Mari always thought she was a normal type of girl:
The one who never got asked out, the one who constantly looked like she just woke up, and the one who was in love with her best friend.
During her father's funeral in England when she was five, Mari saw something no one else could see. A big, black dog with bright yellow eyes.
It turns out that there is a connection between the two, and her life spirals down as her eighteenth birthday grows closer and closer.
====================================================================
Sneak Peak!
Mari kept her purse close. She had her earphones in and listened to the screams and cries of the men in her phone as she nodded her head to the beat. The city that she lived in wasn't the safest, but it also wasn't the worst. She continued to shift her eyes, waiting for a hooded man to charge at her.
Once she got to the neighborhood, she started to notice something strange. The lights above her that lit the roads were starting to burn out. Not consecutively, but randomly. She paused and looked around, wondering if it was some weird outage.
Mari continued walking, ignoring the lights, but once it started to get much darker, she started to worry. The only lights that she could clearly see were the ones coming from the inside of some houses.
The lights were turning off faster and faster and almost violently. Some of the bulbs exploded, causing the young woman to jump and wildly look around.
Finally, all the lights were out. All but one.
The lamp post in front of Mari was the one left standing, and the light it emitted created a little spotlight on the road.
A pair of yellow eyes appeared in the darkness, and it was coming much closer. Mari stepped back, unsure of what to make of the eyes. Was it a cat? Was it a freak wearing bright yellow contacts?
It was a black dog, and a big one at that.

I fell for a boy with the kindest blue eyes, and a charming dimple. He made me feel loved, and cared for, and most importantly he made me feel safe in his presence. He came right in the middle of a tornadoe and managed to turn it into blue skies. He changed my perspective and gave me hope and strength." I looked at him, and he was smiling, and his eyes were a little glossy. He took my hand and kissed it, a small tear caught in the corner of his beautiful eyes. "I thought, hey, maybe life isn't so bad after all. Maybe I can finally allow myself to love and be loved, and to live life normally. When we went to your party, you told me to wait for you.

A college student from an average but comfortable family, she lives alone, her parents' support measured in bank transfers rather than warmth.

Then one night, in a small café lit by amber lamps and the hum of chatter, she notices her. Daniela Avanzini-dark brown hair tied back, hazel eyes bright even under exhaustion, a barista with a smile that somehow reaches further than the walls of the shop.

SHATTER
"He leaned in so close that for a second I thought he was going to kiss me. Then he pulled back and remained quiet for a little while, until he spoke in a low voice. "Marie, there's something I need to tell you."

Marie somehow finds herself in the middle of a love triangle and is forced to face conflicts that make her whole world shatter.

Bound by fate
Nova disguise as a boy to enter the military school. If she is discovered as a girl, she will be kicked out. She is desperate to hide from trackers who have been following her for a dozen years. No one would think to look for her in an all-male military school. She hides among werewolves and is one of the very few nonshifters at the school. She catches the new instructor's curiosity, and her identity is threatened. He claims to be her mate, but she knows that her kind don't have a mate and desperately tries to avoid him. If he stumbles upon her true identity, she is screwed. "What are you doing?!" growls his highness, ripping the knife from my hands. It tingles as his fingers close around my wrist. Fresh blood flows from the wound, turning his hands red. Deep throaty sounds, rumbling in his chest. "You hurt yourself," he says softly, pain evident in his voice. I look up and frown. "It's just a small cut," I reply, annoyed. None of the other cadets get this kind of attention. Besides, we have to learn this to pass the exam. "Shhh, it's going to be okay," he says, pressing me close. My whole side explodes with sparks. It tickles me. "You have to stop hurt yourself. Why are you even here? How am I going to protect you here?" he asks angrily. "I don't need your protection!" I shout, pushing him away. I get an angry growl back. Quickly I grab another knife and throws it over my shoulder, hitting bulls' eye. He glares at me, and the room has gone completely silent. That's when I discover that I may have gone too far with the insanely possessive highness, even though I'm grateful for the extra lessons he gives me. Then suddenly everyone hurries out of the training area. Leaving me alone with the growling, red eyed alpha.
