"Before I show you who I am, I want you to remember what you're fighting for," Aide replied cautiously and gave them all a piercing stare. "Keep an open mind." "Just tell us, lad," Hanke snarled impatiently and bobbed his sword. "Brace yourselves," Aide said as he slowly reached for his hood. Emaia's heart pounded vigorously in her chest, so loudly, she feared people could hear. This was it. She would finally see the face of her rescuer, the face she had so longed to see. Aide gave them all one last lingering look before he closed his eyes. "Your whole world is about to change." He punctuated his sentence by pulling off his hood. The entire crowd gasped and all readied their weapons, as long silver hair burst free from the cloak and long slender ears appeared. It was impossible, Emaia thought. They had been extinct for decades. But there was no denying it. She looked at the man who had rescued her a few nights ago, and remembered him as charming and valiant. It all made so much sense now-why he could do, what he could do. He was an elf. And not just any elf. - A Northern Elf.

EXCERPT: "So, I'm dying. In the worst, best, way possible." I stated looking at my sisters on either side of the hospital bed. "You won't die Ivie, we wont let that happen." Devin, the oldest, the one who would get hurt the worst by me dying, stated clutching my hand and pulling it towards her huge belly. "You have to be the responsible aunt, we both know who the crazy one is." She said laughing lightly and I looked over at Aurora who pouted. "Ladies." I looked up at the white coat doctor as he strolled in with a guy in an Armani suit following him. "This is Valentino Clarke, he's a werewolf and the best damn scientist I know. If he can figure out how to save your life." "I thought he was a human..." Devin whispered looking towards me. I forgot I almost gushed about how hot Valentino was, how young and how he made such a huge impact on the human world. "Most people do, those who don't know better anyways." Valentino chuckled and the took off his coat. "Now, your name sounds familiar, do I know you?" He hadn't even looked at me just my chart. "She's the witch who saved everyone's life. The one who has now sacrificed her life so the dead will not rise again." Devin snapped and I heard a knock on the door before Mark poked his head in. "Dev, babe, stressing-" "Isn't good for the baby." Me, Aurora, Mark, and Devin all said in unison making all of us laugh lightly, and I started coughing heavily right after. "Breathe through it Ms. Ames." I said a spell, it was supposed to be a curse for someone, but I cast it on myself. And now I was dying. All of my organs were going to fail, and then my mind would go slowly. I would not be myself ever again.

IIHighest rank no: 3II What are the repercussions of a rejection? 1. Getting numb 2. Failing to care about anyone else and 3. Genocide(yes just kill off everyone and get it done with.) At least to me, these are the solutions and they are absolute. Incomparable. Yeah, being an unwanted mate and a disowned daughter can do things to someone. Especially when said mate is the alpha king himself. In other words, unavoidable. So what happens when the world we know today is run by electronic chips embedded in your body? What happens when rogues are no longer a threat but something far worse. Or when for the first time a werewolf joins the vampire army to kill her own kind? With a hidden gift on its way, the odds just turned in my favor too. How about seeing everything in the villain's perspective for a change? Afterall, they are the one everyone hates, isn't it? This is my story. This is me fighting for the chances that ended before it even started. And it will go through some pretty 'different' (putting it mildly) stuff before you see the end of it. This is not a cliche story. Yes, rejection is there. But the story starts with rejection. Please give it a chance. I promise it won't disappoint.
