A mind broken in ways only she knows. The world sees her as a closed book, but only a few have glimpsed the cracks behind her innocent smile. Her past is a shadow that haunts her every move. An unsettling loss, a family fractured beyond repair. People disgust her, but there's one who stands out: a charming, dangerous man who might just be the one to pull her in. 𝐗𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐨.

Xavier has a past he's kept hidden, and Olive is about to learn the hard way that nothing is ever as it seems. Trust is a fragile thing, and once it's broken, there's no way to put it back together.

"I will make sure he never lays a hand on you again." I look up and Hunter is heaving. "Why do you want me to stay? I forgave you, it's not like you could hang out with me at school, and you only care about me now. But what happens when the pack doesn't like me or when something does happen to someone? What then." "You wont understand right now." "I highly doubt that. Why are you so bent on me staying here?" Before I know it Hunter brings my face to his and his lips are crashing on mine. ----------------------- Hunter Rodes: 18, popular Quarter back of the football team and Weston high, next in line for alpha in a few years, and of course, is a werewolf. Triston Walker: 18, shy, on soccer team and side liner for everything else at Weston high. When Triston comes to school, it's the same Routine, go to the lockers, get punched down, go cover it with make up so no one asks questions, get to class, get to practice, go home, eat food and get beat by the drunk father. Get homework done, go to bed hoping he'll make it one more day. But when the bullied is Hunters mate, it's a whole new world for Triston.

The man looked me up and down, his red eyes staring through me."You... Are a werewolf." "So I've noticed" The man scowled, his lips pulling back revealing the sharp fangs nestled between his teeth. I stepped back, startled by the sudden conclusion that formed in my head. Vampire. "Thank you for the clarification, wolf. But I don't need a 'mate.' Especially not a werewolf one." My fear disappeared, and I frowned, anger filling my mind. "What's wrong with being a werewolf, Dracula?" The man turned, marching towards me until we were face to face. My heart skipped a beat as he glared at me, both fear and lust being the cause. "Let me make one thing clear. We are not mates, and never will be. Vampires are a highly respected society, and a proud people. I will not stoop so low as to 'mate' with a stupid wolf, just because he says we're 'destined to.' Let alone a male wolf." With that, he disappeared into the woods, leaving me alone.
