"Have you ever thought something bad? For how long? Have you ever thought something bad for only a second, sixty-one times? Have you ever needed to keep track?"
Violet Wright is a wunderkind who doesn't always wonder kindly. At eighteen, she stands tall among the youngest -- and the most popular -- multi-millionaires in the world, having written a series of best-selling, award-winning post-apocalyptic novels, as well as their film adaptations. However, despite all of her achievements, she remains humbly pessimistic about her future, claiming that she'd "rather be surprised by a success than a failure." Even with such a mindset, all seems to be going her way . . . until, one day, by some magic, her worst thoughts are realized. Time remains fixed, but the world begins bending at her mind's will. Whether awake or asleep, thinking about something for more than a minute brings it into being. Only reasonable solutions are able to reverse the damage -- only if they're thought within a day of the prior realization, for more than a minute on their own. After a few days of cataloguing her thoughts (or attempting to), telling no one but her mother and trusted attorney, she meets a strange doctor who believes that she could help. Without a moment's consideration, she embarks on a journey to change the way that she thinks, vowing that she'll think the worst of herself if nothing changes after a week. Will it?

Mated To My Brother ✔
3rd and 1st Person Point Of View (POV) Book - Semi-Cliché - NOT incest ------------------------------ The hunt. It came every year like clockwork. A time of year were wolves from different packs come together in teams or solo to show their strength. Some survive, some die. It's up to them if they want a rank higher than an Omega. Scarlet. An orphan adopted into an Alpha's home. Treated like family but never felt like family has trained for years for her eighteenth birthday to arrive so that she can prove her worth and make a name for herself. Not anyone else. But when your curiosity gets the best of you on finding your real parents, will you take it? When you have a chance to finally meet the people who gave you away, will you meet them? It's a choice Scarlet has to make to find out the truth behind her past. So which is it, the hunt or finding her parents? *Mature Themes Warning: This book has been rewritten! It contains Mature Themes and (some) violence, if you are sensitive to that kind of action please find another book. There will be no warnings. THIS IS CLICHÉ! It follows a story line similar to 99.9% of Wattpads werewolf books! I wrote this when I was young and hopped on the trend of cliché werewolf books. This isn't the best nor do I think it is. This is not an incest related book. Both main characters are in no way related. *Not Proofread, will be mistakesComplete
