My name is Aeris Thorne. I am a genetically modified human. And I'm in serious danger.
PAINFUL SECRETS
STARTLING TRUTHS.
UNDENIABLE LOVE.
All it took was a chance meeting--one tingling glance across a darkened street to change my life.
I'd been searching for my two best friends in the crowded Zenith Club, which was a really bad idea because I'm totally claustrophobic.
I burst outside. That's when I came face-to-face with Hunter Cayman. Dark-haired, tall, and leaning against an insane sports car, my pulse went haywire. The young doctor had his long muscular arms crossed over his leather jacket clad chest, and all his six-foot something would make any girl's knees turn weak. But then, if what Ella said was true, Hunter was the kind of guy who left behind a trail of broken hearts. And heartache was the last thing I needed right now.
Yet there's something strange, something almost superhuman about Hunter. It's more than that infuriatingly knowing grin. I'm trying to stop thinking about him, and I get the feeling he's avoiding me, too. Yet Deep Cove is a tiny town and every time we run into each other the tension literally crackles, sparking around us. It just figures that when suddenly I'm in danger, he's there to save me.
In truth, I should be dead. I should be shattered to pieces. How fast was I going on that ATV when I smashed into those iron gates? Ninety? A hundred? And the men who were chasing me, where did they go?
Somehow I'm whole.
Maybe better than whole.
There's no one I can talk to, not even my best friend, Gage. Gage hates Hunter. He wants Hunter's laboratory to be shut down. He thinks Hunter's a monster. And yet, if that's true, if Hunter's a monster...than what am I? I'm not sure what terrifies me more, the metamorphosis taking place inside me, or the intensely powerful connection with a guy whose heart and soul has become linked with mine.

He's My Mate
CAUTION CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT. "Say it, Allison," he said, his voice low as he trapped me against the rough wall. A shiver ran down my spine, his voice pulling at me, the power in it making me want to do anything he asked. I shook my head, afraid my voice might betray me. His teeth lightly grazed my neck causing a sigh to get past my lips. I could feel him smile against my skin. He knew he was going to get what he wanted one way or another. I tried to slip away, but he grabbed my wrists, pinning them down tightly. He pressed his hard body against me. I was aware of every inch of him that was touching me. "Don't think you can just leave. We're not done yet." My stomach tightened at his words, the desire inside burning for him. My damn body at war with my mind yet again.

A reality where we are tangled up against each other. "You should be al...-" A gasp escapes my mouth as he lifts me up or rather goes further low for me. His hands, back on my waist.

The Blood Claim Part One: The Alpha's Right
(INCLUDES EXCERPT OF PART TWO) My name is Stella Stillinski. My twin brother, Stiles, and I, have gone through quite a lot since school started this fall: namely finding out that werewolves were real and our best friend, Scott McCall, is was one of them. Stiles and I have come to terms with the fact that Scott's a werewolf-- and that his kinda-girlfriend Allison Argent is part of a family of people who love to Hunt-- werewolves, that is. For a while, we thought the Beacon Hils Bad Boy, Derek Hale-- a born werewolf --was the town's local murderer. Turns out it was his "dead" Uncle Peter who was never really dead, just suffering for five years in an asylum of some sorts, and Derek's just as big a jerk as Jackson Douchemore-- I mean, Whittmore. There's also something going on with Lydia Martin, Stiles' Lifetime Movie Crush and Jackson's longtime girlfriend, although I still can't figure out what that's all about. One night not too long ago, Scott and Stiles decided to (ingeniously) get themselves trapped inside Beacon Hills High. I out having a nice time with Allison, Jackson, and Lydia when a text lured the rest of us to the school. Needless to say, we got ourselves trapped, too-- by Not-So-Dead Super-Psycho Alpha Peter Hale, no less. Over the course of one night, we almost get ourselves killed-- in School, of all places -- by Peter the Alpha; Derek the Alpha Douche comes to the rescue, but not before Scott is half-turned into a killing machine, and I'm nearly killed with a swipe of Peter's claws. I could barely remember that night, and my inevitable and swift transition into a teen-aged werewolf has been terrifying. Even though I've come to terms with what I am now, and Stiles has still been so supportive, he's suffocating me-- I can't help but think that someone important is missing-- someone who just so happened to give me the three jagged scars that are slashed across my stomach....Complete
