But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. A soul mate's purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so a new light can get in, and make you out of control that you have to transform your life." ― Elizabeth Gilbert Happiness and a soul mate. Two very important gifts a wolf wants and needs, but have to earn in order to get them. Layla, a seventeen year old werewolf with an incredible life. Being captain of her varsity softball team, having "loyal" friends, and amazing support, life couldn't be any better, until one decision strips her away from her happiness.The last thing on Layla's mind is to find her mate, but everyone she trust soon betrays her, starting with her parents. Xavier, King of ALL werewolves. He's possessive, protective and controlling, yet sweet and caring. Xavier had his life hard. Staring from watching his family being murdered by vicious rouges at age nine, then being raised by his cold-hearted uncle, life wasn't always fair for Xavier. Until, he meets his mate, the one he's been waiting to meet his whole life.

"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.
