A promise that if she found love in another's arms, he would let her go but now back in reaching distance, he may find it hard to keep his word.

The Morana Lily which blooms in the aftermath of utter carnage has the ability to save werewolves from silver's lethal hold but the last remaining plant was stolen long ago. 

Carrick Ellis has returned after a five year absence, determined to gain possession of the flower for the sake of his new pack. He knows where it is but how to get it back is a problem. A ruthless former alpha and lord isn't going to let him waltz in and take it from his territory. Unless Carrick just happens to be attending the lord's annual ball and has a pretty female on his arm. 

Left with no other choice, he seeks the help of the woman he left behind all those years ago. Who he believes has found happiness with another man. Ilona Bennett. 

It will be a simple deal; she will pretend to be his wife and in exchange he will hand over a precious family heirloom of hers. 

Ilona and Carrick want separate things from this endeavour but is there is something more important both need?

At First Sight by LilWitch726
21 parts Ongoing Mature
Not your average rejection story, usually the boy does something stupid and keeps being stupid and the girl forgives and forgets and gets pulled in by the mate bond - ignoring all his transgressions because 'the bond said too'. Not this time, sometimes fate got it wrong and sometimes you grow out of things; like love. Vivian Clark is a mostly normal girl, as normal as you can be when you're more than eccentric mother is the head of a coven of witches. Something that; according to her, is a long standing tradition and more people need their apothecary than Viv realizes. While Vivian practices magic and identifies as a witch, it's more of a religion than a lifestyle. She doesn't know there are very real powers laying dormant in her bloodline, and very real creatures that not only lurk in the night but often lurk on her doorstep. Trevor Erikson a hot shot jock, playboy, and Mr. Popularity, he could have any girl he wants and often does. Going from one to another and enjoying every minute of it. Besides the fact that he's a werewolf and an alpha's son, he could care less about fated mates or a luna for his pack when he eventually takes it over at the end of the school year. He doesn't take it too well when his fated mate shows up unannounced, and does what any asshole would do. He rejects her at first sight. How will the two manage with a rejection floating between them for the remainder of the school year? ************************************** A fast-paced romance with mature scenes, all based in a fantasy world. If that's your vibe this is your story to read. This is my second work and I had to get it out of my brain cause it's all I could think of while writing a completely different book, there will be slow updates.
