And every time, her heart betrayed her; racing, stumbling, fluttering like a caged butterfly chasing a memory. Her breath shortened, her chest tightened, and still, she said nothing. Because it wasn't her place. Because she was never meant to be seen. Until she was. Until the day she stood before him, not as a stranger in the crowd, but as his bride. The wrong bride. He had seen her before. Once in passing, her eyes barely a flicker in his peripheral vision, dismissed for a prettier pair. The second time, he saw her through a vow sealed in blood and duty. And rage erupted. Exacting. Demanding. She wasn't supposed to wear that dress. She wasn't supposed to carry his name. But now that she does... There's no turning back.

The Vessel by __ashlynn_byers__

Disclaimer: This story contains mature themes and gory scenes. Read with caution. "There's something wrong with Ravenfield." At first glance, it looks like just another forgotten village-quiet, poor, sad. But once you step in, the silence starts to feel too heavy. The smiles of the villagers are too perfect. The air doesn't move like it should. Jade Dawson didn't mean to end up there. He just lost his way... but in Ravenfield, getting lost is never an accident. What he finds is a place rotting with secrets-old, horrific, and buried beneath ash and silence. The village has its own rules. It watches. It chooses. And once you're part of it, there's no going back. The Vessel is not just a story about a haunted village. It's about what happens when you're dragged into something ancient and evil-something that doesn't just want your fear... it wants you. Welcome to Ravenfield. Don't look too long. Don't listen too closely. And whatever you do... don't trust the silence.

Gilded Amnesia by Marvywrites

She woke up with no memory. He says he's her husband. But in a world of luxury and lies, can she trust the man she's falling for? The last thing she remembers is the screech of tires and a blinding light. When she opens her eyes, she's in a penthouse more luxurious than any dream, wearing a silk nightgown she'd never afford, and a devastatingly handsome stranger is calling her Amelia. He claims he's Liam Croft, her billionaire husband, and that a terrible accident stole her memories. Thrust into a life of glamour and secrets, she must play the part of a wife she can't remember. But nothing adds up. The way the staff watches her with wary eyes. The locked doors. The flashes of a past that feels like someone else's nightmare. Liam is magnetic, protective, and looks at her with a longing that feels real. But as fragments of the truth begin to surface, she uncovers a dangerous web of corporate espionage and hidden enemies. The greatest threat of all might be the man sleeping beside her-the man she's dangerously close to loving all over again. Who can she trust in a world where everyone knows her... except herself?

Perception and Deception by andreahintz1

Felix Jaynes is a special agent for the Real Life Immersion Program (also known as RLIP). A few months ago, she had a traumatic experience that caused her to go from a confident agent who was a phenomenal expert in her field, to suddenly doubting her career. She has recently been sent to an extremely rural town called Toselville. Her mission: find the middle aged son of two weapons designers who created blueprints for the United States government. As time goes on, she befriends Ashton Mathis, the owner of the only grocery shop in town, and his best friend/employee. RLIP agents have partners who talk to them through their small earpieces that cannot be seen. These agents are not allowed to see their partners or even know their names. Felix has had many partners who are generally cold and over-professional. But Felix has been assigned to Wolf, an older gentleman who becomes a sort of wise father figure to her. After going with Ashton and his friends to the town bowling alley, Felix finds that she is starting to get into a clique of her own. Ashton is there to hopefully win Felix's heart, and Felix is there strictly on business, hoping to get information for her case...or so she keeps telling herself. Against Wolf's initial words of wisdom, Felix finds herself thinking about Ashton and accepts his invitation to go out on a date. But Felix accidentally blows her cover, and soon, Ashton is attacked. Felix was able to save him once, but now her enemies will stop at nothing to get to them. Felix is reassigned to a new mission...witness protection for Ashton and herself. Their budding romantic relationship comes to a sharp halt as they now have to focus on working together to survive. They can run, but they know their enemies are never far behind. Their only option to save themselves is to solve this case. And it is not going to be easy.

Whispers of stillness by Enidan682

She has lived her whole life paralyzed by fear-literally. Tonic immobility traps her body whenever terror strikes, leaving her vulnerable in the moments she needs her strength most. But nothing could prepare her for the night she opens her eyes to find a stranger in her bedroom-a shadow from the darkness, a man who has always lived by danger and never by emotion. Yet something in her silence, in the way she trembles but doesn't run, awakens something unfamiliar in him. Love. Curiosity. Possession. What begins as a nightmare soon becomes a dangerous dance between hunter and prey, where fear feels like passion and danger tastes like desire. She's fighting her own body while he's fighting the one thing he never believed in: his heart. In the end, can love bloom between a man who was never meant to feel, and a girl who was never meant to survive him? This story is a work of fiction. All rights reserved.

Secrets Of The Past by SnowyWraith

*Book One Of The Federation Series* Silvia Eastman was only five when her parents were murdered in front of her by a pack of infamous rogues. The emotional stress of the trauma caused her to shift into her wolf and she tore one of the rogues apart. But shifting at such a young age can be mentally, as well as physically dangerous. Premature shifting can cause a wolf to become feral, and unable to distinguish friend from foe. Most end up either a rogue or killed for safety purposes. Because of this, she had to undergo a bonding ceremony to keep her wolf in a dormant state until the day she finally meets her mate. Unfortunately, the bonding ceremony can have odd side effects at times. Though there didn't seem to be any side effects, there was one small problem. The trauma of seeing her parents die seems to have caused her to not only forget what happened on that particular day but also forget what she is. To make matters worse she had been unknowingly dating a werewolf, a rogue no less, who seeks to take her as his mate to take control of her pack. Sam has no intention of letting her get away. But there's one thing he wasn't counting on. Silvia's mate, Mathew Weston, had found her on the day her parents died and has every intention to claim her. But what happens when the most notorious, and deadliest rogue pack around the world, the Red River Rogues, becomes involved? Just what is their interest in Silvia that they follow her relentlessly? Will she be able to continue eluding them, or will she finally fall into their grasp? Read on to find out. **************************** **Editing Slowly** !!!WARNING!!!

Traitor Trickster by Astral_Astraea

Human rights are reserved for humans, right? Maybe wearing one's skin isn't enough to merge into the mortal world. Many of us, variants if you prefer to regard us nicely, otherwise monsters, are born with otherworldly specialties. And those born without it considered us curses to the land while we saw it as superpowers. They call us monsters yet they're the ones hunting us. Till it was me they're hunting down, they locked me in a facility with horrific scientists. The other variants are my allies, the facility, our enemy. The leader of the facility is just another one of us, but he's standing on the opposite side, battling against us. Everyone can lie, but no one can deceive a psychic. Standing before him, you can't hide anything. Your thoughts, your schemes, the psychic hears it all. I, like every other variant locked in this place, dreamed of escaping. Continuous outrageous breakouts just to get recaptured? I need a disparate way, a more intriguing method to sneak myself out of here. Kaysen Hayes, leader of the facility, his job is to keep us all contained. Anyone who dares to escape will come to face him, and he never fails to trick us, put us into defeat. A few variants earned their alliance with the facility, like tamed animals, they'll come to help whenever there's a breakout. When I saw one of those variants, traitorous ideas sprung to my mind. But I need not wait long till the offer comes to me in person. How long until he runs out of tricks? How long does loyalty last? Tricks don't last forever, and so does loyalty.
