Sapphire always felt like she was missing a big part of her life not knowing anything about her birth father. Tragedy strikes and her whole world comes crashing down around her. What she thought she knew is turned upside down, shattering her into a million pieces. Can she rebuild her life now that the truth has been revealed? Sapphire's 18th birthday is approaching fast, and she can't wait to meet her wolf for the first time and hopefully meet her mate. But nobody could foresee the events that transpire when she finally does. I have put trigger warnings at the beginning of the chapter, that have violence and smut. You can skip those chapters and carry on to the next one. Shattered Pieces will be updated once a week. This story is nearly complete on my computer. ############################################################################### This is the first story that I have ever written. I look forward to your comments, but please be kind. It is not perfect. All negative comments will be deleted. The idea of this story came to me when New Zealand went into Lockdown due to Cover 19. While the rest of the country had to stay at home, the few of us who were classified as essential workers kept the country running. This story helped me cope with the added stress of all the restrictions in place. Enjoy, and please don't forget to vote and leave comments. This story is completely my idea, so NO copying it onto any other platform. A big shout out to my friend, who has been with me the whole way and has encouraged me to carry on with the story when I nearly gave up on it. @DrWhoEmily No 1 # Worrior

"I have to bite back a gasp as River's hand comes up, brushing my long hair back behind my ears. He doesn't stop there, letting his hand travel to my cheek and stroking lightly. His thumb brushes over my lips, parting them, and I barely stop a moan from escaping. His touch feels so good, there aren't words. One minute he's kissing me gently and the next we're all over each other. Throwing caution to the wind I practically leap at him, aligning my body so I'm touching as much of him as possible. He sits back down, pulling me down on top of him so that I'm straddling his waist."
