"When will you accept me?'' Lucian murmured against my skin. The wonderful feeling only grew as he stepped closer, the thick muscles between our layers of clothing pressing against my back. He dipped his head. I could feel his lips against my ear when he spoke. "When, Victoria? I am tired of fighting with you. I know you want me just as much as I want you. Admit it." I couldn't. "Admit it, Victoria!'' Lucian's voice went deep when he raised it. Goosebumps prickled my entire body as he whirled me around so that we were face-to-face. I exhaled softly, hating the dominant position he had over me. Lucian wretched my chin up. His eyes were burning with a lustful smolder. "No." Oh, I would definitely get myself killed tonight. I knew my defiance was angering him further but saying I wanted Lucian would mean I was accepting defeat. And I didn't do that. Love was a game and I was determined to win it.

"Listen,and listen good. I don't want a mate. I never did! So I, Ashton Smith, reject you, Saphira Richards as my mate." Ashton sneered at me in disgust. I felt tears prick my eyes as my heart seemed to shatter into a million pieces. He...rejected me. My wolf howled in pain. "B-But you're my mate, you're suppose to love me no matter what." I stuttered. He narrowed his eyes at me as a look of clear disgust crossed his face. "Well I don't, and I never will, so get over it you Loser." Ashton said. I watched as he turned around and walked away, leaving me alone and empty in the school library. Ashton Smith is a rebellious alphas son who is always partying and getting high, not to mention having a new girl every other night. Saphira Richards is a shy girl with a witty sense of humor only her friends know about. She also happens to be a werewolf. But with a dark past and secrets of her own, can she really handle what fate has thrown her way this time? What happens when paths collide, and total opposites are destined for each other? Will it just be another werewolf thing or something more? *One of my earlier books, so please forgive any mistakes, I was younger and new to writing for an audience.*
