When Bella Swan wakes alone with a thirst for blood, she doesn't know what she has become. In an attempt to start a new life for herself, she moves to Forks, Washington to live with her father. There she meets the Cullen family, who embrace her as one of their own and teach her how to live as a vampire in peace with humans. But navigating high-school and the supernatural world simultaneously proves more difficult than Bella had thought it would and she soon has to make some tough decisions about the way she intends to live out the rest of eternity.

She was alone. Again. Bella woke up morning on her honeymoon to a farewell note from Edward. Being distraught for several days, Bella failed to notice the changes going on within her body. When she finally realizes she is pregnant, she returns home to figure out what is going to happen. Her only hope with her vampire hybrid child is the people she most fears: the Volturi. She begs them for help with her child, in return for her being changed into a vampire and serving in their guard. A hundred years later, Bella is no longer the same shy girl. She's now the Volturi's best hunter. Because of her family's status within the guard, she is sent back to her home town to figure out why so many humans are dying. She's fine with that until she realizes something major important. What if the Cullens are there?

After losing everything, Caden stumbles into the territory of a lion pride. But not any lion pride, it's Ajax' pride. Ajax is a typical alpha male: cocky, overly confident and when he wants something he does everything to get it. And as soon as he sets his eyes on Caden, he knows that he has to have him. But Caden isn't fond of being owned and doesn't hesitate to use his claws. After all, he's a cougar and cougars tend to keep to themselves. Don't they?
