WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION Everest is the most popular boy in school. He's handsome, wealthy, and captain of the football team-he has the world at his fingertips, but he's desperately unhappy. And when those feelings become too much to bear, he tries to take his own life. On the surface, Beverly's different from Everest in every possible way. She's quiet, shy, hard working, and keeps to herself on campus, focusing on her schoolwork and her part-time job, distracting herself from her less-than-perfect upbringing. When Everest returns to school after his attempt, he's in more pain than ever. Discarded by his friends, he draws little empathy and too much attention from those who surround him. But when Beverly and Everest meet unexpectedly in a dusty corner of the old library, they discover together just how rich life can be when given the freedom to just be yourself.

After her father's death, her mother moved on fast-too fast-bringing home a new man who made Ky'yoni's home feel unsafe. When she finally found the courage to speak up, no one believed her. Not her mother. Not her stepbrother. So she stayed quiet.

In a world where fate is a bond, and a bond is a chain, one young man is about to discover that his destiny is his greatest nightmare. Hale Schneider has always been an outsider in his own pack. Quiet, artistic, and introspective, he sees the world differently-and for that, he has paid a price. His entire life, he has been the favorite target of Jacob Storm, the Alpha's golden son. Charismatic, powerful, and beloved by all, Jacob's public persona is flawless. But when the crowds are gone, his "lessons" for Hale are brutal, and everyone-from Hale's own family to his closest friends-dismisses it as "boys being boys," convinced Hale is just too sensitive, too dramatic. On his eighteenth birthday, the one day every young werewolf dreams of, Hale's world shatters. In a moment of painful irony, he discovers the truth that will forever bind him to his tormentor: Jacob Storm is his fated mate. In their world, the submissive wolf is the first to sense the bond, tasked with the sacred duty of revealing themselves. But how can Hale approach the man who has made his life a living hell? Consumed by self-loathing and defiance, he makes a choice that is both unthinkable and unforgivable: he hides the truth. As weeks turn into months, Hale retreats further into himself, a ghost haunted by a secret that is slowly eating him alive. Meanwhile, Jacob begins to suffer. The unmated bond, left unclaimed, twists inside him, transforming the pack's golden boy, future alpha, into something weak, sick, and dangerously unstable. He knows his mate is near, hiding from him, and the humiliation fuels a raging fire. The entire pack is on edge, desperate to find the one responsible for their future Alpha's decline. To deny a fated bond is the ultimate cowardice, a betrayal of their most sacred law. The hunt for the mysterious, disgraceful mate begins.

I like to think some people don't realize they are being abused until someone else makes them notice; makes them realize it. This is not a happy story. This is not for you to feel sorry for me. This is for me to tell my story without expecting anyone to care. I am telling my story with no expectations, and to help my mental health. This is a memoir, and like all memoirs, it is written from my memories. Memories are fallible and unreliable, so this should be read as a story. I have done my best to tell my story honestly, nonetheless, they are still memories. This story is based on real-life events that happened to me. It is in no way based on someone else other than myself.

To the rest of the world, Lyrielle has the perfect life. As the youngest child in a complete, well-to-do family, she seemingly has no reason to be sad. She is surrounded by successful siblings, parents who provide for every physical need, and cheerful friends who fill her school days with laughter. But behind the gentle, practiced smile she wears every day, a piece of her soul is quietly fracturing in absolute isolation. Lyrielle lives in a profound, suffocating silence. At the dinner table, her voice is constantly drowned out, brushed aside by a family too consumed by their own noisy achievements to truly listen. At school, her habit of burying her feelings convinces her friends that she shares their effortless happiness. In reality, the hollow space inside Lyrielle grows larger by the day, until she becomes utterly convinced of one toxic truth: she is a flaw in their perfect world-a burden to everyone she loves. As the eclipse within her grows darker each day, Lyrielle begins to wonder if anyone will notice before the last trace of light disappears. In a world that believes she is smiling, who will hear the silence she's been screaming through all along?

Some people hide secrets. Some people hide pain. And sometimes, the difference between the two depends entirely on perception. When a dangerous disappearance case begins pointing toward a quiet fashion designer, the line between truth and assumption slowly starts disappearing. Nothing feels completely right. Not the evidence. Not the silence. Not the people. And definitely not the emotions growing in places they shouldn't. Because perception changes everything. The same actions can look like fear to one person... and guilt to another. The same care can feel like love... or control. The same person can become a victim, a suspect, or something much worse depending on who is looking at them. And sometimes, people become so trapped inside their own perception that they stop searching for the truth beyond it. This story was never written to tell you what to believe. It was written to make you feel how dangerous belief itself can become when understanding disappears. Some will see love. Some will see hate. Some will see fear. Some will see guilt. And maybe none of them are completely wrong. Because by the end of it- the most dangerous thing may not be the truth. But the way you choose to see it.

Will she be able to live the life she's always wanted? Will Kai be able to see her for her? TRIGGER WARNINGS: self harm, eating disorders, death, su!cide, drugs, underage alcohol consumption.
