“Life ... is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”
― William Shakespeare, Macbeth
This quote signifies Karleen Jacobs life, to the point of having it printed out and pasted on her wall to remind her daily of the loss she’s been through. In her eyes life has no purpose anymore, it’s an ugly time that’s been forced upon her, where existing or not doesn’t matter any longer. Life is of no significance, as she had to learn early, because it can be taken away in the blink of an eye.
Having lost her parent’s to a car accident, Karleen is living with her uncle and is a fresh high school graduate, that’s not planning to go to college. But when she’s offered an opportunity to justify her parent’s death, and ease her troubled mind she takes it up immediately, after all it has been bothering her for years whom her parents were going out to meet, who the cause of their death was.
Trying to find that person takes Karleen out on a scavenger hunt all over New York, forcing her to make friendships and enjoy life once again, teaching her the true worth of being alive.

Don't Leave
(Unedited) Rejection hurts. It can break many people apart. Slowly crushing their souls and silencing their wolfs forever. Unfortunately, that happened to Christina Prior. Ever since she was little, she always dreamed about getting a mate. Growing up, she soon faced the reality that her own soul mate didn't want her, but her gorgeous best friend. The one thing that would help her wolf and herself heal from the damage was to leave the pack and disappear. She did just that. Now three years later, she returns back to her pack not as a badass she-wolf, but a dying wolf. She has terminal cancer with only three months left. Let's just say that it would be nice to hear someone say "Don't Leave."Concluida

Embrace My Heart (completed)
*Short Story* It is difficult to stay with the people who look down at you like you are some kind of disease. It hurts when they don't want to acknowledge you for the good things you have done. It hurts when your family rejects you only because you are quiet and weak saying you are good for nothing. Annie Ryan was nothing but a quiet, innocent teenager waiting for her mate to save her from the dark hell she was living in. She had only one dream, she wanted to feel loved, she wanted someone to tell her that they care and would love her no matter what happens. But little did she know that she was just another unfortunate soul whose mate had different plans. Caden was an young alpha. He had everything but where everyone was eager to meet their mate, he wasn't. He had already given his position of alpha female to his girlfriend. But after she left him, he turned cold and ruthless. But when he met Annie, his mate, one thing was clear. He wanted nothing to do with her. He asked her to leave but when she declined, he paid her no attention like she never existed. Annie was broken. Her dream was just a dream. Every night she closed her eyes, she realized she was going to die alone with no one to care. She wanted to end her life but not before setting everything right, not before her destined alpha mate finds his happiness. Caden didn't know what he was missing until he lost it. Maybe that's how life works. Maybe that's why it is called cruel.Concluida
