Only I get to do that. You don’t get to leave me, you don’t get to run! You only leave when I want you to.” "I didn’t ask for this,” I whispered, trembling. “I didn’t ask to be your mate.” Cain stepped back, “Neither did I,” he muttered under his breath. “But the bond doesn’t give us a choice, does it?” ~~~~ As the only child of her late Alpha father, Avery Jae was meant to inherit her family’s legacy.

Excerpt: Ethan's eyes gleamed with amusement as he whispered in Ava's ear, "You know, wife, you're adorable when you're trying to be stern." He was leaning against the wall, his arms crossed, his gaze fixed on her with an intensity that made her heart race. Ava's eyes flashed with irritation, her cheeks flushing. "Ethan, stop teasing me. We need to focus on our plan." She tried to sound firm, but her voice trembled slightly, betraying her frustration. Ethan's grin only grew wider. "Oh, come on, Ava. You know I'm just trying to lighten the mood. You're so serious all the time." He pushed off the wall, his movements fluid and graceful, and took a step closer to her. Ava's hands clenched into fists, her voice firm. "This isn't a game, Ethan. Our lives are at stake. We can't afford to make mistakes." She tried to sound convincing, but her eyes kept drifting to his, and she couldn't help but notice the way his eyes crinkled at the corners when he smiled. Ethan's expression turned innocent, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Who says I'm not taking it seriously? Maybe I'm just trying to distract you from the tension between us." He raised an eyebrow, his gaze fixed on hers, and Ava felt her heart skip a beat. "There's no tension, Ethan. We're just allies in this marriage pact," she lied, trying to sound convincing. But her voice was barely above a whisper, and Ethan's knowing gaze made her feel like he could see right through her. Ethan's chuckle was low and husky. "Keep telling yourself that, Ava. But I see the way you look at me sometimes... like you're trying to resist a temptation." He took another step closer, his eyes locked onto hers, and Ava felt her pulse race. "I don't know what you're talking about," she lied again, trying to sound convincing. But her eyes darted away, betraying her. Ethan's whisper was soft, his breath caressing her ear. "Oh, but I think you do, Ava. And soon, you'll have to admit it." His words sent shivers down her spine, and Ava knew she was in danger of falling for her husband's charms, even though she refused to admit it. The air was charged with tension, their banter a delicate dance of denial and attraction. And in that moment, Ava knew she was walking a thin line between resistance and surrender.

In *Blood and Arcane*, the world of New Altera thrives on two primal forces: **Blood** and **Arcane**. Blood symbolizes the essence of life, tied to the powerful Monari and their descendants, the Monari-Kai. Through the infusion of Monari blood, humans can enhance their strength and abilities, creating **Blood Hunters**—warriors who possess the raw, primal power of Monari beasts. These Blood Hunters are humanity's protectors, defending them from the dangerous creatures that roam the land. However, the process is fraught with danger, as only a rare few possess the compatibility to withstand Monari blood without losing control to its savage instincts. **Arcane**, on the other hand, embodies the mystical gifts granted by the goddesses, such as elemental control, telekinesis, healing, and gravity manipulation. Those blessed with Arcane powers are marked by the Goddess Althara and must learn to wield their gifts with discipline and precision. Together, Blood and Arcane form the backbone of New Altera, where warriors, known as Blood Hunters, and gifted individuals face the challenges of a world teeming with legendary beasts, deadly magic, and ever-present danger. In this land, survival hinges on mastering the balance between raw physical might and the arcane forces that shape reality.
