"River, I...I didn't realize..." I say, and before I can form the rest of my sentence, he strides towards me. I immediately step away and feel the rough bark of one of the nearby trees press into my back. One of his hands grips my jaw, so firm that I wouldn't be able to turn my head away; even if I wanted to. My whole body thrums with desire, his other hand planting itself on my waist. His onyx brown eyes bore into me; it's like being peeled back to my very inner layers, like he can see every part of me. I feel my core light up with want, my breath catching as he stares down at me, angry, lustful, intense. "You are mine." He growls, his tone rough and thick with possessiveness. I'm not prepared for what happens next. MATURE CONTENT 18+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What do you do when everyone and everything you know is destroyed in front of you?

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill, of things unknown, but longed for still. And her tune is heard on the distant hill, for the caged bird sings for freedom. His lips hovered just above mine, close enough to make my senses blur. All I could think about was feeling his lips on mine again. "You don't feel the mate bond?" he asked, his voice low. "Because it's telling me to tear these clothes off you and take you right here, make you cry out my name so the whole pack knows you're mine." Lucille Hardings had always felt trapped. Living by strict rules as the Alpha's daughter, destined to follow in his footsteps as a leader. And if that wasn't enough, she'd also been chosen as the fated mate of another Alpha. But he didn't approve of her youth and doubted she was fit to be his Luna. That rejection, that pain, made her leave. She ran away from everything she knew, her pack, and went rogue. No one would have ever guessed that the once quiet, uncertain girl would transform into a fierce, powerful rogue. This story combines two books into one: Heart of a Rogue and Heart of a Luna. There will be extensive edits planned for late 2024, so some story details may change. Expect to encounter wolves, intense bonds, and eventually a glimpse into a spirit world as well.

I glared up at him my eyes narrowed, "Excuse me?" I was beyond livid by the words that just came out of his mouth. My glare didn't falter when Parker towered over me, clenching his jaw while trapping me against his desk. "You heard me." Parker's voice was low and intimidating that it made me feel so small. But I wasn't going to let him get to me. Standing up taller, I snapped, "I will not be your personal toy, available for you to do just as you please! I do not want to be held captive against my will, and not even have a say in anything. To be honest, I don't even want a mate." "You will do everything and anything I say, do you hear me?" Parker growled grabbing my chin and forcing me to look at him. Without even thinking I said the first thing that came to my head but meant every word.

"Please," I begged pulling on the man's arm that was wrapped around my torso, pressing me to him. I wanted nothing more then to be freed of his grasp."Please don't hurt me." "Shhhhhh," He whispered gently in my ear, "It'll only hurt for a second." "Dad please!" I yelled out for help, but it was too late. As soon as the words escaped my mouth his canines were deep in my neck. I flinched in pain as my neck began to burn. It was like he poured gasoline all over me and set my body on fire. ---- Octavia never thought she'd be ripped away from the only thing she new, family, but when she is she's force to adapt to a new pack and a cruel mate.

"Will you reject me?" I ask, ignoring the lump that was forming in my throat. I fought the tears that were threatening to fall. Don't cry, please Hannah, don't cry. His green eyes looked like orbs of ice that stared straight through me. A sadistic smirk pulls up his lip and he puts his arm on my right side, blocking my escape route. "Reject you? That's an easy escape, don't you think?" his voice was as cold as his eyes, as his heart. "The moon goddess gave me you and I'll simply pay her for her kindness." his tone was laced with venom, hatred and disgust. "If she thinks that I can ever accept an Omega as my mate, she's damned wrong." "to those who grew up too fast" A/N: Hey there!

After having turned 16, she is forced to attend the mating ball, a ball for the werewolves to meet their mate, something Paige and her parents have always prayed to not happen to her, but in vain. *** I let my fingers brush against the back of the books, feeling myself becoming giddy at all the different titles. I turned around and went over to another bookshelf, bending my knees to look closer at the books on the bottom shelves. My muscles froze in place when I heard the door opening, a line of light spreading next to me. I closed my eyes, praying that my snooping wouldn't end up being the death of me, before abruptly straightening out my knees, and then slowly turning around. Because of the light coming from behind him, all I could see was a tall broad-shouldered silhouette, a pair of eyes lighting gold. My heart stopped in my chest. "Mine."
