In the last 18 months we have given everything to this story including our blood, sweat and tears. When we started out on this little adventure, we realized that we had the potential to tell so many stories with these couples, it wasn't even funny. They are near and dear to our hearts and I can honestly say, for me, it is like writing about our best friends.
Nico and Hayden will be familiar to you when you read their story, for some, it'll be like stepping into a time machine, and learning about them through a different perspective. For others, it'll be a new and interesting world built around humans and shifters co-existing in a world that doesn't see the difference between the two.
Michele and I both hope you enjoy attending our college, and get a feel for not only the mystical quality of our campus, but also the genuine love our characters, family, mates or friends have for one another. Our hope, is to bring you at least 6 new stories, with a potential for the entire series to consist of 14 books. We are just that committed to bringing you this amazing adventure meant to make you laugh, cry, swear and, at the end, sigh with happiness.
We truly hope you enjoy this adventure with us, and now, without further ado, here is: Unrequited Mate!
Blurb:
Welcome to Turnskin University...
Hayden Raferty, left behind her entire family and all her friends to get away from her mate, Nico Lopez. In a single night, he crushed her hopes and dreams of finding true love. Now, years later, Hayden has decided to move on and start over.
Nico Lopez knows he screwed up, but letting his mate walk away isn’t in his plans. It's time to make his move. With a little help from 555-ROAR, Nico obtains a spot in the Greek Shifter Games and is determined to show his mate there isn’t another male worthy of her. If has to put his body on the line to prove it, so be it.
Excerpt:
The growing bond between them seemed to spike the year she’d turned seventeen, but no one seemed hard pressed to explain the inexplicable need she had to rub against him or the anguish of not having him near. The frequency of their visits became shorter due to both of them working or school. However, when the weather turned warmer, no matter what, they went swimming. Hayden stepped up to his door and knocked. When he didn’t answer, she knocked again then called out his name.
Nico’s rag top jeep sat in the small parking lot so she knew he was there, but fear gripped her. She pounded on the door once more, heart in her throat. The door opened a few seconds later and her best friend in the whole world stood before her, bleary eyed, with a sheet wrapped around his hips. The thick putrid smell of alcohol clung to him along with something else. Her wolf bristled at the scent.
“Are you coming back to bed, Nico?” A woman’s voice called out and Hayden knew what the smell was. She backed away from the door, horrified. Some visceral emotion sliced through her, shredding her ability to breathe.
“Hayden,” Nico called after her, but she’d already started running. She shifted mid-stride uncaring if anyone saw her. The tattered remains of her clothes floated to the ground like the slivers of her soul.
She finished up the rest of the semester, and avoided him at all costs. He showed up at her high school graduation that May, and she ignored him. He brought her flowers and a locket, but she refused both. She couldn’t stand being around him. He broke her that day and it took two years to muster up the courage to move on with her life.
Now a sophomore in college and all of twenty years old, the urge to mate clawed at her. But the guys she sat through class with or in study group did nothing for her. She found herself comparing them to he-who-shall-not-be-named, and didn’t that just suck donkey dick? A low growl of irritation passed her lips and she balled her hands into fists. What’s done is done. He made his choice and you weren’t it. She opened her notebook and wrote a quick note to her dad. She needed them to understand she was moving on, and she would appreciate if they didn’t ask about him—Nico. It was time.
