They are the ones that help keep humans blind to the fact that they-humans-aren't at the top of the food chain, and they never were. Without them-the special corporations that handle and keep all evidence of the others hidden from the humans-the world would have been a different place to live in. One where humans have to keep their guard up at all times, as they are seen as nothing more than prey by most of the others.
Elizabeth Blackwood has been with one of the most renown corporations for most of her life, and she has seen more than enough hurt, blood and death to last her three lifetimes. But nothing could have prepared her for just what she stumbled in to. As friends reveal themselves as enemies, and old enemies become friends, Eliza must struggle to find out just who is behind the illegal trade before her time runs out. Who can she trust? What lengths will she go to put an end to this trade? And how many will she lose as she gets closer to the truth?

The Secret From Within
Xavier Blackwood rules the criminal underworld with an iron fist and a heart encased in ice. Feared by rivals, adored by none, and trusted by fewer, he is a man of power, precision, and brutality. The name Blackwood echoes through the underground like a whispered curse-lethal, cold, and untouchable. No one crosses him and lives to tell the tale. Isabella Santino is a ghost in the world of shadows-an assassin whose elegance and silence are as deadly as her blade. With no past, no ties, and no mercy, she's the weapon the highest bidders beg to command but never truly own. Her loyalty belongs to no one, and her secrets are buried deeper than any grave she's ever filled. When Xavier and Isabella's paths collide in the smoke-filled corridors of betrayal, vengeance, and bloodlust, sparks don't just fly-they ignite a war. What begins as a collision of titans becomes a dangerous dance of dominance, secrets, and obsession. But underneath their hardened exteriors, something stirs. Something forbidden. Something human. In a world where love is weakness and trust is a death sentence, "The Secret From Within" dares to ask: what happens when two monsters fall for the very thing they were taught to destroy? Only one truth remains: every secret has its price. And some... are paid in blood.Complete

It is going to be set around the time of the eclipse movie but I'm going to be doing my own thing with the plot. ☺️ I might change my mind but I'm not sure 🤷♀️😅)

She believes slavery is wrong and has been able to live seventeen years without owning a slave. However, it is now being forced upon her by her mother as she reaches the age of eighteen.

His curse attracts even greater threats that rest beneath the city, in a dark, hidden place, that might destroy them all. When he was still human, he thought monsters were myths... legends. But now he has to study those old legends to try and figure out what exactly is hiding behind his eyes.
