LOGINMy chest was heaving; I looked around them all a little manically.Samuel put a gentle hand on my arm. I looked over at him and he sat up straighter.“Vee saved my life tonight. She put herself between me and that Werecat. What happened tonight wasn’t her fault, she did everything she could, and we
(Vee’s POV)I woke up to the sound of a helicopter.My head was pounding; my ears were ringing. I tried to sit up, panicking as I remember the Werecat and its vicious yellow eyes.“Woah,” a deep voice said, “You’re safe, just relax – don’t move.”I tried to focus my eyes, but everything was blurry,
April and I started carving a quicker path across the clearing to Samuel. I realized that there was a very real chance we may not make it out. There were so many, they poured endlessly from the woods, and we were tripping over dead bodies now. But still, they kept coming.We were nearly to Samuel no
“FORMATION!” I screamed over the yell of the Shifters.In an instant, April. Mueller, Calhoun, and Biggs were out of the trees and around me. Calhoun took the front, shield up, and the rest of us fell into a wedge behind him.The formation was simple and allowed us to protect each other’s backs.As
Once again, it was Priscilla who stepped forward and delivered the news. I was left wondering again what exactly her role was. She was Miko’s sister, so of course she would be close to the inner circle, but why did she seem to be in charge of intelligence?She clearly wasn’t a warrior – so who was s

Killian was driving us out of the city and into the hills. The streets wound up and around, taking us through dusky forests and then back again to the sunlit hillside.It was stunning.Somehow, in all the time I’d lived in the area, I’d never driven through the hills. I wondered why there were so fe
Harrison’s brow furrowed in confusion.Killian gestured to me. I waved delicately. “She’s my business partner, and the one you need to talk to about whether you have anything worth leveraging.”“What?!” Harrison’s voice was practically a shriek. He turned on me again. “You’re doing business with ano
I left Harrison spinning his wheels at the starting line, but he corrected and soon was on my tail. His car may have sounded like a kitten compared to Killian’s, but that didn’t mean it was slow.He wove back and forth behind me, trying to find an opening. There was none. I watched him closely and m
