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.
