"I Aiden accept you, Janelle Rose, as my mate and Luna of The White Oak Pack." His words are like a punch to the gut. Sucking all the air from my lungs. "How!?" I gasp, gripping my sides. "He-he… She's not his mate. I'm his mate!" I scream... "You dare stake a claim on my mate!" Shrieks Janelle, "How dare you! Aiden! I will not stand for this kind of disrespect! She needs to go! NOW!" Glaring at her, I turn my attention to Aiden. His eyes soften if only for a second. "I Alpha Aiden Timberland, banish you Vex Riverton from The White Oak Pack!" It's like a knife is plunged into my heart as I drop to my knees. "Remove her!" Aiden says, turning, with Janelle hanging on his arm. "I never want to see her again!" That moment changed my life forever—I was no longer part of a community or even a family... Well, almost... but because of it, I gained a strength I never knew I had and power I never thought I'd possess.

Stepping out from the bushes, its eyes never leave mine. A growl rips from between its bare teeth. Don’t run… Don’t run. I keep repeating to myself. As I slowly step back again. The wolf lifts its massive head, letting out an ear-piercing howl. Panicked, I did the one thing I shouldn’t… Run. Emily thought she was just a typical high school grad on her way to college. Little did she know that her life, as she knew it, would soon be flipped upside down. Monsters do exist and they are waiting. Ready to take a bite.
