Nineteen years ago......a mother and her baby died during childbirth.But two minutes later, that baby CAME BACK TO LIFE.A miracle, according to everyone involved...However, that child grew up to hate her life because it''s been nothing but a trip through hell.Yes, you guessed it. I''m that child, Ruby Saunders.The truth is, at birth my fate was sealed. I was saved by a God, chosen to be a vessel used to save a dying world.I didn''t ask for any of this.Now after meeting my father the truth about my birth and my power is finally revealed.I was saved by a GOD at birth...given divinity to spare my life.But...why?Still the end of the world is upon us as the vampire threat grows stronger......and I fear it won''t be a pleasant end.I''m living on borrowed time and...I fear the life that was spared so many years ago will have to be REPAID.
With a war raging between vampires, humans, and werewolves......the world has been thrown into a state of CHAOS.Humans are selfish creatures that believe the world belongs to them and only them.Despite the fact that werewolves hate vampires and want them gone as much as the humans do, they are being hunted along with the vampires.I didn''t know what was happening when I single-handedly killed two vampires when they attacked me.It released something hidden deep within me, and now I''m wanted by vampires, werewolves, and humans.I''m a freak among freaks.Now I''m the hunted among the hunted, running for my life with my knights by my side, my two alphas, Xavier and Axel.But what the hell is happening to me?!Everything is changing.The world is coming to an end.
So much in my life has changed...At first, Axel, Xavier, and I were divided, but now we are on the run together from the Council to save our lives. Unfortunately, we collided with something so much WORSE in the process.Werewolves thought that vampires no longer existed after they wiped them off the face of the planet......but it turns out that information was bullsh*t.Vampires weren''t extinct at all.They created cities hidden underground and have been replenishing their ranks for decades, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike back. In that time, the werewolves, their natural rivals and greatest enemies, have forgotten their scent.They''ve forgotten how to fight them.To make matters worse, I''m now plagued with odd visions no one understands. Oh, and no one bothered to tell me a vampire''s bite would feel like acid burning through my veins.Do you remember when I said I was cursed?My life can''t get much worse than this, right?Wrong! It can.
I must have been CURSED from birth......and that is becoming clearer with every passing day.My ankles are swollen from the chains around them, my tongue feels like sandpaper, and the dripping water in the jail cell beside mine is so close, yet so far away.For the first time in werewolf history, two wolves have the same mate.The same woman was blessed by their goddess to be their partner for eternity, and I''m that woman.Yeah, that''s not a blessing to me...It''s bad enough I''m a human and unworthy of being a wolf''s mate, but now I''m the mate to two rival wolves, two alphas-to-be.Xavier and I have grown close......but Axel Grimmwolf, eye candy and a man no one dares stand against, is disgusted by the thought of a human being as his mate.But even so, he lacks the strength to reject me...So here I am, chained up in his dungeon, with no idea what Axel will do with me after he uses me to get rid of Xavier''s pack.Assuming I live that long...I know Xavier is searching for me, but what if he doesn''t find me in time?What if this is how I''m meant to die?
