“We are not mates, Dain! And even if we were, I would have rejected you the second the connection was made. I want no one like you in my life. The only reason I am tolerating you is because we are working together towards a common goal but do not think for one second that I will not kill you the first chance I get! After everything you have done to me, I feel nothing but hatred for you.” I try to walk away. I spin on my heels but he grabs my hand and electricity shoots up my spine. I suck in a sharp breath, hating my body for betraying me and for feeling the way I do about him. This isn’t right. We are not fated to be together so why do I feel this way about him no matter how much I try to ignore it. “How do you sleep at night after lying to yourself this much?” His deep and sultry voice of whiskey and sin and twisted sheets attacks my senses and I want to slap him. I want to plunge a dagger into his heart and watch him bleed if that means I will stop feeling the way I do. He trails his fingers up my arm and I feel electrocuted with a thousand sparks of pleasure. “You keep saying you want to kill me and that’s understandable but please Amara, before you plunge a dagger into my heart, kiss me.” Dain Blackthorne is the alpha of the Ashenmore pack, Amara Vitalio belongs nowhere in his world but when evil threatens the survival of their species, the two will have to work together to defeat their enemies. What happens when the two wolves, who are not fated to be mates fall deeply in love with each other? It all starts with hate.

You see in the world I live in, there are many supernatural creatures with werewolves presently being at the top rank, next come the vampires, then the witches, and then you have my kind, the humans. We are the lowest in the ranking having no supernatural ability. With witches being almost extinct because the vampire army almost massacred them all, there was little to protect the human race from the wrath of the vampires. You see the witches were always on our side, but now fear has pushed them to live in isolation in the deepest parts of the most dangerous of forests. Long ago, we had an agreement with the werewolves and vampires in order to keep the peace. The rich humans would live a comfortable life with no fear of being eaten by the vampires and the poor were taken as slaves or used as breeders too keep the blood supply up. The vampires were the real threat to the human race. They used to be the most powerful before the werewolves took over. No one knows how the werewolves suddenly became more powerful than the vampires. It’s almost as if it happened over night. They became the supreme rulers of the world giving them the highest rank. They wanted power, so they took it. Humans and vampires now serve them. I was born into this world. A world of monsters. I was 15 years old when the war started. I was taken as a slave to be bought and sold to the werewolf lords. However, I have a plan. I will make them pay.
