"You smell fishy," Reed growled, looking me up and down with his deep ocean blue eyes, "I don't like that in a mate." My jaw dropped as I stared at my stupid mutt of a soulmate, not wanting to believe Mother Nature had paired me with this overgrown pomeranian. "I'm allergic to fish," he continued running his mouth, distaste clear in his eyes as he looked me up and down, "so you'll have to fix yourself before we can be mates." His friends all started to guffaw amongst themselves, calling out encouraging words to their ringleader which only helped to add fuel to the fire burning inside me. "First of all," I interrupted his friends, smirking when they all fell silent, "You have a foul mouth but I suppose that's to be expected from a mutt. Second of all, fuck you." And with that I flounced off in a flustered manner, wishing I could drown him in the deepest depths of the Pacific Ocean.

After her sea slug of a step mother convinced her father to send her to a boarding school nowhere near a body of water, Harbour decides to raise hell at her new school, hoping to get expelled. What she didn't expect was a certain cocky werewolf to bring her plans to a halt with his charmingly devilish ways. And she certainly didn't expect her step mother to hire a student to assassinate her. With an evil stepmother who wants her dead, a group of drama-loving girls, a hidden schoolmate hired to kill her and a reluctant mate, will Harbour make it through the year?

**shortlisted for Wattys2017** Technically speaking, I died when I was seventeen. What should have been just another typical day out on the water with my friends, turned ugly fast when a freak storm came out of nowhere and I was thrown overboard. Had it not been for my damned dress, I could have swam to safety, but no, every day had to be a fashion show, and my dress got caught on rocks, holding me down until I drowned. I thought right before I died I would at least get to see a montage of my fabulous life, all the parties and romantic dates with my perfect boyfriend, Asher, but nope again. Instead, all I saw was a hideous sea monster smiling to me as my lungs filled with water. When I woke up in a cave in the middle of the ocean, that sea witch made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I could go back to my perfect life, and my adorable boyfriend, all I had to do was give the sea witch two years of my service, and then she'd free me from my fate. It seemed easy enough at the time, but can the price to live actually come at too high of a cost? Highest rank #5 in paranormal
