Silence.
Heartbreak.
Pain.
That was all Raelin could remember about her day.
Honestly, she wasn't even sure it wasn't all just a nightmare, a figment of her wild imagination. Everything she thought happened that morning must have been just a really vivid dream, the worst kind possible, but still a dream. The pain she was feeling was real though, too much to bear and definitely too much to process, a harsh proof of what she had to endure.

She had never liked the attention she was given by the pack, be it good or bad, she wanted to be left alone and she prided herself of being almost invisible. It had been hard for the last 17 years but she was almost 18 now and she would finally be free to explore the world outside her pack and maybe even find her mate, something she wasn't sure of wanting though since for all she'd heard it would mean being tied to some random guy who thought just being mates would give him the power of deciding every little thing in her life... No, she definitely couldn't accept a bond like that, she was too strong-willed and had problems even accepting her alpha's orders, her mate would not be able to boss her around.
If you're searching for a story with a kickass, strong willed heroine this is your place. I've had enough of female leads being walked on all over and described as the weakest doormats, always being bossed around by possessive mates and absolutely unable to maintain a single point even when they have every reason to. This is not your ordinary rejected story and I hope you all will enjoy it.
A genetically unique but emotionally lost teenager must figure out who she is within her mixed-up, warring world of Shifters and Wolfstalkers.
*****
It wasn't Maddie's choice to be born a half-breed, half Shifter, half Wolfstalker -- a hunter of Shifters -- and it wasn't her choice to keep her identity a secret. But after trying to attend high school like any normal sixteen-year-old, things quickly spiral south when her Stalker uncle finds out about her and catapults her out of anonymity and into the awareness--or possibly the crosshairs--of The Order of the Wolfstalker. Maddie must think fast and figure out a way to keep herself and her family safe, or risk losing everything. Including her life.
