When the first polaroid arrived at my door stop early morning, I assumed it was an early Christmas card, or maybe an invitation to a distant relatives wedding.
The paper was crisp in my hand, and judging from the small damp patch on the back, I assumed it had only just be licked and sealed shut.
Tearing it open, I looked down at the polaroid, and back up to the empty street. Everything was silent...except for my thumping heart.
It was a picture of me, standing close to the headstone of my dead brother. Ten years ago my brother died in a freak car accident with some other kids.
In the distance, someone stood close, watching.

The Alphas Baby Girl (Unedited)
He kissed my head and smiled down at me. I couldn't help but smile back and kiss his bare chest. This moment was perfect, and I didn't ever want to leave it. "What's your name, my dearest mate?" He asked in his husky voice. "Rosemary, but everyone just calls me Rose. And yours my handsome mate?" I asked sweetly. "Baine. You have a beautiful name my sweet Rose." "Thank you, I love your name as well." He kissed me softly and before the kiss could deepen, he stiffened. Proof that he was mind linking with a pack member. His expression went hard and he looked down and me sadly. I knew what it meant, but I didn't want to face it. "I have to go, I'm sorry." He said as he got up and dressed quickly. "What do you mean? Why? Do I at least get a number or something?" I asked panicked, trying to hide my hurt. "I'm sorry.... Goodbye...." that's all he said before slipping out the door and disappearing for possibly ever....Complete

For three years, I've lived in the shadows, trying to survive. But now, I got dragged back to the academy, my duties, and the dangerous games of power and survival. Life and death are daily lessons here. My Nexus despises me, my enemies want me dead, and everyone thinks I'm broken. A girl with no powers. But they can't know the truth.

New Beginnings
"No! I don't wanna hear a damn thing you gotta say. You betrayed me!" I said as I snatched my arm away and stormed out without turning back. I got into my car and looked at the scratch in the mirror. As Monte trailed behind me, I quickly pulled out the parking lot and sped home. When I got home, the neighbor was outside on the porch again. He waved, but I couldn't find the strength to wave back and ran into the house before I completely broke down. As soon as I closed the door, I slid to the floor and cried my eyes out. About 5 minutes later, there was a knock on the door. I stayed where I was, thinking it was Monte outside. "Miss?" I heard from the other side of the door. I got up and tried to get myself together the best way I could at the moment and looked out the peep hole. It was the neighbor.Complete
The Lost Hybrid (Completed)
I felt the bed dip as he sat down on the other side but I focused solely on my task until I was done. "This is a pillow barrier. Meaning, you don't breach this side of the pillows." I instructed, my voice firm. "What if I don't want anything between us?" Phoenix said in a husky voice, and I risked a glance. Bad choice. His eyes were dark and his gaze was on my lips, to my chest, then back to my lips. "Eyes up here, buddy." I snapped the third time his eyes went down to my chest. All he did was turn off the lights. When it was dark, he whispered," Can't I admire what is mine?" I had no answer, and turned on my side. He sighed. Despite taking two naps today, I was out cold the minute my head hit my pillow. I could only hope that in the morning, the pillow barrier was still there. ***** Adira has a secret, one she would do anything to protect.

My heart banged against my chest as his footsteps increased. I spotted someone come out of his car and approach a house, presuming it's his house. I didn't have much time he was about to close his door. I ran over to him and hugged him. He looked at me with confusion but I ignored it. "Baby I missed you," I cupped his cheeks and I kissed him. I heard the man's footsteps and I pushed both of us into his house slamming the door behind us... What happens when fate brings a lady with a terrible past and an innocent guy together.

"Don't cry love. It's not your burden to bear." He pulled away, looking me in the eyes seriously. I paused for a moment, then embraced him tighter and kissed him fervently once more. "You made it my burden when you said you loved me."Complete
