Well-protected, she has no idea of the darkness surrounding Xavier Hunt, with his all-black attire and infrequent presence in school-accompanied by his bruises and scars. That is, until Haley catches a glimpse of Xavier's reality and is made to question everything she knows about family and life in general. The truth, she realizes, couldn't be more different from everything she has heard. Supported by her father, Haley sets her mind on helping Xavier any way she can, and what begins with tutoring sessions, free food, and random acts of kindness blooms into friendship and something a little more. But when Haley's admission into her dream college and another tragedy in Xavier's life threaten to undo everything she has worked for, Haley needs to decide if she'll stick by Xavier or simply be another person in his life that disappears.

Highest Rating: #5 in Lunas Giselle had little knowledge of anything besides her small village life with her Dad. She remembers how he would speak of a time long ago, when humans dominated the world. Disease and famine had fought against them and now humans were few and far between. Each human settlement was smaller than the last and the time of new technology was long forgotten. They were deep within the woods, where beasts of legend were said to dwell. How naive they were to think that another species wouldn't take their place in the world. After a war between packs spills into her life, everything she has ever known is thrown off balance. Her Dad dies in her arms after she witnesses them, the beasts masquerading as people. Their bodies morphing into shapes she'd never seen as they ripped her apart everything she had ever known. A beast captures and imprisons her after shaking the core of her reality. After months alone in the cells she's finally brought forward to meet their leader. The Alpha, their king, and he also happens to be her soul mate. What secrets will she uncover about her past? What choices will she face that will influence not just her own future, but the future of thousands?
