Once upon a time, humankind ruled the world while lycans and vampires lived in secret. 

This is no longer that time.

Chastely Bitten 

It is my duty to obey, to give my body and blood to a vampire master until he no longer has use for me. 

There is no escape. Nowhere to run. Follow the rules or die.

Royally Bitten 

Blood Day-the culmination of my training. The day I find out my fate. 

I will not cry.¿I will not beg.¿I will remain calm. 

Emotions are for the weak, and I am not weak. 

My name is Rae and I will survive this. 

But I never expected¿him¿to call my name...

Regally Bitten 

An arranged marriage? F*ck. This. 

I'm an alpha female lycan. I choose my future. Not society. Not my father. And certainly not him.

Welcome to the future where the superior bloodlines make the rules. 

Proceed at your own risk...

"Darius," I breathed as darkness dimmed the stars. Some part of me knew we were heading down a dangerous path. I struggled to emerge enough to warn him, to beg him...

"D..." My mouth felt dryer than it should. Heavy. I tried to lick my lips but couldn't move my tongue.

Everything felt so much cooler than moments ago.

Numb.

Darius.

Midnight consumed my vision as I blinked into a starless night.

So alone.

I always expected to die...

I never expected to want to live.

Until today.

Until Darius inspired hope.

Another cruel Vampire joke.

I should have known...
