It started with a bet. A bet to break the most perfect girl at school. Lydia Weatherstone. She was pretty, smart, got good grades and was destined to land a spot in one of the Ivy league colleges and marry some rich guy in the suburbs, and live like a queen, or she was queer. Either way, she avoided the guys at school like they were the plague. No one could figure her out, and it drove the guys crazy. She was like a mysterious forbidden apple. They could only lust after her but no one could get close enough to her, to figure out what her deal was. And to make matters even more challenging, she was the daughter of the school principal, who was as uptight as her. Winning her would be like a big Eff you to everything the guys despised about their school, and so started the bet. Many failed, but school's famous bad boy Alexander King thought he could do it. No girl was that impossible to get or that hard to figure out. Especially for someone like him. The hottest, most wanted guy at school. Right? He would woo her, win her heart, twirl her around at the prom like his shiny little trophy and then break her little heart right on the stage, when they will be crowned prom king and queen. Easy peezy. Or was it? ********************************* Lydia Weatherstone seemed perfect to the world but only she knew how wrong everyone was about her. Nothing about her life was perfect, and the last thing she needed right now was high school drama. All she wanted was to get away from this town as quickly as possible. So she isolated herself, except for her two friends. Many tried to get close but she shunned them. Until Alexander came. Her secret crush, and he seemed very much into her. Can she let go of her fears, and open her heart to him? Or is she cursed to walk this earth alone?

" .... need to be patient. And don't worry so much, everything is about to fall into place." She almost purrs and something inside me, twists uneasily. My wolf growls. " I may not be your mate, but I think I know how to take your mind off this, " she says invitingly. And I snap. I yank the door open, almost tearing it off its hinges. My wolf is roaring inside me. I see Matt sitting on a chair with a woman in a tight, red dress straddling him. She is trailing kisses on his neck. When I enter, I expect her to jump up in surprise but she doesn't. Matt also looks unperturbed at having been caught red handed. She just turns her face towards me, and smiles mockingly. " Oh look, there she is. Right on time." She says, chuckling. Before I can think about what she means, she grinds herself onto Matt's lap and he groans. Almost, without my control, my wolf comes roaring out. I hunch on all fours, ready to jump and tear her to pieces. But all of a sudden I see smoke surrounding me. What the heck, I think in surprise. Almost immediately, my mind starts going hazy, and my body, which was ready to tear this s**t to pieces feels heavy. I look back at her, and she is looking at me, calmly. I look towards Matt, and he has small smile playing on his lips. I try to take a step further into the room, before I slump to the ground. I see her red heels quickly walking towards me, before everything goes dark. ****************************** Isabelle's life was perfect.
