"Go ahead," I said, backing up against the pink wall of the shop. "Do something other than glare at me." I waited. One, two, three seconds... and nothing. I raised my chin at him. "You're boring me, mute boy." He stepped closer. Leaned toward me as his gaze burned into mine. Then... ❀ ❀ ❀ After three months in juvenile detention, it's time for Romy Pereira to help out with her family's flower shop. And it's not all bad... until they hire Jack Michel to work beside her. He doesn't speak, communicating with glares and scowls instead of words, and seems to be more interested in literal rocks than other human beings. And with an ex-convict mother, her friends drifting away, and the flower shop falling apart, the last thing Romy wants to deal with is Jack's attitude. She'll forever praise the day he screws up big time and gets himself fired, but until that day comes, it's mostly one cold-hearted girl, her silent (but still infuriating) coworker, and a whole lot flowers.

Ruby Wescott had always had a plan for the future. Go to college, get a job, find love, and get married. Preferably in that order. So when she sees her mate at the train station before leaving for college, she can sense her future plans crumbling. She makes a split second decision and gets on the train, unsure if she'll ever see her mate again. Ruby chose education over love, but now that she's back in town working as the elementary school's music teacher, will her mate find her again, or will she grow old alone?

"I will never be able to escape from here. I will never trust or love anyone again. I will never be able to find freedom..." When Nakita Ravenwood had the chance to escape, she thought she was finally free from everything, but she was caught by someone whom her wolf called as 'mate' who happened to be Glen Crawford, Alpha of the Blue Moon pack! Glen was not the only problem she had on her plate, not when the Demons were also after her for her blood. Will Nakita be able to trust people again or will she forever shut everyone out and suffer alone?
