Survivor Stories

8 years old Aarya was raised in silence, in fear, and in chains. She never knew a life beyond bruises and rules - where food was a privilege, smiles were sins, and love was just a myth. For eight years, she lived under the iron hand of her mother and her cruel boyfriend, taught to be invisible and obedient or be punished. She didn't know family, joy, or even her own worth. Until one day, everything changed. When her abusers were arrested in a drug bust, Aarya thought she was finally free. But freedom was a lie. Because this time she is captured by a monster even more dangerous, a ghost from the underworld, long thought dead. Where she learns a truth more unbelievable than fiction: she is not alone. She is the daughter of Satyaveer Malhotra - one of the most feared mafia dons in the country - and sister to three ruthless crime lords. Thrown from hell into a den of lions, Aarya finds herself in a world she cannot understand - a world of power, guns, secrets, and brothers who speak in bullets and silence. Cold, broken, and dangerous - they don't know how to love. And neither does she. But blood remembers. And somewhere beneath the scars, loyalty, and violence... a family begins to rise..........

At fifteen... she was light. Niharika Rathore was the kind of girl who made rooms softer just by entering them. A sunshine soul wrapped in innocence. She laughed too easily, trusted too quickly, and loved her mother more than anything in the world. Her eyes-almond-shaped, deep, observant-held warmth. Her smile could melt silence. Chubby cheeks like cotton candy... a face everyone remembered. But some stories don't stay soft. Because in one night... everything changed. The man her mother trusted... the man who was supposed to become her stepfather... became the reason her world cracked open. Nothing loud. Nothing spoken. Just a line crossed that should have never been crossed. And after that night... Niharika was never the same. --- At seventeen... she is still alive. But the sunshine is gone. Her smile doesn't reach her eyes anymore. Her gaze avoids people, like the world itself became unsafe. Quiet. Careful. Guarded. She no longer trusts light. She only trusts shadows. Then fate turns again. Her mother slips into a coma. And suddenly... there is no place left for her. A maternal grandfather she barely knows sends her away-far from everything she called home. But before she can leave... another truth arrives like a storm. A father she never truly knew. A name whispered in fear. A mafia king. And he wants her back. Not as a guest. Not as a choice. As his daughter. --- But Niharika has already learned one thing the hard way: Men break things. Even the ones who are supposed to protect you. Now she is taken into a world she never imagined- A house filled with power... silence... and eight brothers who see her as an outsider. No women. No softness. No familiarity. Only rules. Distance. Watchful eyes. And a girl who is terrified of men... being forced to live surrounded by them.

Lia Bennett, a survivor of the 'Sane and Satire' case, has finally decided to open up about her life experiences. Phil Matthew, a journalist and writer, interviews her to write her biography. As time passed he wrote things she never revealed

This is a story about love, trust, attachment, and the quiet ways a person can slowly lose pieces of themselves while trying to hold on to someone else. Ananya's story is not about a perfect relationship, and it is not about perfect people. It is about choices, forgiveness, doubt, hope, and the moments when love can make us question what we already know. Some parts of this story may feel uncomfortable. Some may feel painfully familiar. If you see yourself in Ananya, remember that understanding someone does not mean you have to excuse everything they do. Loving someone does not mean losing yourself. And this is only the beginning of her story. There is still much more for Ananya to discover-not only about the person she loves, but about the person she is becoming.

What happens when the person you still love becomes someone your body remembers being afraid of? I Said I Wasn't Leaving lives in the space between love and anger, forgiveness and fear, staying and still being hurt. It is about taking accountability for your own mistakes without carrying the blame for someone else's choices. About saying "I still love you" while another part of you is screaming "look what you did to me." Because sometimes, staying doesn't mean the pain disappeared. Sometimes forgiveness doesn't feel like peace. And sometimes the hardest person to understand after being hurt isn't the person who hurt you- it's the version of yourself that still loves them.

Surviving the end of the world was only the beginning. Shara and the others have spent years learning how to stay alive in a world overrun by the infected. They learned to sleep lightly, trust carefully, ration everything, and never assume that safety would last. Now, something is changing. The infected are weakening. Some are collapsing without explanation, and the force still connected to Shara seems to recognize a pattern it has yet to reveal. For the first time in years, the possibility exists that humanity's greatest threat may not last forever. But surviving a dying world and learning how to live in what comes after are two very different things. Back at the sanctuary, Shara, Randy, Marcus, Darius, and Lena begin doing something none of them expected to have the luxury of doing again: planning for a future. Gardens expand. Water systems are rebuilt. Permanent rooms replace temporary sleeping spaces. Slowly, a refuge created to keep the world out begins making room for other people. Then signs of another survivor appear beyond the boundary. As strangers become neighbors and survival gives way to community, Shara and the others must decide what parts of the old world are worth rebuilding-and what kind of world they want to create in its place. Because humanity doesn't just need to survive anymore. It needs to remember how to live. Calming the Wild is the second and final book in The Wild Duology, a post-apocalyptic story about survival, healing, found family, rebuilding, and the quiet courage it takes to hope again.

~Book 4 Layla's journey continues on! Genevieve had been taken down, in a firey display of Layla's power at the High Cross of Kilbride, Ireland.

In typical Layla fashion, she sacrifices her own needs and wants to help the ones she loves. The impulsive decision causes her to reunite with Officer Chad Cooper. Layla quickly regrets her choice to leave Ryder. In this book, a whole new set of dilemmas arise, as Layla fights to find her way home. Ryder and Aiden frantically try to find her, with the help of the whole coven. This is a work of fiction. The concept for the book was inspired by the idea of half-blood vampires, as well as Greek mythology. All positive feedback and conversations would be great!
