A shiver ran down my spine, his voice pulling at me, the power in it making me want to do anything he asked. I shook my head, afraid my voice might betray me. His teeth lightly grazed my neck causing a sigh to get past my lips. I could feel him smile against my skin. He knew he was going to get what he wanted one way or another. I tried to slip away, but he grabbed my wrists, pinning them down tightly. He pressed his hard body against me. I was aware of every inch of him that was touching me. "Don't think you can just leave. We're not done yet." My stomach tightened at his words, the desire inside burning for him. My damn body at war with my mind yet again. He slid his hand up to the edge of my shorts, slowly working it's way up as his mouth trailed small nips from my neck to my collar bone and lower, stopping only when he reached the fabric. I could feel my resolve weakening as his hand reached its destination. "Say it," he demanded. I moaned, my head tipping back as he moved expertly. I wanted to say it then, I really did. But if I said the words, there was no going back. ***************** Allison Cole has just turned seventeen. Most girls would be excited, but she doesn't see it as anything special.

Things only go from bad to worse when on that very day she discovers who her mate actually is. Will Allison be able to overcome her bleak thoughts about mates and accept hers? Or is the man bad enough to make her run away? Caught between her body, her mind, and what's best for her pack. Allison must make her decision. Is it worth it?

This is an Alternate Reality for The Alpha Meets The Rogue. This short story will focus on what would have happened if fifteen year old Leila and eighteen year old Dylan would've met during high school.

The entire American landmass, from Canada to South America, is being taken over by one Pack. The Alpha Kale either wipes out each Pack or takes it over. This kind of warefare hasn’t been for hundreds of years. Alphas and their families destroyed. Other supernatural species are being hunted down. Julia killed an Alpha when she was sixteen, the same year she got pregnant, which more or less guaranteed that she'd become Alpha by the time she was twenty five. Because the Elders believed she was too childish, too young, too inexperienced, she's been training in secret to become the future Alpha of one of the smallest Packs in the world. She's still a little childish, a little stubborn, passionate, and has temper issues but loves the idea of free love and peace. Sort of. Except that what her Pack is facing now is going to go against everything she wants to achieve for her Pack. Being in Australia, the effects of what her husband's uncle, Kale, is doing isn't felt quite as strongly. They are realistically too small to stop him, at least at first, but it won't be long before he comes for the only Pack that ever escaped his fighters. And on top of that, she's mama to two six year olds and two four year olds, married to two men who are impossible, and has to somehow accept that her kids are already starting school when she really hasn't grown up herself. Julia hasn't quite grown up herself or really come to terms with this powerful position she found herself in by accident. Hasn't quite settled into her new life as Alpha-in-training. But with the Pack's survival resting on Julia now... It's going to be a busy year.
