I Am Not Your Victim.

o words to describe the man responsible for my heartache. He took my life from me in the most gruesome and sadistic way imaginable. A cold chill rolled over my bare chest and arms causing goosebumps to rise all over my body. I lifted my hands to wipe my eyes. The light of the moon was shining through a window too small for me to fit through. I'm in what looked like a prison cell. The shine of the moon light reflected off the thick metal bars to my left. The walls were gray, built from concrete or blocks. Cracks lined the walls, spreading in all different directions. A dank smell that reminded me of mildew made the air thick and stuffy. All

They were menacing deep and dark red eyes. Pure evil radiated from this man. He was tall, around 6'1. Light brown hair that was not long and not too short. It was styled messy on top. Over his right eye a scar was slid diagonal over his face. His body was built like an A

Purposefully yelling and breaking things then immediately making them clean it all up. I treated them like I was better than them. It was hard for me to do this because I was the exact opposite of all of this. When I got the chance, I apologized to the servants. They didn't deserve any of it and I got close with a few of them. I eventually trusted them enough t

with my act. Let's just say they got a kick out of the few times I wacked a guard with a vase pretending to be angry. Tonight, Alpha Thane had planned to take some of his troops and raid a village. It was now or never. I didn't have much

I turned back briefly to mourn the loss of my childhood home before continuing into the dense forest. I ran as fast as I could. I only sto

Chairs were situated all around the tables where many pack members were enjoying their breakfast and conversations with their families and friends. Beautiful White drapes hung over the tops of long windows that ranged from the tall ceiling to the shiny marble floors. It would all remind you of a castle.

Right away I knew that alpha Titus was not alone, he wasn't the first person that I saw once I looked up. My eyes landed on a man with black hair cut short on the sides but slightly longer on the top. It was tossed in a sexy kind of way. Even messy his hair had a way of giv

He was sitting at a desk with his elbows propped and his hands standing in an interlaced position near his chin. His eyes were also gray but a darker shade that was more like coal. I cou
