Highest Ranking: #2 in human What do you do when you have a cocky, jealous, hot, arrogant, Alpha mate? You drive him to the edge of insanity and you go from there. *** *Under slow reconstruction and editing, you have been warned* Please keep in mind I made this in 2014 when I was 14 years old, there are definitely mistakes and plot holes. Constructive criticism/comments on things I need to fix are welcome in moderation.

But she's wrong -- not just about him, but also about her place in the werewolf world. ***** Adopted into a family of Omegas, the lowest-ranking werewolves in the Mistwood Valley pack, eighteen-year-old Claire Masters is more concerned with her schoolwork and her adorable little brother than pandering to pack politics.
