“You never wanted me as your mate!” I screamed in his face, my blood far beyond the point of boiling now. “You never wanted a mate, period.” The words came out thick, like venom burning my tongue, but I didn’t care. They needed to be said. They demanded to be heard. “Well I want you now,” he shouted back. His jaw clenched as those dark eye bore into mine. 10 days ago those words would have meant so much more to me, possibly enough to change the trajectory of this entire conversation. But today, after this god awful day, they meant nothing. Suddenly, the pounding heart in my chest jolted to a brief halt. I took a step back from him. All will to keep fighting had drained from my body as my eyes left his. “It doesn’t matter,” I said, turning away this time. I reached for my bag, shoving the last of my sweaters inside and zipping it closed. “What?” He took a startled step back but I couldn’t stop myself. I shoved as much as I could into my bag, paying no attention anymore to what I packed. I’d get the rest later, I just needed enough for a few nights, enough to get my home, back to California. Talia Atonis has done nothing but run from her boring hometown of Moongate ever since she was old enough to live out on her own. Yet, when he dream life in California begins to crumble, she’s forced to move home for the summer. Moongate isn’t the boring place she remembers it to be though, a one night stand and nighttime venture sending her deep into the world of magic and werewolves. Suddenly she’s being hunted by a pack of werewolves, and her sworn childhood enemy is calling her his mate, and determined to keep her safe.

Catalena Hayes has spent her entire life preparing to be Queen, not a wife. Certainly, she’d thought about her wedding, about falling in love, and claiming a husband. Never did she imagine an arranged marriage, but when her dad suggests that claiming a king may be the only one way to end the decades long war of wolves attacking her kingdom, Catalena hastily accepts. Or at least she had, until cold feet caused her to sprint from the rehearsal dinner. Enter Finn. Charming, handsome, Finn. He enters Lena’s life at just the right time, colliding with her as she desperately sprinted from her future husband. Finn provides the perfect distraction for the night, but more importantly, he inspires her with a better idea. Marry him, someone who she naturally feels a connection with, someone who would gladly sit back and let her rule her own kingdom, and someone who would finally give her the chance to prove to her family that she’s capable of ending this war in her own way. Even if she doesn’t have a plan for that yet.

The Blood Eclipse pack has been through a lot this summer, and with Fall quickly approaching the happy endings are finally starting to seem like they’re within reach. Malia and Ty are engaged, and eagerly planning for their big day, while they’re best friends Alana and Liam are finally putting in some time to exploring their own mate bond. Yet, Malia’s grandmother comes with a warning she urges the four to heed; there is a war coming and it’s based around an ancient prophecy that she believes is based around the union of Malia and Ty. The prophecy looms over their heads, retelling the history of the war between werewolves and witches, and suggesting the continuation of this war upon the union of a werewolf and witch through a sacred mate bond. With secrets of the past coming forwards, the blood eclipse pack finds themselves thrown into turmoil, their happy endings slipping away once again. Now Malia finds herself trapped between her new Luna duties in the world of the werewolves with her mate Ty, while also trying to explore her new found abilities as a witch and wanting to connect with this family that was stolen from her years before her time. While Ty just wants to protect his pack and finally find his happily ever after with his mate, this seems far from possible with the return of an ancient witch coven, ready to declare war on the werewolves.

Malia has always lived her life by her mother's rules, and up until this point she's been okay with that. After all, she was a straight A student, dating one of the most popular boys in school, and captain of the girl's field hockey team. But when her boyfriend turned out to be a cheater and her friends fake, Malia finds herself dying to break out of her mother's chains and her dad has handed her the perfect ticket. Malia's life is turned upside down when she breaks her mother's number one rule and decides to spend her last summer before college visiting her dad in a small Florida town that is home to one of North America's largest werewolf populations.Everything about this town tells Malia she doesn't belong and should run for the hills, but then comes Ty. He's charming, funny, a rule-breaker, and the total opposite of Malia's usual crowd. But when she looks into his eyes Malia can't help but feel like she's at home. A summer that Malia thought was just going to be a short escape from her boring life becomes a journey uncovering the secrets of her past and falling in love with someone she never imagined.

“You could’ve gotten yourself killed!” He took one more big step forwards so his chest was almost pressing against mine. His blue eyes lit up with his anger, blazing on mine and capturing me all at once. His hair was messed up beneath his mask as if he’d been running his hands through it and it made me want to reach up and knot my own hands in it. All I could do was stay frozen under his intense gaze, trembling not in the aftermath of today’s events, but in fear that he may never forgive me. In fear that I would never see him like this again. “Never do that again” Onyx whispered this time, his voice calming in alignment with his now softening eyes. His hand cupped my cheek, and I swear I could see his eyes begin to water. The anger that he had held seemed to fade away, and instead he pleaded with me. I nodded my head, still unable to move. He had never been this close to me before. My chest pressed against his and I could feel the rise and fall of his breath. “Forgive me,” he whispered and before I could wonder what he meant his lips were crashing down onto mine. I froze only momentarily to ponder whether this was really happening, but as his lips moved against mine I felt my body come alive. I was kissing Onyx, he was kissing me, and it was like the whole world around us had come to a stop. Up until now, Allison had survived her entire high school career unscathed. With less than 4 months until graduation, she’s got her life all figured out. She’s secured a stable part time job that allows her to save money for school while also working side by side with her best friend, and is already making plans to attend her dream college in the fall. But all this changes when Allison catches danger’s eye and is suddenly running into Onyx, San Fransisco’s local superhero more than she’d like to. While she was never one of the screaming fan girls begging for Onyx’s attention, Allison has caught it and now she can’t help but wonder - who’s behind the mask?
