EXCERPT "You can\'t help it can you? You don’t even know you’re being selfish," he said, echoing over my tears, my arms held behind my back by the two Warriors flanking me as I cried out, "I did everything I was supposed to!" “Get her out of my sight,” he said quietly, his voice like a velvet bullet, cutting through me in a way that hurt so good, “I’m sick feeling like I could’ve had better than you.” “I’m sick with everything you’ve done to me!” I screamed suddenly, fighting my captors again. They began to drag me back, my entire body on fire as the distance between me and my mate, the one that was supposed to protect me grew wider, the bond stretching thinner, and thinner. He turned his cold, calculating eyes on me, and I hated the way my heart fluttered. “You’re a monster,” I whispered, arms burning from the force of the warriors gripping me. The wolf inside of me howled a final plea of pain, but I forced it down. Forced out the hurt, the betrayal, the brokeness. All that was left was numbness and anger. The mate bond between us snapped like a twig. “I am a monster,” he said, my last ounce of willpower going into her aching arms before giving out, “The monster that you made.” Camilla Vaughn Verity is the heir to the Rising Sun pack, the Alpha\'s only child.

I was walking through the park, drenched, and I heard a growl. I freeze. I can see my breath in front of me, but all of a sudden I’m hot. My palms begin to sweat and I search around, turning slowly. I see a few streaks of muted color among the trees, blurring together, and more growling. I slowly take a few steps back, about to turn and break into a sprint, when a giant wolf breaks free of the treeline, and I swear a man is chasing him?! My eyes widen, and I gasp, before adrenaline kicks in and I take off running, trying to put as much distance as possible between myself, the wolf, and the idiot man chasing him. And then I trip. I fall, hard, crashing into the ground. I try to catch myself with my hands, but I feel a crunch in my fingers and a sharp pain in my temple. Dizzy, and hurting, I look up at the sky as black spots form around the edge of my vision. RIght above me, a wolf jumps, and I hear the sound of tearing flesh, and my stomach lurches. Blackness continues across my vision. Suddenly a man appears above me. His face is shrouded in darkness, but as he whispers to me, I feel a strange pulling deep in my chest, along my spine, and I shiver. And then blackness takes over. ----- Rose is a witch, with powers that have been suppressed by forces unknown.
