First Place in the SweetandSpicy Awards 2020///////////// They say the heart is the source of love; a representation of love itself, where love is a beautiful thing. One would agree!

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.

A deep growl rumbled from his throat and I tried to make myself smaller in hopes that he would leave me alone. Being a human, I stood no chance against this beast in front of me. He would tear me apart. His muscles rippled with ease from underneath his shirt; his stance towered over me; his eyes colored with darkness; and I knew he was struggling to keep his wolf contained. "Kitten, don't act all scared. This is what you wanted, isn't it? You've always fantasized about what it would be like to be with a beast like me." His hand approached me slowly and then brushed my hip. I gasped. His teeth grazed my neck and I unconsciously leaned my head away, so he could have more room. "Answer me!" he growled. My chest furiously moved up and down as I tried to calm myself. I shook my head. "Well, Kitten, you're MINE. Whether you like it or not." From a very young age, Mae has been told by her father to stay away from werewolves. They were too rough, too dangerous for humans, but she always had a fascination with them.

The kingdom Dulcia has fallen. Dark creatures have invaded the palace, inslaving all those who work there. The royal family--the only ones able to stop the creatures--have vanished into oblivion. No one has seen or heard from them since the fall. There are rumors. Rumors that they escaped the castle, rumors that they are assembling an army to fight the creatures known as Muraes. Only one thing is for certain. No one knows where they went, nor do they know if they will come back. ________________________________________ Every year, Clair's family goes to the king of Arium's palace for of the most lavish Christmas party imaginable.
