"Goddammit! You just can't go, and that's final!" Connor yells at me. I clench my fists. "It's a damn vacation, Connor! You can't tell me where to go and what to do!" "You are staying here, period!" "Who do you think you are? You're not my father, or my brother, or my boyfriend!" "No, but I'm your mate!" ~~~~ When Jackie Terrell moves to Pennsylvania, all she wants is for senior year to go by quickly so she can go off to college, away from all the new people. But when she meets a rude and mysterious boy named Connor, things get a little complicated All of a sudden, there's talk of 'mates', 'Alpha's' and 'Luna's'. What's worse is that Jackie may be included in it all. ~~~ Terrible summary, I know! But the story's way better!

"I don't want to exist, I want to live. I want even the darkest pieces inside her. I want to kiss the sorrow off her skin. Isn't that what love is?

I want her to love even the most monstrous parts of me. I want her to love me for the madman I am."
