Broken by her Mate's Rejection, Alyvia ran away from her Pack and even left her Brother not knowing anything.

Tired, Hungry, Hurt and Thirsty, Alyvia does not know where she was. She was lost and couldn't think of anything else but Cry.

She cried, Until sleep overtakes her, And she laid limp and weak on the ground.

-

Confused, She woke up in a Comfortable and soft place, She jolted awake and roamed her wide eyes all over the Place. She was confused and Utterly stunned.

The smell of Chocolate, Wood and trees mixed together hit her nose, It was the most beautiful smell she had ever smelt in her Entire life. It was a Mixed scent, Yet Satisfying.

Suddenly the door opened and she was lost in her own world, Looking at the Stunning Man in-front of her, Holding a Bowl of Soup on the other hand and a Water in the other.

But she got pulled out from her thoughts after hearing the Man's word.

"Mate."

As secrets unravel and fears resurface, she must confront her darkest moments and find the strength to rise above them.

The Scarlet Hunter by elizamoth22

Isla returns home after a violent attack that left her recovering in the hospital. She has spent the last four years living near another pack. On the verge of making a decision that would separate her from her pack forever, she decides to accept an invitation from her brother to spend the summer on the territory that she was born and raised on. In her exile, her birth pack had been taken over by Alpha Alec's Dark Moon. The new pack's warriors now inhabit the territory of her youth. With a reputation of having no remorse in killing large swaths of wolves in packs they take over, it was amazing that her family survived the attack. And furthermore, her brother invited her back. There has to be more to the situation than the folklore shared with her before she left. She was jumping in with both feet and would either get to see this new pack or run away again. This time for good. A/N: This is a beloved story to me. I have published it here in its entirety because I would rather share something I love than commercialize and monetize it.

Only Girl In The World (Completed) by LaraRuze

*A Wattpad exclusive story* *Unique plot* *Not a typical werewolf rejection story* ~ What Jacob has made her into? How is she to fight the beasts and save her people when she's herself one! ~ "You're my mate, and you know I can't let you go, Belle," Jacob's voice, his breaths were soon fanning down the back of her neck, signaling that he had stepped much closer to her again. "We can't let you go. You're our precious princess..., we can't live without you. I love you, Belle, we all love you!" Jacob's breath tickling across the back of her neck made her shudder in pleasure. This uncontrollable sense of pleasure, warmth, and... love, all made her want to stay back, forget yet again what she had just remembered, and go back to the days she didn't have her memories - her past. "I want to stay," was her slow murmur. Jacob breathed in relief, almost. Because her next words then crashed him down, completely. "But... I can't, because you don't lie to who you call your precious, Jacob. You don't lie to who you love." Her voice was back to cold again and so was her resolve. Holding her arm frantically, Jacob whirled her around to face him. "I can give you anything," he looked desperate and on the brink of insanity. "I will give you anything, do everything that you tell me to, just name it." Kristin didn't jerk away from his hold this time, she looked at him searching, calculating. All in a freezing way. "Then I ask you to let me go." He knew this was the final nail of this coffin, the coffin that would hold his love. Infinite howls echoed around in the woods, as the pack grieved, for their only girl - who'd, at last, remembered her past and rejected the life they gave her. She would leave them, and they knew their world would never be the same again. But they had yet to discover that from the ashes now something momentous shall rise. ''
