Unspoken Words by dinosaur57

Alyssa Bronx is just like any other teen trying to survive junior year. She spends most of her days keeping her head low, waiting for graduation to finally come. With a distant family, the grief of losing her dad, and the scars left behind from a cheating ex, she believes there's nothing good life has to offer. Aside from her two best friends, the girls who pulled her out of the loneliness she's lived in for so long. To Alyssa, they feel like the only people she has left. One late morning, she lands herself in detention, where she finds herself next to her brother's best friend. The boy who doesn't even remember her, and the one who won't stop staring at her. He's nothing but cocky, smug, and way too good at making her uncomfortable. But detention leads to conversations, and conversations lead to things she never saw coming. ****** This book has been mostly rewritten. If you previously started reading, I would suggest going back so it makes sense. **Contains swearing. Touches on topics such as eating disorders, sexual themes, and abuse.** Not edited.

Nicholas "Duke" Ducheski is the most important man in the eastern Ohio steel town of Mingo Junction. Nearly two decades after he made the winning shot in the state championship basketball game, he remains much adored and the focal point of community pride. Hardly a day passes when someone doesn't want to talk about "the game." Now approaching forty, Duke no longer wants to be defined solely by something he did when he was eighteen. So he decides to parlay his local popularity into a successful restaurant--"Duke's Place." But no sooner does he get his restaurant up and running than disaster strikes. One day, "Little Tony" DeMarco, his brother-in-law and a known mob enforcer, comes into the restaurant and murders Duke's oldest friend. Now Duke faces the hardest decision of his life. DeMarco thinks he's untouchable, but Duke discovers a way to take him down, along with his mob superiors. To do so, however, means leaving Mingo Junction and sacrificing his treasured identity as the town legend. And if he follows through, what will remain of his life?

But the people around them urge them to keep their love locked away from the public to "protect" themselves. Fast forward 6 years later and things take a turn for the worst. This is the first issue that they have encountered that is completely unavoidable. They think its end, but it is only the beginning. Where will this unexpected journey take them? (This story takes place in 2016 after Harry cuts his hair(HALLE-FUCKIN-LUJAH I TIMED THIS PERFECTLY), along with Zayn and Liam. Niall has grown out his hair so it is now brown. Yes Zayn is in the story, frequently at that lmao. Basically the boys come back from Hiatus early due to certain circumstances in the story. I PLAN for it to only be about 15-20 chapters.) *Contains adult subject matter and violence.

The Dark Side of the Moon by thealexiarose

"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. She has school, homework, her job at the Coffee shop where she drinks way too much caffeine to be healthy, and the rest of the time she is watching her little sister while her mother is at work. She thinks that everything will remain the same as she starts her college classes, but that all changes when a new friend of hers introduces her to an attractive guy that she can't seem to get out of her head. Grayson Dark, a 22-year-old Alpha of his pack, has been searching for his mate since he turned 16. All hope is lost until one of his pack mates strolls into his home with the most magnificent scent- his mate's scent. After only slightly maiming his pack mate, it is revealed that his mate is close by- and human. Without understanding the supernatural world existing around her, Thea will have to learn to look past Grayson's faults- mainly his possessiveness and anger issues- while staying out of danger from unknown threats and learning her place at Grayson's side. Oh... and keeping her grades up. How hard can that be?
