Maia had always been different. As a child, she didn't like what usual young girls liked. As a teen, she never fit in. She was quiet and shy, always dressed in dark blues, greens, and browns. And she seemed to have no temper at all...
Or so that's what everyone thought. They weren't there when she was home alone, fighting against herself, her instinct, her dark side. One night, everything changed. Her world flipped inside out.
Her mother
Dead
Her father
Gone
Never again to see her home
Her school
The community she'd grown up in
The one that seemed to suck up her very existence, outcasting her, just as she wanted it to do. Just the reason her mother had chosen to live there.
But all of it was gone, just because one mistake on her part. A small mistake that snowballed into something way bigger then anything that could be fixed with a "sorry". Much bigger then that...
Maia kept her monster deep inside after that. She slowly pushed it further and further down, until it seemed like it never surfaced anymore. But when her temper flared, she could feel it churning from deep within, waiting. She promised herself she would never let it out and that she would never get close to anyone ever again.

Inside Our Head | NEW STORY
This is not just a story. It is a collection of silent battles. Inside these chapters are different minds, different struggles, and different experiences that people often fail to see or understand. Each story opens a small window into lives affected by mental health conditions, emotional pain, and the weight of being misunderstood by society. From obsessive thoughts that refuse to stop, to overwhelming anxiety, to emotions that feel too heavy to carry alone, each chapter shows how different people fight battles that are invisible to others. Some are aware of what they are going through but cannot simply "stop." Some try to function normally while their minds are in constant conflict. Some are judged, ignored, or misunderstood by the world around them. This book does not exist to label people. It exists to humanize them. Because behind every behavior that others may not understand, there is a person trying their best to survive their own mind. And maybe, in reading these stories, we learn to see them a little more clearly. Not as broken. Not as different. But as human.Complete

At that exact moment her window smashed and something flew into her room. It was a flock of them; they attracted the house and only took one thing: the girl. She remembers it clearly, the way she screamed scared out of her mind. The way it grabbed her waist and took off. She remembers screaming for help but no one came to her rescue. Oh how she wishes that she left her safety knife in her room. Then they would be safe. Her family!

The Twist of Mate
Scarlet Montgomery lived her life as the pack slave. She was left Omega after her parents ditched her to become rogues. She is constantly tormented not only by the other pack members but by the Alpha himself. When she meets her mate on her eighteenth birthday, things take an unexpected turn that seem to leave her life in a downward spiral. She becomes more and more defeated with each awful instance sent her way. Will she be able to escape or will she be eaten alive by the wolves that she was thrown to? ************ Trigger warning! There is graphic content, abuse, violence, sexual violence, strong language...etc. If you can't handle any of those things, shy away from the book! Thank you ************ Excerpt: "You know, wouldn't it be fucked up if we were mates?" My face scrunched up, not only in disgust but worry about where he was going with his question. It would be the worst thing that I could imagine. There was a chance that if we were mates that he would lighten up and become the loving mate the moon goddess would have intended but that was a very slim chance. "Do you know what I would do if we were mates?" I shook my head; I didn't just mean it as I didn't know but I didn't want to know. He would probably reject me in the worst possible way he could think of. Or he would use the bond against me. I was already his slave but maybe there was something else that he could do that my innocent mind just couldn't conjure because I wasn't anything like him. I held my humanity close to me as if it would save me in the long run. I refused to be anything like my tormentors and I kept as true to myself as I could. He turned his body towards mine and I could see he was smirking at me but I got a bad feeling. "I would fuck you as hard as I possibly could and then I would kill you. You don't deserve to be a part of this pack but we need slaves just like any other. You truly disgust me and I hope that whoever your mate is rejects you. You're a sorry excuse for a she-wolf."Complete
