I've been Tom's friend for years, since long before the Rookeries and the resistance and all of it. That friendship is one of the few things I've had that felt solid and real.

The other thing I had was money, and now I don't have that anymore.

The battle took everything. My income, my savings, whatever fragile sense of financial security I'd managed to build. I'm surviving on community charity now, on handouts, on the particular kind of quiet pity that people give you when they feel bad for

  • Alpha VS Omega' Twin VS Twin (A Dark Werewolf Romance)   Desperate Measures

    POV: Callum | London, various locationsThe forty-eight hours begins at midnight on Monday and ends at midnight on Wednesday and I spend the daylight hours of Tuesday exhausting every option I can identify in the specific order that a person works through options when they know the options are insufficient but which require attempting anyway, because not attempting them produces the specific outcome of accepting Mordaunt's terms without having demonstrated that they could not be avoided, and I am not willing to accept that without the demonstration.Parliament first, which is the option that has the most institutional legitimacy and which has the least practical likelihood, and I know this before I make the call to Alteroni but I make it anyway because Alteroni's attempt is worth something even when the attempt fails.Alteroni reaches out to three undecided Parliament members and to Ashford and to Elena within the hour, the speed of a person who understood the urgency when I explained

  • Alpha VS Omega' Twin VS Twin (A Dark Werewolf Romance)   Mordaunt's Return

    POV: Callum | Neutral location, midnightThe Bermondsey pub smelled like stale beer and old secrets. I'd heard stories about this place—how it had been neutral territory for our kind since before I was even aware there was a "our kind." Not because anyone declared it neutral, but because enough supernatural business had gone down here over decades that the place had soaked up the neutrality like a sponge.Mordaunt was already at a corner table when I pushed through the door. The strategic position—back to the wall, clear view of the entrance. Five years in Surrey under dragon protection hadn't diminished him. If anything, he'd grown more focused, like he'd been sharpening himself while in exile, waiting for this exact moment.He looked exactly the same. That's the thing about ancient vampires—five years doesn't leave a mark. But five years had marked me, and sitting across from him now, I felt every year of it, every scar, every late night spent building something he could tear down w

  • Alpha VS Omega' Twin VS Twin (A Dark Werewolf Romance)   The Dragon's Bill

    POV: Callum | Rookeries operational buildingThe message from Vermithrax Consolidated arrives on a Monday—of course it does. That's the day financial institutions tend to send communications they've been holding over the weekend. It has the same quality as all Vermithrax communications: precise language that leaves no room for interpretation.Five years of monthly payments of fifty thousand pounds each. That's two hundred and fifty thousand pounds paid, an accurate count I've maintained because inaccuracy in debt records creates problems that accurate records avoid.The message doesn't discuss the payments I've made. It discusses the remaining balance.Outstanding balance: £250,000. Payment required in full. Deadline: thirty days from receipt of this notice.I read it three times—the number of readings required for information you don't want to be true to finally sink in. I read it a fourth time just to confirm that the third reading was accurate.Two hundred and fifty thousand pounds

  • Alpha VS Omega' Twin VS Twin (A Dark Werewolf Romance)    Mother's Legacy

    POV: Lucia | Rookeries operational building, eveningThe locket rests in my palm, the photograph inside showing a face I've never met but somehow recognize. She has my eyes—that's what Papa said first, and I'm still processing it. The eyes in the photograph, the ones I see in mirrors when I'm not avoiding them, are the same. The same particular darkness, the same specific shape around them.Papa tells me about Valentina the way he tells me things that matter—without the managed parts, just the honest truth. The telling takes time, and I receive it the way I receive important things—completely, without interrupting. Interrupting something important before it's finished gives you an incomplete version, and I don't want that.He tells me about her fight against Parliament. How she fought as a dhampir running from hunters, as a full vampire organizing resistance, as someone who understood what the system was doing to her community and decided that understanding required responding. He tel

  • Alpha VS Omega' Twin VS Twin (A Dark Werewolf Romance)   Valentina's Memory

    POV: Callum | Parliament steps, then RookeriesFive years.The Parliament steps on the anniversary have a certain weight to them, the kind that places take on when they've witnessed something you carry with you. To everyone else, they're just stone steps under the midday sun. To me, they're something else entirely. The steps haven't changed, but I have.I come every year. Not because I decide to each time, but because I made a promise to myself in the first year after, and some promises you keep because keeping them is the only way to honor what was lost. It's an acknowledgment that Valentina existed, that she was here, and that both those things matter enough to mark.Dante comes with me. That started in the second year, when we both showed up on the same morning, discovering we'd independently arrived at the same ritual. We've been coming together ever since.The flowers are always white—Dante's choice. I've never asked why, and he's never explained. That silence between us has beco

  • Alpha VS Omega' Twin VS Twin (A Dark Werewolf Romance)   Lucia's Education

    POV: Lucia | The Sanctuary and Rookeries operational buildingMy education in what I am has been a series of discoveries, most of them accidental, each one another piece in a puzzle I'm only beginning to understand.The vampire speed manifested when I was five, trying to reach a jar on a high shelf before Ash could stop me. One moment I was on the floor, the next my hand was on the jar—before the thought had even finished forming. The surprise made me knock it to the floor, where it shattered, which is how Ash found out.The werewolf strength came a week earlier, when a stuck drawer in the operational building came completely off in my hands, handle and all. The sound brought Papa running from the next room, his expression shifting from concern to something else entirely when he saw what I'd done.Daywalking I've had since birth—the most documented of my abilities, the one Parliament monitors most closely. Papa explained it as a dhampir quality both my parents possessed, the one piece
