For a long time Florence DiMaggio was comfortable living her life not socializing with people that weren't immediately close to her, she hadn't planned to change because she didn't mind keeping to herself. Life was predictable, stable, and most of all, safe. 

Her family, one friend, her cats, and her 80's music was all she had for a while, until a certain guy stepped into her life and twisted everything she thought she wanted all around until she wasn't sure what she wanted anymore. But she knew one thing, this guy was not letting her go so easily.

This is a story about finding more to the world around you and overcoming life's greatest challenges. With a little love, discomfort, and some secrecy in the mix who knows what could happen.

----------------------------------------
I started writing this story a while ago, but now I've come back to it with renewed vigor. With that being said, I've edited the parts I already wrote to align more with what I have in mind for this story now. I encourage you to read the story from the beginning if you started reading it a while ago then stopped and are now coming back to it. I am absolutely excited about where this story could go and I would love for you to take the journey with me.

Suddenly, I feel a hand that intertwines mine. The touch is warm but still not enough to comfort me after the news I've just got. I feel someone is leading me out of the office. Nothing is really clear to me. I barely see my parents, Julie and Eli's face as the hand keeps on pulling me away from them. No more links with Elijah. I don't know if I closed my mind or if he did. But I can't feel him anymore. My feet follow the lead. I raise my head and I see that the Prince is calmly leading me to the stairs. Before we start to climb the stairs, I feel a hand on my lower back while the other is still intertwined with mine. The Prince looks at me and no emotions can be read on his face. Does he have a heart? Can lycan love as gently as wolves? A wolf would be difficult to live with as a human. How is it going to work with a lycan? Is it even possible? I've never heard of such a thing. What has Moon Goddess done? Olivia is the daughter of the Blue Lakes Pack's Alpha and twin sister of the soon-to-be Alpha. Despite her Alpha bloodline, Olivia never got the chance to meet her wolf. Without a wolf, Olivia has the choice to stay in her pack or travel the world and live among humans. But the day she turns 20, when her brother becomes the new Alpha, nothing goes as expected. When some rebellious wolves threaten to attack, the Royal Lycan Family decides to send one of the Princes to take care of the situation. What happens when a kind Wolf-less girl meets a mysterious Lycan Royal Prince? One thing is sure: Olivia's journey will not be the one she expected.

UPDATED WEEKLY He finally released my legs, allowing me to slide down his body until my feet hit the floor, but that was as far as he let me go. Heat was radiating off him scorching me all the way down my spine as he held me tightly against him. His quick breaths were falling on the back of my neck with a tingling warmth that brought goosebumps to the surface of my skin. Placing one large hand on my shoulder, he wrapped my long brown hair around his other. Gently, he tugged on my dark mane, pulling my head to the side and exposing the tender column of my neck. Bringing his nose down to the crook there, he inhaled deeply, a rumbling "mmmm" escaping his lips. My mouth went dry. "Are-" I swallowed. "Are you going to mark me?" I manage in a stuttered whisper. Book Blurb: Dr. Willa Grey has developed a little bit of a performance problem... Willa has a plan for how she wants to spend her life. She even fought for a rare opportunity to attend human medical school. Unfortunately for Willa, the time among humans denying her wolf instincts has had dire consequences that could ultimately mean her life. Even worse, her homecoming falls on the eve of the Blue Moon Summit, when she will not only have to face her pack leaders but also some of the most powerful leaders from around the world, and she is terrified they could sniff out the truth. Just as she fears she could possibly lose her pack, and everything she has worked for, a chance encounter with a mysterious wolf on the night of the full moon ignites her mate bond and stirs her dormant wolf. Who is her mystery mate, and will he be her liberator or persecutor?

"You were worried about me, Specs?" He smirked. "No, Tyler. I hoped that someone cut up your corpse and fed it to paranas. Obviously I was, you idiot! I'm a doctor. Worrying about people is kind of programmed into my system. It's a curse if you ask me," I surprised myself a lot more than I thought was possible with my answer. And what did he do? Laugh! He fucking laughed! Not full on rolling- on- the- floor laughter but a laugh nonetheless. "This isn't funny, Tyler." "It kind of is. Almost a month ago, I would've sworn that you hated me. Be careful, Specs," he squinted down at me, "or you might actually sound as if you like me." I rolled my eyes. "Don't flatter yourself. I was concerned. Don't confuse that with affection. It's two very, very different things." *** When you think that all is not lost in the world. That not all men are pricks and that not all sushi is bad. When you think that there is a light, no matter how dim, at the end of the tunnel. When you think that life isn't the ruthless bitch you've always thought it was... It turns around and bites you in the ass. When you think that the past will always and forever remain where it should be... It comes at you from every direction. Like a violent tsunami destroying everything...and everyone in it's path. Can you change what happened? I wish. Can you stop what's going to happen? God! I really hope so.

Have you ever sunk so low that you actually felt relieved, knowing that it couldn't possibly get any worse? Well, I have... Many times. I lost everything. My family, my future, my home... I swore I would never depend on anyone ever again. And he swore nothing will ever tie him down. He told me he has ghosts. I told him I have fears. We agreed. We were eachother's impending death. And yet I fell for him, slowly and deeply, until I didn't know how to be without him. And he fed on me, gently and steadily, until he didn't know how to let me go. They said he'll never stay. Yet, here he is. I said my heart will never break. Yet, here I am. My name is Alison Lewis, and all I want is to start over. #thewattys2021 Shortlist and #FEATURED on Wattpad Chicklit, New Adult, Romance and Psychological Novel #official reading lists.

Everything I ever had and known was taken away from me. My family, my life, my identity, everything. Alpha Kannon was the main reason for it. He tortured me for years and over the years, I've grown more afraid of him, but it will never amount to how much he fears me and what I am or was capable of. He was afraid of us Lycans but never let it show. The only reason I'm alive is because of my wolf but even she holds fear to him. I thought he would eventually kill me and at times I would even welcome the idea.. That is until HE found me.. Until HE saved me. NOT A PERMANENT DESCRIPTION.
