"Tell me girl, why did you and your worthless self waltz into my territory?" An unfamiliar voice booms just before me. I keep my head down as my eyes begin to close. This is it, this is where my life will be ending. I always thought that it might be at the hand of my stepfather, but no. It's of some other guys who also hurt me in torturous ways. Let me tell you that my life has been great. Hint the sarcasm. Suddenly my chin is gripped tightly in a big hand. He forces my head up against my will. No! No I don't want to look at him, I don't want to see his monstrous face. But yet again he's way stronger than I am. So with the last bit of life I had hiding in me I fiercely look into deep blue eyes. Immediately the man's expression changes from a livid, stoic expression to a surprised and soft one. "Mate," I hear him whisper. ~~~ Willa is a simple girl who's gotten the short end of the straw in life. Left at a doorstep when she was just a newborn, to both of her adoptive parents dying, ending with her stepfather abusing her almost every night. She thought her escape from the horrid life she had at home was her boyfriend and best friend. Though in the end they both added to the torturous life she was living. So she did the only thing she could think of to get away from the terrible reality that was slowly swallowing her whole. She ran. Little did she know that running into the woods that very night would flip her entire life upside down. ---- DISCLAIMER: first couple of chapters can be cliche and can use some major editing but I promise the storyline does improve.

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?

I felt him behind me, dangerously close. His hands clenched the granite counter on either sides of me. I could feel his cold breath on my bare shoulder, causing my heart rate to accelerate so fast that each heartbeat blurred into the next. I was unbearably still, despite my spiked breaths, when I sensed his mouth right by my ear. Closing my eyes, I focused on regaining the breath he had stolen from me. That's when he whispered huskily, the words ricocheting in my head long after he was gone, "I hate you." ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• The world of Atlantis is gone, vanished.

Couple that with the plight of falling in love and she finds herself playing a starring role in the game of life where everyone is playing for keeps. Will she win... or will she lose? Excerpt: Sauntering forwards, she slid onto his lap with all the grace of a prima ballerina and wrapped her long arms around his neck. Leaning in to his ear, she blew out a little puff of hot air so that it fanned lightly over all the right places. She felt a sense of utter satisfaction when he shuddered. Now that Chloe was certain that she had his attention, she whispered in his ear. “You may have been the best bucko, but guess what…..I’m going to be better.” She lifted up so that she could look him in the face and smiled confidently back at him. His previous cocky demeanor had seemed to have lost some of its earlier steam, “Who are you?” he asked so low that only Chloe could hear him. His forehead was creased as he searched her face, watching her as if she was some type of strange puzzle that needed to be solved. Chloe lifted her hand patted his cheek. The boy didn’t have a clue. “I, my friend, am your biggest adversary. So what do you say Mr. Player, won’t you play with me?”

Ugly. That's what she was. And then a year later, she's stunningly beautiful. Beautiful is an understatement actually. What do you do if the girl you teased is suddenly the hottest thing to ever walk the earth? Addison learns that when you suddenly become drop dead gorgeous that people aren't always what they seem.

With only days left in school, and the Spring Equinox festival just around the corner, Andrea looks at her life like a glass half empty. Until a random series of events, and a dark and stormy night, change her life forever.
