Advika, a 15-year-old living in Pune, is known for cheerful, kind and happy-go-lucky personality by her friends, relatives and people around her. People say that she light's up every room she is in, but no one sees how dull she becomes behind the closed doors of her house. In that house, in that life, she is out of place-quietly enduring the small cruelties of being the child who is not seen for her value, a child they broke themself and blamed for who she has become. She hides her vulnerability from the world because no one there knows what to do with it. Somewhere across cities, in Bengaluru, a family as old, feared and respected - the Devrais have spent the last fifteen years mourning a daughter they were told had died before she ever lived. They spoke of her in softened voices, laid flowers for a memory, and loved her only through grief. Then one day the truth surfaces-her name, her face, her existence-and the quiet world Advika has survived in begins to shift. Because when the lie breaks, it doesn't just expose a truth - it gives two parents back their daughter and seven boys the sister they never knew to look for.

All he remembers is waking up in a small plain grey room. He doesn't know who he is. What's his name? How old is he? Why can't he remember anything of who he is? Then as his thoughts were beginning to run wild the door opened to revile two figures one small and the other one large. They address him as Experiment Six-two-six and that's all they address him as nothing more and nothing less Or is it? Join him on his journey to see what he has in store. ..... Okay yeah wow I suck at descriptions hahah but I promise you all that's it's a good book! It's a werewolf and BxB So if you guys don't like any of that please continue on your way.

Astrid Delacroix's entire life has always been arranged and dictated by her brothers. Whatever they say, she follows. She tries her best to be the good, sweet, and obedient sister they always expected her to be. Why? Aside from the fact that they've raised and took care of Astrid since their parents' died, it's also out of guilt because of what she did four years ago that put their eldest brother in a comatose. Now, Astrid is twenty-one and still lives her life the way her brothers expects her to, controlling every aspects of her life to the point she no longer knows who she really is and what she really wants. But as long as her brothers are pleased and happy with her, Astrid no longer cared. That is until she meets a enigmatic man named Atreus Evans. Everything began to change for Astrid as she slowly gets to know Atreus. Sweet and gentle Astrid managed to charm the brooding man who hides secrets of his own. And as Astrid and Atreus got even more closer, for the first time in her life, Astrid wanted to put herself and her happiness first, no longer caring about her strict, overprotective brothers. What do you think will happen? /not your typical brothers and sister trope/

You live in the same world but your fates are different, you are happy, you are sad, you suffer, sometimes alone, sometimes together but not all the time you have to be complacent because you don't know that it's not for the best that is written in the prophecy

© 2026 Seo-i. AI-assisted work, edited and published by the author. The story of love that stayed , grew and became home.. True love is not found in grand moments, but in choosing the same person-quietly, patiently, and wholeheartedly-every single day. This story : Love grows with time, understanding, and effort, not haste. The strongest relationships are built on respect, emotional safety, and consistency, not just passion. Real love stays during misunderstandings, struggles, exhaustion, and change. Marriage, parenthood, and life's responsibilities do not weaken love - they deepen it when both partners choose each other first. A good partner is not one who loves loudly, but one who shows up daily, protects emotionally, and never makes love feel unsafe. At its heart, the story reminds us that: The greatest romance is a love that becomes home. Rohan and Dincy's journey shows that when love is rooted in patience and respect, it doesn't fade - it evolves, becoming stronger, calmer, and more beautiful with every phase of life. And that is why, even after everything... he still chooses her. she still chooses him. Always. 🤍🧡 It's a bit long but it's worth hopefully!!

Being like air hurts-you're only important when they need you, but invisible when they don't. It's hard finding someone who actually listens and understands you, sa araw-araw na walang handang makinig sa'yo. Pero ako? From the moment I met Caleb Nathaniel Hayes, my world shifted-like I finally found a shoulder strong enough to hold the weight of my silent cries. Siya ang umintindi sa salitang walang nakakaintindi, siya ang mata sa mga matang walang nakikita at siya ang lumaban para ipakita sakin na kaya ko..na puwede pa. I thought I had finally found happiness, that it would last-but I was mistaken. I was just...misunderstood. Sa daming problema ang hinarap ko. kaya ko ba harapin na siyang naging bunga ng pag hihirap ko? Kaya ko ba siyang bitawan kung ang kamay ko mismo ang humihigpit para hindi siya pakawalan? Kaya ko bang lumaban sa taong tingin ko ay....kalaban? Paano? At...Sana. In a world I had already given up on, I believed no one would come for me, no one would be there to catch my tears-but I was mistaken. He was there, ready to listen once more.

This is a fictional story based on my family's and my personal experiences of moving to the United States from Mexico where I learned the hard truths of family, culture and life.

Ten years ago, they were neighbors. Ten years ago, they were everything. And then, ten years ago, Luke disappeared without a word, leaving Maeve to pick up the pieces of a life he was no longer part of. Now, a random weekend staycation has thrown them back into the same orbit. They aren't kids anymore, but the history between them hasn't aged a day. Neither of them knows how to navigate the feelings that are starting to resurface-feelings that go much deeper than a childhood crush. They are both in total denial about how much they still matter to each other, playing a dangerous game of who can act more indifferent while the air between them screams otherwise. In a world of missed signals and ten years of secrets, they are one heartbeat away from losing each other for the second time. How do you bridge a gap that's been ten years in the making? Author's Note Note: This story contains explicit language and mature themes. This story has been sitting in my drafts since 2023, and I'm finally reworking the plot and filling in the gaps to give these characters the depth they deserve. Heavily inspired by music and the "what ifs" of life, this is my first long-form story, and I'm so excited to finally share it with you. This serves as an alternative/extended ending to the short story 'You Weren't Mine To Lose' from the Whispers In The Wind collection. Thank you for joining me on this journey!
