Leana Holstin, daughter of Liam and Angel Holstin, the first-born daughter and Guardian of her parents, has been waiting to find her mate since she turned 18. Unlike most wolves, she didn't find her mate right away, so when her best friend and Guardian sister asks her to take a trip to Araphyra, she jumps at the chance. What she never expected was that her mate would be a vampire. Prince Drake Cazien is the son of Lance Cazien and the grandson of King Urien Cazien. His grandfather had intended to pass the rule of the vampire clan to Drake, skipping Lance because he subscribed to the old ways, the ones that nearly made them extinct. However, after returning from a mission that his grandfather sent him on, Drake finds that his father has killed his grandfather and taken over as King. Drake is furious at his father and hates the way he is falling back into the old ways where they use humans as blood bags. Image his surprise when he finds his mate inside his father's castle and not only is she his father's guest, but she's also the Custos Regni, or Guardian of the Realm, the werewolves that have the most delicious taste to vampires, a taste they all crave. What will Leana do when she realizes that her mate is one of her mother's mortal enemies, the ones that imprisoned her for seven years, keeping her as a blood bag? How will Drake overcome his insatiable desire to feed off of Leana's blood and show her that he wants her as a mate, not a blood bag? Will the two be able to find a way to come together, or will Leana reject Drake, causing another rift between the supernatural factions?

This was one of my favourite books! I was just a wee bit disappointed in Lily and Leana having had ONLY 2 and 3 children each, being that they’re living forever. But well, I still loved Leana’s and Drake’s story a lot!!

Chapter 2: Drake

I’ve been on a mission for my grandfather for several months. He sent me on what feels like a wild goose chase looking for a girl. He told me she was a teenager and a vampire, but he didn’t tell me anything more than that. Now, after several months of looking, I’ve come up with my last dead end. I’ve run out of leads and I have to return home to tell my grandfather that I failed him.I sleep through the day, waiting for the sun to set before I begin making my way home. Unlike most vampires, I’m a royal and therefore, I can walk in the daylight, but it’s uncomfortable. My eyes are very light sensitive, and my pale skin burns easily, so I prefer to move at night.As I get closer to home, to my grandfather’s clan and his lands, I get a bad feeling. The last couple of times that I called my grandfather, he didn’t answer. And for once, he didn't call me back. It’s now been a few weeks and I haven’t heard from him. It’s another reason I’ve decided to come home. I need to make sure that he’s

Chapter 3: Leana

Our trip to the council has been weird. First, we were made to wait for nearly an hour, then Alpha Wyatt, the only councilmember in attendance basically dismissed our concern that vampires and werewolves were working together. If anything, he looked excited about the thought that someone was going against the Guardians.I put in my notice to take over for my mother, knowing it will take a couple of months for the paperwork to process. This gives me time to get to Araphyra with Lily, make sure all is well before returning back here and taking my mother’s place on the council.I call Rich that night and fill him in on the weird interaction with Alpha Wyatt.“Do you need any help?” he asks me.“No. Lily and I are leaving tomorrow, but we have to pass through King Urien’s lands.”“King Urien has always been a friend to the Guardians, and he used to sit on the council. Now it’s his son until he grandson takes over,” he says.“Yes, Councilman Lance is his name. I believe the son’s name is D

Chapter 4: Drake

I’m digging through what’s left of my grandfather’s papers. Giovanni and possibly my father seem to have gone through everything. I swipe the papers onto the floor just as Giovanni comes to the door.“Prince Drake, your father has requested your presence for dinner.”“I bet he did,” I respond without looking at him.With hands on hips, I look around the room. My grandfather was smart enough not to leave something like this out where my father or Giovanni would find it. So where would he have put it.“I’m happy to escort you to dinner,” Giovanni says.“You can tell my father that I won’t be joining him for dinner tonight or any night,” i say. When he once again doesn’t move, I turn to him. I make shooing gestures with my hands and have the pleasure of watching his eyes narrow.“Now run along, like the good little errand boy that you are, and tell him that I won’t be coming.”Giovanni snarls, but turns and races off to tell my father of my insolence, no doubt.I begin going around the r

Chapter 5: Leana

The moment Drake walked into that hideous feeding room, I knew I’d found my mate. Of all the places, in all the world, I found him here. When our eyes locked, I realized that my mate is the worst possible option of a mate for me, a vampire. The Moon Goddess must have a sick sense of humor.However, as the night went on, I realized that Drake is more like his grandfather, not his father. And while I’m not thrilled that my mate is a vampire, Lily encouraged me not to make the same mistakes that she’s made with hers.“Give him a chance, Lea. Don’t judge him too quickly,” she had said as we got ready for bed. I had pulled his sweatshirt over my head and nearly moaned out loud at his scent. I never gave much thought to the scent of ice, but it is interesting to me that Lily is mated to a Prince that smells like snow and now I find that I’m mated to a Prince that smells like ice. Maybe it's some kind of royalty thing.I’m sure Lily has noticed all of my not-so-casual glances at Drake tonigh

Chapter 6: Drake

The moment Leana’s warm lips touch my cold ones, and her wild yet floral scent floods my nose, my fangs come out, slicing through her lower lip. I’m up and across the room before I make the mistake of tasting her blood that is now resting in warm droplets on my lips. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that,” she says. But I’m facing away from her, afraid that if she sees my blood lust for her, that it will all be over, and I’ll never get to prove to her that I can be the kind of mate she deserves. “I just…I wasn’t prepared and…” I glance over my shoulder, seeing her pressing her finger over her lip. “Are you alright?” “Yes. I heal quickly.” I nod, turning away. Unable to resist any longer, I lick her blood off my lips and the ecstasy that flows through my body is overwhelming. It takes everything in me not to fly to her and sink my teeth into her neck, sucking more of the most delicious blood I’ve ever tasted in my life. I lift my head, trying to get control of my emotions and my

Chapter 7: Drake

We begin running again. Kella runs beside me and we begin to make a game of who can more easily navigate the land in the forest. I’m impressed over and over again at her grace and strength as she leaps as easily over fallen trees as I do. Even when I playfully push her to try to get ahead of her, she’s right back, catching me quickly and nipping at my heels. Our afternoon run is the most fun I ever remember having in my life. It’s sundown when we stop for the night. I can see Lily wants to push on, but they both need to eat and get some sleep. I, myself, haven’t slept in over 48 hours and I desperately need some rest. We find a place, up on a hill, where we can keep watch overnight. Kella and Hera catch a couple of rabbits to eat and even from here, the scent of the blood makes my mouth water. I don’t even like the taste of rabbit blood, but I’ve waited too long to feed. If I wasn’t so exhausted, I’d go find a large animal that I could drink from, but right now, I’m not sure I could

Chapter 8: Leana

I begin coming in and out of consciousness, not sure why I feel so weak. I reach out to Kella and feel that she’s just as weak as I am. ‘Kella, what happened?’ I ask. ‘Mate,” is all she says before I’m out again. When I finally open my eyes, I can’t tell what time of day it is, as the sun is filtering through the trees above. Lily is sitting next to me. “Lils?” “Leana! Oh goddess! How are you feeling?” “Weak, what happened?” I ask, still feeling like I have a fog in my brain. She looks past me and I turn my head, seeing Drake sitting far away. “Leana,” I hear him say, his voice sounding like a sob. He gets up and leaves, making me worried that I’ll never see him again. “What were you thinking, Lea?” “About what, exactly?” I ask, still feeling fuzzy. “You let him feed on you,” she hisses at me and everything comes flooding back. The moment Drake tasted my blood, I felt the power in him begin to push against me and Kella. It hadn’t taken long before I realized we were in troub

Chapter 9: Leana

We push hard all day the next day, only stopping for food, and it isn’t until well into the night that we stop to rest. I’m tired again, but since Drake and Lily let me sleep last night, I agree to take the first shift. Drake lays next to where I’m sitting by the fire. He lays beside me, holding my hand and putting it up against his face, so he can smell my scent. I’m looking down, watching him sleep when I hear a twig snap. I jerk my head up, lifting my nose into the air. I can’t smell anything, but the wind is at my back. I disengage my hand from Drake’s and stand. Besides my mother’s Guardian gift of being able to tell when someone is lying, my strongest Guardian gift is being able to sense auras. I push out and suddenly, I can see the auras of a pack of wolves that have surrounded us and are closing in. I howl a warning as I leap and shift, jumping at the first wolf that breaks through the trees around us. Another comes up behind him and then several others come running out fro

Chapter 10: Drake

We run all day, trying to make up time. Leana told me that Lily was given a deadline by her mate and she’s trying to make it, but when we finally stop for the night, I realize that she’s going to be late. I don’t know anything about Lily’s relationship with her mate, but if it were me, I’d wait for Leana. I’d wait as long as it took and if Leana decides to reject me, I’ll wait for an eternity, or at least until her life comes to an end, for her to change her mind. When we stop, Leana’s phone begins to ring. I see her look at the caller ID and sigh. “Hey Dad,” she answers. Since she doesn’t move away, I take that as acceptance that I’m going to hear the conversation. “Do you want to explain to me why I heard from your brother nearly a week ago that you and Lily were headed to Araphyra? And why he told me that you’d call and check in with me, but you haven’t? And why I had to hear from Rik that you and Lily had problems with the vampires? Where are you? And why did it take so long for
