Until, that is, he is forced to take on a wife - one who fights him at every turn. TW: Contains violence, assault, depression, and covers the topic of suicide. COMPLETED / BEING EDITED

I flinch as his hand reaches to my face, and aggressively pulls down the cloak from my head. He surveys my tear stained face and jewelry all the way down to my dress. Then he speaks, "what's your name?" I open my mouth but no words come out. Fear grips me again. "I believe I asked you a question," his eyes grow darker. "Al-Alice" I whisper. His eyes wander outside to the window. "You will address me as 'your highness' and I do not tolerate mistakes. I will punish you and you will never forget to follow my orders. Do I make myself clear?" -------------------- In this world everybody has a soulmate. Two people that are meant to be together for the rest of their lives.

'So,' I started, unsure of how to approach this new Colby. 'Are you letting me go?' 'No,' he growled and I watched as his eyes darkened, but they didn't turn charcoal and I could tell he was more in control than he ever had been before. 'You can never leave.' 'Then what has changed?' 'I have, or I will. I need to, for you.' He answered firmly and I eyed him sceptically. 'I don't believe you,' I answered quickly, risking another step away from him. I saw him tense but he remained seated on the bed. 'I don't deserve your trust, I know, but I am going to earn it Leora.' 'How, after everything you've done, after everything you've done to me? How can you believe that I will ever forgive you?' 'Because you are my mate and you were destined for me. By some miracle, you have been chosen for me.' ⌘ Trouble. It seemed to follow Leora, no matter where she ran. In every place, she sought refuge she found darkness, danger and deceit. However, there was great power lurking within and if she was strong enough she just might be their salvation. First, she needed to escape the prison she had been mistakenly condemned to by the fates. A prison made by an alpha of myth and legend. She had heard the stories meant to strike fear into the hearts and minds of the werewolf children. The tales of an alpha with a soul so dark the moon goddess had refused to give him a mate, but they were only stories. But what happens when she escapes only to land herself in the hands of another mate?

Life has been difficult for Rebecca and other humans every since the werewolves took over. She has to abide by their strict rules and it is almost against Rebecca's nature to do so. But for the sake of her family, she does. When life seemed as if it couldn't get anymore difficult, The Alpha who has made life a living hell for the humans, visits town. Things turn from bad to worse for Rebecca when he claims she is his Mate. (P.S. I wrote this book when I was sixteen years old. The way I wrote then, and the way I write now, is different.
