The Orphan and the Mythics

The Orphan and the Mythics

I was abandoned as a baby at a very small orphanage, in the small town of River Stop. I was raised in the orphanage, and I guess in this small area not a whole lot of people want to adopt an orphan girl. So, I grew up with the ladies that ran the orphanage, Frances, the old, short and very plump mean and strict head master I guess we can call her, and Mary, who was soft, sweet, caring, and was the only person in my life that ever loved me!

The Orphaned Queen

The Orphaned Queen

He says as he sits on the edge of the bed and places his hand over mine, making me look up at him. "Are Jess and Orian okay?" I say, barely above a whisper, as my heart starts to beat erratically. "They are fine. It's about the orphanage. They found the orphanage up in flames when they arrived on the pack's territory." He says, and my heart feels like it stopped beating. "The kids all got out safely, but there is no sign of the orphanage mother." "She tried to kill them!" I whisper as I feel Dosha starts pacing in my mind.

but after a few seconds of hesitation, he spoke and when he did, I listened with heaviness in my heart. Orien was a street urchin and an orphan. He had never met his parents and had grown on the streets of Adarlan, a beggar and a thief too. No one offered to help him. Abandoning children in Enchantia was a high crime and the only ones who could be bold enough to do that were women who had children outside marriages. Abandoning the children was better than getting caught and roasted alive by the keepers.

One Night With My Alpha Professor

One Night With My Alpha Professor

My Beta remained silent, waiting for the storm to pass before he said anything else. I couldn’t shoot the messenger, of course. But the reports that Charles just brought back to me were enough to make my blood boil with fury. According to our recent investigations into orphanages around Crescent territory, we discovered something… unsettling, to say the least. Apparently, it was commonplace for orphanages to commission—that’s right, commission—human children to undeserving families. Such as the family that Audrey was adopted into. Since human children were often passed over when it came to adoption, I supposed that orphanages grew desperate. So, back in the nineties, a few orphanages started

The Scorned Heiress' Revenge

The Scorned Heiress' Revenge

The quarters for the orphans, called ‘Safe Haven’ was the opposite of the Grahams’ beautiful mansion. Although the orphanage was very large and contained around 10,000–12,000 children from different places around the world, it was poorly built with wood in the far end of the estate.

The Omega’s Redemption

The Omega’s Redemption

The orphanage was dreary, filled with the echoes of children's laughter and the occasional cry of despair. Xienma, now 17, had grown accustomed to the monotony of her days. She spent most of her time in the library, poring over ancient texts and forgotten lore, trying to piece together the fragments of her past. The orphanage was her sanctuary, but it was also a prison where she felt trapped and alone.

The Don’s unexpected fiancée.

The Don’s unexpected fiancée.

Apparently, that is happening on Saturday. "What was your life like in the orphanage? I always wondered what children do in an orphanage. Is it as bad as they make it in movies?" Dante asks. "I don't know. It's like staying in a hostel. You are only a number. There is nobody who cares about you. You have to fight, or else you will be bullied. I'm used to looking after myself. It was not that bad, but it's not as good as the children who grew up with their parents. On the other hand, there are children in the orphanage who came out of an abusive house, and I was glad that I did not. It's difficult to explain to somebody who has always had parents. You always have that longing inside of you. Y

Heather exclaimed, her eyes turning red. As she placed a hand on Rory's shoulder, she continued in a sorrowful manner, "A lot of the orphans from the orphanage were abandoned by their parents because they were crippled or they were diagnosed with congenital diseases. They might have been abandoned by their parents, yet you have been more than willing to bring them hope, Ms. Emerson …" She paused for a while as she choked.

The Orphan's Goddess

The Orphan's Goddess

Little did he know about light for there was not a day with it. I was staring blankly wanting no more than just an empty space for myself. "I am lucky." I chuckled at the thought. Well, at least that's what most people say. They said not to wallow in my misery and that I was given a chance to move forward to get a taste of what life could bring. But still, I doubted it. Is living alone lucky? I questioned it and every time I did, the pain of the past triples and it is making me more helpless. After my parents died, I grew up living in the orphanage. The nuns talked to me whenever they had the time and there was a therapist who guided me out of the trauma I went through. I was treated there n

CONSUMED IN THE TRIPLET ALPHAS' HEAT

CONSUMED IN THE TRIPLET ALPHAS' HEAT

Lira My heart was pounding but I kept my voice steady. "I'm from Blackwood. I grew up in an orphanage there. And yes, I don't have formal records, but that's not unusual for orphans in Blackwood." "How convenient," Zuri said. "It's not convenient, it's common." I reached the bottom of the stairs and forced myself to look directly at her. "Blackwood has dozens of illegal orphanages. Small operations that take in children born to rogues or wolves who died without packs. They don't keep formal records because most of them are just trying to survive, not run legitimate institutions. The children are used for labor, for service, for whatever the operators can profit from. That's the reality of be

Frequently Asked Questions

The Orphans' raw emotional depth and gritty survival themes remind me of a few other gems that left me equally wrecked in the best way. 'The Book Thief' by Markus Zusak is one—it follows a foster child navigating WWII with a stolen book as her lifeline, and the narrator being Death adds this hauntingly beautiful layer. Then there's 'A Little Life' by Hanya Yanagihara, which, fair warning, is emotionally brutal but explores found family and trauma in a way that lingers for months after reading.

If you're into the sibling bond aspect, 'We Were Liars' by E. Lockhart has that eerie, tight-knit group dynamic with a twist that punches you in the gut. For something more fantastical but still packed with orphaned protagonists fighting against the odds, 'Neverwhere' by Neil Gaiman is a personal favorite—London's underground never felt so magical or dangerous.
