When Shay Ryder is chosen to be one of only twenty-five girls who were hand-picked by the Prince himself to be part of 'The Ringing' - a competition held to become the next princess of the Royal family - you would think that she would be excited; who wouldn't want to be the next Queen of werewolves? Shay wouldn't, that's who! She's happy with the life she had at home with her family and friends and doesn't want anything to do with being part of The Ringing; to her it's a downright disturbing concept, a bunch women fighting to win the heart of one man. Unfortunately for her participating in The Ringing is not optional, its mandatory; that being said she soon finds herself on her way to the Royal lands and stuck in a house full of Alpha females who all have one goal in mind 'win the heart of the Prince' well, everyone but her, that is. Cale Reyes is the eldest son of the Royal family and is about to embark on a rollercoaster ride of emotions; being the future King it's of the upmost importance that he chooses the right female during The Ringing to stand at his side to be the future Queen. You would think that the decision would be easy; just find the woman that he is most compatible with and has the potential to be a great Queen, but he soon learns that things aren't quite as simple as he thought they would be. Between trying to get to know a group of women within a limited amount of time and fighting with himself on what to do with a certain 'stubborn girl' he finds his decisions getting harder and harder as the weeks go on; as if that wasn't enough to deal with, he also has the conflicting opinions of his two brothers weighing on his shoulders when it comes to a certain someone.

"Don't hide from me love" his dangerous but yet beautiful voice commands. Being the obeying person I've always been I step out from behind the tree, my eyes not leaving the green grass under my filthy feet, I was shaking, and scared. I didn't know what this gorgeous man wanted from me, me of all people. I felt his hand stroke my cheek making my whole body shiver with pleasure, the feeling I have never felt before in my life. He forced me to look at him as he put his finger under my chin, lightly lifting it. Our eyes lock and for the first time in my four life's I felt safe, and for the first time I knew what that word ment. His eyes where icey blue, the most captivating things I have ever seen. "Mine" He growled and that's when I snapped out of our special moment, as long as he was with me his life was in danger, why did he have to be the one I needed to spend the rest of my life with? I don't want him to get hurt, I don't want him to regret finding me, why couldn't he just let me go? Why couldn't he just let me run? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Its easy to say that your not afraid, but it's difficult to tell people how you really feel. How you get threatened and abused, tortured and killed, coming back to life over and over again, just to be in the same prison you've been in your past life. And even if she has lived and died almost four times, Jasmine Colt is still the same person. Since she was six in her first life she was locked up because of her ability to be reborn. She has her memories of her past life's which she wishes to forget, finally escaping the prison of her father and step mother she runs away only to run into someone who claims to be her mate. {I will be updating weekly}

CAUTION CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT. "Say it, Allison," he said, his voice low as he trapped me against the rough wall. A shiver ran down my spine, his voice pulling at me, the power in it making me want to do anything he asked. I shook my head, afraid my voice might betray me. His teeth lightly grazed my neck causing a sigh to get past my lips. I could feel him smile against my skin. He knew he was going to get what he wanted one way or another. I tried to slip away, but he grabbed my wrists, pinning them down tightly. He pressed his hard body against me. I was aware of every inch of him that was touching me. "Don't think you can just leave. We're not done yet." My stomach tightened at his words, the desire inside burning for him. My damn body at war with my mind yet again. He slid his hand up to the edge of my shorts, slowly working it's way up as his mouth trailed small nips from my neck to my collar bone and lower, stopping only when he reached the fabric. I could feel my resolve weakening as his hand reached its destination. "Say it," he demanded. I moaned, my head tipping back as he moved expertly. I wanted to say it then, I really did. But if I said the words, there was no going back. ***************** Allison Cole has just turned seventeen. Most girls would be excited, but she doesn't see it as anything special. She can now find her mate, wherever he is. But she doesn't put much stock in mates or true love. How could something like that be predetermined? Things only go from bad to worse when on that very day she discovers who her mate actually is. Will Allison be able to overcome her bleak thoughts about mates and accept hers? Or is the man bad enough to make her run away? Caught between her body, her mind, and what's best for her pack. Allison must make her decision. Is it worth it?

"I don't want you to mark me" I said quickly. "Why?" he asked me, his tone seemed calm but i knew he was far from it. "I have a commitment towards my pack" I told him, hoping he'll understand but to my astonishment his eyes were dark now and he held his palms in a tight fist. "You are my mate Templar, you belong to my pack" he said in a condescending tone. My blood boiled at the tone he was using with me. Nobody talks to me like that. Nobody. "Do not use that tone with me, Everett. You are not my Alpha, I respond to-" none, i was about to say, but had to bite my tongue to change that. I was not ready to tell him that I'm the sole White Shifter, not ready to tell him I'm The Alpha of my pack. So i lied, again.
