My name is Riley. I'm dead. *•*•* Few people don't know of death, and even fewer don't fear it. The concept of being erased, removed, taken from your own body terrifies people and for good reason. But what really happens? Enter Death. Yes, Death, as in the terrifying concept of being basically killed, that Death. Very seldom know that Death is actually a person. And He is a complete ass. Or so they say. Anyway, Death is a gambler. He loves winning, despises losing. Loves Poker, hates Texas Hold'em. Riley is a 21 year old girl who died in a bus crash. She hates losing too, however she hates dying more. So, she decides to take Death up on his offer of betting her life. She wins she lives, she loses she dies. I wonder what happens. *•*•* Dice will roll in this Death-defying tale of love, lose, and the risks of gambling more than just chips...

Her family has moved from the warmth of Florida to the dark dreariness of Washington, she is now apart of a bigger pack-one which she doesn't want to join-and, she can't seem to find her mate no matter how hard she looks. Oh, did I also mention the fact that she found out it just so happens that the next-in-line Alpha will be going to the same schools as her? Fantastic. Throw in a scary rumor about the mark of the moon, and it's pretty obvious this is going to be one hell of a year. Will Jade make it out of her junior year alive or will something or someone make things much, much too complicated to survive?

Holding my breath I waited for his response. He turned, his shoulders moving only slightly, and smirked. "I think I love you." ------------ Lila is a girl.

'Ice specks flew up in the air like dancers jumping across a stage. He was exactly what she needed.' ~~~~ Claire's pissed. She's been told she to strong to skate singles and will have to either skate pairs or sit out the season. She's obviously NOT going to sit out the season so her only option is to skate pairs.
