"Daisy, please don't run away from me like this," Nicolas pleaded from behind. His purple eyes were looking as always mysterious in the dim street light. Daisy stopped in front of her car and turned her head to see the person who was demanding her attention and asked in a cold and low tone, "Why will I run from someone I don't even know?" "Don't say that you don't even know the person with whom you were madly in love, without seeing me your days used to be incomplete." Daisy replied nonchalantly without even looking at the most handsome celebrity of the city, "Exactly. I was and I don't want to repeat my mistake." Then without waiting, Daisy opened the door of her car and immediately a six years old little boy jumped on her while shouting excitedly, "Mommmmyyy." "Mommy? You are married? Or it is just the son of Lucas?" Nicolas blurted out in a confused tone. A sharp pain of emptiness started to engulf him, seeing the little kid. Daisy didn't reply to the last question. Flashing a mocking smile, she got in the car and asked the driver to start the car. Her little son was playing on her lap. Daisy placed an affectionate kiss on his forehead and his purple eyes sparkled happily in the dim light of the car. __________________ Three teen students' lives messed up after a stormy night and broke their hearts into pieces.

Taking a shortcut through a dark and remote alley on Halloween night proved to be a life changing decision of research scientist, Jasper Greene. Bitten by a zombie and brutally attacked by a group of werewolves, he was left for dead only to be discovered and rescued by a vampire king who took him home to heal. Delighted to discover that Jasper's research was on genetics with a focus on elongating life (for which he often used himself as a test subject due to lack of money), the vampire king assigned him the task of shifting the vampire DNA so that it was less obvious what they were when in the company of humans. With his assistant, Lila, in tow he was provided a lab and set to work. With toxins from werewolves and zombies mingling with the vampire blood he was provided during his healing time, Jasper struggled to adjust to his new body while he did his best to accommodate the vampires until the opportunity to escape presented itself. But, where does a man who has vampire, werewolf and zombie traits go? "The Beginning", is book 1 of the Jasper series.
