Tara terbangun di ranjang pria yang tak seharusnya, dengan ingatan yang kabur dan kenyataan yang mengerikan: ia dituduh hamil oleh keluarga sendiri. Dipojokkan, dihina, bahkan ditampar oleh ayahnya, Tara tahu—ada rahasia besar yang disembunyikan, dan ia dijadikan kambing hitamnya. Ketika cinta, pengkhianatan, dan kehormatan bertabrakan, Tara harus memilih: tunduk pada tekanan... atau melawan segalanya demi kebenaran.

16 year old Scarlet Paine finds herself changing in mysterious ways. She is becoming sensitive to light, able to read peoples’ thoughts, and is faster and stronger than she’s ever been. She doesn’t understand what’s happening to her, and tries to ignore it. But she can only dismiss it for so long.

Caitlin Paine, her mom, knows too well what’s happening to her daughter. She underwent the same transformation to vampire once, centuries ago. But now, in the present day, as a mere human, she has no memory of it. All she has is the journal she found in the attic—her mysterious vampire journal—telling of her exploits in another time and place, and of the vampire race being eradicated. But was there one exception to the rule? Could it be that Scarlet, her daughter, is the last remaining vampire on earth?

As Scarlet tries to fight who she’s becoming, she also tries to fight her intense feelings for Blake, a boy in her grade who she has a crush on. She can’t tell, though, if he’s into her, and with the big Halloween dance just days away, the pressure is on. She would do anything for Blake to ask her. But Vivian, the meanest of the popular girls, is also on Blake’s radar, and she’ll do anything to make Blake hers—and to make Scarlet’s life a living hell.

Luckily Scarlet has her own clique of friends to back her up, including her best friends Maria and Jasmin. They, too, have guy troubles—but it isn’t until Sage appears, the mysterious new boy, that her friends become obsessed. Scarlet finds herself attracted to him, too—and is surprised when it is her, of all the girls in the school, that he pays attention to. But her mind is set on Blake, at least for now, and she continues to hope he’ll ask her to the dance.

Just when it seems that Scarlet has what she wants, her body changes. Soon it may be impossible for her to be near her fellow humans. Soon, she may have to choose between her desire to live and her desire for love.

Scarlet has returned to her old pack, broken, haunted by nightmares, and desperate to rebuild her life. Alpha Roman has also returned to the pack for revenge and retribution for the murder of his sister. Scarlet had to deal with a lot of terrible things happening in and around her life, but the last thing she could deal with was a matebond that wasn't properly severed. Alpha Roman wanted to be a part of her life, but first, he had to get rid of the man who tried to claim Scarlet as his and also wanted her dead. Roman had just one promise for the woman whose heart he broke. “From tonight, I’ll unbreak you.” He said, his eyes holding a promise he vowed to keep for eternity.

Pinatay ang magulang at kapatid ni Scarlet nang mga kalalakihan na di nila kilala. Nagising na lang siya na wala ng buhay ang kanyang pamilya at nag-iisa na lamang siya. "Ibibigay ko sa inyo ang hustisya na nararapat para sa inyo, ipinapangako ko iyan, ang kamatayan ninyo ang paghuhugutan ko ng lakas, para hanapin ang mga salarin na naging sanhi ng inyong kamatayan," lumuluhang sambit ni Scarlet sa harapan ng puntod ng kanyang pamilya, sa bawat salita na binitawan niya ay tila isang pangako para sa kanyang pamilya na pinaslang ng walang kalaban-laban. Galit at pagkasuklam ang nasa puso ng dalaga, para sa mga taong gumawa noon sa kanila. Kaya sa pagpunta niya sa Maynila ay nakilala niya si Lance Dela Piña na isang negosyante. Si Lance na kaya ang makakapagpabago sa pananaw ni Scarlet? Mahihilum kaya ni Lance ang sugatang puso ni Scarlet, dahil sa pagkawala ng kanyang pamilya? Mapapawi kaya ni Lance ang galit at puot na nasa puso ng dalaga! Ang binata na kaya ang makakapigil kay Scarlet para sa paghihiganti na gagawin nito? Paano kung may malaman na isang sekreto si Scarlet tungkol sa kanyang tunay na pagkatao? Paano kung malaman din niya na ang taong tumulong sa kanya ay siyang naging dahilan ng kamatayan ng kanyang pamilya.

Ajarin apa?" “Ajarin aku… ciuman.” Satu kalimat itu menyeret Biya ke dunia bahaya dan gairah yang tak pernah ia bayangkan.
