Reylin has survived what most could not.
Fierce, free-spirited, and unbreakably strong-willed, she's one of the last humans still alive and free. She was only thirteen when the Lycans-monsters cloaked in flesh and fangs-descended from the shadows and took everything. Her parents. Her home. Her safety.
Now, ten years later, Reylin is a warrior in one of the last hidden human settlements, with only her younger brother left to protect. She refuses to bow. Refuses to break. And she'd rather die than become a slave to the beasts who ruined her world.
But survival gets harder by the day.
The Lycans are not just strong. They're fast, brutal, and natural-born predators. Since the Great War, they've established a merciless new order-one where humans are hunted, enslaved, or wiped out entirely.
And Reylin's time is running out.
When her village is raided by Lycan soldiers, she risks everything to protect her brother only to be captured by the infamous Alpha of the North.
Alpha Orion.
Crowned in blood and forged in war, Orion is one of the ruthless Alpha who led the Lycans to victory. A cold and calculated killer, he sees humans as weak, defiant creatures undeserving of breath. He doesn't hesitate to crush rebellions, burn settlements, and extinguish hope.
Until her.
The defiant human girl who won't bow, who tried to kill him.
The one his beast calls mate.
Orion is disgusted by the bond, repulsed by the idea of being tied to a human, but his instincts scream to claim her, protect her, destroy anything that touches her. And when secrets from the war begin to surface, loyalty is tested, and bloodlines come into question, one thing becomes terrifyingly clear:
He may hate her kind.
But he will burn the world before letting her go.

Sins and Secrets Book 1:
"How do you think all your little Alpha buddies will feel," he hissed, his hot, rancid breath whispering across the back of my neck causing my stomach to sink, "When they discover the dark secret you've been hiding? Do you think they'll respect you still? Do you think that little mate of yours will still want you?" At the thought of Tiberius, my wolf went crazy. My body jerked at the restrained that held me down, the smell of burning flesh filling the room as the silver began to cut into my wrists.
"Go to hell." We snapped as my whole body began to go numb.
"Oh can't you see, my sweet little bird," he came closer, his lips practically pressed against the skin on my cheek, "You're already there."

My name is Cara Eldoran. I am one of two Alpha's within my pack. Two years ago, I stood frozen to the ground and watched as someone I loved killed my older brother in front of me. There were no screams or tears. My whole body had gone into shock, and I was left to watch the horrors unfold in front of me. But I will lose no one else.
Alpha's are going missing. They are being taken from their homes in the middle of the night and are never seen again. Sometimes I wish that being taken was my biggest problem. That all I had to worry about was making sure my windows were locked at night and that I was safe in the arms of my mate, but there is much more at stake then most realize.
I vowed revenge for my brother the day he died, and I will stop at nothing to get it.
Not even the dark secrets that could destroy me will stop my lust for vengeance.
