In the year 2110, technology has advanced drastically. Of course, there are both pros, and the cons to that. One of the many pros though, is something that can help spare the risk and feeling of heartbreak "forever." When every new child is born, they are given a necklace with a charm of half a shape, or half of some kind of object. Arielle Carter was born, and given a necklace with a charm of half a heart. As she grows up, she will move on through many journeys, one of them being finding her soulmate. The necklace she was given at birth is crucial to this journey, since the closer you get to your soulmate, the warmer the charm gets. This all seems like a perfect plan to Arielle, what could be easier than having technology tell you when you find your perfect match? Her idea of perfect is crushed when she finds out the twist. If the owner of the necklace does not find their soulmate by the time they reach the age of 19, their necklace gets taken away from them, and they will have to agree to an arranged marriage, with someone they don't even know. Another twist? You CAN'T get a divorce, or split up. Once married, you're together forever. Even if you hate your partner with a burning passion. It's like signing a contract that lasts a lifetime, there's no way out of it unless you take extreme measures. Will Arielle find her match in time, or will she have to have her life planned out for her?
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?
