He lit his cigarette, I lit nothing. He drank alcohol, I drank water. He smirked, I smiled. He didn't love me, I didn't love him. He and I together wouldn't last a day. And then the game started... He said he found me intriguing, unique, and interesting because I didn't swoon over him. "You and me Grey, let's play a game. We'll date and in three months time I promise you will fall for me. When you fall in love with me between that time span, I win. If in any way you were to win I'll give up all the alcohol, cigarettes, and player ways." It was a game I wasn't willing to lose, but all games had accidents and consequences. It takes a broken heart to know how to break a heart.

**SAMPLE ONLY** Previously known as His Queen. Highest ranking : #1 in Werewolf (26/12/2015) Note : Please refer inside for the full summary. ❝Every king needs his queen.❞ Every pack has its own tradition. For the Golden Moon pack, it is no different either. Every year, every unmated male werewolf would travel around the world in order to find their other half; their soulmates. All, except for Darius King. As the 'heartless' Alpha of the Golden Moon and the blood Alpha, his is the only name that sends shivers down his enemies' spines whenever they thought about him. In his opinion, the tradition is nothing but a perfect opportunity for other packs to attack his while most of the male wolves are not around, or so he reckons. Little did he know that his decision would lead him to his mate who crashed into his territory; literally. ♛ Please do not leave any hate/self-promoting comments! Thank you! (:

Jason Grimwald is different. He's dark, gloomy, and scary. All his life he's isolated himself from everyone except his little brother, Mason and his guardian, Uncle Harry. You see, if you had what Jason has, you'd do the same thing. But when you isolate yourself, people notice you. They notice how weird you are, and how psycho you seem, and they give you funny nicknames like Grimm because you remind then of the Grim Reaper. They don't know your story so they'll make one up, they won't bother trying to understand you because what's the point? Eventually they go away, they all do. They all stop wondering and eventually, they give up. Well, all but one. Meet Donna Shapiro, a quiet and smart individual. Ever since elementary school, everyone, and especially boys, loved her. Almost everyone wanted to be her friend but she hated that. She preferred being alone, writing, listening to music, reading, and wondering about Jason.

Of course she was always to shy to make the first move, until now. Usually Jason ignored whenever people interacted with him, but this time it was different, she's different. The moment the two of them become involved, BOTH their worlds are turned upside down.

I glared up at him my eyes narrowed, "Excuse me?" I was beyond livid by the words that just came out of his mouth. My glare didn't falter when Parker towered over me, clenching his jaw while trapping me against his desk. "You heard me." Parker's voice was low and intimidating that it made me feel so small. But I wasn't going to let him get to me. Standing up taller, I snapped, "I will not be your personal toy, available for you to do just as you please! I do not want to be held captive against my will, and not even have a say in anything. To be honest, I don't even want a mate." "You will do everything and anything I say, do you hear me?"
