Then one day Emma gets detention with the one and only Dylan Evans. You could say he's a bad boy. He punches anyone who pisses him off, sleeps around with every girl he meets, doesn't attend school, and is in trouble 99.9% of the time. And of course Emma can't stand him. During detention there teacher assigns them a project for them to do together over the next couple of weeks. Emma is furious. So what happens when Emma soon realizes there is more to Dylan than that meets the eye? ****WARNING**** There are some strong language in this story. This story does have a lot of mistakes, I will fix them at the end of the book. -Please read my book. Sorry I suck at descriptions. You won't regret reading my book! ****** ALL THINGS IN THIS STORY ARE FICTION. I DID NOT COPY ANY OF THIS STORY FROM OTHER STORY'S. ALL THINGS IN THIS STORY THAT ARE LIKE OTHER STORY ARE COMPLETELY COINCIDENTAL!

Human Males/Were Females: Case Study Synopsis by cynicalchristian

The current tropes for werewolves doesn't really fit the way most guys think, so as a mental exercise, here's a ton of shorts on how meeting your mate would affect human males. - 1st chapter is an in-world synopsis, so it's difficult to follow, but it breaks down how mates find each other. - Concrete Thinker is an excerpt from a pioneer era journal. - Artistic Soul follows a male's thoughts through life on the same day each year. - Terrorized is a male who is in therapy because he's been bit by a werewolf. - Nerd meets his mate at Mechacon. - The Lost is a fb excerpt of a male who never mated. - Normal is about an abuse case who wants a normal life but instead gets werwolves. - The Player is the only fully female perspective. It's about how she got her mate to reject her without revealing she's a werewolf. - Stereotyped is the type of male young were females hope they get. - Incel is severe immaturity in group form. - Monotony is a tired rich playboy. - Misogyny is about an arrogant boxer whose mate is better. - Husband Material is about a man who will not be shaken off "the one", not even by a Civil War era African Alpha whose territory the couple is invading. - Desperation is about finding your mate after you are happily married. - Curmudgeon is about a grumpy tech who momentarily fails his own moralizing lectures. - Costly is an eccentric multi-millionaire who finds out his secretary is a secret agent werewolf. - Old Faithful is about a Civil Rights era African American human who grew up protected in an Alabama pack, who meets his mate on an interview about his memories of the era. Very lightly handled. ~~~ I don't really do trigger warnings. Consider yourself warned. Editing and formatting complete. Shouldn't have much to correct.

Accept Me or Reject Me. You Can't Do Both. (First book) (Completed) by RissaleWriter

A/N: Just as a reminder. I am not a cliche person. I do do cliche topics but they all have a Rissa twist. Check it out, and I hope ya'll enjoy. __________________________________________________ He is the Alpha. I am the "runt". He is night. I am day. He is popular. I am the nerd. He likes me as his best friend. I love him more than that. When I found out that he was my mate, I was ecstatic and worried. Worried why? Well because, I Sam Carter was not something that people would call "mate" material and with too much baggage that I don't let on. So, when my mate told me that he didn't know if wanted me or not because I didn't "shift", I did the only thing I could think of. I left. And, on that journey, I learned more about myself, found some great friends, made some enemies, and learned about so called grandmother that was the same as me. He could either accept me or reject me, and he didn't choose yet. I don't know. Maybe I will choose for him, and I was sure that he wasn't going to like the answer. _______________________________________ NOTE: IF YOU READ THIS BOOK ON ANY OTHER APP BESIDES WATTPAD THEN IT IS COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.

Reject me??? Bring it!! by starc16

WARNING: Bad language!!! Having your heart ripped out by the one person who's suppose to love you forever, isn't good right? Imagine that one man, destroying a sweet innocent girl I use to be, and putting one bad b**ch in her place. ------------------------------- My names Carson and to say I was a helpless good girl would be an understatement. I was the first one in the classroom each day, plus I was the first one made fun of. Its good to be a good girl until you add in a twist... and my twist is.... my alpha mate!? -------------------------------- Being next in line for Alpha has its perks. Such as hot women throwing themselves at me constantly. So why did the one women that's supposed be my other half have to be ugly, weak, and a waste of space? The moon goddess must have lost her mind if she thinks that ima let Carson be Luna of my pack. =============================================================== Copyright Starc16 2014

Abnormal Little Me (Completed) by PetiteLouve

"You actually thought you could get away from me, didn't you, Rishka?" I turned around, shaking. Sadist was standing there, a creepy smile on his face. No, this wasn't real, I was safe. He chuckled coldly. "You really think you have a soul-mate? Be realistic, no one wants you. A broken wolf, soiled by another one. Who would love such a thing? You're still unable to change to your wolf form. Are you even allowed to be call a werewolf? Come back here and maybe I'll be lenient." No, I have a soul-mate. He loves me. He told me. I believe him. "Don't be stupid. If he exists, where is he? You're all alone here. Nobody is coming to save you." **************** When she was growing up, Lyra only had one dream: to see the stars. Now that she is older, she traded it for another one: to die. Even if she was rescued, was she really saved? Scars don't fade easily but her soulmate will make sure she can heal, even if it means not being by her side. Clichés I have broken: √ Main character is special √ Main character's soulmate is the King √ Main character was abused √ Happy ending (Tell me if I forgot something and, damn, I did not expect to be so cliché D: ) Clichés I have NOT broken: √ Main character is rejected by her soulmate √ Main character rejects her soulmate √ Main character gets pregnant √ Main character's soulmate is the "bad boy" or "cruel" type √ "Mine"/ "Mate" he growled. So if you want to read a story without these, you're in the right place! **************** Thanks to Distinctive for the amazing cover! I love it so much (It's my iPod's background) <3 Don't let the number of chapters scare you, they are only about 1000 words each. This is my first story so comments will be much appreciated. Love you all :) Also, if you ever have trouble with the weird names I gave my characters, there is a video of me saying their names in chapter 26. My accent is weird on it, blame that on the fact that I'm French-Canadian :P

The Lycan's Origin Series: The 1st Lycan Alpha by SecretBookworm14

KNOWN PREVIOUSLY AS HE RAPED ME...BECAUSE OF MATE PREVIEW: It's all but silent when it's over. I'm left alone in the woods. I don't have the strength to get up. So I curl into a ball, hugging my knees to my chest, sobbing, and yowling as I've never done before. Red hot blood seeps from between my thighs unto the leaves beneath me, taking my virtue along with it. A fowl reminder of the atrocious act just done to my once untouched body. In the very far distance, I hear a wolf howl into the night, the sound is haunting, sounding in as much agony as I am in. *.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.* Rape, Blood, Secrets, a Cult, Rituals, Sacrifice, Betrayal, Death, and a Tragic Love Triangle is the recipe for a new species yet to be discovered. Will one girl be able to handle all thrown her way? Or will she let the darkness consume her into the monster she is foretold to become? *.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.* WARNING: This book is Rated R for a reason, there are explicit sexual scenes, mature themes, and provocative language. There are also some difficult subjects I tackle in my book, so if you are not comfortable with these sorts of topics, I suggest you go no further than here. For all my past readers, welcome back!! To the new and improved version! Boy, do I have a rollercoaster of a journey for you to tag along on. Some names have been changed and the plot thickened, so get ready.

Hybrid's Hollow by ImmortalKissvv

Supernatural creatures are real. They are a part of the world now, instead of hiding in the shadows. They want to belong. Will they? When Davyna's mother is killed protecting her from a vampire attack at their home, she vows never to be weak or unprepared again when it comes to ANY supernatural. But when her father is chosen to oversee the integration and safety of the human race within the new world, Davyna is forced to be in the absolute last place she ever wanted to be - and although she sees some good in these creatures, she struggles to accept being among them harmoniously, and chooses to close herself off to most. That is, until she meets a certain werewolf and vampire. As wars brew, secrets arise, and identities are discovered, will Davyna rise up and embrace her place in the supernatural world? Or will she abandon it all for a life of revenge and isolation, that's only filled with pain and intense hate? ______________________________________ [COMPLETED JANUARY 9th, 2021] [18+, some mature content/themes, sex, swearing.] [Sexual themed chapters will be labelled with a disclaimer, and have been written in a way that you can skip these scenes if you prefer.] [Kindness is greatly appreciated!

Save me! (Boyxboy) by 1769sharon

I let out another silent whimper as I curled up tighter into myself. When will he stop this time? I already gave up wishing that he would finally kill me. He never has yet. He was too smart for that. ----- Jayden Parker had anything but a normal life. His mom passed in a freak accident when he was 7. That was 10 years ago now he is 17 but is very small for his age. He is 5'6 and under weight he has blondish red hair and is pale. He lives with his dad in a small rundown house on the outskirts of town. He is constantly abused by his father for small mistakes and has turned to self harm to feel better. If that's not bad enough people at school calls him a freak and bullies him at school for being gay. He was also a voluntary mute and hasn't spoke for 6 years. ----- Ethan Davis is alphas son and soon to be alpha when he finds his mate on his 18th birthday. His pack is one I the largest in the U.S. and he has the pressure of running it but luckily he will have his mate by his side. That is if he finds him or her and gets their acceptance. What he didn't expect was his mate to be a weak mute boy that everyone bullies. How can he be the mate to an alpha and help run a pack that's so large?! - (WARNING don't read if you against boyxboy. This is for mature audiences as it will contain sexual content harsh words and self harm which may be a trigger for some people!!!)
