"Why do you hate me so much?" I asked, desperate to know why she kept pushing me away when all I wanted was to hold her close.

"I don't hate you!" She shouted. She was glaring daggers at me but I'd finally grown immune to her medusa-like stare. "God... why are you making this so damn hard!"

"Why am I making this so hard? Why are you making this so hard? I just wanted you to..." I couldn't tell her what I really wanted. That would push her away for good. "Just... wanted to be friends."

Alin shook her head and let down her stony facade. She wasn't angry. No. Her expression was one of pain and agony.

"We can't be friends, Adler. It would hurt more if we were."

*****

Imagine being a 14 year old one day, and turning 18 the next.

Joseph Adler wakes up in his bedroom one day to find it in shambles. Not only that, he also realises that his only company is a strange creature that doesn't want to be his friend and instead wants to suck his blood.

As Joseph learns more and more about the new world he lives in, he realises that some secrets were never meant to be unravelled.

Book 1 of The Shadow Series. Myths, that's what the humans called it, but for Ashe it quickly became her reality. Her life changing transformation narrowed her paths down to two; She could either embrace her fates and save the people she's grown to love, or she can walk away and live a somewhat normal life while others suffer the consequences. How far is she willing to go to create peace where there's never been any? Will she even create peace? Or will she help encourage the most brutal war the Shadow Realms have ever experienced? Several years of Asheland's childhood had disappeared from her memory. She assumed it was her brain trying to protect her from a traumatic event, although that's true it's not exactly what she expected and her brain wasn't necessarily the cause. After being homeless until she was sixteen years old, then living in a boat dock for four years, she had finally found her home in a cottage in the near-by mountains of Wolf Creek. Everything seemed to be going well. However, as a list of secrets begin unraveling when Ashe gives in to her overwhelming urges to visit the island that terrified almost every citizen in Wolf Creek, her life becomes more complicated than she could've ever imagined. All of this just because she was turning twenty-one. Nothing was as it had ever seemed. * excerpt from the book * { "Why do you make such reckless, impulsive decisions?" The old man asked as we watched the moon. "The world could end tomorrow and everyone expects me to live in fear today? There's no life to live inside the box of fear, there's no freedom in there," I replied softly. }

My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal.
