Last chapters of To Be More are officially up! I hope you've enjoyed the journey as much as I have. I love this story, these characters, this world; they've been with me for a long, long time. I hope my love for them comes across on the page deeply enough that you feel it too.

That said, I don't know if I'm quite ready to put them down yet. I like the way To Be More ends, it feels good to me, solid, real, in a way that Before the Fall's ending didn't. But I also feel like I have more to give to Slate and Gray and their family. If I do write a third installment (which is an "if"), it will be more of a "The Adventures Of..." style of writing, I think. Maybe less plot and more soft vignettes of life lived. If you're interested in something like that, drop me a comment here or on To Be More or Before the Fall. Not much is more motivating than reading comments from you. Give me a follow if you want to stay updated :)

Love you all, thanks for reading!

To everyone following To Be More: Part II is not the end! It has been brought to my attention that this was not obvious, so I want you all to know, the hardest part is through and the rest of the book is all healing. There are 29 chapters in total, so we are approaching the end, but how it ends will definitely be more satisfying than the end of Part II to say the least. I've just posted a few more chapters. Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Apologies for the long wait since my last update. Cliche excuse, but life and my own faulty brain chemistry got in the way for a bit. Confession: I've barely edited To Be More, but I decided you guys deserve more than to wait another month for me to get it together, so I'm posting it relatively unedited. As a result, it will read a lot less polished than Before the Fall, but I think you'll forgive me as long as it means you get to actually read it before you die lol. If there are grammatical, spelling, or continuity errors that are so glaring they take you out of the story, please let me know.

That said, in the hopes of giving myself a sliver of opportunity to edit if I feel up to it, I will be posting a couple chapters at a time in the coming weeks. I'm not going to set myself up for failure by establishing a firm updating schedule, so follow me if you want notifications when I post!

Love you all and I hope you enjoy To Be More!!

Hey y'all, I'm back with another prompted short story. This one is a romance and it's a premise I've been turning over in my mind for a long time that might grow legs one day and become a full fledged novel. It's called "He and I" and it was prompted by @Prismisaic - Go check her out after you've read "He and I"! Tell me what you think!

Hey followers, Shelly here. I know you've been waiting for the Before The Fall sequel for a long time and I promise that's still in the works, but the way I work is to have a million projects at once and just enjoy the journey of where creativity takes me. I'm about 2/3 done with the sequel, which will now be called For You I Bleed, but I'm also working on reconstructing Before the Fall, so that's taking some precedence before I finish FYIB.

You may or may not have noticed that I also posted some poetry recently, which I'd love your feedback on if you're into that sort of thing, which I recognize most of you probably aren't. I'm also looking for prompts to get more practice writing different things. I just finished writing a little short story for @yoursjivi 's prompt that she gave me today on the community tab. Let me know what you want me to write and I'll give you a shout out when I post it!

Last thing is that I also started a blog under my real name, Kylie Cole (I know, shocker, Shelly Powell is an alias *gasp*) that I will be posting excerpts and short stories and poetry on along with the stories behind them. I'll also occasionally be posting personal updates, but please feel free to interact with me there too. Send me prompts in the inbox there or here on my wall, I want to here from you!

Thanks, I love you all!

Hi 💛

If you are interested in werewolves and alpha. Check out my BoyxBoy story- alpha’s boy (you can find it on my profile) 🌈💖

Dropping the synopsis here ⬇️

“OPEN THE DAMN DOOR RIGHT NOW!” He growled.
All the courage I had left, went straight out the widow next to me.
‘N..O - -, I wo..n’t. G..o away” I said, trying to sound confident, really, vocal cords now you decide give up ?
“FINE, have it your way boy” he said. Ohhh God. Fuck. I took a step back. He broke the door down and came dangerously close “YOU WILL DO AS I SAY BITCH!”

“Or what?” He smirked “OH you think you can take on Aplha ?” He put his hands on the wall behind me on both side of my head and leaned closer.
His cologne hit my nose and my knees went weak. Sweet Jesus help me.
“ time to teach you a lesson. STRIP BITCH...”
