Blurb ~*~
Seventeen year
old Rose Goldman is highly unpopular in the little town of Halfway. Ever since
the 'attack' when she was a girl, people and animals have been afraid of her.
She gets bullied in school, and called 'wet dog' because of the way she smells,
despite being extremely hygienic. However, life takes a turn when a new teacher
starts at Halfway High. Mr. Stone, the quirky and charismatic English teacher
is twice Rose's age, but she feels an unexplainable pull towards him from day
one. Despite her better judgement, Rose pursues a friendship with Mr. Stone,
who seems unable to stay away from her.
What is pulling
this unlikely pair together?
Alpha Girl is
the first book of the Wolfling Saga, and is not intended for audiences younger
than 15 years of age, as it contains scenes of a sexual nature, and coarse
language.
Please do not
read if you are easily offended.
Excerpt ~*~
(Chapter
Eight)
Mr.
Stone’s smile faltered. ‘I like my women to have a mind of their own – to be
witty. Like you.’
My
throat closed up. Like me?
‘You’re
an amazing girl,’ he said suddenly.
His
use of the word girl made my stomach twist painfully.
‘Am
I?’ I asked.
‘Of
course.’
‘A
girl?’
He
smiled knowingly. ‘An amazing woman,’ he corrected himself.
‘No
one has ever told me that before,’ I said.
‘I
don’t believe that,’ he smiled. ‘You’re clever, and beautiful, and damn witty.’
Mr.
Stone’s jaw tensed as he realized what he was saying.
‘Beautiful?’
I asked, the word escaping as nothing more than a whisper.
‘Don’t
you know?’ he asked.
My
heart thundered as I stared at him. Oh please, my mind begged. Please tell me
what is going on in that head of yours.
‘D-don’t
I know what?’ I asked.
‘Don’t
you know what you’re doing to me?’ He said as though I was torturing him.
‘What?’
My skin stung and my head swam with the possibilities.
‘Rose,
I-’ He paused to collect his thoughts. ‘I’ve felt this … this pull towards you
since day one. I can’t explain it.’
He
didn’t need to explain it, because I felt it too. His eyes, his smile and his
scent had me drawn in.
I
placed a shaking hand over his, which was still on the steering wheel. He
looked at our hands for a moment before allowing me to thread my fingers
through his. I could feel his pulse in between each of my fingers.
Mr.
Stone inhaled deeply. ‘Christ,’ he muttered, shutting his eyes tightly.
‘What’s
the matter?’ I breathed.
‘That
… that scent. The way you smell-’
I
suddenly became very self-conscious. Bullies at school often accused me of
smelling like wet dog. I sniffed my shirt, but I smelled perfectly normal.
‘What
is it?’ I said defensively. ‘I showered this morning-’
Mr.
Stone laughed, and I felt my cheeks burn with embarrassment.
‘No,’
he said with a small smile. ‘You smell amazing.’
‘I
do?’
‘Absolutely.
You always do.’
I
never wore perfume, only regular home brand antiperspirant.
‘It
makes me dizzy,’ he confessed. ‘It’s intoxicating.’
‘What
do I smell like?’ I asked, rather flushed.
Mr.
Stone licked his lips as though he could taste me in the air. ‘Sweet,’ he said.
My
cheeks burned crimson, and I wished he would look at me. I couldn’t believe
this was happening.
‘I
want to kiss you so very badly, Rose,’ Mr. Stone said under his breath. ‘But I
can’t … and it’s killing me.’
My
heart hammered so loudly against my ribcage that I was sure Mr. Stone could
hear it from where he sat.
Suddenly,
I felt powerful. He wanted me … and it terrified him.
‘Mr.
Stone,’ I breathed, but he still didn’t look at me. ‘Tom.’
A
small groan escaped him as though his name leaving my lips was taboo.
‘Look
at me,’ I said, my eyes fixated on him.
‘I
can’t,’ he said, shaking his head.
