Chapter 001

[Apple]This is my third bonus shift this week at the Trail’s End Diner. I’ve been taking on all the extra work I can to free myself of this hell hole and I’m almost there. Just one more day of work and I’ll have enough to drive away and leave this place forever. “Order up!” I grab the food from underneath the light and weave my way around customers to set a too-greasy hamburger and fries in front of an older gentleman with a wandering hand. I’ve been avoiding my stepfather’s touches since my breasts first budded, so I have learned how to avoid such advances. If I were bolder, I might scream when his hand finds my hip instead of my ass or thigh. But I don’t want trouble. I just want to finish my shift and go home. “Hey Apple,” Tony from the post office walks in with a big smile on his face, “I saw this and thought you might want it before you went home.” He pulls a large envelope with the words “Crescent City University” written in bold black font. “You know what they say about big ...

I’m at chapter 20 and I just love Alexis’s scenes. Apple falls a bit flat to me, so I don’t feel for her much. But the plot is ok and the grammar and writing is perfect. I wish I could read a spinoff on Alexis, like her POV before Sylvester met Apple. I think I’d enjoy that story more.

The story plot is beautiful. The problem is that the characters are inconsistent. FL kept saying NO to the ML, so why didn't she cancel the contract already? Waiting for what? Also, isn't she's already paid? Paid w/o doing anything? She should return the money. What is she, a prude?

Chapter 002
[Apple]Crescent City is the nearest metropolis to Pleasant Valley and home to the largest population of supernaturals on the West Coast. Mostly werewolves, and maybe a few witches, they stick to their own kind for the most part, although they go to school and work side by side with humans. Growing up in Pleasant Valley, an all-human community, I didn't encounter many supernaturals. Which is why it was so startling to find myself in the middle of a city full of them. At first, I look around in awe, mesmerized by the bright lights and vivid sounds, but then as I drive around downtown I realize two very important things:Number 1--I don’t know where I’m going.Number 2--After three hours of driving to get here, I’m starving.My idiot ex-boss didn’t even let me gather my tips before I left, and my wallet was empty. I can’t touch the money in my savings account--that’s for school. So I’m stuck to my secret car stash of cash that I keep underneath the passenger’s seat. Reaching down, my

Chapter 003
[Apple]Raising a single eyebrow, a young man with dazzling golden hazel eyes helps me regain my footing. My breath catches, as his warm hands send tingles along my arms. “It's dangerous out here, Miss,” he warns, as he hands me my bag, his face blank and uninterested.“You should watch your step.”“Thank you,” I reply nervously as I lean over to gather my remaining items off the ground. “My name’s Apple,” I start to say as I look up again only to discover that he has vanished, almost as if he was never there. “So much for people being friendlier here,” I grumble as I dust myself off. I guess cute doesn’t mean kind.Shaking my encounter with the mysterious hazel-eyed boy, I rush to my car and begin the drive to the other side of town. Turning on my radio, I discover that all of my stations have changed with the new location, and it takes a moment to find one playing something I can sing along with.When an ad for Rental Luna plays, I turn it off. Disgusted. I couldn’t imagine a job

[Apple]As I take the offered seat he relaxes and much of the pulsing, tense energy in the room starts to dissipate as he moves into a more professional, less predatory, position behind his desk. “A luna is not just a companion, she is the Alpha’s help mate, taking a share of the pack responsibilities so that everything runs smoothly.” He explains. “Luna is the public face of the pack. She speaks for them and represents their strength.” “So like a customer service position?” I squeak nervously, trying to make sense of everything.“No.” His eyes glow, offended by the comparison. “An Luna serves her pack, but she is not a servant,” his lip curls, upset at my cultural misunderstanding. “She does the work of being approachable and available to our people so that I can do the work of managing the more aggressive elements of pack leadership. She guides our pack with a firm but gentle hand, almost like a pack mother.” “Why are you telling me this?” I tap my fingertips on the knee of my jea

[Apple]My attacker releases me, dropping to the floor, showing his neck in supplication to the man growling behind him.Alpha Sylvester Sterling.“For the crime of touching my luna, you are hereby dismissed from your position,” he snaps his teeth, now slightly pointed.“Yes, Alpha,” the wolfman grovels.Sylvester reaches down and with a single claw, scrapes a large, long “R” across his back as the man screams.“You are packless now, rogue,” the Alpha spits in rage. “Any wolf low enough to attack a defenseless woman is not honorable enough for the Silver Crescent pack or any other pack within our organization.”“Please Alpha, mercy,” he begs pathetically, dropping his chest to the pavement. “I couldn’t help myself. I didn’t know she was yours.”“I am not your Alpha anymore,” Sylvester’s eyes are glowing like blue fire. “Now get out of here before I change my mind about skinning you and leaving your hide on the side of the building as a warning to others.”Becoming a rogue slowly drives

[Apple]“Hi, Alpha Sterling,” I tried to sound cheerful, even though I felt like I failed. “Can you please ask your Beta to pick me up at 7:30 instead? I don't want to sign anything...yet," I explain. "I just want to give it a try."My heart is racing and I am unable to sleep as I process what I’m about to do tomorrow. What am I going to wear, how am I going to survive in a building full of apex predators. Staring at the clock across the room, I watch the minutes tick by slowly. Why does it feel that I’ve jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire?A brisk banging on the door jolts me awake. I don’t know when I fell asleep, but by the way my eyes are burning, it couldn’t have been that long ago. “5:59” I groan as I peek through my swollen eyelids.Maybe they’ll go away, or Hazel or one of her roommates will get it. BANG. BANG. BANG. “Ms. LeRoux!” the doorframe rattles with the strength of his banging as he calls my name repeatedly. Falling off the couch with a thunk, I hurr

[Apple]“What’s this?” I pull out a tiny glass vial filled with a liquid that swirls and glows green in the sunlight.“That is a scent-enhancer.” He tries to explain. “They are illegal because they can be used to mask a wolf’s true scent. They are often sought out by omegas who are trying to escape their fates by landing gamma or beta mates.”Something this valuable must have cost a small fortune. “A dab of that behind each ear and the crook of each knee, and most people who sniff you will think you are a Luna without question.” He nods his head while keeping his eyes on the road. “I got the strongest stuff the witch had…and she threw in a little extra scent since you have no scent to enhance.” “Thank…thank you,” I say, not sure what else I can do as I follow his instructions, placing a small drop behind each ear and knee. “For everything this morning. I appreciate it.”His cheeks redden at my unexpected praise, “It's nothing, Luna. Just doing my job.” When we pull up to the front o

[Apple]Taking up the entire door frame is Alpha Sly Sterling, his eyes wide with shock as he looks down at the tattered remains of the employee handbook. “Ahh…Alpha,” I stutter. “I didn’t realize you were standing there.” Taking a bold step forward, he shuts the door behind him. In his hand is a manila envelope, which I am guessing must hold my new contract. He came to discuss the job and I threw a book at him.“I am so sorry,” I begin to cry, as my makeup runs down my face. He doesn’t say anything as he tilts his head upward, his nostrils flaring. I walk around the desk, trying to stay as far away from him as I can, but he flows my movements, moving in sync as he slowly closes the gap. Reaching forward, he grabs my arm, places it on his face, and breathes deeply.“Beta Rudy got the scent for me…um…do you like it?”He walks me backward, pressing me into a wall.“No,” his eyes glow bright blue as they snap open, just inches from my own. “Not at all. Take off your clothing.”“What

[Sylvester]What have I done?Wrapped in what remains of her dress, her skin red and raw from where I rubbed myself against her, she is frozen, reeking of fear and the lingering smell of another wolf. If I stand here one minute longer, Rufus will take over again. And if he does, I can’t be sure he won’t try to claim her as his on the floor of her office, where everyone in the pack can hear us.“We need to get ourselves under control, Rufus!” My wolf, Rufus, growls in response as he paces back and forth through my mind, demanding we go back and finish what we started. “Don’t deny it,” he barks,” You felt it too.” I won’t consider what he is suggesting. It is impossible. Those were not tingles, that was simply the anticipation of the hunt, the desire to mark and claim every attractive female that crosses my path. Stupid Alpha male stuff. “Rudy,” I call over my shoulder to my Beta, who is waiting outside my office. “Take care of the new Luna she…she needs you more than I do.” Rudolp

Chapter 010
[Apple]I don’t remember much of the rest of the day. Beta Rudy carried me out of the office and brought me back to the apartment. I vaguely remember Hazel helping me into some borrowed pajamas right before she handed me a large cup of cocoa and tucked me underneath a large comforter on a small but cozy bed. The next morning I was almost my old self again.There’s a note on the nightstand. “Rudy called. He says you can take a day off of work.”Thank Goddess.Looking over at my phone, I check the date and time and a calendar message reminds me I need to sign up for classes. I haven’t paid yet, and I can’t sign up for classes until I pay. And even though I haven’t quit yet, I have no plans of going back to collect my check. Ugh! “What am I going to do?” I ask Hazel as I eat some leftover pizza from the night before. “I need the money, but there is no way I can go back to that place. It was terrible.” “Alpha Sly feels very protective of you. Alphas are possessive by nature, but the
