Into The Abyss
Romance
Imagine an unfortunate victim attempting to rescue himself from a dungeon or a hole or the basement of an old, dilapidated building everytime he realizes that his abductors are already sawing wood, their limbs looking lifeless and their eyes shut tight as if in a trance.
He goes ahead to steal one of their daggers lying on the ground, and then cuts off the ropes he's tied with, meticulously, and quietly enough.
He's finally free and then creeps out of the building, climbing fences and tall trees, his legs tugging at thorns but he keeps trying his best to escape.
He sees the town in a distance after running for hours.
He heaves a sigh of relief, only to fall straight into the arms of another one of them, waiting at the gates for any victim wanting to escape.
What do you do to save your head when that thing you thought you're finally free from, pops its ugly head and jeers at you and you keep running into it on your way out?
A South African-American teenager, Ashley Amahle Butler has all her life, served punishments which should only be meted out to offenders despite not being a criminal.
Running was not easy but it was her only option, and the more she ran, the more she sank into the abyss of life.
She was going to get a new beginning somewhere else, and stop living as a victim.
She had just one supporter in the whole wide world who wanted to give her that newness her soul craved.
Eventually, she did get a new beginning but it was far from her wildest expectations.
Find out if Ashley slipped into the sweet by and by, or made it out of the abyss with her scars.
Ariana Peyton's Diary (Mated To An Enemy)
Werewolf
At school, she was exposed to bullying and all forms of rebellious attitude from her classmates and teachers.
Young Ariana's journey through life was one which was constantly controlled, until adulthood by the aftermath of wrong choices made by the woman who birthed and nurtured her.
Running became her hobby. Running from life and on one of her tireless races, she got to a destination of self-discovery. Her life had indeed come off ironical because where she was running from was actually more bearable than where she actually belonged.
She realized to her greatest surprise as she kept running tirelessly away from life that there was more to her than met the eye, and it wasn't just her incredible intelligence but something incredibly superhuman. All her life, she met with people who weren't actually people and these meetings had led her to discovering her supernatural qualities, abilities and strengths, and of course her weakness(es).
Meeting face to face with a real life werewolf had weirded her out the first time it happened, but on many other occasions, she had become accustomed to it as there were still many more supernaturals to meet, avoid or compete with-in that order. Soon enough, she realized that she didn't belong in the world where her mother and family existed; she belonged in the world of her fantasies-- the world she thought only existed in the pile of books on her shelf. And from here, the story really begins. You might like

Kerr was astounded. ‘Did that woman try to pay me? Like a prostitute?’ he thought, offended. “Ask the hotel manager for the surveillance video,” he commanded his assistant authoritatively, his eyebrows furrowed. He had a determined expression on his face. “I want to find out who was in my room last night.”
‘And when I find that woman, I’m going to teach her a lesson!’
