What does freedom mean when you don't remember how to live? Five years in white walls taught me how to survive, not how to exist... How do you start over when your hands are still stained? They say I'm free now, that I've done my time. But the world outside feels wrong. Too bright, too alive... They call it LUCK. Lucky to have a second chance. Lucky to breathe air that doesn't taste like bleach and metal. But luck will never change what I did... ~Owen Owen Williams was never loved... not by the people who called themselves his parents. Years of cruelty carved something hollow inside him, until one night, at twelve years old, the breaking point came. A knife. A scream. Blood he still can't wash from his hands. He told himself it was survival. But the guilt never left. Five years locked in a mental hospital couldn't silence the echoes of that night. Now, seventeen and released into a small town under the watch of a kind officer, Owen is supposed to start over... to live again. But how do you begin when the past won't let go? When every breath tastes like a memory? And when forgiveness feels like something meant for someone else?

Elias Ramirez was taken from his family at only a few months old by his mother. His life was one of chaos, neglect, abuse, and confusion. He never understood why his parents didn't care about him like all other parents do. Why he would see parents hugging their kids, and taking them on trips. His own parents never did that, they never talked to him unless they wanted something from him, they never kissed him on the cheek or kissed his scraped knees. He doesn't understand what the word love meant. Growing up in an abusive home for his entire life taught him to only rely on himself, and to not let anyone push him around.

"F*CK" hearing the word in my voice even though my lips are closed is scary. "I am only allowed to curse in my voice" The deep voice leaving my lips scaring the sh*t out of me. "That is not our biggest problem sweetheart, look" I, or the person in my form held the phone in my face...or not my face? I took the phone in my hand. I have never been so confused. The phone showed me, a guy with a 5 o'clock shadow, sharp sculpted jaw, and short brown hair. Honey gold eyes blinking back at me. I put a hand in front of my face...and so did the guy in the phone... Oh no what have I done. ...my mate and I swapped bodies. "HEY-" I was going to start a panic rant, but the sight of my mate, who is in my body, trying to get a feel of my D cup breasts ringed every alarm bell in my head. "F*cking move another inch, and I will cut off your third leg in the middle down south" my voice deep full of dominance. I was in an Alpha's body, so came the powers with it. ______________________ Luana thought she was smart, using a potion to hide her presence from her mate, if she encountered him on her stay in the Placid Pack.

A deep voice said him. Though the voice seemed quiet and calm, the boy knew better. Another voice made its way into his ears. "You should know that even if you succeeded in your pathetic attempt at escaping us, we would do everything in our power to be with you even in death." Yes... He knew this fact all too well. Tears rolled down his face, knowing that there was truly... No way out.
