The eyes are said to be the gateway to the soul. For 17 year old, Audrey Anderson this is true some how she is able to see into people's memories, thoughts and emotions, simply by looking into their eyes. But when she moves away from her foster house to a little town in South Dakota with her new adoptive family, she starts to experience new people who seem to be hiding secrets that she is curious to uncover.

To everyone else, her name is Michelle Haley, the ‘nerdy’ girl of the school. What they don’t know, is that her real name is Victoria Markus. The stunning daughter of the king of werewolves, William Markus. She has relocated into the United States, under her father’s orders. Not according to her plans, she finds her mate, Damien. The mysterious, dark Alpha. He doesn’t know that Victoria is his mate, but she does. Will he ever find out that Victoria is his mate? If so, what will be his reaction? Will he accept or deny her? And most of all, will anyone figure out that she is a royal?

This story was originally called "Rejected by My Sister's Boyfriend... Did I Mention He's My Mate?" The new title is "I Hate That I Love You." If I have any views today, it's 3/31/2023, and I am finally finishing this story. It's been years since I started it-so much so that I'm going over every chapter of this short story now. If anyone needs to reach me, please email me at ItinealaBrooks@gmail.com . Thank you! Wyatt is about to become Alpha. He's the most popular boy in school and is dating-and cheating on-the most popular girl in school, Brianna. Brianna is madly in love with Wyatt, and Wyatt kind of likes her, but he won't be faithful to her for the simple fact that she won't have sex with him. She's holding out until he says those three little words: I love you. But he won't. Brianna's twin sister, Haylee, is what the school calls an "ugly, fat nerd." She gets picked on, though not enough to scar her for life. Sometimes she fantasizes about being in her sister's shoes. She would've already given herself to Wyatt if she had the chance, but she's too shy to speak up. Wyatt is disgusted to even look at Haylee. Brianna often warns Haylee to stay away from him. But when Wyatt's 18th birthday rolls around, he is horrified to discover that Haylee is his mate. The Fates have royally screwed him over, and he's pissed. He rejects her in front of everyone. Haylee decides to leave. She transfers to a new school and eventually joins a new pack. The two packs later reunite to face a common enemy and save someone dear to her and her old pack. Haylee has to choose. Will it be Wyatt... or Neal, her new man?

She is new in town with an abusive father, so when she meets the Alpha werewolf she decides one dominant male is enough for her - so she runs from him.
