"I want to grow up" Did you say it when you were a kid? I know I did. Have you regretted growing up at some point in your life? Have you wished you could be a careless child once again? I know you have. Everyone has. The more you grow the bigger the challenges, the obstacles, the pain. Life gets serious. You get serious. You forget to smile at the morning sun shining down your face. You are too absorved by your problems to notice the beautiful world surrounding you. And when life gets hard, you wish more than anything to turn back in time and be that small child who did not know anything when he said "I want to grow up"

Arianna is the daughter of Devin and Samantha Striker. Her parents had a rough mating, and her father cheated on her mother for a good part of it. Though things worked out for them and they're now happily married, it distorted Arianna's view of mates, so much so that she's determined not to have a mate, doesn't want one, doesn't dream of one. Ashtyn is next in line to be the Beta of his pack, Arianna's uncles pack to be precise. He's lived a care free playboy life ever since he realized girls had boobs. He's got every female he encounters eating out of the palm of his hand, and he always takes full advantage of that, but lately he's been restless. No longer completely satisfied with the constant change of bed partners, he's decided he might want something more, that elusive mate that's out there waiting for him. So what happens when the stubborn defiant Arianna meets the aspiring reformed play boy Ashtyn? A chase will ensue, to what extent will Ashtyn go to win his mate over, and how long will Arianna be able to resist her mate?

Samantha Davis has spent the past three years living in fear. After fleeing from her abusive husband in New York city, she comes across a small town in Oklahoma, and decides to try and tuck herself away and attempt on making a new quiet life for herself. But when James Kentworth moves to town, her quiet life slowly turns into something more, and her past slowly begins to catch up to her. Will she run again? Or will her feelings for James give her enough strength to get through the fear she has lived with the past three years.

For the most part Dava's led a happy life. She had everything that she needed; a loving family, a good home and her romance books. She was saved by the man that she now calls father at the age of five and grew up lacking for nothing. She was the quiet, shy type in school and stayed in the background for the most part and her simple life should have been enough. For the most part, it was. She was even satisfied with the way her life was heading until over night, her happy and simple life gets turned upside down. She walks into school and suddenly his intense gaze is focused solely on her. Adam, the Alpha's son, scented her the moment that she walked in the door. When Dava walked by him, she smelt so sweet that she was all he could think about for the rest of the day. It was then that he knew he had to have her. One way or the other, he would find a way to make her his mate. There was one small problem, Adam's father, the reigning Alpha is Dava's true sacred mate. He was already mated to Adam's mother when she came into the picture at only five years of age. Rafe decided then and there that he would keep his distance and watch her from afar. But now that his own son has stated his claim, can he sit idly by and watch him bond with the one person in this life that was meant for only him?
