"Stop?" Mikhail laughed. "Why in the world would I stop? Don't you see? We are the supreme race. The new apex predators. I've achieved something long thought impossible. I've created a new race—a race that answers to me!" He twisted his hand, one sharp jerk, and the hybrid army stomped their feet and saluted as one. The echo of hundreds

  • Luna Rising   Breach

    Gavin POVThe lab rose out of the surrounding forest like a giant steel and chrome beast. I’m not sure what I was expecting, but it wasn’t something so…obvious. The structure in front of us looked like it didn’t belong, like it had been dropped down into the middle of the trees and hills from another world. After spending some time among the humans, I’d gotten used to their need to build large, imposing structures. The city was full of highrises with mirrored windows and people layered on top of each other. It was one of the many ways humans and shifters were fundamentally different. We preferred to be close to nature—not to wipe it out. “How has no one ever noticed this before?” Ross breathed, echoing my thoughts. Dimitri, who had been silent most of the drive, answered. “Because no one was looking.”He was right. The area was remote enough that you wouldn’t just pass by it. Anyone who came here was coming here for a purpose. And today, that purpose was rescue. The vehicles pul

  • Luna Rising   The Weight of Command

    Gavin POVI wasn't going to see Elara again before we launched the rescue.We decided moving quickly was critical, even though we had limited information. Waiting another night for the chance to reach her in the dream realm might have answered more questions, but it also risked costing lives.Once we realized the teams needed to be small, tactical groups, the operation came together quickly. We relied on our close personal guard in addition to ranked members. None of us wanted to risk leaking the plans and tipping off the hunters. After Declan had pointed out how well placed they were, no one could argue the conclusion that someone had given them the knowledge. We needed to find out if we had an active leak or if it was gained through years of kidnappings, but that had to wait until we shut this location down. As a result, my parents, uncle, and grandparents were coming with us. Part of me hated that they insisted on it. I wanted them safely behind the palace walls. The other part kn

  • Luna Rising   Against the Clock

    Elara POVThe diffuser buzzed again. I covered my face and waited it out. After it stopped and the particles settled, I pulled my shirt away from my nose and went back to pacing. I'd been in my cell for at least twelve hours, if what the guards said about the timer on the mister was true. There had been no sign of the doctors in the hours that had passed since I woke up.Covering my face kept the mist from wrecking me completely, but still left my limbs feeling heavy. My mind was clear, though, and that was my best weapon right now. Being able to think was critical to escaping. My senses had returned after I'd blocked the poison in the air for the third time, and I didn't have to strain so hard to hear the guards now. They'd done their rounds, but chatter had been minimal. From what I could tell, everyone was worried about what had happened the last time I was in the lab. I wasn't entirely sure myself, if I was being honest. But maybe their fear could be used against them. They hadn

  • Luna Rising   Closer Than We Thought

    Gavin POVElaine arranged the candles in a circle around the map and anchored the four points with chunks of tourmaline. When she had the table set, she stepped back and gestured me forward, withdrawing a small knife as she did so. “I’ll make a small incision, just enough for a few drops. I need you to let them fall on the map,” she said. Her hand was warm, her grip firm but still gentle as she drew her knife across the flesh just below my thumb. The blade broke through my skin with a quick sting. I squeezed, letting the red blood fall onto the map as she’d directed. “That’s enough,” she said. Atka closed the wound quickly, leaving no trace of it behind. Elaine stepped forward, chanting over the makeshift altar. The flames spiked high as she said, “Hecate, Selene, I call unto thee. Help us trace this destiny. Show us where his essence resides, where a part of his soul now survives. Lead us to what we seek. As I will, so mote it be.”Air moved through the room, ruffling my hair as t

  • Luna Rising   The First Step

    Gavin POVI'd woken significantly later than usual. After realizing that Elaine's experiment had worked, I rushed through a shower and tossed some clothes on, then ran to the meeting hall. I was just coming up outside the doors when I heard my uncle arguing with my parents. "I can't just stand back! This is my kingdom! My responsibility! My failure!" There was a thump punctuating each statement, like he was hitting his fist against the table. "This wasn't your failure, Gideon," my mother's voice carried through the door, soft and soothing. "There's nothing you could have done to prevent this."Uncle Gideon scoffed. "I could have noticed my people going missing sooner. Could have kept better tabs on the ones who scattered after the war. Then we'd have an idea of where to look, at least!""This is not on you, brother. No more than Mikhail's actions were on our father twenty years ago." A chair scraped and someone was moving around. "You don't blame Dad for the war that produced the Lu

  • Luna Rising   Solitary Confinement

    Elara POVThe first thing I noticed as I came out of the dream was the smell. It was…wrong. The second thing was the necklace in my fist. I lifted my hand, the chain dangling against my forearm as I brought the tooth closer to examine it. It looked real. It certainly felt solid in my hand. The chain was cold against my skin, swinging freely as I turned the tooth over and examined the wire wrapping that formed the top, creating a bail for the chain to slide through. And when I gripped the tooth tightly against my palm, the edges bit in with just a hint of pain.I’d brought something of Gavin’s from my dream into reality. My heart thumped hard at the thought. How was that possible? While I’d known I was traveling outside of myself, that the dreams were more than dreams, I had never imagined I could carry something through the planes. A tiny hiss brought my focus back to the room, and I looked around to see where it came from. There, up in the vents, a puff of mist was already dissip
