Tough-as-old-leather-boots Corinthia is not as invincible as she likes to think. Her life, warped and fractured, is tearing apart at the seams.
Cracks are slowly appearing in her carefully crafted mask, a mask she has never lowered for another soul.
An abusive dad, a rich friend who will do anything to be emancipated, a hostile and unforgiving community and a powerful soul mate who's less than impressed, may be enough to crush her will to survive.
Add in the stress of being a Were who hasn't Phased, and therefore not accepted by her pack, the reality of her hopelessness is starting to push her over the edge.
Corinthia is breaking apart and with no-one there to catch her and pick up the pieces she may never get up.

Saving Alyssa
No one sees her. No one knows her. Alyssa Williams is the girl who fades into the background, the one who slips through the hallways unnoticed. She wears her black hoodie like a shield, her face hidden in the shadows, always on the edge of the crowd. She doesn't want to be seen. She doesn't want to be known. Because if anyone were to truly look, they'd see the fear in her eyes, the bruises that don't heal, and the story she's terrified of telling. Her life is a quiet war she fights every day-against her father's fists, against the memories that threaten to consume her, and against the world that's turned its back on her. She's learned to survive in the silence, to hide from the chaos that swirls around her. But when she decides she's had enough, and tries to run away from the nightmare that is her home, she finds herself crashing headfirst into something-or rather, someone-who might be even more dangerous than what she's running from. Dylan Scott. The bad boy. The bully. The one everyone stays away from. His presence is a storm, and his reputation is as dark as the night. He has a group of friends who don't question his actions, a life filled with secrets, and a world where no one dares to get too close. Everyone warns Alyssa about him, but she's already seen the worst the world has to offer. So when their paths collide, she's not sure what to expect. Will Dylan help her escape the hellhole she calls home-or will he drag her back into it? The truth is, Dylan Scott is hiding as much as Alyssa. He's trapped in his own battle, with his own demons, and just like her, he's been running from something for far too long. But when his and Alyssa's lives intersect, everything begins to unravel. The walls they've built around themselves begin to crack, and neither of them can ignore the pull between them. The question is: will they be able to save each other, or will they destroy each other in the process?Complete

She's never attempted to suicide but her classmates have attempted to kill her. He's the big, muscular teddy bear that every girl wants on their shoulders. The only reason he hangs with Zara? He has a secret that, if found out, he would be in Zara's position. 2) Father. Even though she has bruises from being beat, broken toes from heels, and mental scars from the names, it's much less worse than what father does to her. Of course, no one knows he does it. If Liam found out, he would be her knight in shining armor. Unfortunately when they have a falling out, Liam isn't there to save her when she needs him the most.Complete
