"Why don't you pay attention?" Really? "Listen here ass wipe, I'm not the one who isn't paying attention. Take a good look at the crowd and figure out how to avoid all of that chaos before snapping at me." Her pale grey eyes looked up to the excessively tall male once she was sure of her footing. But what she found, caused her heart to skip a beat. He was dark and intimidating. Short espresso brown hair framed amber colored eyes which held so much anger. Two scars ran across his nose and left cheek. One, caught the corner of his lips making it appear to be permanently pulled into a snarl. The effect was a wild mix of pure danger and morbid beauty. Her inner wolf purred as she observed the new stranger, her unexpected mate. Then she watched as his eyes traveled over every inch of her. She cringed at what she knew he would see. She was short, barely over a meter and a half tall. She wore a simple black dress which didn't fit her right, and the silk scarf meant to hide more. It wasn't enough. He was a male of power. She was an omega. The two never mixed. ***** Life has a way of shanking you when you least expect it. Well, it's certainly true for Nadine. One random meeting throws her off her carefully constructed control. One lapse in behavior leads to a cascade of events, turning her life upside down. With no where else to hide, her dark secrets must come to light. However, none of it helps her keep her feet under her. Worse, the avalanche buries her in uncertainty. What is she to do with an angry and powerful wolf who doesn't want her as a mate? How will she fight the shadows of the past as they try to destroy everyone and everything she has left to care about? She's heard it before: What doesn't kill you... well, you know. ***** Warnings: This story does contain intense topics of kidnapping, sex, rape, suicide, violence and language.
