**Old story, collecting dust on my shelf, and looking for some fresh eyes :) **

If the world wasn't falling apart, 17-year old Dani Clarke would be living a normal life as a teenager on Manitoulin Island. But years of savage storms have done a lot to change things. They've left most plant life and water sources dried up in the drought that's followed. They've decimated the world's populations, first with famine, then with global and civil wars fought over dwindling resources. They've made people like Dani refugees within their own countries. And according to Canada's new Sponsored Cities Act, refugees have to earn their chance to survive.

When she and her family seek asylum in London, Ontario, Dani learns the price she has to pay for her family's safety and her own: a two-year term of service as a Sentry, one of the scouts deployed with the military supply convoys that travel between government-sponsored cities through the treacherous No Man's Land that separates them. Alongside fellow Sentries and allies among their convoy's soldiers, Dani struggles against brutality on both sides of the city walls, hoping to live to see things come back from the brink.

What none of them realize is that this is only the beginning. The people living in No Man's Land, known as outliers, aren't as scattered and helpless as they're believed to be. They've organized, and they have their own plans to survive. Even if it means shattering what's left of the country to do it.All Rights Reserved

Outcasts by KatJWarren

Cassidy lives like most other under 21s - she follows the law. She knows that if she doesn't, she risks being taken away. Rebellious behaviour cannot be tolerated under any circumstances, especially with her parents watching her every move. The rules have been in place for a long time - the Democrats have beaten the Republicans in the New Elections for the past 60 years, with their names being the only recognisable aspects of their parties when comparing to the past. Anyone that chooses not to follow the rules can drop out and become what's known as an Outcast, but then you risk being imprisoned. While America seems to be running perfectly under these laws, a rebellion is stirring among the professionals. With secrets and lies in government and families alike to change the future of America forever, Cassidy finds herself caught up in the middle of the all out war that is about to break out. What she thought she knew about her world is about to change forever, bringing everyone she knows down with her. DISCLAIMER 2016/2017: This book is a few years old at this point, and due to the political uproar in American in 2016 I feel the need to make this abundantly clear. Outcasts takes place in a dystopian world in an undetermined year in the future, and the political parties depicted in this story - the Republicans and the Democrats - are in no way, shape or form a commentary on their real-life counterparts. I had very little knowledge of American politics when I wrote this story, and if I could go back and change their names I would. Throughout the story you will read of absurd flaws in both party agendas, and in no way did I ever intend to shame or defame the real life Republican and Democratic parties of America. See them as purely fictitious - that's what they are, after all.

Alpha's Baby | astera22 by astera22

My mum always used to tell me what it's like to see your mate for the first time. She used to say that at that moment, everything around you stopped, that nothing else mattered. And nothing else would matter. If it wasn't for the little girl clinging to my leg right now. That little girl that trusts me with her life, that beautiful little girl that made me hold on and not give up on life. That little girl, whose father is standing in front of me right now. He's my mate. The edges of his lips curve and he looks up and down as if checking me out. "Long time no see." Are the words that first come out of his mouth that break the silence. ~~~~~~~~~~ Lexie is an Alpha's daughter. She faces a hard few days and thinks a night at the club will help her get through this. A few drinks won't hurt, right? At least that's what she thinks. Yet that night will change everything sooner than she would ever imagine. When the next day, her pack gets attacked, everything is chaos. Her mother and father are killed and her world shatters. She's forced to run away and leave everyone that she still has left behind. She thinks she has no one... that's until she finds out about another heartbeat in her body. Raising a baby on your own is hard enough. After a few years she finally meets her mate though and it turns out she knows him after all. How will she confess that her mate is actually her daughter's father? What will happen now? We don't live in a fairy tale where every story has a happy ending though. Real world isn't that easy...if you can call a world full of mystical creatures very real.

|2| Broken Beta {Paul Lahote} by Aspiring-Writer14

Juliana walked along First Beach, where the pack had their meeting place. But she was for once, the abnormally quiet one of the pack. There was only one thing, that could have possibly kept them both this quiet, and it hadn't been seen at all, since they had imprinted on one another. But, no one could tell who or what had broken the Beta and her best friend this time, since neither had shared anything with the pack about it. No one else knows, except the Broken Beta herself. 《Book 2》 Juliana Carter Black has only quite recently learned of her true parentage being the daughter of Billy and Sarah Black, and more importantly to the elders and the werewolf pack alike, their red wolf of the legend. She is stronger than most, bigger then nearly all of the wolves except for Sam since he was the biggest of them, Jacob and Paul. Paul's wolf form grew and it was only after they had each imprinted, that it was more powerful and connected to each other. Juliana was unsure of what to do with her life before she was aware of her real parentage, but now, it was arguably worse, since she had closer bonds to everyone, within the pack, then she had ever realized before. She must navigate this new and tension-filled reality, while keeping her temper and her imprinted best friend in check, and finally settling into the role as the Beta, that she knew the pack needed her to be for them. Oh, and having a little kid in the pack is great as well. Now, what could possibly go wrong with that? {PLEASE read |1| Broken Glass before reading this book it will make much more sense to you if you do. I own nothing except Juliana, Jessica and the 'Old Pack' and their plots.}

Exile: The Book of Ever by JamesCormier

Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.

Her Mysterious Ways by writingoverbreathing

Cole the Not So Stereotypical Jock Being the most popular guy that girls all want to be with and all guys want to be should make you feel on top of the world, right? Not always, especially if you have to keep the fact that you can barely afford food a secret at all costs. And then the new girl shows up with her amazing dance moves and intoxicatingly confusing logic, and he can't seem to get her out of his head. She isn't the favorite girl of the school, not to mention his friends, and she doesn't show any interest towards him, but he has to try. The girl with the mysterious ways has got him wrapped around her scarred little finger. Not Andy Being the girl with no friends is never easy- especially when you have major trust issues and problems that can only be discussed with a shrink. That's why instead of slowly letting people into her life, she chose to shut them out completely. It seems easier that way, which is until she moves to Bangor, Maine and catches the eye of Cole, the football quarterback and heart throb of the school. He makes her feel things that she didn't think we're capable, and he shows how to make a bad situation into something semi-tolerable. It gets her thinking that maybe cliche boys with secrets aren't such a bad thing. During their 17th year, Andy and Cole must face the problems of high school, social hierarchy, their pasts, relationships, trust, friendships, and even love. Both of them knowing that stories like this never happen to kids like them, but they're willing to try anyway.
