But he shows up and discovers a mystery girl has turned the farm upside down. And he can't figure out why. It also doesn't help that the girl wants to remain a mystery.

"Your reputation as a vigilante will be exposed and above all...your father will die at your hands. All because of your stupidity and selfishness of taking up a mask to wear at night yet you don't even think about the consequences" "What is the proposition?", she muttered under her breath gently. "Oh well, you will stay here with me, in this mansion with me." "Why do you want me to stay here?!", she questioned in confusion. "Do you remember the night before? On the alleyway, you killed my cousin." She choked on her tea as she heard this and tried to hide her laughter."Oh....I'm sorry...but on a serious note, he was not a nice person. He kidnapped and murdered children." He sat next to her and started to talk, "You're right, he deserved it", he chuckled."Please consider the proposition." It's my original story.

Her Younger Mate (Old Version)

After her brother suggests that she should go to her original pack and try her luck, she decides to move there and gets her first job as a high school teacher. She had dreamed about her mate for very long time, but when she finds him, he is nothing like she expected... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "Mr. King, what can I help you with?" "Mate..." He growled... A conflicted look in his eyes. "I knew this would happen, but I told you, we have to wait-" He scoffed, interrupting me. "I Caleb King, re-" Now, I interrupted him... with a kiss. I know I should not be doing this, but I have been looking for him for so long and I just needed to do this... At least once. A real kiss with my mate. I expected him to pull away but he put his hands on my lower back and pulled me closer to him. I could feel sparks and a happiness and tranquility invaded my body. It just felt right and I wanted more, but I knew how this would end. I felt the tears running down my cheeks. I stepped back, interrupting the kiss. He whimpered a little bit and for a second I saw adoration in his eyes, but he pushed it back, giving me a blank stare. "I am sorry. I needed to do this. You can reject me now." He looked a little taken aback. "You were going to reject me. I just thought we both needed to experience this only once. You are the future Alpha, so I should not be the one to break the bond. Please do it now!" I do not why, but I wanted him to do it. After all, he was going to do it before and I did not want a kiss to change his mind. "I Caleb King, reject you Anna Amores as my mate." I think I could hear my heart break in that second. "I Anna Amores, accept your rejection, Alpha, and I wish the best for you, always." I gave him an honest smile... And he left, without looking back... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Complete

Lost in Rose Empire
**Summary:** **Trapped in Alex's grasp, Rose trembled, her tear-streaked face betraying the desperation in her voice. "Please, Alex, leave me alone."** But Alex only watched her with cold amusement, drinking in the sight of her vulnerability. *Even now, she's breathtaking. Damn, her tears only make her more tempting.* He leaned in, his breath ghosting over her skin. "You look stunning with tears," he murmured, pressing her hand against him in a ruthless command. *Suck my dick, Rose, if you want your sister alive.* Disgust flared in her eyes as she yanked her hand away, but Alex was faster-pulling her back, her back flush against his chest. She struggled, but his grip was firm, his warmth unsettling. There was something about his touch, something raw and unspoken, that sent chills down her spine. Rose's voice wavered with hatred and regret. "I should've ended you when I had the chance." Alex chuckled, his lips grazing her cheek before licking away a tear. "Yeah, you should have. But you didn't. And now? Here we are." His touch burned against her waist, igniting something she refused to acknowledge. She despised how well he knew her, how easily he unraveled her defenses. "You can fight me all you want," Alex's voice was a dark promise. "But we both know this thing between us isn't going anywhere." Rose's breath hitched-rage, fear, something else clawing at her. For a fleeting second, she almost gave in. Almost. But the thought of him winning snapped her back to reality. "I won't be like this," she spat, her defiance slicing through the tension. "I won't let you win." Yet, as Alex's grip tightened, a sinister smile played on his lips. *We'll see.*

Miss Me Bastards?
THIS WAS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT WRITING, READ AT OWN RISK! THERE ARE MANY ERRORS, AS MAJORITY OF IT IS UNEDITED. IF YOU WISH TO READ A MORE PUNCTUALLY AND GRAMMATICALLY CORRECTED BOOK CHECK OUT 'Caine's Love' Katy Rose is the name. Rejection is what her life consists of. Rejected by her family: dad, mum, cousin. Rejected by her pack. Rejected by her Mate: known as Alpha of the Blue Moon pack goes by the name Alex Stone. Rejected by her school peers. The day Katy ran away and had enough was the day she made a promise to herself. 'I will be back. With a new life. I will make everyone regret what they put me through. I will come back strong not weak.' That very day she met a new pack: her family, who trained Katy and helped Katy get back on her feet. Soon enough she realised that pack known as the Midnight Moon pack was her family. How does she react when she finds out a secret that could change her life? What does she do to protect her loved ones? Sequel: 'Rise of the Royal Wolf', read this book before reding the next otherwise you will not understand a thing!
