AUTUMN ROSE by Lisa Ann (phonics reader TXT) π
Excerpt from the book:
"It's hard to trust someone, when everyone you ever opened up your heart to, has let you down and pushed you away"
The day before Autumn's 16th birthday was when her world world was changed forever. It was the day her parents were killed by an enemy pack as they were trying to protect Autumn and her older brother Blake. But what made it ever worse was that it also was the same day that Autumn got kidnapped and the last time she thought she would see Blake. Those 4 months she was gone were the worst months of her life.
Now it's 2 months before her 18th birthday and ever since her kidnapping almost a year and a half ago she has never been the same. Without her older brother Blake and their Aunt Kelly, Autumn would never have been able to get through everything that's happend to her. Since then Autumn doesn't like it when other people touch or get close to her in any way. She flinches at anything, she has trust issues and she doen't like being around any guy or group of guys alone. The only ones she trust are Blake and her Aunt Kelly. Plus she has nightmares that haunt her and a heart that can never be fixed, but that's until she meets Hunter.
Ever since the begining of summer, all Hunter has heard about from everyone was that two new kids had moved into town and would be going to the high school. For the three months that everyone had off for summer, Hunter has only met Blake, the brother, but not his younger sister. When he met Blake he knew right off the back that Blake was a Shifter or werewolf as some may call us, just like he was. After they met, Hunter knew that he would get along well with Blake and his sister, but thing was that he still hadn't met her yet and couldn't figure out why Blake would become all defensive when he would ask about his younger sister.
So what happens when Hunter runs into Autumn one the first week of school. Will Autumn allow Hunter to get close to her? Will she be able to tell him her secret? Can Hunter help Autumn turn back into the fun, outgoing, loveable, happy girl that she once was or will her fear of everything hold her back? But can having the support of her brother Blake and her love for Hunter help her survive or will it destory her?

is. I also know that you are just the same as him too and that I'm also your mate."
Blake just nodded his head slowly at Zo turning his head towards me.
"Well then that means we need to explain this to Autumn. So if you want, you and Zo can just follow me home and we can work this out."
I tried to hold in my excitment that Blake was allowing us to come over. This was a good time to see Autumn and figure out what happend yesturday.
Zoe rode with me as I followed behind Blake to his house.
{Autumn's P.O.V}
I had stayed home for the past two hiding in my room.
The memories were just too much and being in school with all those kids didn't help any.
My Aunt Kelly tried her best to get me whatever I needed for the day before leaving to go to work.
Her and Blake did their best to give me space because they knew that I was better off being left alone.
To tell you the truth, I didn't want to be left alone anymore. But I couldn't burden my family more than I already did.
In my heart I know that I wasn't there no more, but in my head, I feel like no matter where I'm at that I'll always be there.
I'm slowly losing pieces of myself and it's killing me inside.
As I was sitting curled up on my bed in the corner I heard someone pull in the driveway.
I saw that it was my brother home from school and then I noticed another car behind his.
I dedcided to go downstairs so that my brother didn't have to come get me.
Sitting in the corner of the couch in the living room I waited for the front door to open.
Footsteps got closer and louder down the hallway as Blake walked in followed by two people I didn't expect to see.
Zo smiled when she say Autumn sitting on the couch.
"Hi Autumn! I missed you at school these past two days," she smiled, but I could hear the sadness in her tone.
I was still getting used to people actually talking to me and allowing me to talk with them too.
"Hi Zo," was all I could manage to say to her.
Then I felt a strong presences in the room and I looked to see Hunter standing behind Blake and Zo.
For some reason I felt safe, calm, more at ease whenever I was near him.
Then I had this sudden urge to be close to him.
Tears started to burned in my eyes when I saw the look on Hunter's face.
He was smiling the biggest grin I've ever seen. It was almost as if he knew what I was thinking.
Zo looked at Hunter then back at me smiling before taking my brother by the hand and going into the kitchen.
Normally after having a panick attack like I did at school, would leave me not wanting to be around anyone, but with Hunter I wasn't afraid.
Hunter came closer towards Autumn wanting to be as close to her as possible.
When he had seen the tears in her eyes he knew they were happy ones, not sad ones.
Huter knew that she was starting to feel the pull now and that she could trust him.
When Hunter got cloes enough to me I jumped up and threw my arms around his neck holding him tightly.
Hunter wrapped his arms around Autumn's waist pulling her tighter to his chest, happy that she felt safe enough with him to allow this much of close contact.
"Thank you for coming with my brother today! I'm really glad your here cause I feel so much safer with you around just like I do with Blake, but different," I mumbled into his neck just loud enough that he could hear what I said.
