Mare Pike. She sticks to the shadows of her prestigious private school. It's easier that way. Easier to hide a part of herself that no one can know about. To keep your head low, and keep everyone at arms length. No one was an exception. 

But what about the mystery girl that keeps putting poems in her locker? What then? Will she be able to find out who this secret admirer is or will this mystery hide in the shadows like Mare has done her entire life? 

To make matters worse, one night she is deemed to be immortal starting at the age of 26. Now she must desperately try to find out who this girl is before she slips from her fingers. 

Because no matter how strong or inkillable Mare may be, love is always the driving force for almost everything. Including her heart.

"There is so much at stake that I'm afraid to lose, I'm not sure I can handle it if I fail," I say, the emotions inside of me twisting and turning, readying themselves to be used but warm hands encased mine, forcing me to hold them back. "There is a reason we all follow you. Not because you're the greatest leader, but because you know you're not. You make mistakes, you learn and you love. There is a war inside you that is beautifully controlled, but now, it's time to set it free. You are not just anybody, you are a fighter, a friend, a leader. . . tell me who you are." Suddenly, newfound confidence washed over me, my shoulders straightened, a smile spread across my lips and I answered, "I am Athena." ---------- Freed from an institute that used people like her for their own selfish gain, Athena took it upon herself to reinvent the place that once brought her so much pain and suffering. She is now the leader of this new Aeterian facility, taking in powered people like her, growing in numbers and trying to live the way they've wanted to for so many years, but as usual, nothing great lasts forever.

To gain back control, she needs to trust the wolves and make the right decision for her people. There is a war inside her that she has kept at bay for so long, in order to win she knows that war must be set free and god help those that stand in her line of fire. ********** An Aeterian Story- Second Book Book Order: 1.

I felt the bed dip as he sat down on the other side but I focused solely on my task until I was done. "This is a pillow barrier. Meaning, you don't breach this side of the pillows." I instructed, my voice firm. "What if I don't want anything between us?" Phoenix said in a husky voice, and I risked a glance. Bad choice. His eyes were dark and his gaze was on my lips, to my chest, then back to my lips. "Eyes up here, buddy." I snapped the third time his eyes went down to my chest. All he did was turn off the lights. When it was dark, he whispered," Can't I admire what is mine?" I had no answer, and turned on my side. He sighed. Despite taking two naps today, I was out cold the minute my head hit my pillow. I could only hope that in the morning, the pillow barrier was still there. ***** Adira has a secret, one she would do anything to protect.

"You know I'll find out who did that to you. And they better wish for a headstart." I snap my gaze up. His voice turned awry in my ears at the menacing promise. I stare at him, blinking.

His eyes spark with sabotage. "Good." )( )( Aiden Martinez has always been viewed to let his anger get the best of him, and his whole life to assemble a root of all ominous to come.
