Ariadne has always been self-reliant. Four years ago, she became the leader of a small group of rogues, and her group has slowly grown in number. Now, to be better protected, the pack needs to get its official status, meaning it needs approval from the council. That's difficult enough as it is. However, considering her pack's background, her own past, and the fact that she's a female in a world ruled by men, her task is even more complicated. Then, there's the added bonus of her new mate, Mateus, alpha of the region's warriors. Ariadne isn't one to let some bothersome alpha mess with her life, right? Will she let Mateus in and finally learn she can rely on others, or will she turn him away? How many secrets can she keep before it all comes tumbling down? ~ Completed ~

Voted "Most Likely to Join the Circus" consecutively by Killian High's past three 2009-2011 published yearbooks, and as said by practically every person in the entire school, Derek Wells is the school's ultimate class clown. Seriously, if you're ever in need of a good laugh just go to him and he'll have you clapping your hands and shaking with quiet laughter like some dumb seal. The biggest joke of all to him was love. What was that? It was just some mushy, four-letter word that somehow could make a girl either swoon or cry or slap you in the face depending on the circumstances. So when Derek puts on his newly-acquired glasses for the first time in school, he doesn't expect to see Gwen, one of his closest friends, in a completely different light. Suddenly when she smiles, it feels as if something is crawling around in his stomach and he isn't sure if it's the suspicious crab he had for dinner the night before or gas. When Derek confesses his feelings to her, of course she's going to take it as one big joke. It seems that "the funniest kid in the school" can't say those three words without having someone wait expectantly for the punch line. Will Derek prove to Gwen that he can be serious when he needs to be? Or will she just wind up laughing in his face?
