"Oomph!" The sound rushed out of my mouth as the door opened before I could reach the handle and my body hit a wall. I took a step back and realized that it wasn't in fact a wall, but instead a very attractive male. I looked up at his head to see a very messy, but sexy, mop of black hair on top of his head. When I looked closer, I noticed that his hair was a very deep brown that was probably often mistaken for black. My gaze traveled downward to his eyes, where I found two deep, ocean blue eyes looking back at me. My gaze travelled farther down to his crooked nose, to which I assumed came from too many fights. My eyes finally found his pink, very plump lips, which were turned into a sneer. "You have got to be kidding me!" His pink lips said in a very offensive voice. My eyes turned questioning as I looked back up into his eyes. "Whatever, lets finish this. I, Ashton Carter, reject you, as my mate." He, or Ashton, said with venom lacing his voice. He quickly turned and walked down the now vacant hallway with no glance back. Rejection? On my first day? The first person I make eye contact with at this school, rejects me. I guess that's how this school works, if the hottest boy in school rejects you, you're a nobody. So much for making friends, or mates, or whatever they call people at this school. I shake those ocean blue eyes out of my head and continue into the office to start my new life.

Alexandria was on her own when her parents died, but thankfully she was taken in. She thought she was like the others growing up, but the only problem she had was that she didn't shift when everyone else did. When she does though, everyone finds out that she is not what they thought she was. She was a black leopard, possibly the last one left. Not being able to accept her for who she is, they exile her from the pride. She is once again on her own, how will she survive this time? (Cover by xxdrkluvxx)

**Mature Audiences Only** “Okay, she’s gone, he’s gone…now I want to have fun,” Kale said, a note of finality in his voice. Sam laughed at him and got off his lap, sitting in the seat right next to him. “Poor baby…are you going through withdrawals?” Kale narrowed his eyebrows as he said, “Damn right I am. I’m addicted.” He stood up and grabbed her hand. “Now come with me so I can feed the addiction.” “Kale, look around. No one’s here. Let’s have fun right now,” she said, halting his advance to their room. She yanked her arm away from him, turned him around and sank to her knees. “How about a little show of what’s to come?” * Sam and Kale are mates. Have been for two years. This is their story. Enjoy!
