The day of the end was the start of the beginning for Violetta Simmons. She just didn't know it yet. The War of Blood changed the world forever, changed human destiny so that at the age of 16 every individual must be sold in an auction as a slave to satisfy the vampires. Violet knew that her day had arrived, but she least expected being chosen by the arrogant prince, Aiden. As Violet learns to cope with the whirlwind of events that unfold in Aiden's presence, she discovers that there is more to him than meets the eye, whilst untold secrets threaten to tear away her perceptions of her own past. Thrust into a world involving a conflict between her fellow humans and the dominating vampires, Violet must choose whether she stays true to her race, or fights against them. -*-*-*- Highest Ranking - #7 in Vampire Book cover designed and created by - @heartsandcrosses_

The Fly Boys are an elite group of males chosen each year from the top military school's senior class. They tend to be the best looking and most athletic boys in school, but that is not why they are chosen. They are chosen because they achieved the highest scores in the Arcane Simulator. Once chosen, the eight Fly Boys are allowed one week to choose a female partner to accompany them to Special Ops, where they will continue their Arcane training. Luckily for River, she doesn't have to worry about the overly sexist selection process. She is new to Braxton Hall, so nobody knows her. She is also younger than the rest of the seniors, having skipped two grades, an achievement almost unheard of at the elite military academy. In a time when the deadly X Virus has wiped out more than half the world's population, three quarters of which were females, the Fly Boys will be trained to protect the Northern Region and it's new number one commodity - the precious few remaining females.

After an Alpha has given up looking for their mate, and they need a Luna to help run the pack, they will organise an event known as The Whipping. Female volunteers from packs around the country will put themselves forward if they wish to be in the chance of becoming a Luna. These she-wolves would be whipped in front of all the packs, again and again until their backs were red raw and blood covered. The last female remaining would be given the title of Luna as the Alpha would only want the strongest wolf to help run his pack. Most wolves gave up and quit as they couldn't take the pain, but some head-strong females would go until they were no longer breathing. It was an ugly tradition, from years ago. I had never heard of one happening in this day and age...until that day... Until I met him... On the day of The Whipping...
