" It gets lonely out here on my own. Every noise I hear gives me a moment of hope. Hope that there may be someone out here just as lonely and stranded as me. But there's nobody. I'm stuck in this life. Stuck stealing. Stuck alone. Stuck running. Stuck hopeless. "
Home is a word that Ivy Ralph hasn't used in a long time. As a seventeen year old rogue she has lived a hard life. Hiding and running everyday for her very life leaves Ivy alone and empty. She longs for a life filled with friends and love and hope; something far away from the life she's living. Will her journey continue to be nothing more than a struggle for survival or will she finally find a place where she can live a real life? A place she can call home. And how will she know if she has found it?

Excerpt: "You smell like wolf," The King Alpha declared, his voice low and angry. "I killed one," I both explained the smell and threatened at the same time. "And you think you can kill me? You think you can take my pack?" I glanced around at all the lycans still in their wolf forms, bowing obediently towards me. Could I take all of them on? I doubted it. I didn't even think I'd get this far. I didn't even know what was going on. When I turned back to the King Alpha, he was significantly closer. "Stay back!" I cried out in fear. The power flared within me once more, lifting whimpers from around me. The King Alpha hesitated again, his eyes skating over me with confusion. He took a deep breath, sniffing the air around me as he hadn't yet gotten any closer. "You smell like... my mate." {{Warning: Some scenes may be unsuitable for audiences below the age of 15 and offensive to those of all ages.
