"In my family, being intelligent wasn't a blessing - it was a disgrace." At fifteen, I became the problem. The only science student in a family that calls me bad luck. The daughter my mother regrets. The mistake no one lets me forget. "I wish I never had you." She didn't whisper it. She meant it. In a house where ambition is rebellion and dreams are disrespect, I learned how to shrink. How to stay quiet. How to pretend their words didn't cut. But some wounds don't bleed. They suffocate. Some nights, I prayed not to wake up. Until Cleo Brown saw something in me no one else did. Not a curse. Not a disgrace. But potential. She pushes me to enter the National Periodic Competition - a challenge that could change everything. But what if winning isn't enough to fix what's broken inside? This isn't just a story about a competition. It's about surviving the people who were supposed to love you. It's about choosing to rise when you feel unwanted. It's about discovering that maybe... just maybe... I was never the disgrace.

Andy Evans is just a regular kid from San Francisco who’s always dreamed of becoming a superhero.

None of it ever worked. Until one day, it did. Out of nowhere, Andy woke up covered in fur, with sharper senses, incredible strength, and a tail he could barely control. At first, he thought it was a curse — but to Andy, it was the sign he’d been waiting for. So he made his own costume, called himself Monkie Kid, and decided to protect his city the only way he knew how. Now, between homework, hiding his secret, and keeping San Francisco safe, Andy’s life is anything but normal. When he’s approached by the mysterious World Heroic Agency, Andy has a chance to become an official superhero — but being part of the big leagues isn’t as simple as it sounds. Because every hero has an origin story… And Andy’s is just getting started.

All werewolves have mates. So what happens when you fall for someone before you're 18... "Hopefully hes my mate" is all Markie can think as she waits for her 18th. This is a short story that takes place in the middle of "Orphan Wolf". It can be read independently but will have spoilers if you intend to read "Orphan Wolf"... I of course would suggest you read it and pause at the point I marked to read "Markie" but the choice is yours. Story excerpt "Come on Ryan leave me alone!" A boy yells. "You started it Francis... come on pup don't start that with me... I don't have time for this! GO HOME!" I felt the command. I see the little 8 year old boy from last night run away crying, one of Ruby's cousins. When I turn the corner I see a boy about 20 and am hit with an overpowering smell something like fresh cut wood and autumn leaves. It is amazing. I see the guy turn towards me and duck behind the house I am standing by before he sees me. Nope! Not him! Not happening! I hear footsteps coming towards me and run. Into the woods I find a pine tree. Perfect! Pine trees are great hiding places. The branches hide you visually and the smell masks your scent. I climb up as quickly as I can and watch the guy approaching. He circles my tree looking around but eventually gives up and goes back towards the houses. "Mate!" My wolf happily purs. "Not him!" I respond. "Denial." She says. "Refusal." I counter and she growls at me. "You will NOT reject him!" She orders. "He is a bully!" "He is mate!" "He commanded that kid when he could have just talked to him! He is a bully with no patience!" "He is an Alpha!" She purrs with pride at his rank. I don't care! "I don't want him!" "The one you want isn't mate. He isn't yours. He isn't interested... I want mate!" "No." I block her out and climb down the tree.
