Ben:
"There's no point in fighting with you, is there?" My boss asked, dejectedly. I stay silent. I'm making my way through life. I've got Aiden and Rosa to take care of and I'm doing fine. We're getting by and Rosa's having a good childhood. And that's what matters. As long we can keep Rosa happy and healthy, I don't really care. 

I'm an 18 year old boy, still in high school with a part-time job and a family to take care of. I can be reckless and rash and sometimes I might not be thinking straight. But I'll decide what's best. I'm their guardian and I'll do what I think is right. I've made it so far. I'm sure I can go a little further.

Aiden:
I put my head down on the desk, my arms covering my head as I cried. I don't want to become like our father; the same father Rosa luckily never met.  I don't want her to be scared of me.  I don't know if I'll be angry at her again. I don't deserve her but I don't want to let her go. The one person that can destroy my world and I'm scared she might be afraid of me.

"Aiden has his priorities straight unlike most people our age. Sure he goes fucking around half the time, but family is always his first priority. Rosa is his first priority," He emphasized. "We're the only thing that's keeping him grounded. Imagine what his life would be like if we weren't here." He would be destroying himself if anything happened. And he's only 15.

Rosa:
Rosa is sweet and good-natured and almost always happy. She learnt her manners early and always used them. She's smart for her age and is always eager to learn new things and if she doesn't understand anything, she'll tug on our jeans to explain. She has never had a hassle with anything, making it easier for Ben and I to raise her.

Rosa sat with me outside, talking about nothing in particular. I love sitting and just chatting with Rosa. She has a big imagination and always makes stories in her mind. It might be a small story about a ladybug or an entire biography of a fox.

I quickly wiped my eyes making my way back into the auditorium, we had to finish blocking Romeo and Juliet. "Oh Haley?" "Hmm?" "Want to go out later? I mean so I can monitor you." Aiden asked sticking his hands in his pocket and shifting his weight. "Monitor me?" "Yeah no relapsing right? " He said giving me a grin. " Sure. I'll just text my mom to let her know, that I'm getting food with you to do lines, and to contact my therapist. Well maybe not in that order, I don't want her to worry." "You're handling this really well." "Well it's happened before, and this time I'm not going to lose anybody." "You got this,stay strong." "Sometimes I think I'm a loose brick on a castle. I feel like I'm expected to be perfect and if I'm not the whole castle will collapse." "So you're like the cement?" "Sure?" "That was an awful attempt at a deep conversation, just saying." "Gee thanks. Once a jerk always a jerk." "You're still going out with me right? " "Of course this is a sappy teenage romance novel. So the naive girl always goes with the jerk." I said rolling my eyes. "I would not be that. I was thinking something like Prince Charming or a star crossed lover." "Well if we would hurry and go in, you would be able to play one." "Oh right." ~*~ Haley Willaims was the girl everyone wanted to be, Student Council president, head cheerleader Valedictorian,you know everything. Until one night everything comes crashing down.

Standing in the middle of the road, in the middle of the night, drenched from a slight shower from above, seemed like the best option I had left. With only a flickering street light casting light a metre ahead of me, you would probably think I was crazy. But I wasn't always, I used to be a normal girl, with a future I thought I chose and a life I thought I controlled. But this isn't where the story begins, let me take you back a week and you can see how normal I was. My name is Olivia, I'm 18 years old and I just started my first year at college. I have a younger brother and sister, twins, who are 14 years old and in high school. My parents are 48 and 46 and are highly regarded lawyers. Which means they go on a lot of business trips, leaving me to look after my siblings. Which isn't bad, they're not hard to look after as they're in high school. I have a part time job as a Bartender to help pay for college, my parents thought it would teach me responsibility, as if looking after two teenagers wasn't enough responsibility to begin with. You see, bartending isn't a hard job, but it's not exactly all happy go lucky or rainbows and lollipops either. Sometimes it's really exhausting, you have to deal with rude customers and do the jobs no one else wants to do. That's where this story begins, at work. That's where I met him.....Hunter. I was bent over, on my knees......picking up crap that the previous group of customers had left for me, when he walked up behind me. It wasn't exactly great, or amazing. Though as I soon came to realise, it wasn't the mess Hunter thought was amazing. It was my ass. So come along with me on this outrages ride, through the ups and downs, the laughter and the tears of this crazy journey. After all that's what this thing we call life is, right? For what is life......without consequences.

"Why are you doing this? Why did she put me up with some slut?" he snarled getting in my face. "You are no fit to be a Luna. I should just reject you right now." My face was blank as I looked at him. "You have no idea how wrong you are," I replied. "And go ahead and reject me. It'll not phase me one bit. I had not planned on joining a pack or having a mate." With that, I started to walk away, before I turned back and glaring at him. "Also, get to know me first. You might be surprise as to what I can offer." And with that, I walked out of Starbucks, upset that I didn't get pa- I mean... laid. At least... I smirked pulling out my mate's wallet from the back of my skirt and looking at it. I did get his money. ______________________________________________________________ Skylar Ross, mainly known as Sky, hasn't had the best of pasts. To begin with, she is half human and half wolf. Her father, the Alpha of her old "pack" was mated to a human and had her. "A mistake" as her father puts it. "Not worthy to be the Luna of her pack". So what'd he do? Abuse her, torture her, rape her, etc. and made her watch him kill her mother, his mate. At the age of five, she ran away with her best friend, not wanting to stay there anymore after her mother had been killed. With the help of some rogues, the two females had mastered fighting at a young age. And by the time they were 8, Sky started a group of rescuing those that were abused, just as she was.

With him and her group, her whole life changes as she fights to be the Luna as her father had thought was not possible for the half-breed. A/N: I suck at descriptions. -.-

Book #3 in The Fire series BLAKE RIVERA "You're the leader of a gang." Aiden yells. I look up at him. "You don't think I know that?" I yell back. "I am doing everything I can to protect my people!" "Your people are being murdered. You're in a war you don't even know is happening." "I know what's going on out there. I know what's happening." "Then why aren't you doing anything to stop it?" I slam my hands on the desk and stand up. "I am doing everything I can!" I yell anger laced in my voice as it flowed through my veins. Suddenly the lights went out; a flashing red light comes on as alarms sound. "You need to do more." Aiden says. "Otherwise this. It's never going to stop." "They're attacking." I realize. "They're always attacking. And they're not going to stop until we're dead." "Or surrender." I mumble and Aidens head snaps up to look at me. "You won't. You can't." "No, what I can't do is kill Felix." "The man you loved isn't there anymore. Can't you see that? He's gone. A monster wears his skin. What's it going to take before you realize that?" I shake my head. "Evacuate. Make sure everyone gets out of here. No one dies today." "Well, someone should. And we both know who it needs to be." Aiden says before he leaves the room. I know Aiden is right, but I can't kill Felix, even if he keeps trying to kill me. I shake my head and sit back down. Just because everyone else was leaving didn't mean I had to also. Maybe I can talk some sense into him. I sigh. I've tried to already, but maybe this time it will be different. Maybe I should tell him the truth. Maybe I should tell him Nadia is his daughter. The door to my planning room is thrown open but I stay seated. I look up as men flood into the room, soon followed by Felix. His emotionless eyes find mine and he cocks his gun. "You should have run with the others."
