"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

I stomp out of Mark’s office and make my way to the entrance. What is going on? What does he mean Celeste is here? Matthew told me she was asleep in her room. The smell of lavender overwhelms my scenes; Celeste is indeed here. I clench my fist at my side; why is she here?


I walk down the hall and see Celeste standing by the door, her long black hair is tied back, and she is wearing a hoodie and jeans. D*mn, I missed her. She glances over at me and breaks out in a run; she jumps into my arms. 


“Zayden, I missed you.” She whispers into my ear. I exhale out of breath and hug her tight. The anger I felt earlier slowly leaves my body. 


I drop her from my arms and look down at her.


“Why did you come here, Celeste?” I ask her.


“I wanted to be by your side Zayden.” She averts her gaze from mine. I run my hand through my hair with frustration. I spot Mark coming over to us from the corner of my eye.
