and wealth. She seems to be adjusting to the new rules imposed by the government including attending compulsory government school while trying to live under intense secrecy to protect her father's secrets. Her struggles to attain any form of normalcy in her life soon ebbs away when her life is turned upside down as she is expected to entertain a guest she despises. She finds herself in relationships she knows her father would never approve of and worst of all, she starts receiving mysterious letters from an unknown source. She follows the promptings and instructions of these strange letters as they promise to lead her to some important information about a ground breaking truth that's been hidden from her. The only problem is, the letters she guards and hopes will answer all her burning questions ends up being the very thing that endangers her the most.

Okay, y'all... I wrote this when I was 13 (over 5 years ago as of 2024) and this was honestly my polyam awakening. This was supposed to only be a bxb, and turned into a bxbxbxbxb (with like 20 kids). I would love to say that my writing has improved (and it has, substantially), but that cannot be seen on my profile currently. If you love cringy werewolf books, this is for you! Now... on to the description! Kyle is a gay omega. His dad abuses him because his mom died during his birth. His only salvation is finding a mate on his 16th birthday, in 6 days. His older brother (Kade) is the soon to be beta of his pack, and actually stands up for him. His brother's best friend, Jordan, is he soon to be alpha. Jordan has been given everything he wants in life, and is about to be given the alpha title. His father, the alpha of the Red Moon Pack, abuses his little mate constantly, as well as his mate's dad. Nobody knows that he has a mate, and nobody will know.... Until his mate's 16th birthday. Or will he tell someone? Will someone figure it out? What will happen when Kyle finds his mate? Will Jordan be rejected? Will Kyle finally be happy? Will Kyle and Jordan's past come back to haunt them or make them happy? And who are the mysterious Royal Twins that only want their mates? Will they do anything to get them? Started: 07-15-19 Finished: 08-22-20 🥰

Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!
