Ashlynn Tylers has always been the rejection.
It's all her fault that her parents are dead, and now, people can barely look at her. Her brother can't even be in the same room as her without throwing her out of the room. Her Alpha hates her and blames her too, so there's no help there. She's the pack's human punching bag, and she's not even human, but she's just that weak and pathetic.
Ashlynn's coping, though, and she'll cope until she hopefully finds her mate on her 16th birthday. But all her hopes are crushed when it turns out her mate is Xavier, the Alpha's son, who hates her almost as much as her brother. He rejects her, and she does the only thing that she can do.
She runs.
But 2 years later, Ashlynn's back. She's stronger, prettier, smarter, and if you get on her bad side, she'll kick your ass.
Oh, and she's not alone.
My mum always used to tell me what it's like to see your mate for the first time. She used to say that at that moment, everything around you stopped, that nothing else mattered.
And nothing else would matter. If it wasn't for the little girl clinging to my leg right now. That little girl that trusts me with her life, that beautiful little girl that made me hold on and not give up on life. That little girl, whose father is standing in front of me right now. He's my mate.
The edges of his lips curve and he looks up and down as if checking me out.
"Long time no see." Are the words that first come out of his mouth that break the silence.

Lexie is an Alpha's daughter. She faces a hard few days and thinks a night at the club will help her get through this. A few drinks won't hurt, right? At least that's what she thinks. Yet that night will change everything sooner than she would ever imagine.
When the next day, her pack gets attacked, everything is chaos. Her mother and father are killed and her world shatters. She's forced to run away and leave everyone that she still has left behind. She thinks she has no one... that's until she finds out about another heartbeat in her body.
Raising a baby on your own is hard enough. After a few years she finally meets her mate though and it turns out she knows him after all. How will she confess that her mate is actually her daughter's father? What will happen now?
We don't live in a fairy tale where every story has a happy ending though. Real world isn't that easy...if you can call a world full of mystical creatures very real.
