1st BOOK OF THE "FOREVER" SERIES. Tessa is a wishful and overly anxious medical student that hasn't been able to be herself since her best friend Nora died of cancer. So, when she is assigned to carry out a research project, she immediately knows what she will look into. However, soon, the crossovers between cancer and immortality begin to haunt her, and she finds herself turning her project into a maddening fight to make sure nobody will ever die again. On the road to immortality, she meets Luke, an apparently careless but fascinating student in her research group, who mysteriously disappears after Tessa's revolutionary project is stolen by a big pharmaceutical enterprise. Tessa finds herself lost and alone in a world where everything is changing because of her, but she can't change anything. She is forced to ask herself questions she never really wanted to find an answer to: Even if we escape death, is escaping time and forgetting still impossible? Are we ruthlessly condemned? Or does our final sentence actually save us from the disastrous consequences our wishes would have?

The Metaphorical Key Book II- Forge the Path
(If you haven't read the first book, stop here! Don't spoil yourself, the first book is also on my profile) The death of a friend can break a person, or reshape them. It could be the straw that broke the camel's back, or a motivator, a push in the right direction. Aiden isn't sure where he falls. All he knows is the guilt and the desire for vengeance. Maybe things could've been different if he hadn't made such a disastrous mistake. But then an opportunity arises for Aiden to learn more about his fallen comrade, to get to know him even beyond the grave. And like death, everything that follows could make or break the rebellion. Note: This story contains a subplot featuring a romance between two boys. It's presented as normal. If you have a problem with the lgbt+ community, then this isn't the book - or authour - for you. I'm a member of the community myself. Happy pride month! Spread love, not hate. <3Complete

A/N: Just as a reminder. I am not a cliche person. I do do cliche topics but they all have a Rissa twist. Check it out, and I hope ya'll enjoy. __________________________________________________ He is the Alpha. I am the "runt". He is night. I am day. He is popular. I am the nerd. He likes me as his best friend. I love him more than that. When I found out that he was my mate, I was ecstatic and worried. Worried why? Well because, I Sam Carter was not something that people would call "mate" material and with too much baggage that I don't let on. So, when my mate told me that he didn't know if wanted me or not because I didn't "shift", I did the only thing I could think of. I left. And, on that journey, I learned more about myself, found some great friends, made some enemies, and learned about so called grandmother that was the same as me. He could either accept me or reject me, and he didn't choose yet. I don't know. Maybe I will choose for him, and I was sure that he wasn't going to like the answer. _______________________________________ NOTE: IF YOU READ THIS BOOK ON ANY OTHER APP BESIDES WATTPAD THEN IT IS COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.
