"Put that down before you put hurt yourself alpha," I smirked at him, but I felt a searing pain in my chest where my heart is. I thought my mate would mend my heart like it was never destroyed in the past, but I was wrong. Let me tell you some facts. He is holding a gun at me. I'm not human. I'm half werewolf, half vampire. My parents are hybrids too. If they are alive that is. The alpha in front of me has them in his basement, locked up, like lab rats and instead of tests, it's torture. Testing them, finding out how else we can be killed. I'm going to save them. Alright now you need to know my history for this relation between us to work. I have a story we keep secret. I'm royalty. I should be in charge. In control. The idiot in front of me thinks his men killed the princess but kept the king and queen. I don't think so buddy. "I Destiny Darkhollow, granddaughter of King George Darkhollow, next in line for the thrown of supernaturals, reject you, Alpha Derek Dawnson as my mate." He fell onto his knees and dropped the gun in his hand.

THANK YOU, Wattpad, for the HQ Love Watty Award! Concept: A mysterious young woman flees from her troubled past only to discover it is impossible to escape THE SECRET that haunts her. *PLEASE NOTE: This story was originally inspired by the movie "Sleeping With the Enemy". * * * * * "I would never, Steven," she promised, turning away from him in an attempt to protect herself. "I know you wouldn't," he screamed. Cupping her chin in his hand, he forced her to look at him. "Because I would kill you." His words hung heavy in the air. Sarah's heart sank into her stomach. No matter how many times she'd heard the menacing phrase, she could never get used to it. It had the same affect on her as the first time he'd thrown the ugly words in her face. The familiar sting of bile rose in her throat, and she knew she would deplete the contents of her stomach once she was locked in the safety of their master bath. 'If I make it through this time,' she agonized. Her biggest fear was that one day he would really lose his temper with her. Who knew what would happen then? *This story is an unedited first draft.

The War is over. Harry and Hermione need a holiday and New York seems like a great place to begin a tour of the US. Will the Russos help or hinder them when vengeful Death Eaters come calling? Due to recent changes in the rating system here, I decided this fic probably warrants a Mature rating. However, I have written the story in a manner suitable for a PG-13 audience. The rating is for sexual themes, violence, and language.
