The Apocalypse Survival Manual

An apocalypse driven by natural disasters. Survival of the fittest. Typhoons, floods, deadly cold, scorching heat, earthquakes, tsunamis, insect plagues, acid rain… After struggling through three years of the apocalypse, Nicole Floyd met a brutal death. Miraculously, she woke up and found herself three days before it all began. Nicole seized the advantage to reclaim her storage space, flipping the switch on full-on stockpiling mode. She shopped until she ran out of money, and her storage was packed tight. She also looked for the dog that had saved her life once before. She sharpened her knives, stacked her supplies, and took care of unfinished business. She paid back every debt, whether owed in blood or in kindness. And then, disaster struck. Her right hand gripping a knife and her left stroking the dog, Nicole pressed on through the ruins of a world without order or morals.

Roxie is howling in desperation, because she wants her mate and he just rejected us, causing her immense pain too. The sooner I accept, the sooner we can move on. “I, Rebel Lawson, accept your rejection.” It was like a final death blow. I see Alpha Cullen grab his chest, taking deep breaths. Then after a couple of minutes he stood straight up. I still haven’t moved. “You will not mention this to anyone, do you understand?” As much pain as I was in, I couldn’t muster up the strength to say yes, so I just nodded. “Good, I can’t have people knowing I was mated to such a she-wolf.” With that, he turned and walked away. I turned and went back to the lake, sat down next to my guitar and then the barriers crumbled. I held on to my chest and cried for hours. Roxie feeling weak from the rejection, retreated to the back of my mind. She was still talking to me, but it was much quieter. I felt so incredibly alone. Fated mates were supposed to love each other, no matter what. He was supposed to protect, cherish and love me. However, I never felt more unwanted and alone.

Falling For The Wrong one

Introduction “I hate you,” I choked out as he sank deep, teeth scraping over my nipple. “Liar,” Kai growled, fist tightening in my hair as he drove harder. “Your cunt is soaking for the guy who used to make you cry, freckles. Say you’re mine.” “Never…this is all pretend. We’re pretending,” I trembled even as my body arched into him. “Then you won’t mind if I ruin you completely.” He pulled out, leaving me empty and desperate. “Ruin me. Break me.

The Bride Swap

After being reborn, the first thing my cousin and I did was switch grooms. In our previous lives, we had gotten married on the same day.

My cousin had only wanted an explanation, but Blake claimed his conscience was clear. They fell into a silence that lasted fifty years. And me? With my temper—quick to fight, never one for patience—I had married an accountant from the machinery plant's compound. The accountant was soft-spoken, forever complaining about how loud I was, and how little I cared about appearances. We fought every three days, major arguments every five. Eventually, he stopped coming home. Less than a year into the marriage, we divorced. Then one day, my cousin and I opened our eyes and found ourselves young again—and it was the day we were to marry.

But my husband Mark - the city's most prominent detective - was at the hospital with his first love Emma, accompanying her for her medical checkup. Three days ago, he demanded me to donate my kidney to Emma. When I refused, telling him I was two months pregnant with our child, his eyes had turned cold. "Stop lying," he had snarled. "You're just being selfish, trying to let Emma die." He pulled over on the dark highway. "Get out," he ordered. "Walk home since you're so heartless. " I stood there in the darkness and was kidnapped by the vengeful criminal, whom Mark had once imprisoned. He cut out my tongue. With cruel satisfaction, he used my phone to call my husband. Mark's response was brief and cold: "Whatever it is, Emma's medical checkup is more important! She needs me right now." The criminal let out a dark chuckle. "Well, well... Seems like the great detective values his ex's life more than his current wife's." When Mark arrived at the crime scene hours later, he was horrified by the brutality inflicted on the corpse. He angrily condemned the murderer for treating a pregnant woman so cruelly But he didn't recognize that the mutilated body before him was his own wife - me.

We Stopped Waiting

Sebastian was staring at his phone screen again, spooning oatmeal baby food from the microwave into our six-month-old son's mouth. A second later, the baby screamed, scalded, and the food and spoon clattered to the floor. Sebastian was still swiping through his phone. Without looking up, he said, "Sorry. I wasn't paying attention." Ever since Vivian, the high school homecoming queen, had re-added him, that line had become his catchphrase. I scrambled to get ice water to cool the baby's mouth, fighting back tears of panic. The baby screamed until he was nearly choking before Sebastian finally looked up at me. Then he looked back down and furiously refreshed his screen. "Don't just stand there. Do something, Joyce. You know how hard Coachella tickets are to get. I have to watch the countdown. Vivian's been prepping for this for half a year." His subtext was clear. Stop bothering him with his "real" priorities. I looked at the clear blisters burned into my baby's mouth, and a chill crept up from the soles of my feet. Sebastian thought his family would always be there, waiting in place. But this time, we weren't waiting anymore.

The Marriage I Never Had

From the time I was 22 until I turned 30, Brianna Everly and I had a wedding every year. The only thing we never had was a marriage certificate. She said she was afraid of marriage, terrified that we'd end up like her parents. So I gave her eight years to prepare herself—until our eighth wedding, when Brianna showed up in the wrong wedding dress. It looked just like the wedding dress she'd always worn for our ceremonies, except for one detail. The name embroidered along the neckline wasn't mine. It was my best friend, Leon Stratford's. I was about to confront Brianna when my brother, Dominic Sterling, grabbed my arm. "Harrison, it's been eight years. What's the point of digging into it now? Just pretend you never saw anything." I stared at him in disbelief. "Dominic, you knew all along?" He stiffened and glanced at all the family and friends gathered at the wedding. "I'm not the only one who knows. Everyone does too." I stood there stunned, unable to find my voice for a long moment. "Why? Why did Brianna hold a wedding with me every year for the past eight years?" Dominic explained with pity in his eyes, "Having a wedding every year was Leon's idea. Except for the wedding when they actually got legally married, every wedding after that was one Leon had, and you had one too." It turned out the marriage certificate I'd spent eight years waiting for had been given to someone else long ago. Worse, I was the last person to find out.

My Graduation Day, Their Wedding Day

The day we take our graduation photos, I come across a photographer's social media post. "I've been a photographer for a decade, and this is the first time I've ever photographed a couple's wedding portraits on their graduation day! The groom's handsome, the bride's beautiful, and she spends the entire shoot putting her husband's feelings first. "She even tells me that marrying him is the greatest blessing of her life. Even though we shot from sunrise to sunset and my camera's memory card is bursting at the seams, it was totally worth it to capture such a match made in heaven!" My mind drifts back to our graduation photo session earlier that day when my girlfriend suddenly flakes on me, leaving me without even a single photo of us together in our caps and gowns. I click on the photos with a heavy heart, unable to hide my envy. The moment my eyes land on the couple's faces, my breath instantly catches in my throat. The woman is Celine Waverly, my girlfriend of four years, who always told me we should wait until we both have stable jobs before getting married. The man is my close friend and the campus heartthrob, Marcus Cross. Just two hours ago, Marcus was comforting me on WhatsApp, telling me there are plenty of fish in the sea and that if Celine doesn't appreciate me, I can always find someone else. Yet now, he's holding my girlfriend's hand, about to marry her and start their happily ever after.
