Catalina, or “Cat” as her friends and enemies both lovingly
and mockingly call her, continues her quest to free the human race from their
dark Vampiric overlords. Confused by love, driven by hate, Cat finds out that
the lines of good and evil aren’t as black and white as they once were, but
deep and foreboding shades of gray. Just as she has begun to make peace with
all of the changes her life has went through, fate shakes things up again. Her
closest allies aren’t what they seem, while those who were once enemies may
uncover the salvation of human race.
This time will Cat land on her feet or fall to the will to those she
thought she could trust. Will the lies that are uncovered turn her life inside
out or will the truth be more then she can bear. As Cat is torn from her reality can she keep
from being consumed by the night waves?

I am a
mother to three beautiful children, they keep me busy. I live in a small town
that’s filled with monsters and really nice people alike. I love taking walks
around the mountain trails where I live and I love taking trips to the Ocean,
especially the South Carolina beaches. The ocean brings me tranquility and
refreshes me, but I don’t get to go there often enough. Some mornings I listen
to nothing but sad country songs for hours but when I write, I usually buckle
down with my headphones and listen to something raw and angry like Seether,
and Stone Sour. I can be shy
around people but I’m mostly always honest within myself. In many ways, on many
levels, I express different parts of myself through my characters. Someone told
me once that you are only as old as you feel
and I love that! In fact, I love that idea because personally, have no
intentions of ever growing up! I want to
be 18 forever no matter what they do to me. LOL!

The second
person was a woman. She looked to be about our age and she was definitely
human, though she was trying hard not to look it. Her hair was as black as the
night itself, but her face was pure and angelic. She looked like someone that
you instantly wanted to comfort. She was beautiful and she knew it. There was
something about her that I didn’t like, some vibe that she was giving off. Of
course, maybe it was the way she was looking at Darien. I was sure she saw him
like she saw most of the men that she encountered. He was a challenge. I knew
her look. I’d seen it before. I knew that she thrived on the thrill of the
hunt. The tension between me and her silently grew; I knew I wouldn't let her
win this trophy and she thought she was going to easily claim the handsome
prize attached to my hand. I could tell that she would go after him, not
because he was better looking than Walker and Jaden, because he wasn't, but
because out of the three men in our group, he appeared to be the one that was
already spoken for. A real predator will pick a free range animal over a caged
one any day. But this wasn’t the case with her because jealousy drove her, and
jealousy makes you realize that you may not be the center of a guy’s world like
you need to be. I took my eyes off the woman long enough to look at Darien who
was oblivious to her stare. Point one for me. I didn’t see the third person
walk in. I was too busy looking down at Darien’s hand in mine. But then Darien
piqued my attention when he squeezed my hand so hard that I was sure it was
going to break. My eyes shot right to Darien’s face and I was surprised to see
his mouth hanging wide open. Not wanting to, I slowly turned my head to follow
his gaze. What he was looking at sent my head spinning.
Standing less
than three feet in front of me stood the female version of Akia. I felt the
color drain from my face, I felt my pulse quicken, and I felt my other hand
reaching for my gun.
“Don’t even
think about it, Cat.” The voice came from Walker. “You pull that gun and I will
have it out of your hands faster than you can blink.” I absolutely hated when
he reminded me that he was still the boss, even though he looked our age, there
was no question who the alpha of the family was.
“Who the hell
is that and why the hell is she here?” My voice was drenched in disapproval.
Good, that is exactly what I was going for. But inside my heart was trying to
tear free from my chest! Why would Walker bring someone in here that looked so
much like the man that I could never be with? Darien rubbed my hand making
circles, trying to calm me down. I was so pissed and confused that I was
shaking.
“Cat, I would
like you to meet Makeen and Jessie,” Walker said, and he gestured toward the
giant man and the drop dead gorgeous bitch who had somehow managed to become my
least favorite person in the world. When I didn’t acknowledge either of them,
my eyes never leaving the face of the female Akia, he continued. “And this is
Kira. She is Akia’s twin sister.”
