The year is 2559 BC, in Egypt. There is a strict social hierarchy present on Egypt. It is a three step pyramid, the nisu being at the top, then come the commoners, and lastly come the hems. The nisu were the leaders of Egypt, while the hems were the servers. They lived to serve their nisu, and often lived short lives. Leaders gained their power from the gods; in specific, the markings the gods gave them. The markings are intricate drawings on one skin, that are only given to the next nisu. The markings were only ever given to royals for thousands and thousands of years. However, there was a day that the mark had dissipated from a royal's skin. That year was 2559 BC, the year that hems bore the mark of the gods.

NOT EDITED VERSION. Delilah got a huge responsibility on her shoulders at the age of 17 when her parents died. The responsibility: her seven year old sister, Alice. They don't know exactly how their parents died. All they knew was that their car exploded, but their bodies were never found, even after the fire was put out. Delilah thought that her life was simple -well as simple as it gets with a seven year old in your life- but what she didn't know was that people were looking for her. For both her and her sister. The mark that they bore behind their neck symbolized something bigger than what they thought was a simple birth mark. It symbolized mate. But more importantly, it meant that they could bare a child with no fertility problems. On the vampire world, fertility is a big problem. It's been thousands of years since a female has birthed a child that has been capable of passing down the vampire gene without being bitten or cursed (the worst and most painful possible way ever) or both mother and infant dying. So finding a female with the mark is like finding your own personal treasure. When Delilah meets her hot new neighbor and finds out he's a werewolf -not just any werewolf but the most powerful Alpha King- will they be mates? Or will she be mates to one of the many vampires and help solve the thousand year old problem? Cover made by @bubblygummii Mark is supposed to be behind neck, so please don't judge the cover. I love it ❤️
