Do you ever wonder about the power that one choice can make? How one choice can have a ripple effect? How does one choice, one small insignificant choice, cause such a tragic event? Well I haven't had to just think about it, I've lived it. I've seen the damage that one choice can make. ___________________________________ Lillian Berg has lost everything. Everything she has ever loved has been taken away from her. All due to a choice, a small insignificant choice, that she made. Now, because of what she has done, she has to deal with losing her parents, home, and life as she knows it. The hardest part is knowing that she could've prevented this all. She could've prevented living in a foster home, she could've prevented the nightmares, she could've prevented having her sister be adopted and taken away from her, she could've prevented the harsh rumors, and she definitley could've prevented meeting Xavier Adams, her sister's new step-brother. Lillian wants to hate Xavier. She wants to hate the fact that he's taking her place as the older sibling. She wants to hate the fact that he has the life she wants. She wants to hate the fact that he's so perfect that she feels unworthy to be in his presence. But she can't hate him. She can't hate the fact that he tries to understand her situation, or the fact that he takes in his new little sister, Cora, with open arms, and she definitely can't hate the fact that around Xavier she feels almost normal again. Lillian's life has been turned around, and it keeps getting worse each day. Like a domino effect Lillian's life is spinning out of control with no sign of slowing down. However, Xavier is determined to show Lillian that maybe something good can come from an incident so horrible. And maybe that good thing could be him.

Warning: Violence, swearing, abuse, and other sensitive topics - Read at your own discretion --------------- Fate can be cruel. Especially when an age old prophecy by a group of oracles says you are fated to lose everyone you care about. On top of possibly being rejected by your mate, or killed if they find out who you are. On the upside though, that same prophecy claims that you have some amazing powers even though you don't. So that's something, at least. ---------------- Isabell McVeigh is 14 years old when she has to separate from her adoptive parents. She winds up just where she was warned to stay far away from. The blood brood pack. She is forced to stay and is made an omega. She still has an escape plan, though it's going to take time to execute.

A Glimmer of Hope (Book 2B of Wolfcreek Series)
Two years. Two years have passed since I had left the man that I loved, my second chance mate. It had been two years since I caved, since I caved in to the fear that Xavier would be like my first mate, abusing me and breaking me far beyond repair. A part of me knew that was the fear talking, but I couldn't help it. I couldn't help but listen, leaving behind the man that I was supposed to stay with for the rest of my life and leaving behind the children that I was supposed to care for. However, there was a part of me that didn't want to listen and didn't want the fear to win. That part wanted me to be with him through thick and thin, not wanting to be alone any longer broken or not. Just maybe this male was the one that would finally help me put myself back together. Maybe. All I needed to do was keep that small glimmer of hope alive. It was all that I had. _______________________________________ NOTE: IF YOU READ THIS BOOK ON ANY OTHER APP BESIDES WATTPAD THEN IT IS COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.

The Dark Side of the Moon
"Fuck, baby. You can't say things like that to me. I want to, also. Trust me." His hand snakes down my body until he enters two of his fingers into my wet center. I can only moan in response. "However," he kisses my neck possessively, finding the right spot to drive me crazy. "I need to build you up to that." He pushes his fingers in and out of me, hitting deeper and deeper as his strokes become longer and harder and faster. "You feel that? My fingers deep in your pussy that's dripping for me?" He licks the side of my neck as my breaths come out in short pants. "My dick is going to stretch you out so much more. When I finally fuck you, you're going to be sore for days. And you're going to love it." ---------- Thea Brooks, an 18-year-old college student, lives her life by a schedule.

Within the midst of learning how to raise children and balance her ever-building career, Agnes tries to recover from her mother's death, seek comfort without complicating her circumstance, and figure out why her mother would name her Agnes.
