"flash back" fire blazed everywhere, i werewolfs worst nightmare. howls of pain and fear everywhere. i could feel the heat of the fire intensifing, if only i could find my parents or brother, they would know what to do. They always do. suddenly i could hear chants of war being called. was this an attack? where were my parents i needed to find the now!!!! suddenly i heard my name being called, i ran towards the sound. i knew that voice. ' mama, are you hurt? wheres papa? blake?' my thoughts were everywhere, i couldnt focus. ' cupcake, i need you to do me a favour. ok? i want you to into your dad's office and escape using the secret passage, i have sent your brother there and he is waiting for you.' 'what about you and papa? you cant stay here' i whispered softly. ' me and your dad will be right behind you, sweety we just have to take care of the pack. you know its our duty' 'Promise you will follow' ' i promise. i never let you down, now go!' i didnt need another push, she made a promise to me. as quickly as i could i ran to my papa's office dodging the falling floorboards. bursting throught the door and slamming it behind me, i ran into somebody's chest, snifing the air i imediatly knew who it was. Harley, my twin. before we could do anything the rafters of the floor above us fell down. that was it, it wasnt safe here, we ran to the hidden passage way. following it to the end, opening into the deep forest. the flames of the fire were burning high, screams of the innocent pack members, spread through the deadly silence. suddenly a shiver ran through my body, instantly i knew what it meant, both of us did. pain, anger rushed throughout me. stepping a foot to go save them, arms wrapped around my waist, holding me close. thrashing about in rage i hit my twin on the nose. realeasing a groan, his grip tightened. his lips came to my ear and hissed ' stop, i loved them too but there is nothing we can do. we are omega rouges now, we have to fend on our own'
My mum always used to tell me what it's like to see your mate for the first time. She used to say that at that moment, everything around you stopped, that nothing else mattered.
And nothing else would matter. If it wasn't for the little girl clinging to my leg right now. That little girl that trusts me with her life, that beautiful little girl that made me hold on and not give up on life. That little girl, whose father is standing in front of me right now. He's my mate.
The edges of his lips curve and he looks up and down as if checking me out.
"Long time no see." Are the words that first come out of his mouth that break the silence.

Lexie is an Alpha's daughter. She faces a hard few days and thinks a night at the club will help her get through this. A few drinks won't hurt, right? At least that's what she thinks. Yet that night will change everything sooner than she would ever imagine.
When the next day, her pack gets attacked, everything is chaos. Her mother and father are killed and her world shatters. She's forced to run away and leave everyone that she still has left behind. She thinks she has no one... that's until she finds out about another heartbeat in her body.
Raising a baby on your own is hard enough. After a few years she finally meets her mate though and it turns out she knows him after all. How will she confess that her mate is actually her daughter's father? What will happen now?
We don't live in a fairy tale where every story has a happy ending though. Real world isn't that easy...if you can call a world full of mystical creatures very real.
