Azelie Ryans is the definition of fearless. She will jump out of planes, hold spiders, lick any public toilet and will do any and every dare. She will do everything and everything that makes any other person feel the one emotion she no longer experiences - fear. Secrets cloud her past, making her hard to figure out, but Cole's certain that he can change that. Cole refuses to believe that Azelie isn't scared of anything, he's sure that there's at least one thing that everyones scared of. No matter how big, or small. And he's determined to find out what Azelie is scared of. Even if it means facing his own fear.

"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?

"Hey? How come you don't talk much?" He says, lips catching at the edge in a cute carefree smile. I glance away as the breeze gently sways my hair behind me, landing softly mid-back. I look into the distance and admire the breathtaking view. The deep evergreen forest seems to glow bright in its natural glory. The breeze sweeps again causing the trees to sway, a leave lands gently next to us. A frown creeps its way onto my lips as a deep stir moves within me. The world and all its inhabitants seem to connect as one naturally ... normally ... yet in this world, I seem to exist and have no place in it. I come back to reality as I feel his intense gaze on me deepen. I grimace looking at nothing in particular while continuing the mental battle within. Should I just tell him? Or maybe ... show him? I sneak a quick peek at him, watching his amazing carefree smile fade into a slight frown. Those beautiful hazel eyes filling with concern, while he shifts closer to me in an almost defensive stance. Knowing that I need to be careful with the decision I make, I take a deep breath before fully facing him, my crystal blue eyes get lost in his caramel chocolate ones, as he fully reads me like an open book. His eyes soften while he raises his strong firm hand up to my cheek, caressing it with his thumb, creating tiny imaginary sparks to fly across my face. I sigh at the touch, leaning into it while relaxing my body next to his. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." He whispers so quietly I could have missed it if it weren't for my miraculous hearing. I pull away from him slowly and sit up, he immediately straightens up watching me carefully. My hand begins to tremble as I slowly raise it up to the collar of my turtleneck, my eyes search his for reassurance, and seeing my hesitation he gives me a small smile along with a squeeze on my knee. I gently bring down the collar of my turtleneck and instantly hear an ear-splitting growl that vibrates through my core.

Ashlynn Tylers has always been the rejection. It's all her fault that her parents are dead, and now, people can barely look at her. Her brother can't even be in the same room as her without throwing her out of the room. Her Alpha hates her and blames her too, so there's no help there. She's the pack's human punching bag, and she's not even human, but she's just that weak and pathetic. Ashlynn's coping, though, and she'll cope until she hopefully finds her mate on her 16th birthday. But all her hopes are crushed when it turns out her mate is Xavier, the Alpha's son, who hates her almost as much as her brother. He rejects her, and she does the only thing that she can do. She runs. But 2 years later, Ashlynn's back. She's stronger, prettier, smarter, and if you get on her bad side, she'll kick your ass. Oh, and she's not alone.
