Cowboy Skeleton

Meet Nina! Nina was pretty, fierce yet sweet. She was shy, yet so easy to get along with. The thing about Nina was that she had an easy-going attitude to life making it a breeze for anyone who wanted to approach her. Her life was a simple one, so perfect for her. That was until her perfect life crashed, with everything she had known, everything she had planned taken from her as she was forced out of her English city home and thrown into the American cowboy fevered town of Samsonville, Texas. The town that was filled with cowboys, ranches and intriguing boys who kept a secret, a secret that she has no way of running from. I mean how could she? Werewolves where fast creatures and once they set sights on their pray the pray was theirs for keeps.

What is the big secret? Why is Athena trying to run from her past? What does the future hold for both of them? Every person has a skeleton in their closet.

My African American Mom married a rich Japanese man. As I moved the skeleton of my new bed next to the window, I felt a gaze focused on me. Outside my window, was the house next door. The house shape was similar to ours, so it also had a window facing mine at the same level. Standing there on the other side was a skinny Japanese boy. As soon as I laid eyes on him, he stiffened, then shyly smiled and waved. His hair was all over the place, seeing him in his tanktop I thought to myself that he must've just rolled out of bed. But wasn't it the afternoon already? The boy says something but of course I can't hear him with my window closed so I slide it open. "Eto....hi." He tried in English. If someone were to tell me later I'd come to care about him deeply, I'd find that hard to believe. For as long as I could remember I've always felt empty. And that emptiness, I hid on instinct.

When Alessandro, the mafia leader, had his heart shattered by an older woman, he sealed it away, and swore he would never be fooled by an immature emotion like love. One cannot play with a dangerous man's emotions and get away with it. When Alessandro learns that his heartbreaker has given birth, he kidnaps the baby shortly after its birth. At first, he meant to brutally murder the child, but he didn't have the heart to kill the human who was the size of his hand. The fact that he did not kill the infant did not imply that he returned it; instead, Alessandro raised it. As Lily grew older and more mature, her love for Alessandro started to take a romantic turn. She was hankering after Alessandro's tenderness and touches, but the mafia leader kept turning her down. Lily didn't lack the ability to fight for what she wanted just because she was an innocent girl. In the end, she was able to get Alessandro above her—between her legs, to be exact—and even win his love. Poor thing, by the time she discovered the skeleton of the man she thought she knew, it was too late. The half-truth she discovered broke her apart, forcing her to choose between forgiving Alessandro and letting go of everything or watch the man she loves die. Lily initially picked the second option, but she had already allowed Alessandro to own her emotions in the same way that he had her body, so letting go proved impossible. As she battles to reunite with the guy her heart aches for, she ultimately made the decision to give up the innocent version of herself and transform into the vicious female counterpart of her lover.

"If I were you..." He began, his eyes suddenly having slits of fury burning within them. "I'd mind my thoughts and limit what I say." His voice dropped gravely low. My brows knitted in a frown.

"Call it whatever you want-I honestly don't give two fucks, but let me make it known to you, young lady..." He started and paused, and in a flick, his face became contorted with rage. "You're my possession now... You're at my mercy and I can fucking do anything I want to do to you right now, in case you don't realize that yet." He continued and I stared on, goosebumps breaking out on my forearm. "Who can save you from my clutches?
