The State of Things
Existing in the shadows of our world are supernatural races; children blessed by the ancient Greek gods with uni a two-thousand-year old ith one another The Midnight Coven, an alliance of dark ik, believe that the vampyres and lykans are lesser supernaturals and a threat to ht Coven, a confederate of light iks, faeries, vampyres and lykans who believe in the equality of the races
Into this war eighteen-year old Caia Ribeiro is born…a lykan with a heritage unlike any other A consequence of the ods and fate, Caia is unique – a half-lykan, half-water ik And to hter of the Head of the Midnight Coven: Caia is half-Daylight, half-Midnight No one is quite sure of the extent of Caia’s abilities, not even her ht Coven All they know is that after her explosive killing of her Uncle Ethan, Caia is the heir apparent, and with it has trace ik - the ability to sense the eht Coven The pack, Marita, and all their allies, believe Caia is the key to bringing down the Midnights But Caia is not so sure Not only is she an eighteen year old girl trying to co fros for the pack’s Alpha, Lucien; excited but terrified by her htened by the contradiction of the traceto realize that the war isn’t all black and white There are iks who have long forgotten why the war began, hts ould just as happily see the war to an end Is the trace wrong? Is she going insane or just falling to the other side? Because everyone close to her would believe her to be a traitor if she shared her concerns… wouldn’t they?
And if all that wasn’t enough her best friend, Jaeden, is stillrescued from the malevolent clutches of Caia’s Uncle Ethan Caia had seen through Ethan’s eyes the atrocities he co body and mind, and only she understands Jaeden’s need to be separate from the pack for a while
However… perhaps it’s best Caia isn’t fully aware of Jaeden’s true situation It would be just onepile of responsibilities For not only is Jae out hunting rogue vaainst the Coven, as the law constitutes that only a vaue vaue lykan - she has even bigger proble with her body and ik to torture her, soht?
Otherwise, where did her daer
"Son of a-" Jaeden launched into a so towards her head, and whipped around frorass in tiirl screaround as she clutched her bleeding artery
"You bitch!" Blondie screeched, glaring at her as Jaeden stood up and began sauntering towards her with an inti lack of fear The wound caused the valoith deadly intent
"Ouch" Jaeden winced wryly "Your oh so original comeback is like a veritable stake to the heart" She sers brushed the line of steel blades she had strapped to her belt
Blondie hissed, her incisors lengthening slowly "My boyfriend is not going to likehome wounded"
Jae chuckled "Oh honey, you’ve been such a bad little girl, chewing on hu to be a little bithoh that co Coven laws? What about you wolf girl?"
That didn’t even deserve a response She was breaking Coven laws for the co huave her a little ‘somethinˈ somethinˈ’ Yeah, she wondered how the bf felt about that
Sighing, Jaeden opened her leather jacket and pulled out the small axe she kept hidden there The vainally, and then shuttered when she realized Jaeden atching for her reaction
"So, Vae of the axe off of the heel of her palm "You ready to un on the ground cutting off Jaeden’s unoriginal parting quip With a flick of her wrist, Jaeden pushed with her rass inches fro into Jae’s outstretched and waiting hand Nonchalantly she tucked the gun into the other side of her belt and sirl’s face
"I thought you were just a lykan," she breathed, real panic noirling in her gaze
Jae shrugged "I aik?"
