"You came into my life out of nowhere, Eliana, like a storm I never saw coming, and turned everything upside down. You stirred feelings in me I didn't even know I had. And now, just like that, you want to walk away? After everything? If that's really what you want, then fine... but before you go, I swear I'll make you fall in love with me. Maybe then, you'll realize this is where you belong... with me." After graduating from college, Eliana is ready to start a new chapter of her life. She dreams of joining her older sister abroad to help support their family, but everything changes when tragedy strikes. Her best friend, who is heavily pregnant, gets into a terrible accident on her way home. Miraculously, the baby survives, but her best friend doesn't make it. Now, Eliana is left devastated and burdened with an overwhelming responsibility. Her best friend had no other living family, so the newborn is left in her care. With no stable income, no solid plan for her future, and no experience in motherhood, Eliana is forced to make an impossible choice. The only hope she sees is to track down the baby's father, a man she deeply resents. She knows exactly where to find him. This man, as far as she knows, took advantage of her best friend during one of her lowest moments. The thought of facing him fills her with anger and disgust. But for the baby's sake, she gathers the courage to confront him. Their first meeting is tense. Eliana's heart is heavy with judgment and pain. What begins as a reluctant partnership turns into a tangled web of emotion, truth, and healing. Now Eliana must face the most difficult question of all: Can she trust the man she once hated... not just with the child, but with her own heart? P.S: This story is taglish. Hope you like it. 💙🤗

[COMPLETE] Some bonds can't be broken, even in death. -- He couldn't endure another heartbreak. "Accepting her would be a mistake," he said. "She's a human. I can't afford to have her blood on my hands." Gwen looked away, and he knew she saw the image that flashed in his mind. The slaughter. Bodies everywhere. The putrid stench of decay and metallic blood seeping through his fingers and staining the earth under his feet. The small, lifeless body in his hands whose death he couldn't prevent. And whose death he could never forget. "It won't be like that with her," she murmured to the floor. "I won't take that chance." Heavy with sorrow, her brown eyes looked up into his. "Not everyone is given a second chance. Take it." -- Soulmates only come along once in a lifetime. Or so everyone thought. She was his second chance. But her heart loved another. Fate would bring them together, and Fate would tear them apart. -- **A slow-burning, sensual love story with a splash of humor, a dash of action, and a lot of heart.** Rated PG-13 for adult content (coarse language, violence, and non-explicit sex) [There is a separate R-rated scenes book for those who want steamier scenes] CONTAINS: alpha lycan x human mates, strong female lead, second chance mates, reincarnation (tabula rasa), love-triangles, vampires, action, drama, humor, relatable characters, high stakes, passionate romances VOID OF: "insta-love," extremely possessive, aggressive, abusive alpha mates, Stockholm Syndrome *OVERALL WINNER of 2017 Flower's Awards*

They say love is patient, love is kind. But what they don't tell you is that love can also be devastating, merciless, and painfully fleeting. Francis Brooks thought he knew the meaning of love-until Xianon Pearson walked into his life. In the short time they spent together, she became his world: the warmth in his mornings, the calm in his chaos, the reason his heart dared to hope. She was his laughter on the rainiest days, the softness in a world that often felt harsh, and the spark that made every ordinary moment extraordinary. But Xianon was fragile in ways Francis could never fully protect her from. She carried secrets, illnesses, and burdens that threatened to pull them apart, no matter how tightly he held on. Every promise between them-every whispered "in a day or two"-was meant to be a lifeline, a hope that tomorrow would be brighter, that they could survive the storms life threw at them. Yet life has a cruel way of testing love. Sometimes, the people we cherish most slip through our fingers despite our best efforts, leaving only memories and a heartache that refuses to fade. And sometimes, love demands a choice: to let go, or to fight even when the odds are stacked against you. This is a story of love that burns fiercely, heartbreak that cuts painfully, and the resilience of a heart that refuses to surrender. It is about waiting when the one you love is gone, surviving when grief threatens to consume you, and finding the courage to keep living-even when tomorrow is uncertain. Because sometimes, it only takes a day... or even just a day or two... to change everything, to leave a mark that lasts forever, and to teach us that love, in all its joy and pain, is always worth the fight.
Mrs. Avery by RejectedConcepts
47 parts Complete Mature
Love is strange. It exists in many forms and is one of the key components that makes humans happy, but there isn't a lot of understanding surrounding it. At least not the kind of understanding with which the average person identifies. Agnes is one of the few people that can accept all kinds of love. Despite her dated name, she is a woman in her late 20's dealing with the death of most of her family. She's now stuck in the middle of figuring out how to raise children that she never saw in her future and deciding what love means for her, when it has to exist within layer upon layer of complication. She let go of her boyfriend after almost a decade because their love wasn't meant to exist under the strain of children, only to find herself confronted with the overpowering connection of her old high school sweetheart. The same man she ran away from because their values hardly aligned when it came to how love should be expressed long term. 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. Finding real comfort starts to feel impossible, as her most available options are her ex-boyfriend and her assistant. Completed! Rejected 6 times** "This one just isn't for us." By far the most plain rejection I have ever received and I can respect it. 1/22/2022 - 1K 9/28/2022 - 10K
