[TRIGGER WARNING: story contains abuse, rape, self harm, and mentions of suicide]
Teenage werewolf Elaina Wilson has been tortured for the majority of her life, by people she once trusted and loved. Her pack, her father and Alpha, everyone. Scars cover her body, as well as her emotions and memory. Her heart, as torn and cracked as it is, has abandoned all hope of love, but still manages to fill her body with complete sadness. She can't look anyone in the eye, or make physical contact without flinching. But she doesn't need any comfort, she's abandoned any prospect of someone loving her again, she doesn't want anyone to love her.
She wants an escape, a safe haven to run to. She doesn't want any friends, and is terrified of the idea of having a mate, because she feels that they would only hurt her. She simply wants to be left alone, because all she's ever known is pain. Her memories of abuse traumatize her, and her happy memories taunt her. She doesn't want to even try making new, happier memories. She considers happiness a lost cause for her.
Will she change her mind when she meets the handsome alpha of a neighboring pack, Xavier, and discovers he's her mate?
Or will her fright and depression completely consume her?

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.
*****

She's built barriers around her heart, so strong that only the most powerful force could break them down.

When she discovered her mate was Alpha Phoenix, she was sure the Moon Goddess was trying to punish her. As truths unfold and loyalty is put to the test, her secret comes to light. Those she loves and the ones who would hurt her without a second thought find out, and she finds out a certain Twin has her in his sights.
Will she open up to Phoenix? Will he break down her walls?
Or will they both drown in truth's untold?
