Life is pretty hard as a teenager, and that's not including the itsy bitsy detail of me being able to travel back in time through my dreams and...oh I don't know....change the course of history. 

This is a pretty recent development, and I have NO clue what to do about it. Not only that but there is some incredibly sexy but super creepy new dude who's rocked up in my small town and he seems hell-bent on making my life even more complicated. 

So in between finding time to do my homework and watching out for my best friends not-so-friendly new boyfriend, I need to be saving a young Napoleon Bonapartes ass  from trouble before he can grow up to become the vertically challenged military officer we know him as today...but you know, typical day in the life of Elena Kristal.

((Hey, thanks for reading the blurb of my story...if you decide to read it and have any advice me for me or constructive criticism, please comment on the story. This is my first piece of writing so I would be happy to take any hints or suggestions. The book is a work in progress, so I will try to update as much as I can. Thanks once again, and I hope you enjoy it. From: M ))

Nova disguise as a boy to enter the military school. If she is discovered as a girl, she will be kicked out. She is desperate to hide from trackers who have been following her for a dozen years. No one would think to look for her in an all-male military school. She hides among werewolves and is one of the very few nonshifters at the school. She catches the new instructor's curiosity, and her identity is threatened. He claims to be her mate, but she knows that her kind don't have a mate and desperately tries to avoid him. If he stumbles upon her true identity, she is screwed. "What are you doing?!" growls his highness, ripping the knife from my hands. It tingles as his fingers close around my wrist. Fresh blood flows from the wound, turning his hands red. Deep throaty sounds, rumbling in his chest. "You hurt yourself," he says softly, pain evident in his voice. I look up and frown. "It's just a small cut," I reply, annoyed. None of the other cadets get this kind of attention. Besides, we have to learn this to pass the exam. "Shhh, it's going to be okay," he says, pressing me close. My whole side explodes with sparks. It tickles me. "You have to stop hurt yourself. Why are you even here? How am I going to protect you here?" he asks angrily. "I don't need your protection!" I shout, pushing him away. I get an angry growl back. Quickly I grab another knife and throws it over my shoulder, hitting bulls' eye. He glares at me, and the room has gone completely silent. That's when I discover that I may have gone too far with the insanely possessive highness, even though I'm grateful for the extra lessons he gives me. Then suddenly everyone hurries out of the training area. Leaving me alone with the growling, red eyed alpha. *This book contains graphic depictions of violence, sexuality, strong language, and other mature themes.* English is not my first language.

"I'm such a bother to yall." I choke out. "I'm so fucking weak. I can't even defend myself." Xavier's arms unwrap from my body, and his hands hold my teary face. "I'm a worthless h-human." Xavier furrows his eyebrows in pain. A tear of his own falling down his face. "No," he says shaking his head. "No. You've never been a bother to me. You aren't weak.
