"Stop. Stop, please." I sob as the whip comes down on my back once more. "Shut up yo-" my tormentor's words are cut off by a ferocious growl. I sense another masculine figure in the dark room, but can't make out a word he's shouting. The burning and searing pain that I'm experiencing is just too much. A sickening snap is heard and something drops onto the cold, stone flooring. The chains around my wrists and ankles are broken along with the tight metal collar around my neck. "Mate." my rescuer growls, gently cradling me in his arms. ********************* Charlotte Beck has been tortured and abused by the Red Stone pack ever since she turned eight. She doesn't know why they hate her or how she ended up a lower rank than the Omegas; no one even bothered to label her as a slave. She has never known the true meaning of love or how it felt like, all Charlotte knows is that her pack surely doesn't feel that way about her. Finding a mate was a dream that was thrown out the window long ago; all of the verbal abuse led her to believe that she didn't deserve one. It's not until she attempts to escape again that she realizes that she has a chance of living a better life, one where abuse isn't an everyday thing. Xander Reynolds, Alpha of the Lunar Shadow pack, finds her when she's taken to his cells as a trespassing prisoner. Known as the strongest Alpha in the continent, he does everything he can to protect his mate. The only problem is that she's too emotionally scarred to allow him to. His dark and violent reputation is the only thing that Charlotte knows about him. The memories of their childhood together beaten out of her mind. Traumatized and high on fear, she struggles to let down her walls. Her real home is with a man who she cannot remember and a brother who she wishes she remembered. Can Xander get his mate to love him? Or will Charlotte let her past keep them apart?

"What are you doing out here?" The young Alpha asked me, his forest green eyes full of concern. "Running." I answered simply. And it was true, I was running. Running from the mate that rejected me. I couldn't stay in my pack anymore. I just couldn't. "From what?" He crouched so that our eyes could be leveled. He seemed to be sincerely concerned. "Everything." Everything at my old pack was a reminder of what I could have had. "Why?" He tilted his head, interested. "My mate rejected me." As I said the words my heart seemed to shatter once again and since I wasn't numb with shock anymore I could really feel it. I tried so hard to hold in my tears but one escaped and slide down my cheek. This is why He rejected me. I was weak and pathetic. I would have been a horrible Luna. I looked up and saw that his face was filled with understanding and sadness. "I understand how you feel." He said softly catching the tear that managed to get out with his finger. I laughed humorlessly. "No you don't. How could you?" He was just trying to make me feel better and as sweet as that was it wasn't helping because he really did not know the pain I was going through right now. He stood and offered me a helping hand. "My mate rejected me too."

Slowly updating the rewritten version **** "Do it for your mate." He came and kneeled on the floor and looked in her eyes with pain. "Do it for him. He wouldn't like to see you like this. He would want you to be normal. To be your old self. Old Ariel would never give up on herself. She would never sit and wait for death. She would live her life to the fullest and face death head on when the time comes. She would fight. She would stand straight. She would be stubborn. She would never give up on herself, she would never give up on her wolf, she would never give up on life but most of all she would never give up on her pack. Her Alpha stubbornness wouldn't let her." "You think I can do it?" She asked him looking in his eyes. "Yes." He said without hesitation. "Really?" "Really."
