For decades the Collective have lived among us, infusing their alien DNA into our own, creating children with supernatural abilities. At sixteen these children are stolen away to the brutal proving grounds known as The Academy, where the weak perish and graduates are forged into a clandestine army to be sent out into the world to infiltrate: governments, businesses, media. They lie in wait for the birth of the child who will possess the "god-gene," the child who will lead them against humanity. Sixteen-year-old Lara Ashley is that child. Constantly suppressing the destructive energy rumbling inside, she's led a life of self-imposed isolation-a life that shifts abruptly when her father ships her off to the Academy. It's here where she learns to harness her frightening powers, here where she is given an impossible choice: survive the Academy and become the weapon of humanity's enslavement, or die. Zane Grey arrives at the Academy with one goal: He must kill the "god-child" if humanity is to have any chance in defeating the Collective. The problem? He has no idea who he's hunting. While working to out his target, Zane grows close to Ashley, the surprisingly innocent girl who seems utterly out of place amongst some of the most powerful people on the planet. Learning the truth nearly breaks Zane. After feeling nothing for months, he's fallen for the very girl he must kill. Every day he hesitates is a day she grows stronger, the task more difficult. In the end he'll have to choose between love and duty, with both coming at a terrible cost.

*Short Story* It is difficult to stay with the people who look down at you like you are some kind of disease. It hurts when they don't want to acknowledge you for the good things you have done. It hurts when your family rejects you only because you are quiet and weak saying you are good for nothing. Annie Ryan was nothing but a quiet, innocent teenager waiting for her mate to save her from the dark hell she was living in. She had only one dream, she wanted to feel loved, she wanted someone to tell her that they care and would love her no matter what happens. But little did she know that she was just another unfortunate soul whose mate had different plans. Caden was an young alpha. He had everything but where everyone was eager to meet their mate, he wasn't. He had already given his position of alpha female to his girlfriend. But after she left him, he turned cold and ruthless. But when he met Annie, his mate, one thing was clear. He wanted nothing to do with her. He asked her to leave but when she declined, he paid her no attention like she never existed. Annie was broken. Her dream was just a dream. Every night she closed her eyes, she realized she was going to die alone with no one to care. She wanted to end her life but not before setting everything right, not before her destined alpha mate finds his happiness. Caden didn't know what he was missing until he lost it. Maybe that's how life works. Maybe that's why it is called cruel.
