"No. No. NO!" Allena screamed. Mates were supposed to be beautiful and perfect, they were bring you a happy future. Her's is literally cursed to be the opposite!
"I'm sorry..." Emillia replied softly. Another life she'd ruined. Wonderful.
Emillia is magic. Emillia is also horribly depressed. She is a Changeling, a Fae child put in the place of a human one. Her parents resent her for the death of their real daughter, but kept her to prevent a war between humans and Fae. She is cursed to be alone. Or live with the guilt of ruining the lives of those she loves.
Allena is an Alpha, and soon to assume the rank of Beta in her pack. Her life is perfect, the next step is to meet her mate. When she finds who it is and realises her life is over.
___________________________
In a world where magic is common, werewolves, faeries, humans, and many other creatures live at peace, there is a girl. This girl is cursed to attract negative energy to herself and everyone around her. Emillia knows she will be all alone forever, it's her destiny. Or is it? When she meets her mate she feels a speck of hope, only to be rejected. After all, who would want her? When her mate realises her mistake, but can she fix it? Or will the curse get her mate first?
"Alison," one of them says, walking closer to me.
"Yes, Alpha?" I ask as I shuffle back slightly, keeping my head down.
He takes a few more quick steps towards me, backing me into the cupboards. I flinch when his hand reaches out to gently cup my face. Oh, no. "Look at me."
My body involuntarily listens, lifting my head to look into deep green eyes.
'Mate,' my wolf, Vanessa, whispers weakly, talking to me for the first time in over a year.
'Nessa?!' I try to call back to her. She doesn't reply.
I look back at the twin that I now somehow know is Cameron. My eyes dart between him and Chris as I start to hyperventilate. No. If Cameron is my mate then that means...No...
Alone since the death of her parents, Alison Taylor has spent six years relying on herself, surviving by herself, and protecting herself. The time that she doesn't spend working or studying is spent fearfully avoiding bullies. All she's ever wanted was to get out of the pack and away from those who hurt her.
Everything changes when the future alphas of her pack come of age and discover she's their mate. Alison's life changes forever as past wounds are reopened and secrets are brought to light.
