“Alastair, whatever human you choose from that building will be nothing more than bait. Surely, Caris is too far gone to understand that this child is more than something to satiate her hunger! Are you willing to risk that for her-” “A human?” I impatiently took a step towards Toran, restraining myself from grabbing him up by the collar. “Yes! I will gladly risk a human’s life!” I exclaimed my words bordering on desperation. “Whether it be a child or an infant. If it brings Caris back! If..if the baby can keep her sane for but a moment long enough for me to get through to her, then I will do whatever it takes.” I hadn’t realized how sure I was about this plan until I said it out loud to Toran. Sure, it was a cruel plan, but I was bordering on desperation at this point. Valene was an infant when she was adopted from the Caring Arms Orphanage by the Alpha of Shadow Veil, Alastair Wade.

Crushing the diagnosis in my pocket, I decided that I was going to live the rest of my life for myself, even if I did not have much time left.

Zeeland stared at me with pure untainted disgust, and my heart picked up speed. “Zee?” What's wrong?” “You’re a Vampire?” He asked in a strangled voice. I was suddenly aware of my fangs which had sprouted while I'd lost control. “It’s not what you think, Zee.” I said, reaching out for him. He backed away. “You’re a hybrid. An abomination.” He sneered. I swallowed hard. “I’m your mate, Zee.” I said, digging my nails into the sheets, as I retracted my fangs slowly. “Mate?” His emotionless chuckle stabbed straight into my heart. “Not only are you a hybrid, an abomination, but you're also an Omega. What makes you think you'll ever be my mate?” I stilled. “Zee-” “I, Zeeland Bastien, reject you, Jaslyn Laural as my mate.” ★★ Born into a race where being a hybrid was an abomination, Jaslyn Laural struggles to keep her secret for years.
