Cora is unique among the vampires in Gray Vale. She is half fae. She has a beating heart. And she can bring life to the vampires around her, allowing them the ability to die when they desire it rather than being cursed with the same dreadful existence for eternity. Cora’s gift makes available this “death by desire” that is prized in the vampire world. Offering life to vampires is a beautiful gift, but it can also be used as a weapon. And that is what the royal family of vampires wishes to do. With no other choice, she must marry into the royal family for protection from those who are threatened by her ability. But when a “pet” lycan is gifted to her who is her true mate, will she find a way to break off the engagement, threatening her family and everyone else she loves in the process? Can her mate's lycan pack possibly win against the vampires who do not want to part with her? Or will they be forced apart? Published exclusively on Webnovel.

Theo was standing at the back door staring out into the back woods, thinking about how he was going to deal with his future Beta lying right to his face without batting an eyelash. There was no excuse. It didn't matter if David had thought that it was important—he should have just come straight to Theo with the truth about his concerns rather than lying and involving his mother.
"He was playing on my family's weakness," Theo squinted into the sunlight, swallowing roughly. "David knew if he brought up my mother that my father would intervene in the way he was hoping. How could he do that? How could he think that was okay?"
