Determined to protect her family from a government set on exterminating them, Willow flees the city into a chemical swamp full of mutated wildlife. 

Season 1 of Toxic Nature    
                   
                                                                                         ******

The world has changed, and so has Willow. A government formed by good intentions and a dying planet is killing everyone. The criteria needed to stay alive gets more stringent every day, and Willow barters her soul to keep the ones she loves safe. But when two children are sentenced to die, she risks it all to save them. Willow and her family make the deadly decision to run to the one place the officials won't follow. 

The bayou. Deemed uninhabitable after the dumping of mysterious, neon-green chemicals, Willow has no idea if they're running toward salvation or a slow, painful death.

But just like the rest of the world, the swamp has changed. When fish have fangs, alligators talk, and a wild man named Croc maneuvers like a beast, Willow will learn what it truly means to be human.

UPDATED WEEKLY He finally released my legs, allowing me to slide down his body until my feet hit the floor, but that was as far as he let me go. Heat was radiating off him scorching me all the way down my spine as he held me tightly against him. His quick breaths were falling on the back of my neck with a tingling warmth that brought goosebumps to the surface of my skin. Placing one large hand on my shoulder, he wrapped my long brown hair around his other. Gently, he tugged on my dark mane, pulling my head to the side and exposing the tender column of my neck. Bringing his nose down to the crook there, he inhaled deeply, a rumbling "mmmm" escaping his lips. My mouth went dry. "Are-" I swallowed. "Are you going to mark me?" I manage in a stuttered whisper. Book Blurb: Dr. Willa Grey has developed a little bit of a performance problem... Willa has a plan for how she wants to spend her life. She even fought for a rare opportunity to attend human medical school. Unfortunately for Willa, the time among humans denying her wolf instincts has had dire consequences that could ultimately mean her life. Even worse, her homecoming falls on the eve of the Blue Moon Summit, when she will not only have to face her pack leaders but also some of the most powerful leaders from around the world, and she is terrified they could sniff out the truth. Just as she fears she could possibly lose her pack, and everything she has worked for, a chance encounter with a mysterious wolf on the night of the full moon ignites her mate bond and stirs her dormant wolf.

Highest Rankings: #1 Vampire #1 Paranormal #1 Fantasy #1 Supernatural #1 Action #1 Dragon #5 Romance #5 Wattpad's AD App 100 MOST READ LIST! Her body was exquisite. I wanted to run my tongue around her hardened nipples and grasp her hips while sinking inside her. I contemplated what sounds she would make when I nudged her deep, and how long it would take before she screamed my name. It wasn't a matter of if she would scream my name, only when. I shook my head, trying to clear my rampant thoughts. If she'd never been touched by a man, starting out with me was an extremely dangerous choice. Anxiety rolled through me. There would be no 'starting out', because that implied a continuation and all she had was an ending. I hadn't just come here for answers. Tonight, she was going to die by my hand... NOTE: Contains graphic intimacy, intense relationships, humor and clever twists you will never expect! FOLLOW me to see the PRIVATE chapters! TRIGGER Warning: contains episodes of sexual violence. Jadalove16: Honestly, this book deserves a Grammy, an Emmy, an Oscar, a Golden globe, all the Watty awards and every award that exists. This is hands down the best Wattpad book I have read and it is most definitely is in the top 3 of my favourite books ever. It is by far the most unpredictable book I have ever read. I seriously want this book to be published and sold because I would definitely buy it. This book deserves universal recognition, that's how fucking great it was. I constantly put off sleep because I was so absorbed in the story. I even went to bed one hour before I would wake up one time. Even though the this book was based on fantasy it felt so real and the characters, the problems, conflicts and everything that occurred was realistic. It was well written and hardly predictable. When you thought you knew something, it was something completely different. This book was an emotional rollercoaster and I enjoyed the ride. © 2015 All Rights Reserved

"Everlynn... love... you..." it sounded like whispers in my head, vapors on the wind. "Everlynn... run..." the voice whispered. Why did it, no he, sound so fucking familiar? "EVERLYNN RUN!!" the voice screamed in agonizing pain before sounding so much weaker. "You can't see this... RUN!!" I could hear him sobbing, out there somewhere in the darkness. This deep darkness was starting to present a cold chill. "RUN EVERLYNN!" the mysterious voice shouted. "RUN AND NEVER LOOK BACK!!" I felt heat, pain, and an indescribable feeling of loss. I had lost someone or something that made me feel complete, made me feel like a whole person. Someone I LOVE is back there! Someone I love more than myself, so deeply, I can't even think about leaving him! The tears were streaming down my face reaching this realization. I took a deep breath to steady myself against whatever I was about to do. Whatever I was about to see. Then, I turned and ran towards the voice that was SO full of pain. I ran to save his life... and to save my own. His life is my life. His death is my death. These were the only things I knew for certain at this point. I ran to him because it was the only thing I could do. "EVERLYNN... NOOOOOOOOO!!"
