Black Hollow Chapter 21
Dead Things Shouldn’t WatchEvery dead crow opened its eyes.Not slowly.Not one by one.All at once.Dozens of small black heads turned toward the truck, silver eyes catching in the headlights like coins at the bottom of a grave.I stopped breathing.Damien’s hand tightened on the steering wheel until leather creaked beneath his fingers.“Do not move,” he said.My laugh came out small and wrong. “Great. Excellent. Because moving was definitely my first instinct.”It wasn’t.My body had gone cold and useless in the passenger seat. Corey’s dried blood pulled tight across my fingers. My wet sock rubbed against my heel. The heater blew warm air against my knees like the world had the audacity to keep functioning normally.Outside, the crows hung upside down from the branches, tied by thin silver thread.Their wings shifted in the rain.Not from wind.There was no wind.Only rain falling straight down through the headlights.One crow blinked.Then another.Dead things should not blink.Th

The Road HomeThe word on Damien’s truck was still wet.HOME.Four letters dragged across black metal in dark red strokes, smeared slightly by the rain but not enough to hide the message.My stomach turned.“That better not be Corey’s blood.”Damien stepped in front of me immediately, his body blocking mine from the parking lot.Again.I was getting real tired of staring at the back of this man.“It’s not,” he said.I looked around him. “You can smell that?”

Frost Ridge“Frost Ridge.”I stared at him.Then I laughed.Not because it was funny.Because apparently my nervous system had filed horrifying decisions and comedy in the same drawer.“No.”Damien’s eyes narrowed. “Lena.”“No, absolutely not. That is the worst possible answer. Maggie literally told me not to go there, and Maggie owns a shotgun. I respect women with shotguns.”“Maggie doesn’t know everything.”“Maggie knows enough to not send me to the murder house.”

You’re Coming With MeSomething the council should have killed before you were born.For a second, I forgot how to breathe.Not because of the words.Because of the way Damien said them.Not cruelly.Not like he believed them.Like he had heard them before.Like they had haunted him.Like some part of him had spent six years standing between me and a sentence I had never known had been written over my life.The bar tilted around me.
Black Hollow Chapter 17
What Everyone KnowsFor three seconds, no one moved.Not Damien.Not Maggie.Not the wolves.Not even Corey, whose blood was still warm beneath my hands.The creature’s words hung in the room like smoke.The heir bleeds for humans.I looked around slowly.Every face turned away too late.That was the thing about guilt.It had terrible timing.Mrs. Pike clutched her moonstone charm so tightly the chain had cut into her skin. The Thorncroft guard near the wall pressed a hand to his bleeding mouth and stared at me like I had become the monster. The humans looked confused, terrified, half-drunk, and fully ready to pretend none of this was happening.But the wolves?The wolves knew something.Not everything.Maybe not even most of it.But enough.Enough that the word heir had not landed like nonsense.It had landed like a threat.My hands pressed harder against Corey’s side.He winced.“Sorry,” I whispered.“Still alive,” he murmured.“Barely.”“Rude.”“Accurate.”Maggie exhaled shakily. “
Black Hollow Chapter 16
Corey BleedsCorey’s blood spread across the floorboards.Everything else disappeared.The rain.The screams.Damien’s roar.The creature crawling backward toward the broken window.All of it blurred until there was only Corey on the ground with one hand pressed to his side and red seeping between his fingers.Human red.Too bright under the bar lights.“Corey!”I dropped beside him so fast my knees hit broken glass. Pain sliced through my jeans, sharp and immediate.I barely felt it.Corey blinked up at me, pale beneath the flush of panic. Rainwater dripped from his hair onto his forehead. His mouth tried to curve.“Bad idea,” he rasped.I pressed both hands over his. “You think?”His laugh turned into a wince.“Thought it might work.”“You stood in front of a monster.”“Yeah.” His breath hitched. “Not my best work.”Blood warmed my palms.Too much blood.Panic crawled up my throat and grabbed hard.“No, no, no.” My voice shook. “You are not bleeding out on a bar floor. That is drama
