A mission to reclaim everything that she had once lost at the hands of others. She quickly finds herself fighting a past that she struggles to forget and creating a future that she can live with. It becomes a constant battle for her, centered around peer pressure, character stereo types, cliques and consequences. 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?”

*editing* "As soon as he touched my arms sparks started to run along them. I missed him. The bond between us had grown stronger over the time apart. My heart was skipping to an unfamiliar beat and as soon as I was through the hole I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him to me connecting his lips with mine. He kissed me back instantly. For what felt like hours, that I didn’t want to end, we kissed in the tiny broom closet entrance to the basement. I had no idea love could be so wonderful. I am absolutely, without a doubt, in love with Troy Quill." They're both future alphas, they're mates, but she doesn't believe in mates. Bluebell West is mute, she accepts that. She cannot accept Troy saying hes her mate, because she thinks hes using her for her pack. Which he is not true, not at all. Troy will do anything to win Bluebell's heart and make her believe that the love of mates is true, even if she isn't a werewolf. She may be future alpha of a legendary pack, but her mixed bloodline makes her only part werewolf, part human, and part/all dryad.
