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_

In a world where a deadly virus has rewritten the rules, survival comes with a price. Seventeen-year-old River Reynolds has spent her life moving from one military school to another, but nothing prepares her for Braxton Hall Academy-the elite training ground for the next generation of pilots. The best of them become Fly Boys. They are chosen, trained and then sent to Special Ops. And never alone. River didn't come to Braxton Hall to be chosen. She came for answers. Her father-the brilliant engineer behind the Arcane Fighter, disappeared without a trace, and the aircraft he designed was never supposed to fail. But the deeper River goes into the academy, the more she realizes nothing is as it seems. Especially Dayden Johnston. At the top of the rankings, he is untouchable and dangerous. And suddenly... focused on her. As the Fly Boy selection approaches, River is pulled into a system she doesn't trust, a connection she can't ignore, and a truth that could change everything she thought she knew about her father... and herself. Because in this world, being chosen might be the most dangerous thing of all.

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...
