“You’re nothing.
Just a nobody that wasn’t wanted.”

Those words have played in my head since I was five years old.
Every night when I close my eyes, I relive that moment. The heat, the smoke, and the cruel smile on her face. For the longest time, I believed them. All I wanted was to find a place to belong, to be needed. But who could ever need me, a prey shifter? How can a rabbit be useful, especially when I lack elemental magic?

The guys saved me that night and every day since. They refused to let me feel useless, instead teaching me to be strong and use what I thought was a weakness to my advantage. With Lyle, Blair, Pike, and the twins, Sol and Storm, I found what I never thought was possible. People who wanted me, people who value me. They may be Alpha predators, but they make me feel like I belong.

I found a pack.

But nothing is forever, and one day I’ll have to watch them leave, to pick mates to spend their lives with. The thought haunts me, but I can’t let it rule my life.
I don’t want to be alone, not again...

Again?

Sometimes my thoughts are not my own. I feel like someone else lives inside of me, full of pain and while I don’t know the reason for the pain, I can feel it as if it is my own. Every day the feeling is stronger and with it comes chaos, my life has become a delicate balance and something inside of me can’t wait for it to snap.

Fear keeps me holding onto what I know. Whatever is inside of me is waiting to get out, but it’s dark and dangerous and I refuse to let those around me be hurt by it.

I’m just not sure I can hold it in much longer.
