"Why don't you pay attention?" Really? "Listen here ass wipe, I'm not the one who isn't paying attention. Take a good look at the crowd and figure out how to avoid all of that chaos before snapping at me." Her pale grey eyes looked up to the excessively tall male once she was sure of her footing. But what she found, caused her heart to skip a beat. He was dark and intimidating. Short espresso brown hair framed amber colored eyes which held so much anger. Two scars ran across his nose and left cheek. One, caught the corner of his lips making it appear to be permanently pulled into a snarl. The effect was a wild mix of pure danger and morbid beauty. Her inner wolf purred as she observed the new stranger, her unexpected mate. Then she watched as his eyes traveled over every inch of her. She cringed at what she knew he would see. She was short, barely over a meter and a half tall. She wore a simple black dress which didn't fit her right, and the silk scarf meant to hide more. It wasn't enough. He was a male of power. She was an omega. The two never mixed. ***** Life has a way of shanking you when you least expect it. Well, it's certainly true for Nadine. One random meeting throws her off her carefully constructed control. One lapse in behavior leads to a cascade of events, turning her life upside down. With no where else to hide, her dark secrets must come to light. However, none of it helps her keep her feet under her. Worse, the avalanche buries her in uncertainty. What is she to do with an angry and powerful wolf who doesn't want her as a mate? How will she fight the shadows of the past as they try to destroy everyone and everything she has left to care about? She's heard it before: What doesn't kill you... well, you know. ***** Warnings: This story does contain intense topics of kidnapping, sex, rape, suicide, violence and language. Though the scenes are generally not explicit, it is still not intended for underage readers.

I, Alexander Stone, reject you..." he trailed off, he doesn't even know my name. " as my mate, my soul and the luna of this pack" as soon as those words were said I felt an excruciating pain in my whole entire body. It felt like someone was setting my body a light, whilst shredding my skin off my body and taking my limbs a part one by one. The pain however was something that I could deal with and he did not expect that because his smirk faltered when my eyes started glowing. I could feel my wolf howling in pain and in anger and she was beginning to surface even more. " Why" I managed to growl out, my voice was still my own which meant that I still had some control of the situation. " You're asking why? Just a year ago you was a feeble human, you're too weak for this. I don't want a weak mate, I need a strong mate, someone that can lead a pack not someone who doesn't even know what a pack is" His words were like daggers to my heart but the disrespect hurt me the most. He shouldn't disrespect me like that, he doesn't even know who I am. " Pathetic, scatter to your little freak family and stop polluting this area" I snapped me eyes away from my so called mate to the source of the voice. It was no other Emma MqQuay, the queen bee of the school and my mates toy. By the time she said those words I was very close to my wolf taking control and partially for what I did next was due to her.
