I struggle in my cuffs but I feel my wrist hurting and cold liquid forming. My screams are muffled. No one can hear me. I try thinking of reasons of what made him turn on me. What did I do, besides take care of mom in her last moments while he worked long hours. Besides loving him and adoring him before everything went down hill. I use to be his world and now it seems like I'm nothing but a burden to him. Infact I know I am. He tells me this daily, ever since mom died. But what did I do to deserve this? What did I do for him to be so hostile towards me and have this much hatred for me? Alpha! Thank Goddess! The rogue is in that cave, the Gamma is keeping her company," The commander said as I nodded my head. My heart drops to my stomach when I realize it’s my mother’s voice trying to tell me something. “-un!” She grunts, slurring and incoherent. I take a step forward when I see the dark shape stop and stand straighter.

Waking up, I feel my wolf start to cheer up more and more for some reason. I figured he come to his senses about my chosen mate and decided to brush it off. Looking to my left, I see my future Luna sleeping peacefully which made me consciously smile at how beautiful this woman is. I gave her a kiss on her cheek, getting up and got myself ready. Babe, you know how I feel about doing it here," I sighed and nodded my head before throwing her over my shoulder and leading the way into our bedroom. I make it home, dad's passed out in his chair. I slowly walk over and cover him up before heading upstairs. I get undressed and put on sweats and a sweater for bed. I sit in bed doing homework for an hour before Iay down to sleep. And all I can think about is today. Amanda Stevens thought her problems were over when she got to college. No longer the shy, awkward teen she was in high school, Amanda felt this was her chance at making new friends and experiencing life. That was until she found out her high school Bully was attending the same college she was. Hudson Harlow. Whether you're a romance lover, a werewolf enthusiast, a fantasy fanatic, or just looking for something fun to do, there's always a story for you to read and enjoy on Readict. And we're adding new books every day.The author also could benefit from combing through the book a bit better to proof read, I understand this was a wattpad book prior to being here and the author is probably indie, cool. But there’s a lot of minor issues like using passed instead of past, how quote or italics are done, explaining something as a thought when the narrator is telling us in first person POV so if it’s a thought italicize it. He sounds like the perfect mate, right? Raine thought so too, but there's just one problem: He doesn't want her. The moment that Hudson Harlow looked into the hazel eyes of Amanda Stevens, his wolf started to howl MATE! Why in the world would the Moon Goddess mate him to a human? But Hudson started to notice that this was no longer the girl that he tormented in High School. She'd changed. A bright light flashes, blinding me, and I can faintly hear my name being called. “Emmeline. Emmeline, you need to wake up.” I hear distantly as the light becomes brighter. “Emmeline!” I startle awake to Tyra, the housekeeper, gently shaking my shoulder. “You were having another nightmare dear” she says softly. I can’t imagine a romantically loveless marriage, but it’s the least I could do after King Linus so graciously took me in. He was an old friend of my mother and always said it was the least he could do after all that she had done for him in the past. He treats me like his daughter and, as such, I have a responsibility to help strengthen the family ties. I met Prince Jaekob on a couple of occasions at royal functions. He seems nice. He’s quiet, generically handsome with light brown hair and dark brown eyes. It could be worse.

I growled at that gesture but instantly stopped when she growled at me, obviously not liking it. I stood up, dusting the dirt off of my knees. I manage to get to the kitchen before I hear his alarms ringing. I sigh thinking he was never this way before mom passed away due to her battle with cancer. Mom was diagnosed with a rare brain cancer when I was just 7 years old and I had a pretty good relationship with both my parents, that is until mom finally lost her battle when I was 12. She had been fighting to see me graduate and go off to college. She put up one hell of a fight to 5 years to be exact. And that's when everything went south with my dad. Ever since losing her I've had to deal with the brute end of his heart break. Taking beatings daily, being his house slave as well as still trying to manage my straight As in school. I was exactly a month from being 18 and would finally leave and be free. I've been working at a small mom and pops diner for a year now saving every penny to leave this hell. Readict is a virtual library of completely addicting novels that will get you reading like never before! Whether you're a romance fanatic, a paranormal enthusiast, or just looking for something fun to do, you'll always find a story to enjoy on Readict. Yeah, hopefully they have something to stop dreams altogether.” I say wishfully. Tyra nods and goes about straightening up the room. “You don’t have to do that. I am capable of cleaning up the room myself.” Tyra doesn’t stop what she’s doing, she just smiles and says, “I have seen your handiwork, I’m better off doing it myself.” I laugh, she’s not wrong. She has a way of making tidying up a space look effortless. She’s told me time and again that she enjoys tidying up a space and freshening it up. She once told me that it was soothing to her, for everything to have its place. She’s in the right profession if that’s the case.I managed to tone him out as I count how many lashings I get this time. He always managed to bring up how my biological parents didn't want me and I was only around because my mom couldn't bare kids. He made it out to be my fault why I was here and why my mom was gone. Like I given her cancer and wouldn't cure her to punish him. It's the same ol same ol with him. He shoves me to the ground to where I'm kneeling on rice? Maybe it's grits? I'm not sure I got lost in my thoughts and I must not have answered him. He bellows out "f*****g CUNT YOU MADE THIS WORSE ON YOURSELF! I ASKED YOU A SIMPLE f*****g QUESTION AND YOUR IGNORED ME. KNEEL THERE UNTIL I LEAVE FOR WORK, WAIT 10 MINUTES AND YOU MAY GET READY FOR SCHOOL!" I shook my head letting him know I heard him. He leaves at 5 am to head to the old paper mill factory for work, but what time was it? How long would I be here? I didn't dare make a sound as I knew it would be worse if I did. They will both be handed down the beta and Alpha position. My father if he had a son would pass it down to him, but because he only has a daughter all the warrior wolves will have to fight for his position when he steps down. What's wrong why are you looking at me so hard" I asked touching my face to see if there was anything on it.

Sweetheart I'm sorry" she says I smile and reply "it's fine only one more month." Seems to be the only conversation we can have so far before I have to head out. It's busier than normal for a Wednesday night. But that's okay, it keeps me busy. I head to one of my tables put a smile on and ask "Hi, I'm Reign I'll be your server tonight. What can I get for you tonight?" Not looking up as I'm grabbing silverware from my apron that's wrapped in a napkin placing it on the table. I grab my pen and notepad before noticing the man before me is the same man I ran into before school. Entering my office, I see my best friend and Beta, sat down waiting for me with a look on his face. I made my way downstairs into the kitchen where both my parents were. They are both each others mates, I love the idea of mates having someone made just for you. But I know it will be a while until I find mine. Yeah don't worry I'm just watching as always although I think when I'm older I will be better than all of them" I smiled confidently. I'm only a few feet from school so I heard the bell ring. I take off running "I'm sorry I'm going to be late for school!" I yelled waving. I managed to get to school in time and head to my first class, geometry with Mrs. Smith. I like her, just not the class. She's a really nice lady always asks how I'm doing, friendly smiles at me when she sees me. I just hate math. But I needed food grades to go to college so I can get a scholarship.Alexandria is completely terrified of her mate finding her let alone a Alpha mate. Why would he want her when she was so broken. But she was his mate now. I walked out of our room, instantly being hit with that same roses and water scent. I looked around before following the scent. Even though I like Jessie's' strawberry scent, I love this one even more. It just smells amazing and I want it all. I stopped short in front of Lewis' room. I clenched my fist knowing my mate is in there alone with an un-mated man. I was about to barge in when I heard her whimpering. She sounded hurt and my heart clenched at the sound. I wanted to take away her pain. The scent became stronger as I made my way into the cave. I was going crazy from the smell. I wanted to smell it all the time. I needed it in my life. I smile at that thought right before I'm startled by his anger "Where the f**k is my breakfast and coffee?" He yelled at me, my eyes facing the floor knowing what's to come. I manage to say "I woke up late, I'm sorry it's almost done and coffee is ready, I just haven't gotten it poured yet" He slaps me across my face and the pain stings "Once it's finished bring it to me and I'll be waiting for you." Yeah it's crazy. Although it's less than four years for me. In fact my father is making me take on more lessons with more unshifted wolves" William states proudly puffing his chest out a little.
