Violence Of Mind

From the outside, her life looked like a storybook — young love, a growing family, and the hope of a future built on hard work and devotion. But behind closed doors, it was a different world — one filled with control, silence, and bruises too deep for anyone to see. Before she turned twenty-one, she had already survived a violent marriage, the constant threat of losing her children, and a battle between truth and lies that nearly destroyed her. Every time she tried to rebuild, life seemed to find a new way to break her — a false accusation that stole her children, a fire that turned into murder, and the death of the man who had helped her believe in love again. Echos of Ruin is the raw, unflinching story of a woman who refuses to stay broken. Through violence, betrayal, and unbearable loss, she finds the courage to keep moving — to fight for her truth even when no one will listen. It’s a story of motherhood and survival, of loving and losing, and of discovering that sometimes the only way to save yourself is to walk through the fire. Told with haunting honesty and sharp clarity, this memoir is not just about what was taken from her — it’s about what she refused to surrender: her spirit, her strength, and her voice. Because even when the world tried to silence her, she learned the most powerful truth of all — the human heart can shatter a thousand times and still find the strength to beat again.

"I don't know why the moon goddess blessed me with a mate when being mateless was my punishment. But once your fate is written with mine, love me or hate me....you are mine. MINE!" *** Being assigned to kill the head-hearted barbarous Alpha, Ven went to his territory willingly after their first meeting. But the thing she didn't know then was, he was an immortal, like her. She wanted to find a way to end her immortality and in that journey, a mysterious man asked her to kill Aragon. Meeting Aragon was pre-planned by that mysterious man, but feeling some unavoidable affection was fate. When he was desperate to keep her by his side, she badly needed to leave him. Why so?

She didn't want to kill him anymore, neither she wanted him to know about her reality. She was fated to be his mate but no way he could mark her. Not that her poisons would kill him, but it would make his life worse than death. And he had a magical universe to protect. Could he accept her like a poison damsel when it was harmful to his pack? How would they remove the curse to accept each other when it was their punishment of some sins from a past life? Was it even possible? And also who was the mysterious man to pave the way for their journey? Was it a selfless help for two love birds or a selfish trap for two powerful immortals? Being bound to protect the magical world, were they fated to be together or moon goddess planned to fall them apart?

Welcome back to Clifton Heights. Sheriff Chris Baker and Father Ward meet for a Saturday morning breakfast at The Skylark Diner to once again commiserate over the weird and terrifying secrets surrounding their town. Sheriff Baker shares with Father Ward the story of a journal discovered in the ruins of what was once an elaborate koi pond and flower garden, which regales a tale of regret, buried pain, and unfulfilled debt: “Sophan” – Jake Burns has always been a bit...off. Rude, awkward, sometimes brutish, he's tolerated by Nate Slocum and his friends because he hits a mean line drive, and because they all know but don't discuss the abuse he faces at the hands of his troubled father, a Vietnam veteran consumed by his demons. But Jake is suffering something far worse than domestic abuse, and when Nate discovers what, he faces an impossible choice: help Jake and put himself in the path of evil, or abandon him, only to damn himself in the process. ©️ Crystal Lake Publishing
