The Tate estate holds many family secrets, some more unspeakable than others, but all is veiled for the sake of propriety such is the requirement for such prudent times. Follow the stories of a handful of youths in, both black and white, shackled and free as they experience life in the small confines of their society.   *Wow, that was a pretty cheesy little blurb but please give it a chance, feel free to comment*

Alright, so I wrote this a few years ago and I decided to give it a read over and I am thoroughly disturbed by what I have written. I feel like it needs trigger warnings but even then I feel uncomfortable with the way I have glorified domestic abuse, depression and slave rape. I just wanted to inform whoever has been unfortunate enough to read this that I will be taking it down soon. I think I had good intentions but I was just in a bad space when I was writing this and it is not a good reflection of me at all. I apologize if this story has upset anyone.

"You can't do nothing for yourself?" She shakes her head while looking at her feet, "Look at me and answer me with your words." She slowly looks up, "N-No S-Sir." I walk pass her and she keeps her head down, "Don't just stand there, follow me. I'm taking you back, I didn't sign up for this. I was told to watch over a woman, but I wasn't told that the woman couldn't do anything for herself. Your basically a kid in a grown woman body." I look back at her from the corner of my eye and see a tear sliding down her face. "Are you crying? Why? You couldn't have gotten attached that quick." She keeps her head down and I groan, "Ugh, please stop crying." She wipes her face and sniffle, "Why are you crying?" "Because the old man promised me that you would take care of me. He lied to me, you're taking me back to that place." I throw my head back and close my eyes shut. By old man she means my father. "Okay, okay, okay. Stop crying, I'm not taking you back." ££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££ Niall Andrews is the son of a man who saves people that have been kidnapped.

Previously, My enemies are my mates. Highest ranking in werewolf: #15 Highest ranking in vampire #74 "Who the fûck touched you!?" Tate's eyes turned black and his wolf came to the surface. I opened my eyes in confusion, I clenched my thighs together tightly, riffling vivaciously to try and gain some friction when Kieran banged my hands hard against the headboard once more, causing me to jump in shock and snap back to the situation. "I'm gonna ask one last time Evangeline. Who. The. Fuck. Touched. You?" His wolf was so close to the surface that I could feel it's anger prickling on my skin. Kieran's jaw was clenched tightly as he looked down at me. I couldn't understand a damn word he was saying. My mind had gone to jelly and the only thing I could think of was what Tates fingers felt like so deep inside me. How has my life come to this? Straddled by a man I hardly knew while the others loomed behind him, growling at me and the lust I emitted. I just wanted my family, and this was what I was getting instead. Eva Lockhart was just a normal teenage werewolf, good friends, Daughter to the alpha, the works. But Eva has a secret, one she and her father have protected since the day she shifted, one she never wanted anyone to know; Until one day she meets her mates. Brooding, over bearing and old fashioned in their ways. Council members all four of them. Throw in her two best guy friends falling head over heels in love with her and disaster is bound to overtake. Can she learn to love these men? Or will her first chance at love be snatched from her, when a powerful Ex comes along? After all, true wolves, are hard to contain. **WARNING** Although this story is complete it is currently under major editing which means that their may be some plot wholes from where I haven't edited the most recent chapters. If you're prepared for that then please, read away and enjoy.

Fictional story. When you have been a slave all your life, running and looking over your shoulder is not the way anyone wants to live. But when a girl born into slavery thinks her life cannot get any worse she is suddenly thrown into a different life, one where humans are not the worst monsters out there and she has to not only learn how to survive but how to trive. Hello everyone and thank you for contemplating reading my story. Before you start I would just like to state a few things. Although I have written a few books (Okay 3 books including this one) I mainly write to relax. This is the first time that I will be sharing my writing with others and I have a huge fear of rejections so please be kind in your comments. I welcome all comments even constructive criticism but please don't be nasty about it. Also, Yes you will most definitely find spelling and Grammar mistakes, and I'm apologizing in advance as English is not my first language but I decided to write in English with the hope that my story reaches more readers than it would if I wrote it in my home language of Afrikaans. Having said that I really hope you enjoy the story line and read all the way to the end. This story is a fictional fantasy but contains sex, violence, strong language, rape, abuse, slavery, blood, vampires, warewolved and witches, and reference to slavery and sexual abuse. If you're sensitive about these type of things or you find the above mentioned topics offensive than please do not read any further. If you do enjoy this story please read the follow-up called Hunting Aurora. I have done a lot of research on specific time areas and subject matters and tried to incorporate as much factual info as possible even though all characters are fictional. I do not condole any form of abuse, rape or violence. I would like to thank the people who encouraged me to finally take the next step to upload my work.
