"Stop. Stop, please." I sob as the whip comes down on my back once more. "Shut up yo-" my tormentor's words are cut off by a ferocious growl. I sense another masculine figure in the dark room, but can't make out a word he's shouting. The burning and searing pain that I'm experiencing is just too much. A sickening snap is heard and something drops onto the cold, stone flooring. The chains around my wrists and ankles are broken along with the tight metal collar around my neck. "Mate." my rescuer growls, gently cradling me in his arms. ********************* Charlotte Beck has been tortured and abused by the Red Stone pack ever since she turned eight. She doesn't know why they hate her or how she ended up a lower rank than the Omegas; no one even bothered to label her as a slave. She has never known the true meaning of love or how it felt like, all Charlotte knows is that her pack surely doesn't feel that way about her. Finding a mate was a dream that was thrown out the window long ago; all of the verbal abuse led her to believe that she didn't deserve one. It's not until she attempts to escape again that she realizes that she has a chance of living a better life, one where abuse isn't an everyday thing. Xander Reynolds, Alpha of the Lunar Shadow pack, finds her when she's taken to his cells as a trespassing prisoner. Known as the strongest Alpha in the continent, he does everything he can to protect his mate. The only problem is that she's too emotionally scarred to allow him to. His dark and violent reputation is the only thing that Charlotte knows about him. The memories of their childhood together beaten out of her mind. Traumatized and high on fear, she struggles to let down her walls. Her real home is with a man who she cannot remember and a brother who she wishes she remembered. Can Xander get his mate to love him? Or will Charlotte let her past keep them apart?

It's 2074 and times have changed. The government doesn't tolerate those who look different, act different, and have different cultural backgrounds, so the Hunt was created to get rid of these outliers. 15 year old Dakota Jackson is a candidate in the Hunt because of her red hair, and she must find a way to make it out alive. Unfortunately, the Hunters are always watching...

"Sir, you're stepping on my flower crown." Troye stammers shakily. She does not care if this will lead to her death. She will die with that flower crown on her head or so help her. "Mate." He growls at her, not getting off her flower crown. "Snickerdoodles." Troye whispers before fleeing. What? She panicked, okay?

On their 21st birthday every mateless werewolf in the their respective areas is forcibly entered into the Forest Arena. Males and Females battle it out to create a new pack. The men have one week to decide ranks in the pack and find their mates. And the females have one week to either find their mates or try and hide away from the males, because if their mate isn't in the Arena with them...the female won't make it out alive. Paige Reynolds is trying desperately to not get caught, but when one wolf from the newly formed pack finds out she is his mate, he will stop at nothing until he has her. Cover Made By: @FunnyThinking
