Hi, I'm Damon. . and I'm the omega of my pack. So I get bullied, especially by the alpha's son, Derick.

We'll have sex and then I'll wake up the next day in the cold dark basement instead of in my mates arms?!?...WHAT?!?!

The Bros by 06_C_A_N_24

Rejected Flame Wolf by MemE050222

Hunter Anther was like an open book, he'd never been afraid to be his true self. Especially his sexuality. However not everything is for everyone. Being born to the one of the largest pack to ever exist, he wasn't accepted. Everyone hated him and often bullied him, even his family. He'd hoped that after meeting his mate, regardless of gender he would finally find peace and happiness. But the moon goddess truly wasn't fond of him because in addition to being an outcast, he wasn't blessed with a wolf. What happens when his future Alpha, aka biggest bully and former friend turns out to be his mate. Will he accept and care for him or make him lose the last bit of hope he had? Like a saying goes 'The grass isn't always green on the other side.' *** "I didn't mean it.. I.. I was young and ignorant..." he tried to explain while clenching my hand, I looked at him in disgust and pulled my hand away. "What about me? How old wad I to deserve all the things you did to me?! Tell me, how was I different from you? Four years ago you rejected me after everything you've done to me. It wasn't enough punishment for you, you didn't even spare me a glance after ruining me. You left me, you are not gay." My voice trembled bit at the end but my face remained as emotionless as ever. I will never give him the satisfaction of seeing me vulnerable, not again. But why does my heart feel like it's bleeding? Shouldn't I be hating him and happy that he's on his knees begging me. So why am I tearing along with him? **** 25/02/24 - 9/08/24 **** A/N How many of us believe in second chances? Does love really conquer it all? This is not a 'love is blind' story, if you're looking for one.

Inspire: Book One (bxb) ✔️ by PsychoSunbaenim

Book One of Five in the New Beginnings Series. **You do NOT have to read Inhale, Exhale, & Breathe to enjoy these stories** #1 in bxb tag: 09/21/2024 #4 in friendstolovers tag: 9/21/2024 CYRUS PIERCE: I'm content in my almost soundless world. I prefer to live through the romance stories I weave and post online. Hardly anyone reads my books, even if they're free, but I do have one fan, and he's supported me since I started writing two years ago. Except, my writing started to take a depressing dive when I realized that you simply couldn't prevent nor protect your heart from falling for someone. For him. For the one who had no interest in me. When I fell in love with him, I thought we had a chance. It was an accident. Turned out, I couldn't be more wrong. He doesn't want me, and I wasn't supposed to have him. It didn't matter if he showed up in the bookstore every day, talking to everyone else except me. Nor did it matter at all because he didn't know sign language. He couldn't learn. We couldn't communicate. But after I go on a date and it ends in putrid disaster, he makes his appearance known, and he's angry. Then he's doing things for me that confuse me. My stories are filling up with pages of content, dreams that I want to come true, and my mystery commenter encourages me to continue-to reach my happiness. To take what I want. But the activities planned start sparking familiarity-like I lived it before, or maybe dreamed it. Or maybe, just maybe, I'd written it before? My mind is spiraling, but I can't stop myself from getting closer and closer to him. I'm not supposed to have him, but my heart craves him. Sage Monroe, I'm in love with you, and I'm scared now because I have a feeling that you've been communicating with me in more ways than one.

For Crying Out Loud by vannie1357

Best friends are hard to come by, and it's even harder not to fall for them. Jake and I are pushing six years in our friendship, and my love for him is undeniable now. It's ironic because he was in love with me, or claimed to be, but I didn't feel the same. And, of course, we did date. For like two months, but that ended and he move on to a girl who should have been my friend. I'm still in love with him though, even though it took me forever to uncloud my mind to realize it. It's much to late to fight for it now. It's gone, and so is who he used to be. I remember when those eyes landed on me that night. I can still see the moon reflecting in those enchanting orbs of hers. I remember how her smile seemed to be brighter than the fire. I also remember how I barely said a word to her the whole night. Kayden sat with her instead, and they laughed and flirted. They ended up dating for three months before she ended it, but that night. The night before she dated my cousin, before she planned for Boston, before I met Amy, and before everything fucked up. That night I swore one day I'd call her mine, and I would never, not ever, let her slip away. Now that, my dearest friends, is real irony.

I will see you again by LilyRaphael6

In the story, two teenagers from different backgrounds fall in love but are forced to stay away from each other. However, things take a different turn when Cirrea and Derek finally find each other, only for Derek to get shot and Cirrea to be exiled by killing herself. As they wake up with different bodies, they remember what happened but not their time spent together. When they thought they had gone back in time, they were just dreaming. They were still in their own time, but they didn't know that until they helped their friends. When they got back to their own times, she knew she still had her powers, but Derek didn't. They stayed with each other, then got married and lived happily ever after. That's what they think.

The Doctor's Assistant by AtlasPyro

Have you ever felt so unimaginably lonely? Ever wanted to end your life because things have gotten so unbelievably horrible? Parents misunderstanding you? Pressure too much amongst your daily stresses? Do not fret, just walk to the back alley behind Maple View Memorial Hospital. Walk down the creaking metal steps, knock a few times on the wooden door and the doctor will handle the rest. These were some of the things Elliot heard being whispered at the weekly depression seminars. They were dying for a way out, a way out of life. A way that didn't involve hanging in the kitchen before the movers showed up. With mom and dad dead from a car crash a few weeks prior, and zero friends to acknowledge their absence, Elliot decides to visit the doctor. But is it more than what they bargained for?

My Best Friend's What? (MBFB spinoff) [completed] by Yellow1017

After all the warnings, you would think this wouldn't happen. All the rumors all ready going around the school. We wanted to prove them all wrong, but things happen. I sit on the tile floor not wanting to look and see. He has no clue, and I don't think I could tell him. I don't even think I would be able to face my parents. I look up through my leaking eyes and see it on the counter. I can't bring myself to stand and look at it. This wasn't supposed to happen to me, to us. We were so careful about it all, and now I'm here crying, and praying. Even though I know what is happening. There is only one thought running through my head, my best friend's what?

What Lies Beneath by HoneyBoo_TooFamous

It seems like we all hit rock bottom at some point in our lives. It feels like no one is there to help us out. "I will never be the same," are the thoughts. "I will never love again," are the actions. The best part about hitting rock bottom is the saying that is heard all the time, "The only way to go is up." This is the story of a boy who lost it all but started with nothing, going through life learning more about friendship, feeling loved for the first time, and finding a true home even if it means leaving everything behind.

Frustration by Bewitched_Soldier

Alright I won't lie, this was inspired by my own frustration. I chose to focus it on a big dumb cowboy, instead of someone else that is big and dumb. (for legal reasons those nicknames are a joke). Does an innocent event like the adult prom turn into something more? Do two individuals seen as either enemies or just friends turn into something more? How long can one or both individuals last against their own sexual frustrations? Do you think you know who will cave first? Does anyone cave at all?
