Her Buried Bones

What if life gave them only three strikes to find love, and they already missed out on the first pitch? Would they strike out or hit a home run? Skyler McKenzie, a single mom, had lived a simple but happy life with her seven-year-old son, Noel, and loving parents in a small suburban town away from the buzzing city. One day, everything changed when she accepted a job and moved to a big city. Years later, she made a life for her son and herself, had her heart broken, but eventually met the man of her dreams. She fell head over heels for him, flipping her world upside down and thinking it must be love at first sight. It was perfect. But there was just one problem. She had a past that she could not remember. She did not even know who the father of her child was. So, was the present enough for her to move on to the future, or would her past continue to haunt her? Noah Maxwell, one of the most eligible bachelors in the city, was a famous baseball player and successful entrepreneur. He had everything he needed. He had fame, wealth, women, and practically everything he wanted. However, he still felt something was missing in his life. A large void in his heart still made him seem incomplete. He believed he needed a new reason to live until he met her. He immediately felt the connection between them. He knew that he had fallen in love with her the instant that their eyes met. But there was a problem. She resembled the girl who had once owned and broken his heart. He loved her, but she betrayed him. Then, she died. Now, he wondered if he could be in love with her or the woman he had seen in her. But what if, by some twisted fate, an invisible chain had always linked their lives together? Did she still wish to remember her lost memories if they held too many dark and heartbreaking secrets? Did he still want to hold on to the past if it only brought pain? Looking through each other's eyes, would they finally see the truth? With one last swing, would they find their second chance for love?

When Mara Kline returns to her late grandmother’s remote house in Canada to settle its affairs, she expects dust and silence. Instead, she finds a relic of the past—a rotary phone in the attic that inexplicably rings despite being unplugged. Against her better judgment, she answers. On the other end is Ellie, a frightened girl claiming she is hiding somewhere in the very same house—but in 1999. A masked man with a burlap-covered face and a rusted knife is hunting her. At first, Mara dismisses the calls as a cruel prank or a lingering symptom of her childhood trauma. But soon, reality itself begins to shift. Muddy footprints appear on the hardwood floor when no one is there. Familiar objects rearrange themselves into echoes of her past. A fresh scar forms on her arm, mirroring the injuries Ellie describes in real time. The deeper she digs, the more the house tightens its grip, twisting time and memory until past and present blur into one waking nightmare. As the calls grow more desperate, Mara realizes the masked figure may not be a stranger—it may be something far worse: a manifestation of her father’s grief and rage, shaped by loss and twisted by time. Old diaries appear, filled with entries she doesn’t remember writing. Visions of a childhood she thought she had buried claw their way back into her mind. Trapped in a house that refuses to let go, Mara must unravel the truth before she becomes just another ghost of its history. But even if she breaks the cycle, some echoes never truly fade.

He called me his ruin. Then he made me one. Alpha Shiloh's rejection wasn’t just a scar—it was a betrayal. He left me shattered. Broken. And I had to rebuild myself in silence. I almost forgot the way his touch once burned like salvation. Now he’s back. Not to beg forgiveness. To bargain. A deadly mission, he says. He promises freedom. But then presence ignites my wolf into a frenzy. She thrashes, desperate to claim him again. But I remember the coldness in his eyes when he exiled me. The way the pack turned their backs as I crawled into the wilderness, half-dead and wholly broken. Hate simmers hotter than desire. Yet here I am, bargaining with the devil who shattered me. Every moment we share is a lie. He doesn’t know about the shadows I’ve fed, the truth I’ve buried. Or the child. One whisper of its existence, and the pack will paint the forest with my blood. But the closer we get to completing his mission, the harder it is to hide… from him, or from the part of me that still craves him. Freedom has a price. So does vengeance. And I’m not sure which will destroy me first.

"Take her," the dangerous man orders casually, like I'm the most boring little human he's ever encountered in his life. "I said stay the fuck away!" I yell at him this time, causing him to tilt his head in amusement. "A little girl like you shouldn't be swearing at your elders. It's bad habit. Your daddy should have taught you better." Hold on. My daddy. And if I heard correctly the first time, the other man had mentioned something about 'daughter' and 'grown woman'. Shit! What's going on? This must be Darius Hunter! And how do they know about my existence!? Oh no! My father! Have they taken him? Have they hurt him? "Darius... Hunter?" I stutter in sheer terror, the dangerous man tensing as I mention his name. "You know my name. I don't know if I should be impressed or disappointed," Darius chuckles, amusement seeping into his tone. "Errrm... I... Where's my father...?" My demand sounds more like a plea, my voice shuddering in painful anticipation. "Waiting for you at my place. He said we should come get you. I didn't expect you to be old enough to beat up my man.
