Divina’s had it with the prophecy.
The vampire whose heart beats for a witch that belongs to a wolf shall save us all. He shall take his throne and rule over all kinds. If not, the vampire who belongs to the witch will end all kinds.
Divina’s not convinced the prophecy is about her. Her manipulative vampire ex-boyfriend, Rori, is reluctant to give up his love for her to pursue the throne. Meanwhile, the wolf shifter meant to claim Divina doesn’t believe in the prophecy. However, he does believe Divina is his mate.
With the pressures of the prophecy and the most powerful coven in the present-day United States, Divina is left to choose between complying with the prophecy and mating with Aric—or leaving it all behind to allow the catastrophic possibility of supernatural beings getting exposed to humans.
Excerpt 1:
Out in the middle of nowhere, with no clothes, and smelling the equivalent of filet mignon, his wolf had set him up well. Torn between the desire to investigate the fragrance, and maintaining human societal norms of modesty, Aric lingered under the cover of bushes and trees.

CRACK!
Metaphorical
thunderbolts splintered before his eyes. Pain shot through his skull as he flew
forward bracing himself on all fours. Aric’s hand reached to the back of his
head protectively and to check for bleeding.
“What the fuck!?”
he rumbled in confusion.
“Who are you?” a
feminine voice demanded.
Lifting his chest,
getting to his knees, Aric turned toward the sound of crunching leaves beneath
shuffling feet. Blinking a few times did nothing to cure his double vision. He
assumed he had a concussion. If he had been human, he’d be unconscious. The
pain in his head throbbed while Aric struggled to see properly.
“W-wh-why are you
naked?” the female voice questioned him.
Rising to his feet,
Aric shifted his position, in an attempt to both hide the chubby semi-erection
and to offer some modesty. It must have been interpreted as a sign of
aggression.
Aric heard the
whoosh and put his arm up to block the giant branch the female wielded as a
weapon. The vibration of pain ricocheted up his forearm when it collided with
the impromptu weapon. Aric howled and his eyes watered.
Aric twisted his
wrist, wrapped his fingers around the branch, and yanked. It came loose from
her hands quickly. He tossed the stick away and thanked his supernatural genes
and the strength given to him by his wolf, who, oddly, pranced about within him
with elation rather than recognizing the aggression the woman showed toward
them.
“Wha—” she gasped.
Still unable to see
her clearly, the blurry female form stepped back from him. Aric wobbled
slightly and fell to his knees again for stability.
Once his vision
slowly returned to normal, and in the glow of the moon, he gasped when he
finally laid focused eyes on her visage. Her high cheekbones, plump lips,
golden skin tone stunned him. His mouth fell open. The mass of dark waves
pulled into a messy pony shimmered in the moonlight giving her a halo effect.
Aric felt as if he knelt at the feet of a goddess.
She wore an
extremely large, faded, hooded sweatshirt and tight jeans. Aric lifted himself
to a standing position on shaky knees. He stood several inches over her at his
full height. His wolf howled within him while he fought the wolf’s urge to grab
the woman. It did nothing to ease the pounding pain in his head from her attack.
“You’re
magnificent,” he murmured.
The unknown female
took another step away from him.
“Uh, thanks?” she
said.
Her pale blue eyes
darted left and right, as though she searched for an escape route.
The throbbing pain
in the back of his head dulled as he studied her. He absentmindedly raised a
hand and rubbed at the place where she had struck him. The semi was now a
full-on raging erection and proudly protruded from his pelvis as if to salute
her.
Aric’s face heated
when her eyes dipped to it. Her cheeks reddened. She held a hand over her
mouth.
“Oh my God!” she
gasped.
Her expression
reflected panic. She bent her knees prepared to run. Her eyes sought the best
escape route.
“No. Don’t,” Aric
protested, surprising himself.
She paused. The
female stared at him, bewildered.
He brought both his
hands over his crotch. “Sorry.”
“Why are you
naked?” she demanded a second time.
“Uh,” Aric stalled.
For some reason, he didn’t think telling her he had just shifted from wolf to
human form would be a good idea. Humans tended to freak out when confronted
with creatures they thought were mythical. Plus, there was the whole death
thing, if the council found out about a supernatural being outing himself to
humans. They took that shit super serious. Aric liked his life. He liked it
even more, having met this female.
