"Grief is not as heavy as guilt, but it takes more away from you." - Veronica Roth

I turned my head away as fresh tears ran down my cheeks. "You don't understand. I'm not good for you. I'll ruin you. I'll--"
He shook his head and gently took my hands into his. "I understand. I do. More than you'll ever know."
"No one would want the broken girl. That's not how it goes."
His emerald green eyes shone as they bore into mine. "I want the broken girl."

18-year-old Nova Collins has had a hard life. She expects nothing to wake up to but monotone days, and nights of black nothingness. Memories plague her day and night, following her no matter where she goes, no matter what she does.
And she's alone. So alone.
Her whole world, or what is left of it, is slowly crumbling around her, and it's all her fault.
All because of one fateful day almost 6 years back.
Ever since then, she's become a mere shell of the bright and happy girl she once was, with the burden of her sorrow only made worse by others who refuse to allow her to heal. And piece by piece, she's breaking away, a withering autumn leaf buried by winter snow, a fragile china glass on the brink of coming apart completely.
She is falling, fast, and she needs someone to help her up again. Before it is too much to bear.
Enter Daniel Faust. He's like the sun, with the entirety of the school community revolving around him.
His pristine features, cocky smirks and utmost popularity all add up to the one thing he's spent years to master: The perfect mask.
But has no one yet seen the cracks in the porcelain?
And now he has seen her. Her tired sighs, her quiet calls for help.
And she has seen him. Under the act, and the cracking porcelain mask.
Two incomplete puzzles: Would they be the piece each one is missing?

The Rejected Alpha (Book 1 of the Rejected Series)
I never would wish anyone to lose their mate by rejection nor death. I never would wish this on my greatest enemy or my best friend. I never would wish this on anyone because I knew what it felt like to lose someone that should mean the world to a person. I knew what it was like to survive without a mate, and I couldn't help but pray that no one had to face it inside my pack. I couldn't help but pray to the Goddess for everyone to find the happiness that I had deserved but never had gotten. Unfortunately, my prayers weren't answered when the love of my life, my best friend, and my Alpha was rejected by his mate. And, as I watched as he struggled, I couldn't help but wonder as to who would think to reject an Alpha that deserves the world for putting up with my shit. And, I couldn't help but wonder if he deserves to be called an Alpha without his Luna. _______________________________________ NOTE: IF YOU READ THIS BOOK ON ANY OTHER APP BESIDES WATTPAD THEN IT IS COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.

'Neither of us do.' I threw my hands up in defeat. He caught them before they could fall. 'But how do I go back to living without your words?' His voice became a whisper.

A thousand different lifetimes to choose from, stemming from and decided entirely by my next choice. And in the end, I chose incorrectly.

Rejected Love {COMPLETED}
My mate. So weak. So pathetic. I have a weak and pathetic mate. I thought as I looked at her in disgust and displeasure. Just like me when I was human. She is human! I don't want a mate. I don't want a weak and pathetic mate! She can't fix me! She's nothing! Screw this! My thoughts were going berserk with the rushing flashes of my past. I tucked my hand through my hair roughly in an unsuccessful attempt to stop the replay of those horrible evocations. I laid her on the small grass patch at the side of the deserted road. She was half-conscious, so possibly she could hear me... "Hey!" I said, jerking her pale face gently. Blood was covering half of her face but she was still looking beautiful in the moonlight. The sparks weren't going unnoticed and I reminded myself that it was just the mate-bond. I was determined in my decision and there was no way I was going to change it. The girl opened her eyes slightly and with that, I did what I thought was right at that time. "I, Kane Wilson, reject you as my mate!" I said, with all the strength I could have mustered in my miserable state of emotions and with that, I left her there, feeling extreme pain in my heart. But I pushed that pain aside and ran from there in my ultimate inhuman speed. Away from her! Still feeling the Rejection Pain. *~*~*~*~*~*~* He rejected her when she didn't even know what he meant for her.
