“No” I said defiantly staring into his violet eyes.
“You will tell my why you left or so help me I will beat it out of your brother!” To say he was frustrated was an understatement.
“You wouldn't dare. He is your beta.”
“Will be my beta there is a difference Amelia, he can be replaced. Amelia I am your alpha and I demand to know why you left.”
I couldn't tell him. I wouldn't have him blame himself, so I told him half the truth. No one but my family knew I was attacked that night I left. Everyone knew of my parents plans but they didn't know why they were so abruptly put into action.
“I sensed you. That night, I sensed my mate was close, and when I found out that it was you I was afraid. I was your best friends little sister, you never noticed me, you thought I was ugly, you even said so to my face once. You deserved and still do deserve someone that’s perfect. I am the exact opposite and I knew you would reject me so I never gave you the chance. I was scared of heart break.”
At that he slammed me against the wall, his lips joining with mine. The kiss was both possessive and passionate. I had never felt anything like this before, tingles erupted through me. I had never felt more alive. My wolf whimpered when he pulled away only to practically purr when the next words left his mouth
“You’re mine.” He growled.
------------------------------------
When Amelia comes home from America after 5 years she feels like she has finally learnt to fit in. She learned how to fight and be at one with her wolf, but does that make her perfect? She had struggled with the idea for years, never feeling good enough and being a total outcast hadn't helped. But now she was back, feistier and happier than ever. That is until she comes face to face with her mate, the man she was terrified of, the man who had caused her a world of heart ache that he didn't know about.
A genetically unique but emotionally lost teenager must figure out who she is within her mixed-up, warring world of Shifters and Wolfstalkers.
*****
It wasn't Maddie's choice to be born a half-breed, half Shifter, half Wolfstalker -- a hunter of Shifters -- and it wasn't her choice to keep her identity a secret. But after trying to attend high school like any normal sixteen-year-old, things quickly spiral south when her Stalker uncle finds out about her and catapults her out of anonymity and into the awareness--or possibly the crosshairs--of The Order of the Wolfstalker. Maddie must think fast and figure out a way to keep herself and her family safe, or risk losing everything. Including her life.
