I've been on the run all my life, chased by faceless people who want me for my powers. Claimed from birth, I have been marked for sacrifice….. *** Amaryllis lost her parents when she was 6. They had been killed right before her eyes by a mask-wearing cult all dressed in red. Saved by her mother's friend, Aden, they remained on the run, moving from Pack to Pack because no matter what, the bad people in red always showed up. Settling down in the Redmond Pack, Aden found his mate, a woman with a daughter the same age as Amaryllis. Not long after, Aden dies and Amaryllis is turned into a slave by the woman and her daughter, Ymir. When Ymir's letter of admission on scholarship into the prestigious Solstice University based on Amaryllis’ merit arrives, she finally gets a chance to take revenge on the girl. Amaryllis runs away to the Blue Solstice Pack and begins attending the university as Ymir, basically stealing her identity. Trouble comes when on her first day, Amaryllis unintentionally gets on the bad side of the twin kings of Solstice University, Luka and Mika Solstice, who both turn out to be her mates. With two possessive and rambunctious mates, her painful visions and the cult still after her, can she navigate the intricacies of school life and survive the cruel fate? Who are the masked cultists and what do they want from her? And just who is the shadow lurking beneath the surface? This is the second installment in the Blue Solstice Pack series. If you haven't read Book 1: Cruel Fate: Chained To The Alpha, please do in order to understand some of the characters in this book and their motives. This book can be read as a standalone.
View MoreAmaryllis Mika’s hand slides higher, his fingers grazing my stomach with rough, possessive intent. His green eyes burn into mine, filled with something dark and dangerous, the kind of malevolence that can make your skin crawl. I’m pinned to the cold wall, my heart hammering in my chest, and my breath trapped in my throat. Every inch of me screams to fight, to push him away, but it’s like my body is frozen under his weight—his presence suffocating, his touch a taunt.“You like this, don’t you?” he whispers, his voice a low, twisted purr. His lips hover close to my ear, and the heat from his breath sends an unwelcome shiver down my spine. “I can feel you trembling. Maybe you want me to touch you a little more.”I grit my teeth, my body twisting against his, but Mika’s hand tightens around my waist, forcing me to stay still. His grip is firm, possessive, like I belong to him, and the sick satisfaction in his eyes only deepens my disgust.“Stop,” I choke out, my voice trembling with ange
Amaryllis I’m standing in a room drenched in shadows, but it’s not the kind of darkness you can escape. The air smells rotten, thick with decay. The walls around me are wet, slick with something that oozes slowly, dripping to the floor in a steady, rhythmic beat. The ground squelches beneath my feet with every step, as if I’m walking through flesh, not earth. My breath catches in my throat, and every part of me knows—something is wrong. Deeply, viscerally wrong.Suddenly, I hear a wet, ripping sound behind me. My heart lurches. I turn around slowly, every instinct telling me not to, but I can’t stop myself. When I do, I’m met with the most horrific sight I’ve ever seen.In the center of the room is a table—an operating table, rusted and smeared with blood that’s far too fresh. A body is strapped down, but it’s hard to tell where the flesh ends and the metal begins. Limbs are twisted, broken at grotesque angles. The skin is flayed open, revealing muscle and organs that still pulse, st
Amaryllis My feet are moving quickly down the hallway, the scene I just witnessed playing over and over in my mind. I need to get away. Every instinct screams for me to run, to forget what I saw, but my mind keeps fixating on his eyes. That smile. How he looked straight into my soul and didn’t flinch.I turn a corner, moving faster, my heartbeat pounding in my ears. I need to calm down, I need to—Before I can finish that thought, I crash straight into a solid chest. My vision blurs for a second as I stagger back, the force of the impact nearly knocking me off my feet. Strong hands catch me, steadying me before I fall.“Whoa, easy there,” a voice says, smooth and deep. “You alright?”I blink rapidly, trying to shake off the sudden dizziness, but the moment I look up at him, a sharp pain slices through my head like a knife. My vision goes white, then dark, and the world around me seems to spin away.It’s night, pitch-black, the air thick and suffocating. I’m running through a forest,
Amaryllis "Stay calm, Amaryllis."Di'ja's voice is a low growl in the back of my mind, her presence a steadying force against the storm brewing inside me. I take a deep breath, trying to hold back the rage surging through me. Every instinct tells me to turn back, track down Rita, and demand my necklace, but I know I can't rush into this without a plan."Don't make a scene on your first day," Di'ja warns again, and I reluctantly agree. The last thing I need is to blow my cover over this, even though the necklace is everything to me.“Fine,” I mutter under my breath, my hand tightening around the key. “I’ll drop my stuff first.”I slide the key into the lock and turn it. The door creaks open slightly, and before I can even step inside, I hear a soft voice from the other side.“Hello?”The door opens fully, and I come face-to-face with a petite girl with long, curly black hair. Her wide, green eyes blink at me from behind dark glasses. She’s wearing a baggy sweater, the sleeves falling
