"You're not at all who I thought you were."

"Life is full of surprises, Aubie. The sooner you realize that, the better."

~-~-~-~

Harrison Skinner is the school's "bad boy". 
He has girls literally throwing themselves at him left and right. 
Typical bad boy.

But there's more than meets the eye with Harrison. 
No one sees this other side of him. 
And no one will. 
That's one thing he's determined of.


A few days before the new school year starts back up, a beautiful girl with auburn hair and curiously inviting emerald eyes moves in, inadvertently drawing attention to herself in this small town.


It's their senior year, and Aubrey Moore just wants to get through it to move on to bigger and better things, out of this temporary place. With a set goal in mind, no one, and nothing can detour Aubrey from her plan.

Study. Make good grades. Be perfect child. Graduate. Move out.

But when school's "bad boy", Harrison, and his little gang of players, try to unravel this mystery of a girl, she just seems immune to their usual charm. Instead of swooning she throws back sarcastic comments and sassy remarks.


This is the other thing Harrison is determined about. Getting the girl.

No, not any girl.

This girl.

Then a boy steps out from the crowd, standing between me and the office. He looks to be the same age as me and has startling golden hair hanging limply over a tan face. I couldn't tell yet what he was but I guessed a werewolf because he wasn't completely repulsive. It is also completely obvious that he is the bad boy of the school. He smirks at me. "Now who do we have here?" He says in a deep voice. Unfortunately for him, I am completely player proof. I don't know whether it's just me or what I am, but I never fall for bad boys. I roll my eyes,"I don't see how it's any business of yours" I say placing a hand on my hip. He grins at me,"feisty! I like it. But still, I believe you are trespassing". "Actually, I'm a student and I have to sign in so if you don't mind" I say starting to walk past him. But he sticks his thick, muscular arm in front of me so that I run straight into it. His forearm digs into my collar bone and I slowly turn my head to him and growl. "Move" I growl at him. He smirks, "Make me". ******** Ella Foster is a special breed of werewolf that possesses unique powers. These powers drew the hunters to her and killed her parents.
