You ever wonder how your life can change so drastically in a matter of minutes? I once thought that I had the best life. I was surrounded by friends who protected me, a mother who loved me with all she had, and all the happiness in the world. All of that changed the day my mom announced that she was getting married. To a member of the Inferno Demons motorcycle club. It wasn't that I didn't like the club, or my stepfather. In fact, I was the reason that they had met in the first place. It was what came after that shocked my world. I thought being step-siblings with one of the people I was closest to would be the best thing to ever happen to me, but it was the exact opposite. Overnight my life changed. My five biggest protectors and closest friends started shutting me out. I was ignored, forgotten, and pushed aside. But I never said a thing. I just took it all, hoping that things would go back to normal. Maybe they grew sick of me. Maybe I just didn't fit in with this biker lifestyle. I was growing accustomed to my new life, sort of, when things changed again. A father that I knew nothing about, haven't seen since I was too young to remember had suddenly popped into my life. He was a stranger. Granted, he tried to visit me while he fought my mom for custody of me. I wish I had known that he had a snowball's chance in hell of winning that custody battle. I was promised I'd get to come home to see my mom. I was promised that my being forced to leave wasn't the end. I was promised that two years would fly by, and I might even have a little fun. I was promised a lot of things. And all of them ended up empty. Nobody cared. Nobody checked on me. Nobody called, texted, visited. Not that they would have been allowed to. My sperm donor (as I like to call him), had lied. Straight threw his teeth. To all of us. Me, my mom, the judge, everyone. And he got away with it. For over a year I endured pain and abuse. I was beaten into submission. I was turned into someone that wasn't me. When I escaped the first time, I finally realized why no one had checked up on me. I thought that my mom would have been riddled with guilt, but... that wasn't the case. The lies my stepsister spread about me had gotten worse after I was forced to leave. Everyone took her side, including my mom. Of course, I was found again. Or rather, given back to avoid more drama. My own mother handed me back to the man who was responsible for the black eye I had, the welts on my back, the... nightmares that I had. She handed me over like I was an object, and that was when I realized that there was no hope left for me. That was the day that the first crack formed in my heart. Despite all that I had been through, I still thought I had people who loved me. I thought I had five protectors who were waiting for me, I thought I had a mother who would have given her life for me, I thought that I had somewhere safe to go. But it was all a lie. I had been looking at life through rose-colored glasses, and now they were officially off. That crack spread slowly, oh, so slowly, but it was there. It started. It was too late. I had officially given up, but not in the docile sense. No, if anything, I became more of a problem. And that was what I wanted; to be a problem for everyone. Until I met him. For once, the noise in my head was quiet, the pain in my chest eased the slightest, and for the briefest of moments, I felt safe. He made me realize that's what I had been craving. Safety. And he handed it to me on a silver platter. I should have chucked those rose-colored glasses the moment I took them off instead of holding onto them with the last sliver of hope I possessed. Maybe I would have saw the signs sooner. Maybe I would have picked up on the lies before that ring was on my finger. Maybe I could have avoided another disappointment in my life. But that would be too easy. That would be too nice. That would be... apparently, not what I deserve. However, I was not going down this time. I was done being made a fool. I was done being abused. I was done being forced. So, I took one last shot. Just one more. If I died because of it, so be it, but if I survived... If I could really get far enough away... I could live. I could really live. I could start over. I could be free. But freedom always comes at a cost. I should have known I would be caught. I shouldn't have let five years of freedom get to my head. I should have been more careful. Because now I'm found again, but this time it wasn't my sperm donor who had found me, or my husband, or my mother. It was Karma, the president of the Inferno's Demons MC, the boy who used to wipe my tears and bandaged me up when I scrapped my knees, and he looked pissed to see me. Why did Karma have to steal me away from my quiet life? Is he going to send me back to my sperm donor and husband? Does he know what I've been through? Do any of them even care? And why is he so pissed about a promise that they broke first?

**************** Part of the Morningstar series ****************** Years and years of working for the Morningstar family, and I couldn't be happier. Missions are my life. Same with my bestie, Nix. We were born to fight, to protect. It's in our blood. Of course, me being me, I'm extreme in everything, including my strong drive to protect others. It's gotten me into a bit of trouble my entire life. I never cared though. I always managed to make things work. The Morningstar's are people who I look up to. Especially Kee. Pops and I are particularly close too. Although, he thinks I'm irritating most of the time, but he still loves me like another grandchild. That was why I was so happy that I could help him. I could give the Devil a happy ending. A well-deserved one. Even if it meant helping to kick him off his throne. I thought he'd hate me forever. However, all the happy endings in all the realms couldn't save me from the trouble I got into this time. I really dug myself deep with the Dark Mother. I made an enemy of her, and now all the Gods know that I'm doomed. Doomed because of the stipulations they forced on me. With my power so uncontrollable... How am I supposed to defeat her? Answer: I can't. So, I ran away. Just to buy myself some time. Well, actually, it wasn't a choice either Nix or I had. It was forced on us. As usual. We were sent to another realm; a realm called Qayta. A realm that no one ever visits. The only people who are allowed to go there, are other Gods, if, and only if, they are invited. Outsiders are not allowed. Imagine our surprise with Posey (Poseidon, the water God) got us invites. Not only invites, but protection too. Apparently the two Gods that look over that realm agreed to allow Nix and I to hide out there. Guess they aren't scared of the Dark Mother coming for me. Though, they ended seeming like normal guys, the one God was a total creep. I keep catching him staring at me, and he keeps cornering me, and my Gods... I think I might like it. I hate that this stupid, unbelievably gorgeous man is making me question waiting for my mate. He won't win me over. No way. No how. Absolutely... not! ********************************************************* Bex really did it this time. She really dug us deep. Granted, it was deserved. I don't blame her. Hell, I would have done the same thing. Of course, I could never defeat a God like Bexley can. I'm just a Fae and a Werewolf. I might have power of my own thanks to some ancient something or other, but I couldn't kill a God. My best friend needs to stop taking so much on. I fear that she's going to get weighed down. She needs her mate. Or a break at the very least. That was why I reached out to Poseidon. I know he has a thing for Bex even if he won't admit it to himself. I told him what had happened with the Dark Mother and all her threats. They pretended like they already knew somehow. Bex assumed it was Kee. I wasn't expecting them to say what they did though. I just thought that they would hide us until the Dark Mother calmed down. I get why they did it, but it wasn't fair. Bexley has never done anything for power. She does everything to save everyone else. They treated her like some power-hungry Demi-God who was getting a bit too bold for their liking. If Bex ever finds out I'm the one who told them... she'll hate me. So, I kept it to myself. It killed me, but I did it anyway. I went to Qayta with Bex. I smiled, I laughed, I acted like nothing was eating me up on the inside. Bexley didn't notice anything off with me, but I was thankful for that. However, I was also pretty distracted myself. With several things. One being that I was trying to figure out what ancient power was inside me. Two, I wanted to figure out how to help Bexley with the dark energy she struggles to control. Three... I had unexpectedly met my mate. And I had no idea if he wanted me or not. As sh.itty as things are turning out to be... I'm just glad we have somewhere to hide out at. We need to come up with a plan for the Dark Mother. She's not going to stop until she absolutely destroys Bexley, and I can't let that happen. So, I'll just bide my time. I'll hide out here. I'll gather as much information as I can. I'll try to form a plan. All before taking it to Bexley. She deserves a break, and I know two particular Gods that seem to have all of her attention lately. The Dark Mother is the most formidable foe though. She's the oldest God in existence. She's powerful and ruthless. And I fear that not even with the Morningstars' help will we be able to defeat her. But I have to try. For Bexley. For the girl who saved me, even though it cost her, her soul. ******************************************************* Read all about Bexley and Nix's adventures! You'll get more information and progression from previous books as well! Find out what happens next!

Ottilyn is a normal teenage girl. Well, a normal and overweight teenage girl. Ottilyn has been made fun of her entire life for being overweight. That's what happens when you're from a small rich town. But Otti isn't a timid kind of girl. She stands up for herself to the bullies. Well... most of them anyway. Pierce Campbell is the schools most popular boy. He's a football star, rich, and handsome. The only problem is... he has a bad attitude. Pierce was always Otti's biggest bully. Ever since they were kids. He picked on Ottie every chance he got and teased her the most about her weight. Otti always had a hatred for Pierce because of that, but... She could never stand up to him for some reason. Not as well as everyone else. There was just something about Pierce that made Otti... forget what was going on around her. That is, until the end of year party came. The end of their junior year, Otti got invited to the big end of year party that happens every year. She thought she was invited by accident but was still going to go. To prove to all the bullies that she's tough. Unfortunately, going to the party was a mistake. It was the worst night of Otti's life. She ended up stealing a bottle of liqour, and leaving on her own. Otti's memory of that night wasn't too good, but she remembers talking to someone. A boy that she had never met before, but his blury sillohette was the only thing she remembered. However, Otti wakes up the next morning with a new determination. One that her gym-crazy best friend, Trina can help her with. And they get started. Over the summer, Trina and Otti work hard to shed the extra weight. By the time school is starting again, Otti looks like a whole new person. She dropped all her extra weight, and stayed out of the public eye for the most part. However, losing weight didn't exactly stop the bullies at school like Otti thought. Most of them did stop bullying her, and turned to hitting on her, but some of them... Well, they seemed jealous. It wasn't until a few days into the new school year that Otti met someone else. A new guy who was more than nice to her. Kerian Powell, a bad boy with a sweet and flirtatious personality. Otti soon finds herself enjoying Kerian's company. He's kind, thoughtful, and best of all, he isn't pushy or a bully. However, that seemed to irritate Pierce. Otti wasn't sure why Pierce started to act crazy towards Kerian. She didn't understand it. Otti especially didn't understand Pierce when he kissed her for the first time. Or touched her in special places. Or especially when Pierce took her in the most intimate ways. Otti hated herself for letting her bully have her, but thankfully... Kerian was there to help distract her during her lowest times. That distraction came with a price though. The price of Otti's morals. Is it even okay to be screwing two guys at the same time? During Otti's lowest point, when she's beating herself up for everything she's done with Pierce and Kerian... Something else happens. Letters start to pop up at Otti's house, her job, and even the animal shelter where she volunteers. It was harmless at first. Like having a secret admirer. Until things get worse. The letters start to come with pictures. Then with threats. Otti starts to become worried about this secret admirer. They're borderline stalking her. Things progress, getting worse and worse. With a mom who is never home due to work, a dead dad, and a little brother to take care of... Otti has no idea what to do. The police are no help. She's too afraid to tell her mom. Otti's only escape and the only time that she feels safe is when she's with either Kerian or Pierce. She doesn't understand it, but at one point... She needs them with her all the time. And little does Otti know just how crazy her two secret men really are, or how far they're willing to go for Otti. So, the only questions left are: Who is this secret admirer? Why are they so obsessed with Otti? How do they know her? Will they stop and finally leave her along? And most importantly... Who is Otti going to choose?
