They said the fire took him. But fire doesn't just take-it shows you things you don't want to see.
I can still feel the smoke in my chest, and I can't stop thinking about the smell. It was the kind of smell that sticks with you, even when you don't want it to. I know what I saw that night. I know what they did. They think I forgot, but I haven't. I remember everything-the way things twisted and turned.
The fire may have eaten him, but it also opened my eyes to a lot of stuff I didn't know before. Stuff about truth, about guilt, about how messed up everything really is. And one big, ugly lie that we're all stuck in.
My name is Elias Moore, and this isn't a story about forgiveness or moving on. It's about revenge. It's about broken promises and all the things we hide in the dark. But trust me, this story isn't going the way you think it will.

Mated With The Enemy
I didn't think, why would I when rarely anything bad happened or any repercussions were given. I was the princess after all, the heiress to my father's pack.

I was a tough bitch that didn't take shit from anyone...well before. My world fell apart when I rejected my mate, the Alpha from our enemy pack. He was really sweet, following and protecting me all the time. Like I didn't have enough protection already. But it all changed after I finalized the rejection. He changed into a savage beast. We, my pack and I, were now his number one target.Complete
A Love Like War (Jalex)
Alex was lost. Not in a figurative way, though. He was literally lost in a forest, with no idea how he got there. Last thing he remembered, Jack had been at the hospital after literally every trace of any human activity there seemed to be erased. This was the same Jack that he had believed to be dead just a week before. The same Jack he had cried nightly over after those dicks at school had basically murdered him. And he was shoving his way through the branches and leaves in the hopes of finding Jack, yet he had literally no idea where he was. The only thing on his mind at the moment was how happy he would feel when he finally got to embrace Jack and tell him how much he loved him and missed him. He was thinking of how he would kiss him and how he would probably cry again, but for the first time in a long time, he would be crying out of joy instead of despair.Complete

That little girl that trusts me with her life, that beautiful little girl that made me hold on and not give up on life. That little girl, whose father is standing in front of me right now. He's my mate. The edges of his lips curve and he looks up and down as if checking me out. "Long time no see." Are the words that first come out of his mouth that break the silence. ~~~~~~~~~~ Lexie is an Alpha's daughter.

Thirst
Pain. Everywhere. I could hardly breathe. But still, I forced myself to stay awake. I couldn't risk falling asleep. I looked at the small cage he had put me in, and sighed to myself. I felt my eyes lose their yellow colour, and go back to my usual colour, hazel. It wasn't easy, being taken away from your family at a young age, and being changed. Into a monster. I didn't know exactly what I was, but I even scared myself when he took me to the woods to hunt, like he just had. I wish he would just let me die. But he wouldn't. Every day, he told me that I was his most precious valuable, and he couldn't let me go. But that doesn't stop my small fantasy of him letting me die. Nothing ever would. That was the thing that I wanted most in the world. That and one more thing. Blood.Complete
The Big bad alpha and the rogue (complete)
My Alpha barged into my room and started speaking softly but very threateningly, "you didn't make dinner, Why is that? Do you want to die tonight. There is already fighting and we haven't got anything to distract him with!" And with that he was on top of me, beating me senseless. I screamed, hoping maybe this visiting Alpha was kind enough to help me. I heard footsteps and smelled a familiar smell. "Help!"

¿How far are you willing to go? {Book 4} (Old Version) Being renewed
A body swam above me as he moved toward me, oh for heaven sakes! Even stuck in a bottom of the pool I had the disgrace to be saved by him again? What was he even doing here in the first place? Was he stalking me or something? Oh God, I had a stalker like in the movies. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me up but my body didn't move an inch. I pushed him away from me and shook his shoulders as I pointed down at my stuck foot. He swam down and tried to unhook the bracelet but he couldn't. He pushed himself up and I thought that he had given up on me. I thought he was a rapist, now that I blew his cover it was a perfect way to get rid of me. I'm going to save myself, I don't need him anyways. I hovered and struggled to get it out. How did this even happen? I was pushed as jerk face returned, my head leaned back as he swam toward me and sneaked his arms around my waist to bring me forward. He plastered our mouths together to give me mouth to mouth breathing and the bracelet suddenly unhooked by itself. The fuck the ancestors think they're doing?Complete
