I was watching Olivia from my office. She looked confused, but picked o the phone. My phone rang and it was her. I guess Lily was early for lunch. She looked kinda upset that I had a girlfriend, or at least that's what I hoped. I know having a girlfriend, and liking someone else is bad, but I can't help it. I know Olivia has Bill, and she's happy. I really hope Lily can help me get over Olivia. Lily really is great. She's beautiful, successful, smart, and funny. She's Victoria's Secret's newest angel. I really think that Lily is a great person, but as of now, I'm still hung up on Olivia. I'm sitting at the table with Lily in some modern, expensive restaurant that Lily chose and she was talking about some shoot she has coming up. I wasn't really paying attention. Lily waved her hand in front of my face, and it snapped me out of la la land.
"Are you okay, Babe?"
"Huh? Yeah I'm fine."
"Are you sure? You seem a little spaced out."
"No I'm fine. I was just distracted, thinking about work."
"Oh okay. Well I was just wondering if you'd like to come to my shoot Saturday evening."
"Of course, honey. I would love to."
"Wonderful! You'll finally get to see what I do! I'm so excited. Just no running off with any of the other girls."
"I wouldn't dream of it, Lily."
"Great! It's my second shoot ever, and we're unveiling a new line. They said if I do a good job, I could be put in the fashion show this year."

"Really? That's wonderful!"
"I know. They're really excited to meet you. Most of the girls don't believe that you're actually my boyfriend."
"Why not?"
"Well you're really successful and handsome, so why would you date an up and coming Victoria's Secret model?"
"Isn't the Victoria's Secret model the exact type we got for?"
"Yes, but not the new models that barely even shot anything. Normally they go for a hugely known model that's about to hit the runway."
"Nope. I guess I'm just different."
"I'm glad."
After lunch, I had to go back to the office. She told me she'd text me later tonight. She really is a sweet, nice girl. I walked up to my office, and saw Olivia on the phone with clients. I sat at my desk and waited for my next meeting.
I was filing papers, calling around for appointments, and scheduling meetings. Then I made Mr. Wright's coffee, and brought it to him. Before I knew it, it was time to go home. I stopped at Bill's apartment for a little bit, and then went home. I googled Lily Davis, and was crushed when I read what she does for a living. She's a Victoria's Secret model, for crying out loud! I saw her announcement pictures, and I almost cried. She's absolutely stunning. I don't look like that. I know I have a boyfriend, but even if I did want to break up with him for Mr. Wright, how would I compare to that? I couldn't. I had to call Trinity.
"Tri? There's a major crisis in Olivia Land."
"Oh no. When isn't there?"
"True. You remember Mr. Wright's girlfriend?"
"Yeah? What about her?"
"She's a Victoria's Secret model."
"WHAT?"
"I KNOW!"

"Okay. Breathe. Things could be worse."
"How so?"
"You don't like him as much as Bill right?"
"I don't know! I might."
"What? Are you serious?"
"Yeah. I really like Bill. He's so sweet, but there's no passion like there was with Mr. Wright."
"Then you have to tell him!"
"Yeah so things could he awkward, and he could flaunt Lily in my face? No thank you."
"Then you at least have to break up with Bill. It's not fair to him."
"I know! I was actually going to bring the lack of passion up to him, and see if we could work on it. I really do like him."
"Then do it!"
"Okay. I'll do it after your dinner."
"Okay. Just don't hurt the poor guy."
"That's the last thing I wanna do."
I went to bed that night dreading that talk with him. I also kept thinking about Ms. Victoria Secret and how she probably fawns all over him and his bank account. I just don't know what I want, but I better make up my mind soon, for everyone's sake.
It was finally Saturday morning. On the weekends I don't see Olivia, so out of sight, out of mind. I got dressed, made breakfast, and watched TV. Before I knew it, it was time to go to Lily's photo shoot. She was the French maid of the photo shoot and looked absolutely amazing. Afterwards, we stopped back at her apartment for her to change.
"Babe, I was thinking you could change into something nice."
"Why?"
"Well I was thinking we go dancing at that jazz club, and then go to dinner."
"Okay. Let me find something."
She changed into a beautiful dress, and we headed to the club. We went straight to the dance floor. She immediately let me take the lead, and we glided across the floor, and I twirled her in my arms. After an hour of dancing, we wanted to eat. We sat down at about 8:30 which was good, because it wasn't too busy. Just as we sat down, Nikko & Trinity walk in with Bill & Olivia. This can't go well...

War of Seasons
Dorothea Atlin is the young, apathetic leader of the neutral territory of Sirpo, a chilly land hovering above the continuously warring factions of Sacer and Ghuria, whose devastating magics have ravaged their people and lands time and time again. Following a shocking attack and a cruel deception, Dorothea grows her conscience and takes up arms, using her self-destructive ability to manipulate the flow of time to ensure Sacer’s victory. Her growing understanding of war and the two factions is guided by Iree Nobelis, the determined and enthralling commander of Sacer’s forces, Ariana Kingfisher, a steely swordswoman of mixed Ghurian and Sacerian descent, and Rhys Tamlin, a kind but haunted soldier who goes to challenge Dorothea’s self-imposed celibacy and join her on a mutual journey of healing from the tragic legacies of the Atlin family and wars between the nations. Meanwhile, Dorothea’s only friend and deserter from the Sacerian military, Shark Olyen, returns to their homeland to face the family that disowned them and finds more than they bargained for in meeting Cerid Creed, a noble whose duty to his people clashes with his desires in romance and in life, much like Shark’s did long before. As their developing or preexisting loves and differing convictions on how to achieve peace create rifts between these major players, Dorothea experiences a personal revolution that leads her to fight for what she believes is right, no matter the cost. A slow-burn story that takes time setting up the psychology and motivations of characters for explosive payoff later down the line. Cover by Ben Arisson, who is also a wonderful author on this website!

8 146Olive the Other Werewolves
"Shift." His voice hit me like a serrated blade as he stepped out of the crude semicircle of hardened wolves that had formed around me. I pushed myself off of the cold floor for what felt like the thousandth time that day, wiping the small trail of blood coming off of my lip and down my chin. "I won't ask you again." My limbs felt like lead, these wolves had been at me for hours trying to get me to shift into my wolf, unbeknown to them was that their efforts would forever be futile considering the fact my wolf wouldn't make an appearance for me even when I begged. I seriously doubted she would suddenly pop up as a result of their abusive tactics. Instead of explaining my circumstances, driven by a bizarre combination of adrenaline and fatigue, I leaned back on my heels and sent the largest loogie I'd ever conjured flying over and landing squarely between the eyes of the man before me. oOoOoOoOoOo As a late bloomer who was incapable of shifting yet, let alone making any contact with her wolf, Olive Ludovic's life was not off to the best start. Growing up, constantly being tormented and taunted by those around her forced Olive to grow a tough skin and work even harder, despite the fact she was without her wolf. When her home is taken over by a dark pack, life seems to only get worse for Olive as it is quickly discovered that her mate is none other than Matteo, the Alpha of the very pack that was terrorizing her people. It seems to her, that life is just a little bit easier for Olive the Other Werewolves.oOoOoOohello! just fyi there will be mature language and content as the book progresses so i'm letting ya know now ;)HIGHEST WEREWOLF RANKING = 2, LOVE RANKING = 3 (out of 1.8 million books XD), MAGIC RANKING = 1, ROMANCE RANKING = 1 (out of 1.5 million books XD), VAMPIRE RANKING =1!
