Pass my classes—check. Complete the Ascension and get a badass power—double check. Defeat one of the dark majors—wait, what, how did that get on my list?

Sometimes a girl just needs to get away from it all and sip some margaritas on the beach with her besties. Well, that was my plan until the very guys I'm trying to get away from somehow find me.

Apparently, I'm their mate... something I'm slowly getting used to. Because, despite my need to put distance between me and the four gods—Adrian, Kyros, Mateo, and Maximus—I haven't been able to stop thinking about them.

I have to make it up to the guys and prove that I'm in this for the long haul, and I'm not running away again… Despite how terrifying the idea of forever is—especially to a girl who just found out she's not only immortal, but is actually a full-fledged god.

The secrets are far from over, it seems. As soon as I'm brought back to the academy, I come face to face with the last person I would've expected to see here.

To top it all off, I'm being forced by the council to compete in the trials, where three rounds will determine if I'm able to keep my newfound powers or not. So now I need to train while fighting for the guys I'm growing to care for and keeping my guard up in case Titus attempts another attack…

Can't a girl catch a break around here?
