Being alpha-born means walking a path that's already been laid out for me, with a mate I don't get to choose. On a Lycan's 21st birthday, we are fated to find our true mate. Only, I don't want one. I'm not ready yet. I want to travel and see the world, but I can't do that, either. When our world comes under attack from a foe we thought long vanquished, everything I thought I knew gets flipped upside down. With nowhere to turn after my mate rejects me, feeling suffocated by my own skin, I leave my pack to try and find myself...but get found instead.

I never wanted to lie to her, but I knew I couldn't keep her safe if she knew. I hurt her, more than I ever wanted to and I have to live with that each day that I'm away from her. But one day she'll know, that every day spent away from her was hell. Watching her move on. Watching her change. But it will all be worth it once she's safe. Even if she doesn't know it, she is my Rapture.

Addie: In that one moment everything changed. Everything I thought I knew shattered with just a few words. Who knew the truth could be so devastating. I need to decide which side to take. But can I even trust myself? Xander: She's gone, but I'll scorch the earth to find her if that's what it takes. I'll call upon friend and foe for the battle that is to come. The fires of hell couldn't keep me from her and whoever thinks they can take what is mine, is going to regret it for all time. One thing is for sure. The Crash could ruin us all.

There was nothing I ever wanted less than to be princess at the Royal Court. After devastation rocked my whole world, the return of my mother doesn't seem like the dream it was supposed to be. I know how to be a warrior. I have no idea how to be a princess.... With her whole world turned upside down and her heart still broken, who will Addie be at the end of it all?

Seventeen-year-old Adelaide Tate is in her last year of the Academy, with her eyes set on becoming part of the Red Guard. Who cares that no female has ever joined? When a dark force develops an unhealthy liking for her, Adelaide needs to fight for her life and figure out what makes her so different from the others. Betrayal. Fear. Anger. She must overcome it all in order to turn her world the right way around again. Adelaide has one choice. Accept the help offered to her by Xander Bane, or face the Demon Hoard alone.

I used to want nothing more than to escape my destiny. Except escaping wasn’t an option. The fates are a cruel mistress, and running got me nowhere. Rejected. Tormented. Betrayed. With my world under attack from someone I considered family and the one person I thought hated me most standing by me, my entire world is upside down. The pain of rejection was nothing compared to the pain of betrayal. I wanted a choice, and the fates obliged. Fight to reclaim what is meant to be mine or lose everything I never knew I wanted.

I've spent my entire life trapped within the center ring of the Shadow Realm, experiencing the horrors at the hands of my father, the Demon King. Finally given the chance to explore the Realm further, I jump at the chance.... Except I find more than I bargained for. With a marriage forced upon me, for an alliance that will bring more trouble than its worth, my life starts to be torn in two. I might be sheltered, but my eyes are wide open.

After having my life turned upside down, I discovered past me had left more than one thing that needed fixing. Past me was awesome. Saved by an angel, protected by him and the three other men I love, I learn there's more to the mystery of my past lives than I ever could have realized. With danger around every corner, wrongs from a long-forgotten past, and more betrayal than I ever thought possible, I try to realign a world gone awry. Can we survive all that is to come?

"You're a Hunter, Remy." Those four words changed my life. One minute, I'm human, engaged, and ready to start my life. Then my 21st birthday rocks round, bringing with it the biggest god damn shock of my life. I'm a Hunter. Nephillim. Monsters are real. And this isn't my first life. With more secrets than I could have ever believed, and a world so far from what I thought I knew. My enemies are not who they seem, and this world isn't just black and white.

One thing I've learned since I became a hunter: Anyone can betray you. It's exactly why I find myself traveling to a place I never thought I'd go. The Shadow Realm. Demons hide in every shadow and around every corner. But here in the darkness I discover even more surprises. Things I never thought possible. With a queen to hunt, and a witch to find, what could possibly go wrong?

Do you remember that moment? That one moment. The one when you changed. People might say it was this or that, but deep down you know. You know exactly what that moment was. Even if you're not ready to admit it to yourself. You know. I remember mine, it didn't just change me. It changed everything. Everyone thought Mason Knight was the whirlwind that swept me away. But nothing compares to those two shots. Those two shots woke me up and made me see that when we fall, sometimes we need help to get back up.

What do you do when you know your world is about to shatter around you? Do you run toward the change or try to hold on to the broken pieces so that everything doesn’t fall apart? I knew it was coming. We’d had time to ready ourselves, but nothing could have prepared us for the fall out. No one warned me our enemies would make me the pawn in their game. No one saw just how broken I would become.
