For a teenager, moving to a new town before their last year of high school is the ultimate 'worst case' scenario. Such is the situation with Joshlyn Blush who moves away to a new town with her overprotective step brother after a series of events takes place prior. Now trying for a fresh start at a new life, Joshlyn still seems to struggle with the idea of trust and is unable to let go of the traumatic life she lived previously. But someone is determined to change all of that, and that someone comes in the form of Roman Knight: bad boy extraordinaire with an immediate attraction and desire for the young and mysterious girl with the enticing pink hair. Not a story filled with 'once upon a times' and 'happily ever afters', this is a story about lies, trust, deception, faith, betrayal, love, hatred, obsession and the slightest glimmer of hope that resides even in the darkest of hours. ---------------------- MATURE: for suggestive themes, strong language, violence and sexual content.

It is well known that death exists in the world, though no one really ever believes the personified version. Old lore tells of one known as the Grim Reaper; and those that do believe take him to be a malevolent spirit or demon. Neither of which is true, of course. But the existence of Death is very much real, just not as many would expect or could possibly even imagine. The one who goes by several names: The Grim Reaper, the Fourth Horseman, Death; is, to put simply, the Ruler. Under him there are several other reapers in existence and their numbers lie in the thousands. They travel around the world, guiding wandering spirits to the other side, and granting them passage in order to prevent them from becoming vengeful spirits. And unlike the lore, they aren't as otherworldly as they appear to be. Some, even manage to live among the living without any suspicion. They can venture back and forth between the World of the Living and the Realm of the Dead. But despite popular belief reapers aren't just born... they are casted. Reapers are often humans that have made a deal with Death; the deal being an act of selflessness. But the more they live as reapers, the more they forget about their time as a human. But they aren't unsympathetic. Some may come off as cruel or insensitive, but others still try to preserve their humanity. Kass, a relatively new reaper, is an example of this. Having been a reaper for only twenty years, and despite having no recollection of how she came to be a reaper, Kass still longs to cling on to the little humanity she has left and on occasion finds herself traveling through the World of the Living, hoping to regain the pieces of her mysteriously fleeting memories. Upon doing so, she finds herself an unexpected admirer who unbeknownst to her, has been watching her for several months as she frequents her favorite spot on a lonely bench overlooking a river in a small town that seems much too familiar.

Victoria "Tori" Blanchard lives a seemingly perfect life thanks to the efforts of her loving father and overprotective older brother. She couldn't be more content with how things are going, but her life does tend to border on the edge of mundane and uneventful. It's mainly because of said overprotective older brother that Tori is sheltered from all the excitement the world has to offer. Sure he's keeping her safe and protecting her from harm, but he's also preventing her from enjoying her life the only way it should be enjoyed; by living it. But now with Tori starting her freshman year of college, it only makes sense that it could all change in the form of Dean Valentine. ---------------------- MATURE: for suggestive themes, strong language, violence and sexual content.

Maybe she was naive to think she would be able to make all of her dreams comes true upon leaving her hometown behind. Too young, too naive and too freaking stupid. Real-life beyond the sheltered small town she lived in was hard and demanding. It took and it took and it drained her of the optimism she held for so long from the lies they fed her in school. She fought with her parents the days leading up to her departure. She told them she'd prove them wrong and make something of herself. Oh, and she made something of herself alright. It had been a little over three years and the only thing she had to show for herself was her crappy apartment, shitty car and her less-than-glamorous career in being an erotic dancer in one of Miami's most exclusive clubs tailored to the elites. Sure she made good money, but the rent in Miami wasn't cheap. Neither was food or the classes she was taking in the nearby community college. She had to provide for herself and that meant looking out for number one. But when crap in her life goes from bad to worse, she's left with only one option and it involves one of the club's most mysterious clients: a young and wealthy businessman who frequents the club, specifically staying until her set is complete. Could what he has to offer be the answer to her prayers, or will it bring more misfortune than she's ready to handle? ++++++ Milestones

Alpha and Omega. The beginning and the end. Or in wolf ideology, the strongest and the weakest. The Alpha will never socialize with the Omega. Never will the two ever interact. The Omega is nothing but a nuisance - the packs weakest link waiting to be left behind to die the moment they become a liability. They are a hindrance to the pack and as such are treated in a way that reflects their lowest of low ranks. Quinn is the Southern Sun Tribe's Omega, her weak and frail nature often the target of ridicule at the hands of her own pack members. With no mate, Quinn lives alone quietly enduring torment for as long as she could remember. Living a lonely life, Quinn is finally ready to give up and die with no reason to hold on and continue to struggle with nothing to show for. But on the day that Quinn is ready to give it all up, her inner wolf cries out - the heat in her veins igniting her like an unbearable inferno, only to have it quickly doused by a painful rejection that leaves her broken. Victor is the Southern Sun Tribe's Alpha, and exactly what you would expect of someone with the highest rank and honor in the pack. Strong, powerful, attractive and respected, he has all of the characteristics to make him the greatest Alpha in the tribe to date. Since he was born, Victor was told stories of the Moon Goddess and the mates fated to them. Since then all he ever wanted to do was find her; the woman he could finally call his - his Queen. But he soon comes to discover that not everything is as simple as what is described in those tales. His pride doesn't allow him to accept his mate as he values his status as the pack's leader over his own destined soulmate.
