PROLOGUE (ORIGINS-IN THE PAST) JUNE 1ST, 2050 "There is no understanding on exactly what it is that is happening right now. The CDC and other infection control agencies are not responding to any of our inquiries thus far. All we know is that this virus, or whatever it is, is extremely contagious and extremely dangerous. It so far has an extremely high mortality rate." the reporter said, sounding as stressed as he looked. "This is very bad, very bad." Nancy said, shaking her head as she turned away from the TV. She looked up at her husband, who looked at her solemnly. "Jasmine is going to grow up in this. Do you think she will make it to adulthood? With the way this virus is going?" "Yes, honey. We are figuring it out. You just stay in the house. The house is nice and secure, William and Marcia are on their way to stay with you just in case. My team and I are wo

*SEBASTIAN* "Where is the Raiser family?" Alpha Sebastian asked his beta, Theo. "They're a few hours south of Ashford. They're having a lot of really bad sand storms down there right now. I know the Raiser daughter is in Ashford right now, as well as a member of another hunter family. Don't know which one." "Find out. Do you know if they know about us yet?" "I believe they do, sir." "Which means they'll come after us hard." "Not necessarily. The human that owns the bar down in Ashford, Sammy, said that another hunter was loudly talking about the branding and ceremony of the Raiser daughter and that she would be sent after you." "Ha, a little girl? Really?" "She's twenty-five, sir. And she has a reputation that matches yours. No offense. She is extremely tough. Very strong. Though very small, she is... she shouldn't be underestimated." "I guess I can't laugh too hard now, can I? She is a raiser, after all. If you're comparing her reputation to mine as equals,

*JASON RAISER* The scientists tried to mimic Jason's mutations but couldn't prevail for the longest time. Their only hope was that he could reproduce. They gathered a dozen women who passed all the physical and mental health tests and fertilized their eggs with Jason's sperm. Eight women survived birth, and only two babies lived. Among testing what had happened, they found the two surviving babies shared certain DNA markers the others did not. Through the sequencing, they realized that to make new hunters, they needed very specific women with specific markers. They were only able to successfully inject three fetuses with Jason's virus, and it created hunters like him, though to find out not as strong or powerful. This is when Jason came up with the mapping of DNA to allow the hunter genes to go on without inbreeding. "Jason, it's ascension day." Daniel said to his son. He mustered up a smile. The only time he could smile was when seeing his surviving, thriving son. The miracle

*CHARLES* TWENTY DAYS LEFT UNTIL THE ASCENSION OF BLAIRE RAISER Blaire was so powerful, even at her young age. She'd learned to walk by four months old to talk fluently by eight months. She was climbing and jumping on things like the agile little warrior she was by a year and a half. She'd progressed faster than any of the family, of any family, ever known in hand to hand combat, swordsmanship, and archery. She could use throwing knives and combat knives better than just about anyone. By the time she was five, she'd grown into what seemed almost like an adult. She was sure of herself, analytical of the choices she made, quick-witted and brave. She stood up for her beliefs even then, and all these traits strengthened and solidified within her more and more as she got older. The families respected her as a Raiser, but as she aged, they didn't respect her for her name. They respected her for her abilities. They respected her for the person she was. She could enter a room, and her

*BLAIRE* Blaire had just gotten out of the shower and put on a tank top and black panties before bed. The mission turned out to be much quicker than expected since the vampires stupididly brought themselves to her. She rubbed her hands together and touched her fingertips that still seemed to tingle from touching the massive werewolf. She'd never come into contact with an alpha like him. That shock was painful and intense, and it freaked her out. She'd never felt that before and wasn't sure what it meant. She turned off the main light in the room and went to the desk to turn that light off, but a burst of the door and it slammed she didn't have a chance to turn around and she was pinned against the desk. She tried to fight, but he was much stronger than she was. Hence why she needed to ascend. Blaire knew exactly who was pinning her down like that, wrapping his arms around her tightly. "This isn't a very good idea for you to be doing this." She said calmly. He released a purr in
