Angst Stories

Vihaan is a 19-year-old who looks like he was never meant to survive in a world like this-soft-spoken, overly dramatic, painfully innocent, and the kind of person who would apologize to a chair he accidentally bumps into. Life, however, has not been kind. Buried under urgent debts and desperate circumstances, he is pushed into a corner where money matters more than morals, even though he physically cannot bring himself to hurt even a fly. So when a shadowy figure offers him an "easy opportunity" to solve all his problems-kidnap a man and deliver him for a payout-Vihaan agrees. Not because he is dangerous. But because he is desperate enough to pretend he could be. The target is Hriday, a 26-year-old mafia boss whose name alone makes entire rooms go silent. Cold, controlled, and feared across criminal circles, Hriday is not someone anyone touches and survives the consequences. Which is exactly why Vihaan was told to take him. What follows is nothing like a calculated crime. Vihaan's kidnapping attempt is chaotic from the very first second-bad planning, worse execution, and pure panic disguised as determination. He trips over his own steps, drops equipment at the worst possible moments, and somehow still manages to stumble into situations where luck does more work than skill. Hriday, on the other hand, finds himself not dealing with a professional threat, but with a trembling, wide-eyed boy who looks like he might faint before he even finishes the job. And yet-somehow-against all logic, Vihaan succeeds in the most absurd way possible. Not because he is capable. But because the world briefly stops making sense the moment he walks into it.

Running against time to be near her. Chasing every moment, following every rule, just so she might remember him again. And if she can't... Can he remember it all for both of them? .............

Her love is a weapon. It's killed before. And this time, she's sworn it won't happen again. Everyone at Blackthorn University thinks Kara is just another human girl juggling midterms, frat parties, and overpriced lattes. No one suspects the truth: that she's a Phoenix shifter, hiding in plain sight in a world ruled by werewolves and lycans. Even her closest friends don't know the fire simmering beneath her skin. But Kara isn't just hiding from them, she's hiding from fate. From the one thing she dreads more than anything else: her mate. She's done letting her love be a death sentence. She won't survive another loss. The scars she bears run deeper than flesh. So when Ryker, the dangerously magnetic lycan General, realizes Kara is his fated mate, she does exactly what she swore she would. She pushes him away. Again. And again. And again. But lycans don't walk away from their mates. And Ryker? He's dominant, possessive, and utterly relentless. He's a storm she can't outrun, a flame that won't go out. And every heated glance, every stolen moment, threatens to shatter the walls she's spent years building. As secrets ignite and her past begins to unravel, Kara must face the truth: Can she let herself love again, knowing it could destroy them both? Or will her lies-and the deadly curse entwined with her love-be the very thing that dooms them forever?

Anomaly /əˈnɒməli/ A phenomenon that should not exist within the natural order of a world. Mikaelson Brothers × Original Female Character "You know what's strange?" Astrid whispered, her shoulder pressing harder against the fabric of the couch. "I think you're more dangerous than Klaus." Elijah stilled completely. His hands remained folded, but the steady calm in his chest tightened into a sharp, focused pressure. "Everyone who watched your story thinks Klaus is the monster because he lashes out," Astrid continued quietly. "They fear Kol because he's visibly unstable, and they fear Finn because of how severe he can be. We know they will resort to violence because it's right on the surface." She took a slow step forward, her fingers brushing the edge of the table. "But you..." she whispered. "You hide yourself. Behind your suits. Your manners. Your promises." Her sea-green eyes lifted to meet his. "You even hide behind that red door in your mind." For the first time since entering the cottage, Elijah Mikaelson looked genuinely unsettled. "People trust you because you look controlled," Astrid whispered with exhausting honesty. "They believe the illusion of your nobility. But I think that makes you impossible to predict. You are the hardest to trust because you make people believe they are safe right before you do what is necessary." Highest Ranking : 30/05/2026 #1 in thevampirediaries

"Open your legs wider," jungkook commanded, low and controlled, like he wasn't speaking to the boy he once cherished. He watched Taehyung obey not out of need but out of force. Skin met skin, heat without tenderness, closeness stripped of comfort. When it was over, Taehyung's hands trembled as he leaned in, searching, "Just hold me, please" he whispered, fragile with hope. Jungkook bent close instead, breath ghosting his ear. "You can't be her." 《Content warning》 • Violence • Profanity • IllegalActivity • Abuse • Homophobia • Vengeance • BloodandGore • Drug
