The Wolves Of Twilight
["I stood there: waiting, wanting, hoping, feeling. Allowing the sensations of the world to consume me as I stared deeply into the pools of honey that were his eyes. I wanted no more than to dive right in. For him to hold me close and never let go."] La Push was a quiet town where nothing overly interesting happened. At least, nothing other than the rumors circulating Sam Uley and his alleged cult. But let's not get into that just yet, shall we? My name is Casey Apha, and no, I am not a girl, and this is not some romantic tale about how I found the love of my life. This is a story about the internal struggles of an average boy who suddenly became a lot less average and a lot more . . . interesting. A kid who was now aware of both the fact that he could phase into a giant wolf on command and how the sun reflected off of his best friend's eyes in a way that made them more valuable than any jewel in the world. With that being said, my life has grown to be a lot more complicated. The main source of my problems starting with those lusciously brown eyes that left me wondering what the hell I was thinking. And how in between the self-loathing and night patrols, I learned to love him and, most importantly, love myself. Follow along with Casey's story as he finds love, acceptance, and a place to belong. ~~~~~~~~~~•~○~•~~~~~~~~~~ (Embry Call x Male Oc) *Posting when I can* All original rights: Stephanie Meyer Casey and his fam: All me :)

I am not making fun of the fandom or the canon in any way shape or form (●'◡'●) I did actually read the first book. Or at least I listened to the audio book. This fic takes place at the end of the first book, right at the end of the school year in June and over the summer)Lengkap

Paranormal Romance (Werewolf) You know that movie Jerry Maguire? It's about this sports agent who got fired for suddenly having a conscience. Anyway, there's this very romantic scene by the end of the movie when Jerry made this very heartfelt and passionate declaration to his wife. Those words would melt you into a puddle and make you burst into tears thinking, "I want to have that kind of love!" Well that very sweet scene did not happen on this story, not all of it anyway. Don't get me wrong it was heart wrenching, very much so, and there was a passionate declaration. But instead of saying the oh so loving, oh so sweet and oh so scripted "I love you. You complete me..." like Jerry did in the movie, my 'mate', the other half of my soul and the one who 'completes' me said, "I hate you. I wish you were dead!" He said it with disgust and anger burning in his eyes. He didn't run into my arms like he was supposed to, he ran away from it. But who could blame him? Jerry Maguire was right. We live in a cynical world and we work on a business of tough competitors. Why would my mate want to be with me? He'd be shunned and be forever laughed at. Aside from the fact that I was male, I'm basically useless to him because I'm a werewolf who can't phase. He's an alpha. He could have anyone he wants. And me, well, I'm on the bottom of the pack, the runt of the litter. The council didn't know what to do with me. They couldn't kill me since it could drive my mate insane, even if he didn't want me. I can't kill myself because it would probably have the same effect on him. I have to live but I can't be with my mate and my pack. So I made it easier for everyone, I ran away. I always believed in the saying "Out of sight, out of mind." What I didn't consider was the possibility that they'd come after me and forcefully bring me back.Lengkap

Now, in a new country, surrounded by unfamiliar faces, he's haunted by what he can't forget. Moving to The United Kingdom was supposed to be a fresh start, yet all he feels is emptiness-until he meets her.
