BOOK ONE (THE ALPHA, THE WITCH AND THE DEMON) "You belong to meee, Natalie,” The creature snarled. “And until you give yourself to me, I will keep destroying everything that means anything to you. Starting. With. Your. Family.” What starts out as an innocent crush unleashes a plethora of chills and horrors that make eighteen year old Natalie Sanders regret the day she ever decided to set her eyes on Tristan Hemmingway. What will happen when she finally gets the chance to flee it all? Will she grab it by the horns, especially when she's discovering herself and who she truly is? Or will she stay in hell for this man that she has a crush on… this man- no this werewolf that she is slowly starting to love?

Her little time at the archives hadn’t yielded much result, but she was still excited anyway, because at least she had found something, something important that led her to believe that she wasn’t making things up after all.Great aunt Martha had reported that her house was haunted!Honestly speaking, this was something that should have bothered the silver-haired girl a lot more, because what were the odds that two people from different age groups were seeing the same things?But how could it when she had other important things on her mind?Other important things, like how she had kissed Parker in the library?Natalie still couldn’t believe that had happened!Her mind flitted back to earlier that day, how it had happened… how it had totally been unplanned… how, when they had kissed, the world had stopped spinning…Even if it had been just for a very brief moment.The two of them had been standing between the ta
End of class couldn’t come soon enough for Natalie Sanders.At least this time, she had managed to shut off her brain enough to actually pay attention in class, but as soon as the bell had rung, she quickly grabbed all of her stuff and charged for the car park like a woman possessed.When she got to the car park, which they had both agreed to meet up at, Parker was nowhere to be seen.I guess she was early. Natalie slumped against a nearby lamppost, tapping her foot impatiently as she watched people move past her.Bloomingdale Valley Uni did not have that many people like the other colleges in the city did, being a close knit community and all, so the silver haired girl felt rather exposed and vulnerable with everyone watching her like that, but she tried her best not to dwell on those feelings.She was sure everyone knew who she was by now.The new girl who lived in the Suicide House.She still couldn’t believe that was what they were calling it.You know, now that she thought about
“Natalie! Wait up!”The girl with the silver hair heard her name being called out as she walked through the beautiful campus compound, the words making her stop in her tracks to look back.Parker.Oh, thank God!Natalie had barely slept a wink last night thinking about him, about what he could possibly know about her house, and so she was rather glad that he had found her first.Lord knows that she had been absolutely prepared to skip first period just so she could comb the entire campus for him, and she knew without a doubt that she would have missed her second class if she had not found him by then, which was crazy, considering she had never missed any class deliberately before.It looked like Bloomingdale Valley was turning our girl into a hardcore delinquent!“Natalie, hi.” The heavily tattooed guy greeted her when he finally caught up with her, barely out of breath even with the long distance he had literally dashed across to catch up with her.He looked really nice today in his
The drive back home after lectures was a long one for Natalie, which surprised the girl, because the campus wasn’t that far from her neighborhood,But perhaps that had more to do with her than anything else. You see, all through the day, Natalie’s mind had been filled with many thoughts…Thoughts about her terrifying house, about her parents, and then, to make matters worse, about Parker and Tristan.Her mind had been so unsettled that, for the first time in her life, Natalie had been asked twice by one of her professors if she was with them in the class, something that had never happened before.You know, right before Tristan had intruded on them, Parker was going to tell her something about her house, or about the fact that she was new in town… Natalie couldn’t exactly tell which.Still, she had seen that look of shock, possibly fear in his eyes, and frankly speaking, it had worried her so much that as soon as lectures had ended for the day, she had gone all over campus looking for
Tristan Hemingway did not like this new development one bit.Now, more than ever, he needed to stay very far away from the girl, but how could he? How could he when she was suddenly fraternizing with his greatest nemesis?Could the timing be any wrong?Why had the fates decided to torture him by bringing Parker freaking Antonio into Natalie’s life, knowing very well that he was going to have to avoid her so he didn’t trigger her memory gain?There was a chance that the…Wait, what had he been thinking about again?There was a chance that the...Tristan couldn’t recall, for his thoughts trailed off as he watched Natalie storm out of the cafeteria, her silver hair glinting in the warm sunlight.He ran a hand through his own hair, his frustration at himself, at the girl and at their whole situation mounting.How had things spiraled out of control so quickly?They had been making so much progress, and then he had gone to ruin it.All he had tried to do was keep her at a distance so who he
If Natalie thought the tension at home was bad, she soon realised that she had been quite hasty with her judgment, for the tension here, right now, with these two gentlemen was so powerful that even words could not start to describe it.But you know me, I’m going to try.A loaded, pregnant silence filled the atmosphere as Parker slowly rose to his feet… as he and Tristan continued to size each other up, their chests rising with anger as they drank in all the air in the little space until Natalie felt like she was suffocating under a thick blanket.The two men were locked in a silent standoff, their mutual animosity evident in their glares.Natalie’s gaze flitted from one man to the other, her mind racing wildly as she continued to stand there, for a moment unsure of what to do.She cleared her throat when she finally had her thought process put together.“Uhm… do you… do you two know each other?” She finally asked, ignoring the slight tremor in her voice.Parker was the one to break th
By second period, Natalie was so glad she had decided to attend lectures. Nothing special was happening, really— it was just another normal day in college in fact— but the silver haired girl liked learning, and with everything that was going on in her life— the weird happenings, her incessant interest in Tristan and his life— this seemed to be the only thing giving her solace.Even her own home didn’t do that anymore.Lunch break came surprisingly quickly, hinting at the approaching nighttime and reminding the young woman that soon, she’d have no choice but to return home. She had just three classes today; two in the morning, one after lunch— she didn’t even have to stay the full day on campus, yet Natalie was determined to only go home when the sun had long gone to sleep.Hell, she’d spend the rest of the day at the library if she had to.Natalie was so deep in thought as she went ab
Tristan stood there staring at the Oracle in shock for a moment.A confused chuckle escaped his lips. “No, but— how is that even possible? Natalie is human, it’s-it’s supposed to work— it did work, in fact, because I didn’t see her panicking or showing fear, Infin… not even when we were all alone and I took her downstairs.” He stated in conviction. “I don’t know, maybe the staff is… broken?”Infinity shot him a look, “Don’t be silly, child… there is nothin’ wrong with the staff. The reason why she didn’t show any reaction to ya is because she’s still in shock. It rarely happens, but it can. Sometimes, extreme fear can cause the mind to temporarily shut off some memories, but they’ll appear eventually. They always do.”With those last words, the Oracle headed for the door. “I think the problem is with the girl.” She told the boy h
Chapter 11- The CompulsionTristan cursed sharply.He didn’t know what had happened to cause him to shift back into human form so suddenly. Something like that had never happened to him or anyone he knew, so he was a little worried.He looked down at the girl looking so peaceful in his bed, and his heart warmed at the sight.This was where she belonged.He chided his subconscious for thinking such wild— such dangerous thoughts. No, Natalie belonged in her normal, human world, and he had stirred it up too much already. At this point, he wanted her to recover, and then— only then will he be on his merry way.There was a quick knock at his door, snapping him out of his musings. “Come in,” He said, and in stepped Infinity, Oracle for the pack who also happened to have been his mother’s best friend and now acted as a mum to both himself and his brother, Atticus.His thoughts shifte
