TJ is a refugee. She was raised to endure the horrors that now lurk the night out in the open. Trained to face those kind of fears, to run and hide, to stay off the grid. But when her brother died everything changed. Left alone, with no one to run with, things were not looking too great. TJ finds herself joining society, being locked inside an orphanage, wanting wishing, to be back on the outside where it was safer, more natural feeling. But instead she is forced to join the way of society once again, to follow their rules. TJ struggles with trying to protect herself and trying to find a way to fit in.
The past always finds a way on creeping up with us though. Secrets that TJ has kept buried deep are uprooted, lies exposed, truths spread. But even though she was hurt and burned many times, she still finds a way to forgive. When a new situation desperately needs TJ's help, asking her to once again leave everything she knows to help a young innocent life, she goes. But not everything is as safe as it had seemed.
Mates, my parents told me that it would make me happy, ecstatic, over-joyed, excited, and anything but sadness and rejection. And I got the exact opposite of what they said it would be like.
After Dylan's parents die by saving her life, Dylan is treated like a rat you find in your house. She is yelled at, insulted, abused and mistreated. So Dylan hopes that her mate will save her from this place. That he will take her away from this place and cherish her. But she didn't expect that her mate would be Ryan, the future Alpha. The one who had hurt her the most in the past. So after getting publicly rejected in front of the whole school she leaves the pack, vowing to never return to this place as the same girl.
And she completed that vow when she returns back to save them from rogues with her new pack who she considers family, a completely different person. But with her wolf still trying to get over Ryan, will she be able to withstand Ryan who wants her. He seems to be everything that she wanted in the past, but is that what she wants now?
