    A genetically unique but emotionally lost teenager must figure out who she is within her mixed-up, warring world of Shifters and Wolfstalkers. ***** It wasn't Maddie's choice to be born a half-breed, half Shifter, half Wolfstalker -- a hunter of Shifters -- and it wasn't her choice to keep her identity a secret. But after trying to attend high school like any normal sixteen-year-old, things quickly spiral south when her Stalker uncle finds out about her and catapults her out of anonymity and into the awareness--or possibly the crosshairs--of The Order of the Wolfstalker. Maddie must think fast and figure out a way to keep herself and her family safe, or risk losing everything. Including her life. [[word count: 70,000-80,000 words]]

    "Some ghosts don't haunt to scare you. They haunt to remind you what you lost." Thandi's innocence echoed in every memory she shared with her sister. She's accepted the truth - her sister is gone, and nothing can change that. But everything shatters the moment she sees her again. Alive. Smiling. Real. Now caught between the sister she loves and the man she's come to care for, Thandi must make an impossible choice - one that will teach her that even innocence comes with a price. In a world of power, secrets, and ruthless ambition, every choice has consequences. Loyalties will be tested, hearts will be broken, and betrayal lurks in the most unexpected places. Survival is only the beginning; when nothing is as it seems, even the purest hearts cast the darkest shadows.

    Blake Callahan ruined me without even trying. Now I'm going to ruin him too-one threat, one kiss, one perfectly timed prank at a time. He has everything-money, looks, and a last name that opens doors. The golden boy of Seattle: captain of the soccer team, top of the class, with a future already written in Ivy League gold. Me? I'm Ryder Quinn. Dyed hair, piercings, fists bruised from too many fights, and a life with no safety net. Reckless. Broke. No future. Just chaos. We come from opposite worlds-his built on privilege, mine on survival. We're supposed to hate each other. And for a while, we do. But hate turns into tension. Tension turns into something neither of us can control. Because loving him was never part of the plan. Destroying him was.

    Life is like a rollercoaster, it has its ups and downs, but it's your choice whether to scream or enjoy the ride... When life's rollercoaster throws you off track, do you scream, or do you hold on tight? For Ira and Rudraksh, the journey is far from smooth: one suffocating under the weight of failure, the other nursing a heart shattered into pieces. Two strangers caught in life's ugliest turns, where every step forward is a fight against invisible battles. This is not a story of being saved by each other, but of learning to live despite the wreckage, of finding the courage to stand when the ground never stops shaking. But if their paths converge-bringing their emotions and differences-will they find solace in each other, or will those very differences pull them apart? ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ GENRES: General Fiction · Literary Fiction · Contemporary · New Adult ⚠️ Disclaimer: This story is a work of imagination, entirely original and fictional.

With every tackle, every victory, and every quiet moment together, Juliette discovers what it truly means to be seen.

    Oliver once dreamed of becoming a marine biologist, drawn to the ocean's secrets and the creatures no one else understood. But at nineteen, he's adrift: dragged down by anxiety and a past that refuses to stay under currents. And when it does quiet, it pulls him under. When the weight of life becomes too much, Oliver retreats inward, regressing into a state he's kept hidden for years. But when his parents discover this, on top of him dropping out of college, they send him to Havenridge, hoping it will 'fix' him and bring back the son they thought they knew. Tobias, a former soldier, lost his purpose the day injury forced him out of service. At Havenridge, he now devotes himself to guiding others who've lost their way, even as his own past continues to haunt him. When he meets Oliver, both are challenged to confront the parts of themselves they've kept hidden. For Oliver, it means facing the regression he's long buried. For Tobias, it means finding healing in becoming someone else's safe place. After all, what better advice is there to follow than your own? // It took Tobias a moment to return Oliver's hug. To let his arms fold around the teenager, like two hooks of an anchor finding the ocean floor. It felt unexpectedly right, how he could cast his anchor into a boy who seemed adrift himself. \\ __To Pacify the Storm is a raw, delicate exploration of trauma, healing, and the spaces where vulnerability and strength intertwine. ⚠️ Ongoing: It's still a work in progress; imperfect and evolving, so it may take a little patience to sink into. I intend to rewrite it once its finished, so stay tuned!

    So, this story is about a boy named Dave who finds out his parents secretly got him into a new school called Mountain Peak Middle School without even asking him! Like, who does that? He was super mad and tried all kinds of strikes-hunger strike, movement strike, and even a speech strike-but none worked because, well, he couldn't resist food, had an itchy nose, and didn't want bad breath. When he finally goes to the school, he hates everything at first. The people don't smile, the uniform is too tight, and there's this boring counselor named Mrs. George who can't keep a secret. But as the weeks go by, things slowly get better. He makes new friends called The Boring Bears, finds cool activities, and even starts looking for his special talent (he's good at chess, writing, coding, and more!). Even though he kept complaining at first, Dave learns to like Mountain Peak Middle School. He becomes more confident, does well in his tests, and even learns to speak in front of people without shaking like a leaf. In the end, he realizes that change isn't always terrible-it can actually make you better. And he finishes by saying something funny about life being like a PowerPoint presentation, which is so true. The story shows that even if things start bad, they can turn out great if you give them a chance.

    After being rejected by her husband and Alpha in front of half the werewolf world, Allison does the only thing left that makes sense- she walks away. Heartbroken but unbowed, she rebuilds from the ground up, turning her experience as a Luna into something new: Luna's Compass, a consultancy that fixes the messes other packs are too proud to admit they made. No attachments. No politics. No pity. But fate has a sense of humor. Her newest client, Gordon Hale, is a widowed Alpha raising three daughters and holding his pack together by sheer will. What starts as a six-month contract becomes something far more complicated- professionally, politically, and painfully personal. Between grief, politics, and the slow burn of something she swore she'd never feel again, Allison must learn that fate isn't about who you're tied to - It's about who you become when the bond breaks.

    Jayce has always been invisible. A shadow lurking behind the ordinary, trapped in the monotony of life, carrying the silent ache of a world he never asked for. Every day bleeds into the next, gray clouds mirrored in his mind, until one moment shatters him, a breakdown so raw it burns, so violent it redefines reality. But what if madness is only the beginning? What if, in the disorder of his collapse, he could tear the veil of time itself? From prehistoric forests to ancient debates, from the rise of civilizations to the minds of the greatest thinkers, Jayce will witness humanity's soul and confront the truths that most are blind to. This is a journey through history, philosophy, and the rawest edges of consciousness. It's dark. It's relentless. And it's unapologetically..Jayce. And maybe, just maybe, a reflection of something inside you.

    As Aoi arrives in Kyoto, she steps not just into a new city, but into Yuki's aching world. Amid new friendships and unfamiliar streets, Aoi begins to rebuild the fractured pieces of herself. But as her bond with Yuki deepens, she must confront a question that could unravel everything she's rediscovered: is healing found in someone's presence, or in finally becoming herself? In a world where comfort is impermanent and lyrics become lifelines, Aoi writes her way toward a new beginning. But when love is written in music, someone always has to let go, even if the melody still lingers. In a city of quiet spring and unsaid goodbyes, Aoi finds music, memory, and the ache of almost-love. AUTHOR'S NOTE: Inspired by Imase, a voice I've never touched, a name that doesn't know mine. From afar, I listened. And somewhere between the silence and the song, I began to write. He may never see these pages, but he lives in every line. This is my quiet ache, turned into art. COVER ART: AI-generated from my original concept. As a new writer without a publishing partnership, I designed this cover using AI to visually represent my story.

    Hey everyone 💕 This story is very close to my heart as it's my first time to write something- it's about a girl who refuses to give up on her dreams, no matter how impossible they seem and boy who inspire her,a social media star. 🌙✨ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Isha She loved everything - dancing, drawing, writing, living freely. But now, her world is filled with books, deadlines, and goals that feel heavier every day. Everyone calls her ambitious. She calls herself responsible. She studies hard because she believes that only education can make her financially independent - that dreams can wait until she's "stable." But what happens when her heart starts to whisper, "you're forgetting the girl you used to be"? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Aarav mehta Fame is strange. People think it fills you, but sometimes it empties you completely. Every day, I wake up to a world that already knows my name. My songs play in cafés, my face flashes across screens, and my inbox overflows with hearts and messages from people who say they "love me." But the truth is - they love the version of me that lives in their playlists, not the one who stares at the ceiling at 3 a.m., wondering when the noise will stop. Don't get me wrong - I'm grateful. Music gave me everything I once dreamed of. But somewhere between the stage lights and the studio walls, I lost the silence that used to inspire me. Now, every applause feels a little too loud, and every word I write feels a little too rehearsed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ He's a voice the whole world knows - a musician wrapped in fame, yet quietly fading in his own silence. She's a girl buried under books and expectations - once an artist, now afraid to dream again. Two completely strangers. Who find peace in each other presence. Because sometimes, the people we've never met understand us better than the ones who've always known us. #slowburn #romance #strangerstolover #peace #love #softromance

    In the quiet corners of Kano, Jemima thought she understood love-until Declan moved in next door. What began as a whisper of curiosity became an uncontrollable fire of passion, secrets, and soul-deep connection. Set in classrooms after hours, behind apartment doors, and through hidden WhatsApp chats, Pages I'll Never Burn unfolds as a raw, diary-style confession of a young woman navigating love that was never named, pain that wasn't supposed to happen, and a version of herself she never saw coming. Torn between three men-Declan, the boy who awakened her body; Felix, the friend who reappeared at the wrong time; and Mr. Darlington, the man who gave comfort she wasn't allowed to want-Jemima spirals through heartbreak, guilt, and the kind of desire that bruises. This is not a love story. It's a memory. A collection of days she wishes she could forget-but won't. A testimony of loss, longing, and the question that never stops echoing: Was I ever enough? Pages I'll Never Burn is for every girl who has ever loved in silence, broken in secret, and survived anyway.
