Meet Emily Russell. She's sarcastic, smart, gorgeous and friendly.      

Meet her best friend Chris Dells. She's hilarious, loud, pretty, and not so friendly.      

Together they can be trouble. They've known each other their whole lives and no one can stop them from having fun. Well, that's what they think.     

Enter Ian Ashford. He's a big egotistical jerk, man-whore, doesn't believe in love, but most of all, plays with girls' hearts. And maybe, just maybe, guys' hearts too.      

Throw in light hearted and even some heated arguments, broken hearts, and jealousy, and you have yourself a pleasant sundae with an added cherry on top.     

But what happens when everyone finds out about the facade you have been putting up, and you realize your pretense isn't as flawless as you had originally thought?     

••••  

Accompany Emily in a thing called her life, as she desperately tries to forget her past and thinks she can run away at a moment's notice.  But in reality, everything reminds Emily of her past, and it starts to look ugly for her.

Who happens to be his packs Alpha. "My name is Gabriel," I bow my head nervously under his stare. His blue eyes piercing through mine. "You're the one I saved, aren't you?" He puts his finger under my chin when I dont look up at him and makes me look at him in the eyes. I shake me head yes. "What's your name, Love?" My heart starts to get pains and butterflies are in my stomach as I look into his cool blue eyes. I open my mouth and try to speak but I couldn't, so I closed it again. "What's your name?" He stiffens, clearly getting agitated. After a long still silence between us he angrily put his hands to his sides.

I walked to the front of the class, looking at all of my classmates in front of me. " Hello everyone. My name is Jessica Meadows and-... " I was interrupted when the door slammed open beside me and I saw the pair of eyes who caused it. " Mate. " Jessica was a normal teenage girl who just wanted to get through her senior year of high school. When she was forced to move that summer to Florida with her aunt and uncle, she starts to notice just how different Florida is from Ohio. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ** Completed! ** This is my first book so feel free to comment your opinions, but keep in mind I wrote this when I just started out. It won't be the best and will be cliche. As I am human: • Misspellings • Grammar errors I wanted to maybe make things different than the other werewolf books so things will be different. Enjoy the book (:
