I was twelve years old the first time I saw Parker Wells. I was fighting with my earring to put it in its place in my ear in front of my mirror; a look of sadness possessed my features, thinking about every thing that was wrong with my face and the few possibilities I had to fix none of them. His face appeared in the little reflection. Through the window behind me, I could see his house and his car beside it. He was in the drivers seat and I could hear the truck's noise. He looked grown up, and I was a just a girl. He was looking at me intently anyway. I never thought you could long for someone that bad just by a look. I sadly never saw him again, but I dreamt of him every night. Maybe, if I'm lucky, he'll be my prince and save me. After six years, I got tired of waiting. If he won't show up, I'll be my own prince. I'll save myself.

[Slow Brew Series 1 of 2] [Completed] Look, I didn't mean to embarrass myself the first time I walked into Brewing Grounds. Or the second. Or...every other time since. But something about the place-and the barista with the messy ponytail and the glasses that she pushes up her nose-makes me forget how to form actual sentences. Bea. Her name's Bea. She spelled mine wrong on my cup the first day (Ell-yot Hayul), and now I'm kind of obsessed. Not with her. With medium lattes. With her handwriting. With the little hearts she scribbles on my cups. Okay... maybe a little bit with her. The point is: I'm a walking disaster around her, and I'm pretty sure she knows it. And okay, maybe I started showing up every morning at exactly 7:30 just to see her. And maybe I've been reading up on how to flirt because I thought that might help (it hasn't). But honestly, what's the worst that could happen? I embarrass myself again? (Already done that.) Spill coffee on my tie? (Happened last week.) Accidentally fall in love with the barista who writes flirty notes on my coffee cups? Oh, wait...

An aspiring architect, a broody business owner, a pregnant nineteen year old, and a goofy barista. What could go wrong? **As I write more of this story, I'm sure the description will get a lot better! :) I had to change the cover because I wen't from following one couple, to two.

"You know you can't resist me much longer." He continued to trail kisses down my neck and jaw. I bit my lip to keep a moan from escaping. "I am your mate and Alpha, I order you to not touch any male or flirt with them." "In case you have forgotten, I'm a rogue, I don't have to listen to you." The alpha growled and I couldn't stop the smirk from forming on my lips. He pushed me harder onto the wall and moved closer so every inch of our bodies were touching. It took every ounce of strength I had to stop myself from jumping him right there. He moved his hand to caress my cheek and I found myself leaning into his touch. "When I first laid my eyes on you, you were mine. If I see any male looking at you inappropriately or longer than necessary, that will be the last thing they see. You are mine and only mine. I'm not one to share what belongs to me."

-COMPLETED- Audrey Allen had lived her entire life in the Dark Root pack, and every minute of it had been dreadful. Well, perhaps not every minute of her life, but every moment she had endured since her mother's death ten years ago had shaped her into the pathetic excuse for a woman that she was today. Or at least, that's how she viewed herself. A decade of neglect and abuse would do that to a girl. All Audrey believed she was good for was cooking and cleaning the pack house, and her father had her doubting even those abilities. Alpha Dean Whittaker had ruled as Alpha of Dark Root for eight years by himself. Although he secretly craved his mate, his Luna, to appear in his life and allow him to strengthen his pack even more, he knew his chances of ever finding her were slim. He was feared by both his own pack members and surrounding packs, so even if he ever did find his mate, he'd likely have to force her to stay. Not that that'd be a problem - Alpha Dean did as he pleased. When a chance encounter brings Audrey and Dean face-to-face, both of their lives are turned upside down. As they endure the new challenges life has presented them, they find that they possess the power to either build each other up, or tear each other apart. ______________________ #1 in Werewolf 4/12/2020 #1 in Love 4/16/2020 Cover by @victoriapinkglitter LUNAS SERIES ORDER: -Luna Hana -Luna Lena -Luna Audrey -Luna Zahra -Luna Skylar -Luna Brenna -Luna Melody **Luna Hana and Luna Lena are the first two books in the series.
