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.

Accept Me or Reject Me. You Can't Do Both. (First book) (Completed)
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!!
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 2014Complete

Just Two Weeks
"A guy isn't going to care if you're laughing with a dude," he said. "You laugh with friends. You do this with someone who is more than friends." Wolf placed his hands on my waist, pulling me in flush with his body. He dipped his head to my ear and whispered, "See? No one that looked at us right now would think we're friends." ------------------------------- When Savannah's long term boyfriend, Tripp, breaks up with her out of the blue before their annual summer lake vacation, she's devastated. Enter Wolf. He's the son of her parents' best friends, who happen to share a connecting lake condo. Savannah hasn't seen Wolf in two years since he stopped coming on family vacations. He's notorious for trouble, the exact opposite of Savannah. Wolf shows up one day and suggests that they pretend to be in a relationship during their two week vacation. He's convinced that his mom's adoration of "good girl" Savannah will change her mind about his recent house arrest. In exchange, Wolf suggests Savannah can use their fake relationship to lure Tripp back by making him jealous. Savannah is hesitant, but is just desperate enough for Tripp's attention that she agrees. Spending time with Wolf on their pretend dates becomes a problem when Savannah begins to have feelings for him. After all, Wolf is off limits. Her best friend has a major crush on him, and Savannah is supposed to be with someone sensible like Tripp, not the lead singer of the high school rock band, Wolf and the Midnight Shepherds. In the end, Savannah will need to decide if falling for Wolf is worth the consequences.Complete
