Seventeen-year-old Raina Brandt has never fit in. A physical disability means she's bullied at school by popular kids like Hector, and only her two best friends, Jess and Sy, seem to understand her. But despite this, Raina thinks she's got life all figured out. Until, one day, a shopping trip for lip gloss turns into a catastrophe of apocalyptic proportions. Everyone around her seems to have developed weird magical powers. Well, everyone but her. Jess can appear anywhere, Hector can read minds- and Sy, well, Sy's gone missing. Raina would give anything for things to go back to the way they were and a mysterious and handsome stranger offers her just that, as long as she does something for him in return. But things aren't quite what they seem, especially when Raina discovers she's even more powerful than she could have ever imagined. Now, it's up to Raina to figure out how to exist in a new world of uncertainty and decide where her loyalties lie. Hanging in the balance is the life of her friend and possibly the fate of magic itself. ******* COMPLETE. Rated PG-13 for mature themes in later chapters. There will be trigger warnings at the top of any chapter that might include anything triggering. Swearing is in most chapters. Please consider this your warning for that. The completed novel is about 50k words and is a standalone, though I may write a sequel with the same characters.

"Alison." One of them says, walking closer to me. "Yes, Alpha?" I ask as I shuffle back slightly, keeping my head down. He takes a few more quick steps towards me, backing me into the cupboards. I flinch when his hand reaches out to gently cup my face. Oh, no. "Look at me." My body involuntarily listens, lifting my head to look into deep green eyes. 'Mate.' My wolf, Vanessa, whispers weakly, talking to me for the first time in over a year. 'Nessa?!' I call back to her desperately but she doesn't reply. I look back at the twin that I now somehow know is Cameron. My eyes dart between him and Chris as I start to hyperventilate. No. If Cameron is my mate then that means...No... Alone since the death of her parents, Alison Taylor has spent six years relying on herself, surviving by herself, and protecting herself. The time that she doesn't spend working or studying is spent fearfully avoiding bullies. All she's ever wanted was to get out of the pack and away from those who hurt her. Everything changes when the future alphas of her pack come of age and discover she's their mate. Alison's life changes forever as past wounds are reopened and secrets are brought to light.

Elaine Rainier had a pretty clear picture of how she hoped her future would turn out. All she ever dreamed of was to live a perfectly normal life and work as her adopted father's assistant blacksmith. Simple and easy. All that changed the day her sister was kidnapped, an event that turned her life upside down and sent it on a completely different course, all in the blink of an eye. Now Elaine is forced to face the past she preferred to leave far behind as she searches for her sister with the help of the Captain of the Guard, Gunter, who she might have been harboring secret feelings for since they were kids. But the captain has secrets of his own, ones he's reluctant to share, and he may or may not accept Elaine's own secrets, ones she had hoped would never see the light of day. Together, they head for the king's mountain estate where they hope to find safety from the assassins who took Elaine's sister, assassins who might have been after a different target altogether. All the while, Elaine tries to deny the fact that her future dreams may never become reality. **If you like stories about elemental magic and dragon shifters, then you've come to the right place.
