To Ashes And Blood

Silver burned. Holy light seared. I screamed my brother’s name, Theron, into the communication crystal. My consciousness was fading. His cold voice finally crackled through. "What now?" I fought through the pain, my voice weak. "Theron, please… help me…" He cut me off, his voice a razor's edge. "Enough! Lilith is hosting the Blood Moon Festival. Stop causing trouble. If you’re tormenting her out of jealousy again, I’ll throw you in the sun cells myself." The line went dead. Lilith. Our manipulative little adoptive sister. Was she really more important to him than his own blood? The silver poison and searing light consumed me. I shattered. My tears turned to ash, my body right behind them. Congratulations, Theron. You're free of your annoying sister. You don't have to lock me up anymore. Because I'm already dead.

A very long time ago, there was a pact between a powerful wolf and a very talented witch, a pact to save a life in exchange for great wealth and power. But along the line, things didn't go as planned and the result was the death of the future Luna and her heir. Enraged, the powerful wolf scorched earth on all witches and that was what started the Hex wars. Fast forward to the current time, the slave girl, Rebekka Kent, due to her exceptional blood line is drawn into a tussle of power – after saving his life and then being rejected by the current heir of the alpha, she is found by a dark and mysterious stranger who claims her as his. Her life takes a different turn as her mate regrets his decision and wants her back but the dark stranger refuses to give her up. Rebekka discovers a power within herself that alludes to something, a power that can tip the balance of power and shape the very outcome of the Hex wars. Torn between her two lovers, Rebekka has to make up her mind who to back as her decision would affect the outcome of the war. Does she choose Stephan, the man she shares a blood bond with and the heir of the alpha or Damon, the mysterious stranger with a surprising past who saved her life? Does she come out of this alive or does the forces against her succeed in claiming her power for themselves as the war reaches its climax.

Sa ilalim ng katahimikan ng Hacienda Cortez ay nag-aalab ang apoy ng kasalanan at paghihiganti. Matapos ang limang taon ng paglalakbay sa dilim, bumalik si Don Rafael Cortez, ang pinakabatang pinuno ng sindikatong Cortez, upang ipaghiganti ang pagkamatay ng kanyang kapatid. Ngunit sa kanyang pagbabalik, nakatadhana siyang makaharap ang anak ng kanyang kalaban—Selena Villafranca, ang babaeng may dugo ng kaaway at apoy ng pag-ibig sa kanyang mga mata. Ginawang bihag ni Rafael si Selena bilang kabayaran ng dugo. Ngunit sa bawat gabi ng katahimikan, unti-unting nagbabago ang hangin sa pagitan nila, mula sa galit tungo sa pagnanasa, at mula sa kasalanan tungo sa pagtubos. Sa gitna ng abo ng Hacienda Cortez, kailangan nilang pumili: pag-ibig na magpapalaya o sumpang magtatapos sa kanila.

On the fourth day after our son died, I decided to end my military marriage. Before that, I spent three days taking care of what remained of him. On the first day, I tricked my wife into signing the cremation papers. On the second day, I went to my son's school and collected the textbooks he never had the chance to use. On the third day, I prepared a table full of his favorite dishes and begged my wife to come home so we could celebrate his birthday one last time. She agreed. Then she turned around, claimed she had a mission, and spent the entire night setting off fireworks with her childhood sweetheart. That night, I sat beside my son's memorial photo and ate alone. The next day, she came home looking guilty and handed me a brand new backpack. She said it was a gift for our son to use at school. She did not know that our child would never live to see his first day of school.

I wasn’t meant to survive. My sister killed me, and I should have stayed dead. Instead, I woke in Lenore, a nightmare kingdom built on blood and lies. Here, monsters wear human faces, and Hunters like me are forced into a system that counts every kill and punishes every weakness. They gave me a body that isn’t mine. A name that isn’t mine. A life I never chose. And now I can’t run. I can’t escape. I can only fight… and hunger. Because it isn’t just the monsters that consume me. It’s the men who circle too close. One forged from shadows, dangerous in his silence, the kind of man whose restraint makes me want to shatter it. The other drips temptation like poison, every word a sin, every touch a fire I shouldn’t survive, and yet I reach for him anyway. I shouldn’t need them. I shouldn’t crave them. But I do. God, I do. And while I’m torn between danger and desire, Lenore itself is tearing apart. The Houses want me erased. The monsters want my blood. And the truth of who I really am will destroy everything.
