Arachnea's heart raced as Xero's intense gaze locked with hers, sending a shiver down her spine. His large hands were gentle upon her waist, a grounding presence in the whirlwind of her emotions. "Look at me, princess," Xero's voice commanded softly, a plea she found herself powerless to disobey. Tears clouded her vision, and her voice was but a whisper, "Xero, please... I can't." With a tenderness that belied his firm grip, Xero brushed away a tear, offering silent comfort with a soft kiss upon her forehead. Yet, the words she longed to express remained unspoken, too raw and vulnerable for the world to hear. Austin's voice vibrated against her ear, "Tell us how much you love us, how you crave our touch, our love." She sought refuge in Austin's embrace, her body trembling as she leaned into his solid chest. His hold on her shoulders was a gentle anchor amidst the tempest of her feelings. "Why? Don't you want us too?" Zach's voice was heavy with emotion, his searching eyes locked onto hers, seeking an answer she could not find within herself. Cole's voice cut through the silence, firm yet reassuring, "Sweetheart, don't overthink it. We can wait. But remember, you're ours. We don't share. You belong to us, just the six of us, understand?" His command carried a promise of their unwavering presence, just for her. Brian's deliberate words echoed his twin's sentiment, "Listen carefully and remember." Caleb offered her a steady gaze, a beacon of certainty in the chaos. When he spoke, his conviction was clear, "You are ours, Arachnea. Ours to love, to cherish, and to be with in every way that matters." Their collective affirmation was both a challenge and a thrill. She belonged to them, a truth that calmed her fears and ignited a passion within her, marking the beginning of an extraordinary bond.

Her full lips frowned softly but her eyes were filled with amusement. She knew she couldn't beat me, not at this game. "Are you quitting? Are you a quitter?" I mocked getting under her skin. Her lips twitched before she pursed them tightly. The blues of her eyes deepened and she threw me a dangerous smirk. She shuffled and pulled off one of her sandals. Fuck. So we're doing this the long way. She raised it in the air, dangling it off her finger before tossing it aside. She raised a brow at me, she challenged me. I knew I got under her skin.

"Who was your first kiss?" Ares asked very seriously and my face started reddening. "I. . . haven't been kissed. Yet." I looked away as I didn't have the courage to meet his eyes and admit this. "Why not?" Why was he asking me this? "You obviously know why. I'm average, I'm just a normal girl." I was interrupted by an impatient scoff. "That's not why." "Fine, you tell me why." I retorted but instantly regretted it. He was going to tell me that I wasn't pretty enough or that I wasn't interesting enough or- "You were waiting." *** ~Highest Ranking: #2 in Werewolf, #1 in Fiction~ ~Translated into 5 languages!~ "My jaw is on the floor!!!

(Currently being rewritten under a new name The Claimed) Everything changed when they came out of hiding, terror spread across the world as people began to question if our presidents and our global leaders lied to us and weren't from the same race. The Beasts blended in amongst us as if we were the same, except humans didn't have the same predatory instincts and we couldn't change our forms like they could. Soon after we learnt that we weren't the only species people began going missing. Some were unlucky and taken as something that the Beasts called a Mate that one word made fear spread throughout my veins, I would rather sell my soul than have one of them mutts chain me to them. Six months went by before the government, that was un-tainted by this vile race began to take action into their own hands contacting other countries and militaries causing the great war to happen, sending both my parents off to fight for our rights. Only one of them came back, two months was the longest we lasted before we were overpowered by them. Six years of living in this dysfunctional environment and my hatred had never dwindled. Some people still believed in god and had faith in him, I didn't know what I believed in but I prayed like everyone else that I would get through another day without hearing the soul crushing word 'Mate'.
