Brave Misunderstanding Web Novels & Stories

The world ended on a Monday. Lara Simpson was laid off, discarded, and sitting on her parents' couch when a stranger's face flashed across the screen and screamed a warning into her skull. Now she's LII, one of the hundred Heard sworn to protect the Livings from the monsters who destroyed everything. Each month, they return and take from the Livings, without reason or mercy. Lara believes she was chosen to protect them, and she doesn't ask questions. Until she's promoted to train XC, a smiling recruit who asks too many questions and carries more pain than anyone should. He's the one person whose mind she can't calm, and the one person who makes her feel safe. But the Ruler is always watching, and the truth about the Heard is worse than the monsters. When the truth finally comes out, Lara will have to choose between the lie that saved her and the man who would give anything to save her.

I slapped a witch and was cursed. "Two years is what you have left," she said, smiling. "Then you die. Unless you kiss the Lycan King. Three times." *** Earlier, I'd found out my boyfriend was gay. Then, while walking back home with a broken heart, a stranger poured water on my head for no reason at all. And now, I had a countdown to my own death. I've never wanted a crown. I never even wanted to meet the king, the one who has sent home every woman who has ever tried to catch his eye, but then the royal decree arrived: every eligible daughter in the realm is summoned to the kingdom for the Lycan King's bride selection. It was my only chance to get close enough to him. And Xaden, the ruthless king himself, only chooses a woman who treats him well, which would have been easier if I wasn’t being nice to him because I need him to kiss me three times before I die.

THE BILLIONAIRE’S REGRET By Alvin Brown Avah Morne gave Calder Ives three years of her life, loving a man who had everything except the courage to love her the way she deserved. As his wife, she endured his emotional distance, his endless priorities, and the painful truth that a part of his heart still belonged to another woman. When Calder finally signs their divorce papers, he believes ending their marriage is the right decision. He is wrong. Avah refuses to remain the heartbroken woman he left behind. With determination, talent, and an unbreakable spirit, she builds Morne Studio into a rising interior design business. She begins creating a life defined by her own dreams, not by a billionaire's approval. Then fate brings them together again. When Avah's studio earns a place in a prestigious project owned by Calder's company, the man who once dismissed her must face the woman she has become. She is confident, successful, and no longer waiting for him to notice her worth. For the first time, Calder wants something money cannot buy: a second chance with the woman he let go. But regret cannot erase betrayal, and jealousy cannot rebuild trust. As old feelings collide with new possibilities, Avah must decide whether the man who broke her heart deserves another opportunity—or whether her future lies with someone who knows how to value her. He signed the divorce papers without looking back. Now he would give anything to make her his wife again. But this time, Avah holds the pen.
