Name: Alexandra
Parker
Age: 17
Loves: Chai Tea,
making things out of clay, and her beloved black Jeep Wrangler.
Dislikes: Secrets,
bullies, and Declan (only some of the time).
Why We Love Her: For me, the reason that Alex has climbed to the top of my
fave heroines list is because of how protective she is of her family. Alex
comes off as a soft wallflower who just wants to forget all about her new
abilities and new place in the world. Even goes as far as denying herself human
contact so that she doesn't accidentally absorb a Variant's power. But as soon as
fit hits the shan and she realizes that she needs to take control of the
situation to keep her family and friends from danger, she's all business and
people better watch out! Alex is selfless and honorable and I dare you not to
fall in love with her.
Synopsis: Alexandra Parker might be the most
powerful Variant the world has ever seen—but even that won’t get her out of
finishing her junior year of high school.
The challenge of keeping her abilities under wraps during class is daunting enough, but throw one surly, sandy-haired Jumper into the mix, and things can get downright complicated.
Declan’s new job? Watch over Alex while she’s at school and do everything in his power to keep her from losing control. But as sparks of every kind begin flying between Alex and her new bodyguard, she's left feeling more unstable than ever.
When avoiding her abilities results in a surprise visit from her parents’ killer, Alex’s worlds collide with a bang that nearly levels Bay View High.
With her freedom now squarely in the Agency’s cross hairs, Alex will be faced with the fight of her life… and a decision that could forever alter the course of her destiny.

Sneak
Peak
Before
Declan could reply, the girl in question materialized at the front entrance,
awkwardly supporting a barely conscious Aaron Gale, whose arm was draped around
her shoulders.
Alex’s
legs buckled under the weight of Aaron’s lanky form and she fell to her knees,
taking Aaron down with her.
“Alex!”
Cassie cried. In one swift motion, Aiden vaulted over the back of the couch,
reaching Alex before the others could even cross the room.
“He needs
a doctor,” said Alex as he helped her lay Aaron flat on the tiled floor. Her
voice was rough and her eyes wet with tears. “But I was too scared to bring him
to a hospital. There were agents at his apartment earlier. I think they were
trying to take him in.”
Kenzie
edged past the others and knelt beside Alex, pulling her into a hug, before
pushing her away again to give her a once-over. “Are you hurt?”
The girl
before her looked like she’d just walked headlong into a hurricane.
Kenzie
wondered how close that was to the truth.
Her
bright red skirt was now a muddy shade of crimson, torn in places and stained
in others. She’d obviously been drenched earlier, then dried quickly somewhere
with an abundance of pale dirt. Much of which had been left clinging to her
clothes afterward.
Alex wiped at her cheeks, but didn’t answer
Kenzie’s question. Instead, she watched intently as Aiden examined Aaron.
“He’s
unconscious,” he said, finally. “But I think he’ll be okay. Judging from the
looks of him, he just pushed his ability too far. Should be alright after a few
days of rest.”
Mutely,
Alex nodded. “He was trying to teach me. I took too long,” she said, then added
angrily, “I didn’t figure it out right away and by the time I did, Aaron was…
he was…”
No one
spoke.
Climbing
to her feet, Alex walked to the door behind her. Opening it, she stepped
outside—right into the raging storm.
Declan
was half a step behind her. “Alex, what the hell do you think you’re doing?
Come back inside!”
Alex
shook her head. “I have to do this first, Decks,” she said, the winds howling
past her as the falling rain soaked her to the skin once more. “I have to stop
this storm.”
