When Rebecca moves back to her hometown for a friend's wedding, unfortunate circumstances put her near her ex-boyfriend, who left her completely broken. But her return seems to be more dangerous than she bargained for, and she searches for answers that were left unsaid. *** Becca Bradly didn't know what she was expecting when she was asked to be the maid-of-honor for her best friend's wedding. She lives in LA and has a decent life after successfully acting in a recently released movie. But she definitely didn't plan to go back to her hometown. The place she hasn't visited in five years. And the place where her broken heart still lays, shattered from her one and only ex-boyfriend. Michael Campbell was once someone people could rely on, but right before their senior graduation, that all changed, and when Becca finds herself returning home, she sees a completely different man in his place. Cold, detached and heartless, Becca finds herself constantly surrounded by the man she is supposed to hate most. And even though it's hard to ignore him when he's part of the wedding party, it's harder to do so when she realizes that the secrets he's been keeping all these years, start unravelling. The truth, however, was something she least expected, and now she has to fight for her life and the people she loves most.

Alpha Cross of the Macabre Pack was a ruthless killer. He was known for leaving pack after pack in a bloodbath with not a single survivor in sight. A cold blooded killer with no feelings of remorse, pity, or grief whatsoever, Alpha Cross is someone no woman could ever hope to love... But of course, like all werewolves, he was destined to have a mate. Elair Richelieu, daughter of the beloved Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack is a fierce woman. Shrouded in mystery, Elair has survived the worst of the worst, most of which she cannot remember. Convinced by her duties Elair lived as a leader to her pack and her squadron, a mysterious group in which she grew up. But Fate had other plans... They were each others' mates. But there was one little issue... Elair can't feel their bond. Together, the two struggle in a relationship in which dominance is a power struggle. ****** The Alpha walks towards me and I raise an eyebrow. When he gets to point where our distance reduced to about half a meter in front of me I drop from the desk and stand up. "Whoa, there cowboy." I say as I hold my hands up. My jaw drops when I realize what he's actually trying to say. "Hold up. Are you saying I'm your mate? Because, well, I don't... uh... How do I put this simply... I don't feel you... Bro." I say as I dodge him and his disgusting stalker-ish approach of walking towards me. "You seem to think that you have a choice." The Alpha says to me with a smirk and I roll my eyes. "And you seem to think I give a shït." ------ Highest Ranking: #1 Werewolf Warning: This is INCOMPLETE. After its publication in 2016 the last ELEVEN chapters were taken down due to copyright.
