Beyond the Darkness — Jaime Rush

THEY LIVE ORDINARY LIVES, BUT THEY ARE EXTRAORDINARY. THEY ARE THE OFFSPRING, CHILDREN OF A MYSTERIOUS EXPERIMENT GONE AWRY -- AND THEY ARE IN TERRIBLE DANGER.

Cheveyo: a name that stirs Petra like no other, reviving deep feelings of pleasure . . . and pain. Despite her rare psychic gifts, the beautiful half-human Offspring doesn't know why the magnificent shapeshifter walked out of her life when the bond they shared was powerful . . . and intensely passionate.

But Cheveyo is not gone. From the shadows, he watches over his beloved, determined that the malevolent enemies he hunts with fang and claw will not invade her world. But now, suddenly, the stakes are getting higher -- as an insidious evil plots the destruction of Petra's race. Cheveyo can remain hidden no longer from the lover who completes him but could destroy him . . . if his own inner darkness doesn't destroy her first.
