Cursed to choose the fate of her species, Faith is left with an impossible decision. Will she follow her heart and let the ancient evil lurking in the shadows prevail or will she choose to step into the darkness to save them all?

Faith
After nearly a decade of waiting I was finally marrying the love of my life. Or so I thought. After tragedy strikes and my wedding day turns into chaos, I didn't think I'd ever find happiness again, not until my best friend convinces me to take my honeymoon alone. With my father's blessing I depart on my journey to heal and deepen my bond with my wolf.

McCormick's bar was nothing spectacular to look at, and the tables needed sugar packets under all of them, but the vibe was good, and it was the only bar within a 25 miles radius on the Outer Banks, so it would have to do. I was content in drowning my sorrows in cider when he bulldozed his way into my bubble and didn't just burst it, he annihilated it. He may be drop dead gorgeous to look at, but something about him brings out a side of myself I don't know what to do with. I hate the way he can see past the mask I hide behind.

It was easier to allow the denial of what he was to me take root than allow my hormones to do the thinking. But, he drew me in effortlessly, fooled me with gentle touches and reignited a fire I'd long thought was past being able to burn again. He slammed into all of my shields and destroyed them one at a time.
But, I messed up. When he needed me most, I let him down and it cut us both to the quick. So, when fate intervened and awakened a curse I knew nothing of, I'm ripped from that possible happiness and forced to endure my faults.
Will the lies I've been told all of my life ruin everything? Will my choice destroy me, or those I love?

Declan
After leaving the Army Special Forces and before heading home, I'd made my decision to not take over the pack. I didn't deserve to be much of anything. I was too broken to lead again. I was proven right after one horrifying night wrecked any doubts I had. I vowed to myself it would never happen again, so I ran and settled anew with the facts: I wasn't ever going to be alpha, and I would never get the other half of my soul.

Four years later I was mostly happy in my seaside bar, surrounded by people who'd accepted me despite my issues and all was decent in the world. Until she strolled up drunk and sunburned. Sassy and intoxicating, she shred my carefully planned out, quiet life and broke my vow.

I didn't deserve a mate, shouldn't have been given one. She would've been safer without me. But, fate never gives us what we want does she? No she gives you secrets and hidden powers, mates you didn't ask for, but end up not being to live without, only to crush you with them all later.

With vampires on the hunt, and the moon rising, secrets come to life that will destroy everything. An evil lurks in the shadows threatening to turn our world into upheaval.

Choices will be made and some hearts will break, while others thrive to life. Why does it have to mine?
