What the hell? Were the only thoughts that ran through Hiroto Yamada's mind when he got stabbed. Stabbed by the same person that he used to work for along with his editor. Writing a plethora of successful novels, Hiroto was not low on money. And that was exactly what they wanted from him. 'Ah, looks like I'm cooked.' Were his final thoughts before he drifted off into darkness. But fortunately, fate gave him another chance as he was reincarnated as an Extra into one of the very novels he wrote. Yes, an Extra. A character that he had never written in the novel. One that he had no idea what would happen to and if he would even survive in this second chance at life. And yet again, only one thought ran through the newly born, now Ezra's mind. 'Yeah, I'm definitely cooked. _________________ Hey guys, It's my first novel.

Synopsis When I was 13 years old, my entire family committed suicide by driving full speed off a thirty foot bridge. Morbid, I know. Unfortunately, they deemed themselves unfit to live and ended it the only way they knew how. They had gotten themselves stuck in something deep and dark with a couple of the demons around our neighborhood and their contract was coming due. So at the age of only 13, I was left to fend for myself and survive in a world full of werewolves and demons. My name is Claire Summers and my family had once ran one of the most powerful werewolf packs in North America. That is, however, only because of a contract held by a certain grey eyed demon. After their deaths, the pack diminished to almost nothing. The spell cast upon the pack members had been lifted and they saw no reason to stick around. I was left with no one to support me and I was forced to find my own way through life. My title as the Alpha's daughter slowly slipped back to Omega in a matter of hours. Nobody wanted anything to do with me. I was a freak in their eyes. They were embarrassed of me, I humiliated them. The Alpha's daughter was supposed to be strong and lead the pack when her parents couldn't and I wasn't able to. I was an Omega at heart. I always had been, no matter the spell the demon put on everyone. I was an Omega and they were finally beginning to see that. I was weak, pathetic, unloved, and an outcast. Everyone despised me. People who I thought of as family members disowned me. For the first time in my life I was completely and utterly alone. Until I met him. CREDIT __ LIZ
