Synopsis

"She's my mate!" Zane yelled causing both the man and I to widen our eyes. Mate? Is Zane Australian?

"No. That's not possible. She's-" Zane cut him off with a blow to the jaw.

"Get out before I throw you out of the pack." I took a step back from the boys and shifted uncomfortably.

"Pack? Look I don't know what kind of cult thing you guys are involved with but I just want to go back to my old life." The man laughed.

"Babe, your old life doesn't exist anymore."

"Don't call her that," Zane growled and pushed him out the door. I walked over to the couch and sat down, holding my head in my hands. "Hey," Zane sat next to me and put his hand on my shoulder, sending bolts of electricity through my body. I quickly stood up and looked at Zane.

"What was that?" Zane smiled and shrugged.

Devina Stavros, believe it or not, never hated her life. She didn't despise the name calling and occasional pushes and shoves. She didn't mind the constant absence of her mother or the fact that the only living being who cared for her was her goldfish, Mr. Freddles. She learned to accept her life. She knew the things people at school and her mother pounded into her head were true. She was just a little nerd.

But after a mysterious animal attack at her high school, everything changes and nothing makes sense anymore. The things she's read about in childhood fairy tales and seen on television are all true. Werewolves. Vampires. Witches. Everything.
