Do you hear it calling you?
Do you see the black inside?
Can you get it out in time?
Or will it take over your mind? 
The darkness has chosen you. 
It cannot be denied. 
It took up roots inside your heart. 
Now wonder you're afraid of the dark. 
The mark of the beast is on your skin. 
It cannot be erased. 
You feel the anger and the strength with every step you take. 
Take a deep breath, it may be your last. 
For the Dragonfly awakes.
. 
Harrison West never existed. As far as the Union knew. His records were erased, and anyone who had known him, was dead. He was on the run from the council, and from a secret underground circle of dark, powerful people claimed by the mark of the dragonfly. If he disobeyed the mark, he would die, but if he did what it said, he would kill innocent people. Torn between light and dark, Harrison learns of a way he can save his people: By finding the chosen one, Charlotte Griffin. 

Charlotte Griffin was just another member of the Union, or so everyone thought. Strange things started happening in her society, one of the boys in her academy, Isaac, went missing. And the members of the council were covering it up. Charlie wanted to know why. Digging into this mystery could land her dead, but Charlie was to curious for her own good. She had to know where Isaac had gone, and who this new mysterious boy that had shown up after he went missing was. Little did she know she was about to get caught in between a more dangerous war than the one that destroyed half the earth. And it was all up to her to save everything.

"You had no right to do that," I snap, trying my best to out walk him. His chuckle was loud behind me and his hand griped on my forearm, stopping me. Something about his warmth gave me chills all over my body. Something I don't think I ever wanted in the first place. Especially from him and especially now. "Yes I did, and I still do." His hard grip around my arm loosened, and snaked up to lock his fingers through my hair. Oh Momma, what is happening? Being this close to him has been happening way too often for normal. Still, I couldn't break away from this close contact, I was frozen, shocked. "What makes you think that?" My question hit him with humor, and instead of fully responding, he leans his face closer to mine. The smirk on his face stayed once he noticed the affect he had on me. "Because," he whispers out pressing our bodies together. "I'm your Secret Santa," he licks his lips as if he's hungry, then continues, "I can give you anything I want to give you." His free arm wraps around my waist, and he lifts me up during the action before pressing our lips together. The main character is Kimberly. She's an accident prone person who wants nothing but to enjoy her winter. Her friends want the best for her after a terrible break up they witnessed. Every year they all hold the traditional Secret Santa. Somebody from the group believes that they are what Kimberly needs. This is about Kimberly and her crazy winter story about her not so Secret Santa.
