Grace Hastings' life is lonely as she moves between foster homes with no siblings or family to keep her afloat.

But when she moves to a small town in Alaska, the change she has been waiting for chances fate. 

She meets new faces and is haunted by old ones as she finds friends - or indeed a pack - who protect her without question.

Although Grace is confused by two mysterious people;

1) Ethan, the gang's leader who is secretly protective of her and never wants her to be involved.

2) The mysterious boy she runs into every night. He never shows his face, just hides behind a hood with only his golden eyes glowing in the night.

Ethan teases her and only shows his hatred as he watches her from afar. Mystery boy is kind, listens to her and is somehow always there for her.

He knows things about her. Things no one knows.

It's like he waits under the spotlight of the moon by the grey tarmac road every night, waiting for Grace to walk silently by.

But Grace has problems behind the scenes. Ones which she would happily live without.

She is preoccupied with her new foster parents who are never there, her foster sister, Maggie, who is only the shell of a girl once happy but now tortured with scares and cigarette poison.

With fires, nightmares, surprises and secret identities will there be time for her to solve the puzzle to unlock the mystery boy she can't get her head around? 

Or maybe she knows him more than she thinks.

"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body. His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans. My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape. "You drive me fucking crazy, Aria." ---------------------------- Aria Bailey finds it hard to fit in. Her parents are always busy and never have time for her.

The Other Guy (BoyxBoy) ✔️ by geekiechicforall13
21 parts Complete Mature
"I walked over to where Aaron was sitting on the ground, kneeling so that I was face-to-face with him. He was wearing a blank expression on his face so I guess he didn't really care if I kissed him or not. I took in a deep breath before taking his face in both of my hands and swooping down to kiss him. At first, I was so nervous I didn't realize that we were already kissing but after a few moments, I realized how soft his lips felt on my own. Before I can register it I felt him moving against me. I would have gotten off of him but I realize that he wasn't moving to get away from me. No, He was moving his lips against mine." °°°°° Aiden Moore isn't extraordinary. He has average looks, he is OK with sports, and his only strong point is that he is smart (although that doesn't mean much to his fellow classmates). And, of course, his virgin ass has never had a girlfriend, let alone a crush. It seemed as if he would never find someone. That was until he met her, Scarlett Hale. She was the most beautiful girl you will ever meet. Kind, sweet, and one of the few people with a higher GPA then him, she was amazing and Aiden imagined that she would be all his. Once Aiden gets rid of her boyfriend, Aaron Tyler. The most annoying guy you will ever meet, Aiden gags just thinking about him. The man is smoking hot and makes Aiden's dreams of getting the girl to seem very impossible. So what would happen if Aiden gets involved with the wrong person? Will Aiden get the girl? Will he fall short? Or will he fall into the arms of a guy who is in love with the girl he loves? _______________________________________ WARNING: First book EVER! The best part about this book is that it has some funny bits and introduces you to characters I use for a while. But, if you don't like the writing, please consider one of my newer works 😊 Started: May 10, 2016 Completed: September 2016

Dawn, on the other hand, is a tall, introverted mechanic who prefers working on cars in the garage. He is more reserved, keeping his emotions hidden beneath his black hoodie and tough exterior. The two boys meet through Dawn's sister, Ella, who is best friends with Dusk. As they start spending more time together, casual conversations in the garage evolve into deeper, more personal talks. Dusk opens up about his aspirations, and Dawn reveals the weight of his family's expectations.

Despite Dawn's family's initial struggle to accept the relationship and the reality of Dusk leaving for college, the two boys commit to making their relationship work. They face their fears together, learning to love each other while embracing their differences. Their bond grows stronger, and they find a way to stay connected, proving that even in the face of distance and doubt, love can thrive.

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.

She's determined to seek him out and go live with him down on the West Coast, where he has a temporary job. The last thing April expects is almost being hit by a car. The owner of the vehicle? Her classmate, Dave Rivera, a troubled boy whom she almost never talked to before, and who can't be more different than her.
