When a werewolf is rejected by their mate, there are two possible outcomes. First, they could become insane. They lose themselves to the pain and, as a result, lose their humanity. They become a full wolf, a Rogue. Rogues are both pitied and loathed by the werewolf world. They are vicious creatures with no morals and a lust for blood. The second outcome is a slow and painful death. They will suffer 'episodes' that will become more painful as time passes without their mate, until their body gives out and they die. What happens during these 'episodes' varies from werewolf to werewolf. All die within two months. Nealuchi, or Neal, is the exception. Rejected by his mate four years ago, he suffers at least one of his 'episodes' every day and yet he is still alive and still retains his sanity. ----- This story isn't particularly an LGBTQ+ but there is a lesbian couple involved and a lot of my friends are part of the LGBTQ+ community and I support them all. Therefore I've tagged this #WattPride. There's only one part up to now as it's fairly new but a second part is well under way. Hope you enjoy it. 🏳️‍🌈

When Mia and her mate, Jaxon, move to a new town with some pack members to deal with the threat of a rival pack, they don't expect to find anything unusual. But when they uncover a twisted plot that has the potential to change the life of wolves forever, they discover that their destiny is more complicated than they could ever imagine. Their unabiding love for each other makes them strong, but will it be enough to put a stop do the evil that threatens them all?

As a runt, Jade didn't think she'd ever find a pack willing to accept her, even though she has gained an impressive set of skills while surviving in No Man's land. A chance encounter provides the opportunity to prove her worth, but when she arrives, against all odds, she picks up an irresistible scent. Her soulmate. Standing at a crossroads, she must decide if she's willing to grasp at her chance of unconditional love-and risk the heart-rending pain of rejection. As a runt, the odds are not in her favor. -------- On a side note: None of the main characters are mated to an Alpha. No character has 'exclusive' abilities or powers. ----- Excerpt: My steps faltered as I noticed that two of the pursuing wolves had sped ahead and were waiting to intercept me. I launched toward a tree and ricocheted off at a ninety-degree angle without slowing down. One of the wolves behind quickly followed and began closing in. I started to panic, looking around frantically for a way to escape. I saw a rabbit burrow under a small bramble bush and desperately raced towards it. I darted under the edge of the plant and heard the tan wolf go around as he expected me to come out the other side. It gave me the precious seconds I needed to squeeze down the tunnel. My relief was short-lived - the rabbit that dug this burrow had not survived long enough to finish it. The tunnel was only about twice as long as the average human arm, and I could clearly see the entrance. I sent a silent prayer that the bramble bush would deter them and that they would not realize just how shallow this burrow was. I waited anxiously.
