"Tell me, do you hate me?"
I glare at him, "Of course I hate you, I've always hated you and that will never change," I spat. He growled and swiftly pulled me towards him. I try to get out of his grip but he's too strong. "Let go of me!"
"Do you know what it means to be mated? Do you know the severity of rejecting your mate?"
"I don't care! I'll never love you, I'll never accept you as my mate. I reject you!" I regretted the words as soon as they left my mouth. His eyes were glowing and I didn't need to know how he was feeling, his face said it all.
"I won't allow you to reject me. Olivia you are my mate MY mate whether you like it or not. You are mine now, tomorrow, and forever and even if you hate me I won't let you go, I won't let anyone else have you. Never."
A genetically unique but emotionally lost teenager must figure out who she is within her mixed-up, warring world of Shifters and Wolfstalkers.
*****
It wasn't Maddie's choice to be born a half-breed, half Shifter, half Wolfstalker -- a hunter of Shifters -- and it wasn't her choice to keep her identity a secret. But after trying to attend high school like any normal sixteen-year-old, things quickly spiral south when her Stalker uncle finds out about her and catapults her out of anonymity and into the awareness--or possibly the crosshairs--of The Order of the Wolfstalker. Maddie must think fast and figure out a way to keep herself and her family safe, or risk losing everything. Including her life.
