After talking to my brother all the bad memories started to rush back through my mind again leaving tears treating to spill down my face while I'm riding my horse up to the mountains at breakneck speed.  I remember a time when I couldn't close my eyes without the picture of what I have done racing to my mind. Anger towards him made the monster within me rise to the fore leaving my hands dirty. Forever stained with the red substance that is warm then gets too cold too quickly as the life drains away with it.  This is why I can't think about this if I want to heal. I feel like salt has been poured on my fresh wound. I remember how my sweet Emily had told me to be strong and to live happily. 
I need to see the beauty that she saw 
Feel the caresses of the wind 
The music that the birds make
The wonder of the trees and land
I needed to understand all of this in her little world that I never had the chance to know.All Rights Reserved

The Mate Killer by MissHstories

My body shook with fear, I hugged my knees to my chest, hidden in the small closet in my childhood bedroom at the pack house. My fingers were scabbed and bloody from my constant nibbling and picking at the skin. A stress induced behaviour. ''𝘿𝙚𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙚...'' A voice snarled my nickname, prolonging each syllable just to torment me. I covered my mouth in an attempt to muffle my sporadic breaths. ''𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙪𝙩, 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚.... 𝙄'𝙢 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙚𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙚.'' It snickered, its amusement evident. I sobbed, it knew where I was. It was playing with me. Like a cat with a mouse. Only this was no cat. This was a lycan. A merciless, demonic, alpha lycanthrope. Blurb: Desdemona Price thought when she finally found her mate she would be happy. But she was wrong, he was an evil man, who had no care for her or the mate bond. It soon became clear to her that only one of them would survive. She did what she had to do. Leaving behind her pac and everything she'd known. But then her whole life changed when she was given a second mate, a chance to prove herself from the moon goddess. But can she trust him with the truth? Or is he just like her first mate? ⚠️Mature (18+ Readers Advised)🔞⚠️

Echoes of Shadows by KatherineLvd

Beneath the Shadows - Part 3 Some people say that marriage changes everything-that it tames a man, softens a woman, turns fire into quiet embers. But they didn't know us. Caleb and I had been through too much to let anything turn to ash. If anything, marriage made us stronger, sharper, more dangerous. We weren't just lovers. We were a team. A force of nature. Together, we rebuilt Caleb's empire piece by piece until it became something no one could touch. More powerful than ever. Untouchable. Unshakable. At least, that's what I thought. It had been nearly a year since Caleb slid that emerald ring onto my finger, a promise that felt like a declaration of war against the rest of the world. And even now, with everything we'd achieved, I still carried shadows inside me. The trauma of the past-the betrayal, the pain, Ben-had left scars I couldn't erase. But I'd learned to use them. To let those shadows make me stronger instead of weaker. If there was one thing Caleb taught me, it was how to survive in a world built on blood and lies. And I was thriving. The woman I used to be-the one who doubted herself, who let others decide her worth-was gone. In her place stood someone new. Someone who could stand next to Caleb and not just survive, but rule. But life has a funny way of testing you just when you think you've won. I didn't know it yet, but the peace we'd fought so hard to build was about to crack. And this time, the betrayal wouldn't come from the outside. This time, it was hiding in plain sight.

Sanely Yours by Ashra45786543

-- PROLOGUE "Let me get this straight. We have nothing in between us, except for the deal we made that day" he spoke in a monotonous tone. "I am the one carrying your name behind me; we are married. how can you say we have nothing in between us? Huh" She yelled at him, tears blurred her vision, and she spoke her heart to him. "For god's sake, this marriage was to save you! Can't you get that? I did not do it willingly, I do not love you!!" He yelled back at her, shattering her heart into pieces. "Why can't you just love me?" She spoke, as she cried the tears of hurt, and pain. Her heart thumped loudly due to the shivering sensation She felt all over her body. "I never made a commitment to you, or gave you any false hope, neither did i say that i love you. Did i?" He asked her, in a very cold tone. She looked at him through her teary eyes. It's getting difficult for her to even breathe. "It was your eyes, the damn eyes. Who gave me the false hope. They say, "Eyes speak the truth," but what about mine? Couldn't you feel the sincerity within them, expressing my deep affection for you? Why didn't you see the love shining in them? Was it too complex to understand? Couldn't you notice the warmth as they gazed at you? They search for you in every corner, If only you realized how they silently echoed the emotions I couldn't articulate. They say, "Eyes never deceive." But what about yours? They played a trick on me when they met mine, painting a facade of a world that wasn't real. They made me feel loved, Leading me into a belief that crumbled, louder than your spoken promises. Why did they betray me? Was it your eyes or you that masked the truth?" He stayed still, not moving or saying anything at her statement. --

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

My Possessive Vampire Boss✔️ {1} by bjorghalla

My life was simple and easy. A bit lonely but I liked it. It wasn't until I literally crashed into the one who would change my life forever. My world got turned upside down and everything changed. And he was in the middle of it all. I realized that the girl I was doesn't exist anymore. Although my life doesn't make any sense now, I know one thing. I wasn't living until I met him. __________________ "YOU ARE MINE AND MINE ALONE!!!" He yells at me as his grips tightens around my wrist. I wince from the pain but he doesn't notice it. "He better keep his hands off you or there will be consequences, this dagger is the only thing that can kill him for good" He whispers in my ear and laughs cruelly. "What are you going to do?" I ask. My voice nearly cracks. "I'm going to kill him" He says laughing and takes up a dagger. "No, please, no" I whisper. The tears roll down my face. He throws me down to the floor, then walks out with the dagger. He slams the door shut, leaving me here all alone crying on the floor in pain. {A stunning cover made by @bitchmafia} {HIGHEST RANK #18 in vampire} {HIGHEST RANK #14 in kindness} {HIGHEST RANK #1 in secretary}

The Corruption Within Us by Seth189

WARNING: this book includes blood, manipulation, cursing, and mature topics (not smut please don't think that). Feel free to click off if any of these make you uncomfortable. ~•~ Something about it was so mysterious about this cave, and I wanted to know more. I entered the cave and saw a red crystal sealed in ice. "Woah." I whispered. The crystal glowed and the ice shattered. I jumped back and fell to the ground, watching as the ice broke completely. My eyes widened and I looked at my hands. "Did I do that?" I asked, but before I could answer, I heard a guard shout for backup as they had heard the ice shattering. I quickly jumped up and stashed the crystal in my pocket before leaving. I crept to the cave the following day, putting the crystal back into the remains of the ice pillar. As I walked away, the crystal fell, causing it to break into a million pieces. I jumped at the sudden noise and stumbled backwards, my eyes widening as a black smog formed around the crystal. "No, no, no, no! Frick." I desperately tried to grab the remains of the crystal, causing one to cut my hand. "Ow! Shit." I whispered, looking at my bleeding hand. "Tch, tch, tch, poor child." A demonic voice said. I looked up and saw that the black smog had two red eyes and a wide, sick smile that was dripping with venom. "I- who are you?" I asked, backing up. "The one who can help you out of here." It said, stretching out a hand. I looked it up and down and before I could answer, its hand plunged into my heart, causing me to scream out in pain.

Ophelia by Grace63662

"I'd jump after you into the pit of fire if I had to, Ophelia. Don't question that, and don't you ever ask me not to." ________________ Lilia thought she knew loneliness. She thought she understood grief. Haunted by a painful past, she kept running-from city to city, never looking back. All she wanted was a place where no one knew her. Then Dominic Brooks walked into her life. Chaotic, intense, and impossible to ignore, he and his makeshift family threatened to shatter every wall she'd built. But what unsettles her most isn't Dominic's presence-it's the way he looks at her, like he already knows her. The way he calls her Ophelia, as if it means something. And the way, despite everything, he feels like home. _______________ "Ophelia." "Ophelia, please." Isn't it funny? How this nickname works so perfectly. The world pushed Ophelia to the edge of her sanity, throwing her into the inevitability of a tragic ending. Here I am, facing the same fate. But no writer will engrave my name in history. No painting will be named after me. I'm just another insignificant part of the big book of life. Just another iteration of Ophelia.

The Revelation by dstry0515

In the beginning, there was death. The darkness flows from hues of purple and orange, the moon rising to kiss the sun's rays one last time as the darkest cloud of night I've ever seen falls over our tiny haven. I catch Will's face from the side of my vision and my heart tightens slightly. The tick of his jaw wouldn't be noticeable for anyone but me. His best friend, his lifeline. A solemn tear forms in my eye as he wipes his face, another tear falling for the family he lost. I love him. Utterly and desperately so, but, there's nothing I can do about that. The ultimate forbidden fruit, if you will. I reach to comfort him and he doesn't respond. I open my mouth to speak and he looks my way, but the gleam in his dark brown eyes hits the moonlight just right and I fall. My voice escapes my throat and I can't do it. I've tried for years to tell him. 10 years, actually. All this time, I hopelessly remained devoted to a ghost who had given the best of himself to a fiery red-head with a sassy personality and the body of a supermodel. For 10 years, I held to the desperate thought that maybe, just maybe, he'd be someone I could count on. Instead, I watched him marry my best friend, smiled as they welcomed their son. Stood, holding that beautiful boy as his mother was in the first round of executions after the beginning of the Revelation. Helped heal Will's wounds in the aftermath. Cried, clutching the tear-stained shirt of my best friend as his son took his last staggering breath in that first harsh winter. The guilt of my emotions crawl through me. My heart twisting in regret, guilt, desperation, and grief. I loved my best friend. She was so much more than that; she was my family. In this dystopian quick read, join a group of people desperate to recapture their freedom and end a tyrant's reign.
