"There is something I should have told you a long time ago."

Tyra looked at him across the candlelit room.

At the blood dried on his jaw. The exhaustion behind his gold eyes. The way he was standing like a man who had made a decision and was not going to unmake it regardless of what happened next.

"Then tell me," she said.

Troy looked at her steadily.

"I was sent to hunt you," he said.

The candle flame moved.

Everything else went completely still.

"Say that again," she said quietly.

"I was sent

  • BENEATH THE CRIMSON MOON    Chapter Thirty Five — The Wall

    They ran from the army.Four streets. Five. Troy pulling her through gaps and turnings she would never have found alone, his hand on her arm the only fixed point in a city that had stopped feeling safe hours ago.They came out on the south bank and Troy pulled her into the shadow of an old warehouse and stopped.Pressed her back against the wall.Pressed himself beside her.Close. Too close for any reason except that the alley was narrow and the night was dangerous and neither of them had anywhere else to be.She could feel his heartbeat from here.Not the supernatural frequency she felt from wolves and vampires. Just a heartbeat. Present and fast and human in a way that grounded her when everything else was trying to pull her apart.She focused on it.Breathed."Clear," he said quietly.She exhaled.He did not move away.She did not ask him to."We cannot keep running," she said."No," he said."We need a plan," she said."Yes," he said."Do you have one," she said.He was quiet for

  • BENEATH THE CRIMSON MOON     Chapter Thirty Four — Something Waking Up

    The north gate was three streets away.Tyra heard it before she saw it. Not the army itself. The reaction to it. Grimwall waking up wrong. Windows lighting. Voices carrying. The particular noise a city made when something had entered it that did not belong and could not be explained away.Drak was already moving.Not toward them. Away. Back into the dark with his phone at his ear and his grey eyes already somewhere else entirely. Like the conversation had been filed and closed and what came next required everything he had.She watched him go."Troy," she said."I know," he said."What do we do," she said.He looked toward the north gate.Then at her."We do not go toward it," he said."Clark is out there somewhere," she said."I know," he said."If vampires just breached the north gate and Clark is between us and them—""I know Tyra," he said. Low and serious and carrying something underneath it that said he had already run through every available option and none of them were clean.S

  • BENEATH THE CRIMSON MOON    Chapter Thirty Three — What Hybrids Start

    Twenty minutes.Troy grabbed her hand and they ran.No discussion. No plan. Just his hand around hers pulling her through the dark Grimwall streets while Marcus's words chased them from behind.Kill right now.She ran beside Troy and focused on his hand and her feet and the cold air hitting her lungs and tried very hard not to think about the nine wolves recalculating somewhere in this city or the warmth of his fingers wrapped around hers or the gold light that had come out of her hands without permission.One thing at a time.Left past the tannery.Right through the mill gap.Down the service lane.Troy pulled her hard into a doorway and pressed flat against the wall and she pressed beside him and they stood there breathing hard in the dark with their shoulders touching and neither of them moving away from it.She could feel his heartbeat.Not the way she felt other heartbeats. Not the supernatural frequency she had been picking up since the bridge. His was different. Familiar. Like

  • BENEATH THE CRIMSON MOON    Chapter Thirty Two — One Against All

    They found Troy first.Exactly like Drak said they would.Tyra and Troy had barely made it two streets from the cooperage when the first wolf stepped out of the shadows directly ahead. Then another from the left. Two more from the right. Moving with quiet coordinated certainty, closing the distance between them and Troy specifically. Not her. Him. They looked straight past her at first like Drak had given very specific instructions about the order of things.Find Troy first.Troy stopped walking.Tyra stopped beside him."Run," he said quietly."No," she said."Tyra—""I said no."Two more appeared from the alley behind them.Then two more from the shadows to the right.Nine wolves.Surrounding them completely.Their heartbeats pressed against her like something physical. Wolf blood. All of it pointed at Troy and through Troy at her. She felt her own hands go warm involuntarily and pressed them flat against her coat to hide it because she did not know what it meant and did not know wh

  • BENEATH THE CRIMSON MOON    Chapter Thirty One — The Debate

    The vampires were still outside.Tyra felt their heartbeats circling the mill like something that had already made a decision and was simply waiting for the right moment. Six of them. Patient. Certain.She looked at Troy."South exit," he said. "One moved north. Five left. Go on my signal."She nodded.He opened the door.They ran.She did not stop until the river crossing.Troy pulled her into the shadow of the old warehouse and they pressed flat against the wall and listened. Three heartbeats still moving north. Getting fainter.She exhaled.Troy's phone buzzed.Marcus.She read it over his shoulder.Full pack meeting. Right now. Vote at midnight. Get her out Troy.She looked at the timestamp.Eleven forty nine.Eleven minutes."They are voting on whether to kill me," she said."Yes," Troy said."Right now," she said."Yes," he said.He typed back to Marcus fast."I need to find somewhere safe for you," he said."I am not hiding while people vote on whether I live or die," she said.

    "Who," Tyra said.Troy opened his mouth.A howl split the night air before he could answer.Not distant. Close. Two streets over at most. Long and deliberate and nothing like the soft sounds Troy made in her alley at night. This was a signal. Pack communication. And whatever it was saying made Troy grab her arm and pull her into the nearest doorway hard enough that her shoulder hit the frame."Move," he said. "Now.""You did not answer me," she said."I will answer while we run." He looked both ways. "Go."They ran.She kept pace with him through the back streets, cutting left past the tannery, right through the gap by the river wall, her boots hitting wet cobblestones and her breath clouding the cold air and Troy's hand on her arm steering her through turnings she never would have found alone."Clark," Troy said while they ran. "Your mother's brother. Eve's blood. He has been in Grimwall for three days sending those messages.""He is family," she said."Yes," Troy said."Why did he n

    The note was at the bottom of her basket.She found it when she got home. Small. Folded twice. Slipped in so carefully she had carried it all the way from the market without knowing it was there.She opened it.One line. Same handwriting as the message inside the necklace.Briar Street. The orphana

    Troy was sitting on her front step when she got home.She stopped walking.He stood up.They looked at each other across the lamplit street and she told herself she was only here because she needed information and he was the only person in Grimwall who might have any."I need to show you something,

  • BENEATH THE CRIMSON MOON    Chapter Twenty Two — The Decision

    Troy walked into Drak's territory alone.No backup. No weapon. Just him and the decision he had made standing under Tyra's dark window last night watching her candle go out and understanding with complete certainty that there was no version of this where he chose the pack over her.The safehouse wa

    She was at her stall before sunrise.Same spot. Same basket. Same smile that cost her nothing. She had practiced it in the mirror that morning until it looked right.It looked right.It felt like nothing."Two copper a bunch!"A woman bought two bunches. Smiled at her. Tyra smiled back and turned t
