"You understand, then. Why must this happen?" "I understand you're murdering children to prevent a prophecy you fear," Casie countered, her wolf rising closer to the surface as protective rage built within her. "That's not balance. That's terror." Inside the laundromat, something shattered. Through their bond, she felt Rick's triumph as he reached James, shielding the confused teenager with his body. Nathaniel had subdued his opponent – not killed, she realised with surprise, but incapacitated. The white-clad assassin – the Sparrow, she now realised – used her momentary distraction to strike again, this time with a secondary weapon that hummed with magical energy. "The triad must not reach f

Some truths are better discovered in daylight. It was as close to a confession as she was likely to get. Dante knew she was investigating something. Knew she was close to the truth. And instead of denying it or deflecting, he was warning her off. Which meant it was true. All of it. Elena closed her laptop with shaking hands. Outside her window, the city stretched dark and infinite, full of shadows and secrets and men who thought they could save the world through violence. She should be terrified. She should be calling the police, washing her hands of Dante Salvatore and his dangerous double life.

“Accidents happen.” He took out a tissue and wiped his shirt. Something about him felt different. Safe but careful. I started to walk away but he spoke again. “You are Maya Collins right? The new assistant.” I froze. How did he know my name? “Yes. Who are you?” “Damien Gray,” he said softly. “I work in accounts. I have seen you around.” He looked around the empty hallway then stepped closer. His voice became very low. “I know what is happening to you. Mr Havisham. The secrets. Your sister too. I have been watching from inside.”

Or I could follow this mystery caller and learn whether another player — a hidden ally, or an enemy wearing a kindness mask — had been lying in wait. I picked up the envelope, set it inside the locked drawer of my desk, and took a deep breath. The woman who would have once chosen fury and immediate exposure would now wait a little longer. Patience, I told myself. Precision. Midnight would come, and with it the first test of a vengeance that had, until now, only existed on paper. CHAPTER 17 — The Taste of Vengeance (Lydia’s POV) The morning sun rose like a liar, golden and deceitful. From my bedroom window, I watched the city stretch into consciousness — the same city where my heart had shatt

SUNESIS'S POV The morning light felt too bright, stinging my tired eyes. I stood inside the huge, modern penthouse office of Ashford Corporation. Everything was white, grey, and cold. I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to disappear inside my massive, beige wool sweater. The thick sleeves hid my wrists completely, protecting my secrets and my scars. My hands shook a little bit as I stood in front of the large mahogany desk. I held the morning papers and files tightly against my chest.

Alfred never let him down where food was concerned. “Don. If I listened to you whenever you told me not to bother, you would never get anything done.” The cart halted at the bottom of the bed as the butler turned to the curtain. David’s protests couldn’t slip past his lips before the vile man ripped the pitch-black curtains back to let the sun in. Who did the man think he was to open the curtains without his permission? Like a vampire, the mafia boss released a low hiss, shielding his eyes from the bright light. Who the hell did the butler think he was to allow sunlight to breach the mafia boss's dark domain?

It wouldn’t be long before the full moon rose. As the sunset depression rose in Dannie. She looked at the syringe in her hand then back out the window at the twilight landscape.

I stared at the window, watching people walking down the street, and for perhaps the first time in my life, I wondered if any of them were a wizard or a sorceress, and if so, if they had to do what I did - to always run away from something and be careful about everything they do - are they as homeless as I am? I sighed and took a sip of my cup of coffee. After looking out the window again, I saw a tall, well-built guy, about 19 years old, with dark eyes and black half-long, wavy hair, falling slightly over his left eye. His complexion was milky white, which was quite strange, as his features suggested that he was rather Italian. This young man wore dark navy blue jeans and a white shirt with
