"Celeste, you are not like any other human being."

The day after she turned 21, her grandmother’s words sent a shiver down her spine. The world she thought she knew was more than she expected, with vampires, werewolves, and witches, whom she discovers are all real. 

The more she discovers, the more nothing makes sense to her. She has a mate who is a CEO and an Alpha, and she learns that a vampire king is out to get her. Now more than ever, she needs to accept who she is.

But, can she protect the people she loves and cares about? Can Celeste face the vampire who will stop at nothing to get what he wants?

Dangerous Moon

After crying for a few hours, Celeste fell asleep. My wolf wasn't pleased to see his mate like this. However, I have been preventing him from taking control. In fact, I almost shifted and lost control when I saw the mark Devlin had left on her wrist.


While Devlin didn't kill her, he did something else to aggravate me more than finding her. He left his dirty vampire mark on her. Despite being her mate, I haven't been able to mark her yet. The mate bond hasn't come through to her yet, and I want to give her time.


"Come in!" The knock on the door interrupts my deep thoughts.


As he walks over and sits down opposite me, he asks, "What happened to Celeste while I was away?".


"She ran away, and I found her in a bookstore. It doesn't matter where she was, though. Devin found her and marked her." I feel the rage of my wolf rising up once again.


Oliver doesn’t say anything for a while.
