"I'm not important. I'm worthless and nobody wants me here," he said with a shrug of his shoulders. "Nobody loves me and nobody ever will."
More tears began rolling down my cheeks once the words tumbled out of his mouth. "But that's where you are wrong. You are important and you're not worthless and I do want you here. Just because not very many people love you like they should doesn't mean that you should give up on the one person that does."
"You're wrong. Nobody loves me," he said letting out a little sob.
"Again. You're wrong," I say taking a small step towards him. "I---I love you."

Ten years have passed since Laura McLean was kidnapped; now she has finally returned home safely. Moving in with her unrecognizable older brother is pretty tough considering the fact that he has suddenly become very overprotective and is keeping her on a tight leash. Living with him is like she's been kidnapped all over again.
That is until she makes the right choice of sitting next to the farmer's boy, Conner Burton, on the bus ride to school. He will take her to places she has never been before, and he will teach her how to let things go, but if you take one look at him it's all smiles and laughs, but what Laura sees is a secret hidden deep inside him. Laura is determined to find out this dark secret of his, but looking past it she knows that there is a adventure up ahead, and maybe.... just maybe something else.

My Life, My Alpha.......My Love
"Zachary." I snickered. He growled playfully as I laughed, dodging his attempt to grab me and took off running in a random direction. I ran with Zac right on my heels, until I turned a corner and ran into a hard chest. I prepared myself for a hard fall, when two muscular arms shot out, wrapping around my waist and crushing my body against theirs. "Hello, beautiful." The person said. I looked up to see a handsome boy, probably around seventeen also. His face looked oddly familiar and while trying to figure out why, I froze. His face was inching closer and closer to mine. I could feel his breath wash over my face as his lips was parted, only inches away from my face, eyes closing slightly, when suddenly a fierce growl shot out through the silence, that had my body tingling. In a flash I was out of the mysterious boy's hold and my hand instantly reached out to steady myself. I looked up to see Zac, pinning the boy by his throat, on a nearby wall. "Keep your filthy hands to yourself, she's MINE!!!!"He growled possessively. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My name is Jessica Matthews, i'm 17 and i'm a werewolf..not only that but the alpha's daughter.My life was perfect, i had an amazing family which consisted of my parents, my older brother Jared and I, I had a wonderful bestfriend, Stacey and, even though he wasn't my mate, a perfect boyfriend, Dylan, or at least i thought so, until one night he does something unforgivable and my mate waltzes in as my knight in shining armor.

You drive me wild and no one else can have you." He says as he attacks my lips. It feels so amazing I can't help but kiss him back. I run my hands through his beautiful hair and he groans into the kiss. Man I don't want this to ever end. I feel drunk on him. I don't think I can let him go. He stops suddenly to finish his thoughts. "No one can make you feel like this. Or kiss you here...." He says as he kisses down my neck. I moan and he smirks pulling his face impossibly close to mine. "..or touch you." He says as he takes his hand and brushes it lightly down my arm and he snakes it back around my back pulling me even closer if that is possible.
