❝Let's be more acceptable. Let's not judge a short dress. Let's not judge a lot of makeup. Let's not judge liking sex. Let's not judge her choosing herself over her kids/husband. Let's make it okay to love yourself. At this moment, I can just hope and pray, and do my bit. But I am hopeful. I hope society changed and we didn't end up breaking the branch we've been sitting on.❞ These are a hundred letters to my older self, because if I can do it now, I'll do it then. The only thing I need in it, is myself.

Wren Martin is socially awkward. She blocks off herself to the world, hiding behind her favorite hoodie.

When a field injury kickstarts his senior year, heʼs turning his free time and attention to Wren. And maybe she might not want to be invisible after all. ***** [Watty's Collector's Edition Winner] [TFA Runaway Prize Winner] [[word count: 150,000-200,000 words]] Cover designed by Ashley Santoro

#1 werewolf #1 teenfiction "That night meant nothing to me Olivia." "You were just like another girl to me." He smirked, "and you KNOW how I do girls. I lure them," he took a crumpled paper in his hands and softly straightened it, "I fuck them. HARD." He tore the paper off in pieces, "and then, I throw them out of my life," he concluded, crushing the paper into a ball and throwing it with a perfect shot in the bin. I looked up at him in shock, anger and heartbreak. "You actually thought I got jealous!" He scoffed. Out of nowhere he threw me against the wall and I gasped as his arm pressed by my sides and he trapped me. "ALSO, DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME YOUR MATE AGAIN!" he growled, I breathed heavily as fear started crawling in. Tears flowed down my face. I struggled to breathe. "I NEVER wanted a mate. Especially not like you." He gave me a glare as if the mere sight of me disgusted him. "Who would want a mate like you anyways, huh? You're ugly, nerdy, clingy, way-too-innocent and being with you will DESTROY my social reputation." Listening to those words shattered my Wolf and she howled in pain. I gasped, trying to get some air but he pressed me against the wall harder. "Look at you," he chuckled, "So pathetic. You're not even able to defend yourself. Moon goddess made a mistake mating you with me. I will correct it ." "I won't reject you," he said, "oh no no. Rejection is easy. I will TORTURE you. I will sleep with other girls, I will flirt with them in front of your eyes and I will watch you and your wolf die everyday. I will break you to the limit where you won't ever be able to come back. And then, I will leave you to rot." "One last thing. Don't you DARE tell anyone that we are mates. Are we clear?" I nodded frantically, my heart clenching till where it was unbearable. He let out a dark chuckle and released me,"Good girl." I collapsed on the floor and almost passed out from the lack of air in my lungs. He just walked away & left me there to rot.

SEQUEL TO:- "THE BETA'S UNWANTED MATE CANNOT be read as a stand alone. You have to have read THE BETA'S UNWANTED MATE including chapters 2.00, 2.01, 2.03 and 2.04 (that are within the same book). --- "I can't believe you could do this to me," he said, shaking his head, his eyes filled with so many emotions that made my heart squeeze with pain and agony. "How could you..." he whispered, "After all those years I looked for my mate. After all those years I fought with the world for you..." His eyes were filling up with tears and by this point, I was in so much of pain that someone could claw my heart out of my chest, and I won't feel it. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to..." I pleaded, my voice showing my desperation and my actions expressing how sorry I was. "You're not sorry. You probably still don't believe me," he said, shaking his head, looking away from me. "I trust you." I said, softly. Moving towards him. "But you're still with her too." He said, his voice turning dark and bitter. "You can't have it both way, Rosalita. It's either her or me." "But-" I started, but he cut me off. "No." He said, "I don't want any excuses." "She lies to you, Rosalita. Don't you see? She used you. She played with your feelings." He said, provoking me, in a loud voice. A chill ran down my spine and a bitter feeling filled my heart as I heard his words. I didn't need a reminder. "She's still my friend though." I said, sounding weak to my own ears. But I couldn't leave her. Especially not at this point. He sighed, tired of me. "Look, I don't know what to say, I don't know what to do if you have decided to act blind like this. I didn't want to do this ..but now I'll have to," he looked at me in my eyes with an icy expression. "Do you want me to forgive you?" He asked. "Of course." I answered, in a heartbeat. "Alright, then prove me that you are with me and not with her anymore. Kill my biggest enemy Olivia Hart for me."
