Adriex Knowhow, an individual with a complex past that he refused to share. 

He spends his mornings working at the local diner on campus, flirting with every woman that breathes in his general direction; whether or not they have a partner, he couldn't care less. His evenings are dedicated to his classes. Despite being a menace to society, he still cares about his education to a certain degree. His nights? Well, those are spent drinking his memories away at his friend's fraternity house parties. 

He loves no one other than himself.

Until his sophomore year, when he met Maggie McKenna; the perfect example of who he used to be. She takes all the broken pieces of his past self and puts them back together; eventually turning him into his perfect, imperfect self.

She loved him, despite all his issues.

And he loved her, despite not wanting to.

Bonnie has never really 'loved' herself. When she was younger, she would always pick out something about her she didn't like.

This need becomes overwhelming, and soon her body shuts down, and her mental health plummets. She does some things, things she will regret in the future yet in the moment cures her need to feel alive, it brings satisfaction. Will her older brothers be able to save her? What happens when it all gets too much? They might be able to save her from other people, but can they save her from herself?...

I close my eyes as I drop my head. "I was scared that you would reject the bond. I didn't know what I would do if you rejected the bond we have." I say in a whisper. "I wouldn't reject it. I'm a vampire and you're a shapeshifter. Not only are you a shapeshifter, but you're also my true blood singer. Esme was but not my true blood singer. And when she died 5 years ago, I didn't feel depressed. I felt relieved that I could find my true blood singer. And that happens to be you, Melissa." He explains to me. I open my eyes and look at him.

When you are at your lowest there is only one thing you can do and that is to rise. Our protagonist went through some tough sh*t and then like a phoenix she was born again from her ashes. Every time someone tries to take you down you must not feel degraded or keep wallowing in self pity. Be the champion you wish for to come and rescue you.

I am sure you will like it. "Romantic dates, public declaration of love, standing by her side when going gets tough. Girls were jealous of her for getting such a loving and attentive mate or so she thought. It wasn't jealousy that seared their bond but the hidden truth that she stumbled upon. Daughter of an alpha, a girl who wears her heart on her sleeve, sheltered from world by her herculean father, over protective twin and annoying younger brother. A girl that looks at world in good faith. Sooner than later her faith was shredded to pieces. It happened a week before her 18th birthday. It was a moon less night but her pack was awash with light and cheer. It was for marking ceremony, where she would be marked by her mate and then after a private family gathering they were to leave for secluded wood that were sacred in its own way. It was a way to welcome her mate into the family and getting to know what was in store for him after they complete their mating when she turned eighteen. All in all it was a big day and she was supposed to be happiest person alive as nothing seem better then bonding to someone for life that makes you happy and love you for who you are. But alas! it was an illusion, a beautiful mirage that ended that day." To know what happened next you have to tag along, i will only say one thing, HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A WOMEN SCORNED. ~SK.

Navigating life alone, steering away from other people's business, the last thing he expected was to get caught in the new girl's world. A journey of healing, friendship, and a chance at love. ----------- P.s. since I'm a new writer the first couple chapters might sound a little cringe, but I swear it gets better so soon. It'd be nice if you keep reading till the end and I'd appreciate your support for this new hobby of mine. You're free to call me out on any errors or scenes that you don't like in the comments, be nice though. I really would love to read your comments on the book, so keep commenting, I'll try to always reply. Luv u. Enjoy.
