My father always told me that when I run, I should never, ever, under any circumstances look back. For a long time to me it was just a thing that we said to each other.
For him, it was a life lesson. Telling me to never look back on my past, because if I do, I could trip. But I hadn't known that at the time.
Both of our perspectives meant something to the other, but that's not really what this story is about. It's about survival. How looking back could kill you faster than you can run.
This is an apocalypse book. there will be death. you have been warned.

Till Morning
As a pretty sane person I knew that ugly incomprehensible things happened but somethings came at you so unexpectingly that you did not even know how to react. Fairytales often painted step parents as these evil beings that did such unimaginable acts which ended up affecting our everyday lives but it wasn't like that with my mother's boyfriend. At least that's what I thought until I found myself somewhere else with a father I knew nothing about, a band that wasn't really a band in my eyes and a past so heavy that going to sleep meant drowning in the horrors of a summer that was meant to be the best time of my life.Complete
Cheating and Lying Mate
He was my mate, my other half. I was happy at first but like all good things, it must come to an end. Seeing it with my own eyes wasn't the worst part of it though. The worst part was the fact that he had the courage to tell me that he loved me when in reality, he didn't. Running away from him seemed like a good idea and it seems that fate thought that too. Meeting another wolf, an Alpha at that too, who had lost his mate a few years ago and he just so happened to like me. I found a new pack, a new family but like I mentioned before, all good things must come to an end. With my mate wanting me back but my feelings for the other Alpha progressing, I'm confused and lost. This is one problem that I can't solve.Complete

The Mute Alpha
Zoe Ryker is the name and boy did I get myself into a heap of trouble. It just started as a walk in a near by wooded area. No big deal right? Weelll.... let's just say I wound up finding out I was mated with a werewolf. But not just any werewolf, mind you. I was mated to an Alpha. (Whatever that means.) See I'm human. I grew up in a foster care system and was told werewolves were a stuff of fantasy. So when I'm told that my 'mate' is a leader of not just one or two werewolves but a whole pack, I'm speechless. To top it all off he can't speak. A childhood accident left him mute. So what am I suppose to believe? How is this going to work? OH! And don't let me forget, some dark secrets of the past are starting to arise. My head is whirling with all this information. I'm going to lay down or something. Watch a movie. You go ahead and read about it. Tell me how it ends. See ya!Complete

Fated To Be
If God is not going to punish the sinner then I WILL. People sometimes say to you, "Don't bother with them, their karma will come back to them someday". That is why sometimes people break themself in order to wait for that moment. But sometimes that moment never comes and you yourself are the one rotting away in this miserable life, so why wait when you could put your hands in it? "You are wrong. Whether I am here or not, your punishment will always come to you, I just.. make it much sooner for you. As I didn't have time to wait any longer", he said with a dark gloomy eyes that had lost their lights. When Shen Wei ran away at the age of 15 years old, he never thought that he would come back again, trying to untie the knot that had been lingering in his heart for years, he came back once again trying to understand some events, but to be honest, for him, it is just an excuse, he just wants to see the lights once again, to be able to proudly says "Mom, I have made it, the sinner have already been punished and you have nothing to worry about anymore". Even if it means to drag others down to hell with him. Shen Wei, "Because since the beginning, we have not been given a choice, we have been entangled in this trap, if we don't struggle to get away, you and I will surely lose. And I.. am not the type of person who will easily let other people bully me" Notes: First time making my own character, I think it will be hard for me to clearly describe how the character would be, but I will try my best. I must say first that the timeline is around the early 20th century.. probably, it is fictional, so there must be things that are different compared to the history. Thank you for understanding and reading my work.
