I can feel my legs hurting as I kept on running, rushing out of the woods I once considered as my safe place. I can't stop. I can't let them catch up on me. I can't let those same creatures that killed my Nona, kill me too. She told me to live, and so I will. But seeing the hypnotizing beauty of the moon, I can't help but stop and adore its magnificence. It's beauty is commanding me to stare, and so I gazed at it. But from the corner of my eye, I can see the same creature approaching. But instead of feeling fear, calmness rushed over my body as I gaze at a pair of golden eyes, so different from the cold blue ones that killed my Nona. Seeing those golden eyes, suddenly the Moon doesn't look as magnificent anymore, because it is those pair of golden eyes that matters more...
Sometimes fate gets it all wrong. Zoey Kent has lived with that fact ever since she turned eighteen and learned that the man she loved could never be hers. He's a born shifter, a wolf, and she's a mere human. Fate doesn't care if on paper they're a perfect pair. She isn't his fated mate and she's resigned herself to the knowledge that someday, she'll have to watch Michael mate with another. It's never crossed her mind that there might be someone else out there for her, that she would be the one to mate another, to choose another over everything she's ever known or wanted. Sometimes fate gets it all right. Rafe Hudson left his pack behind years ago. Physically and mentally scarred from an attack that left his parents and twin dead, he walked away from his responsibilities as Alpha. He never intended to return but lone wolf or not, he can't leave Michael open to an attack he's learned is coming for his only brother. What he didn't know was that going home would mean scenting his mate, the one person in the world that could make him whole again, that could give him everything he thought he'd lost. His pack, his home and his family. But fate always has a plan. There's no way Michael's brother is her future, is there? Just like there's no way that the girl his brother has loved since they were kids, was always meant to be his, right? Only fate knows why they were brought together but there is one thing for sure, the sparks between Zoey and Rafe are undeniable. The bond between them is unbreakable. And together... they'll change the face of the pack forever.
Cammie LOVE, TRUST, FATE, AND A HAPPY EVER AFTER? Yeah, not something this girl believes in. My life has shown me that love is just another thing that holds you down. That you need to be there for yourself and fate can screw you over faster than a used car salesman. I wouldn't have survived my mother and her many men if it wasn't for my best friend, Gage. The only person I have ever trusted and even that took a while to do. I was alone in the world, no family, just me and Gage, until they showed up. Turns out I have a twin brother and my dad's alive, well f*ck me, and they've brought along a guy who I can't seem to stay away from. Turns out their all shifters, werewolves, whatever you want to call them, and I'm one as well. This strange pull I'm having to this new mysterious hot guy? He's not only my mate, he's my fated mate, and that alone could kill us both. Yeah, whoever said love can conquer all can kiss my a** MASONA MATE, LOVE, BEING VULNERALBLE, Yeah, sorry not this guy. I've seen the destruction it can do and won't let it pull me down. I've seen my friends and family in my pack become mated and it's become their downfall. Hell, it's the reason I became Alpha so young. So, wanting a mate and all that love bullshit, yeah, no thank you, don't want it, don't need it. Then my best friend Cameron finds his twin sister, and my wolf doesn't give me a choice, no matter how hard I try to fight it. She pulls me in, we're too much alike, neither one of us want this, but can't stay away. She's from one pack and I'm from another, it would be perfect, then we find out we're fated. Well, there goes my theory that being mated will be my downfall, because now we're screwed. A fated mate means being vulnerable in a way I've never been, and it could kill us both. I guess whoever asked the question 'Is love worth dying for?' was a fated mate, thanks dude.
