"Do you actually want to watch this?" Luciano asks.
I nod and pull the blanket higher. "Sombra loves the Shifter Network."
He stops with the remote pointed at the screen. A small, amused smile tugs at his mouth like he is trying to be polite about my dog's weird hobbies. "Your dog watches television?"
"She is a basic bitch," I say.
I ignore the sharp, mental growl Sombra sends my way. Luciano looks from the husky on the rug to me and back

Alanza’s POV"You actually showed up," a voice says from the shadows behind me.I whip around so fast my neck cracks. Sister Loreen is framed in the doorway, looking exactly like the nightmare I remembered. Her skin has that wax-museum paleness, and her hair is so dark it looks like a hole cut out of the air. Then there are the eyes. They aren't just red; they pulse with a faint, internal glow that makes my skin crawl.The weirdest part is the light. The curtains in this room are tossed wide open, soaking the floor in sunshine. I always thought vampires turned to ash the second a ray hit them, but she just stands there, bathed in it. She visited me during the day once before, too. I really need to do some research on her kind. My ignorance is a liability that's probably going to get me killed eventually."How are we even here?" I ask. My voice shakes, and I hate it. One second I was in my apartment, and the next, I’m in a Gothic fever dream. B

Alanza’s POVLuciano lingers, his gaze heavy with a mix of protective instinct and something that looks a lot like guilt. I can’t meet his eyes for more than a second. My brain is stuck on one word. One person."Oh," I manage to say.It is a flat, empty sound. For months, I let myself believe my mother would simply stay a statue in that hospital bed forever. It was easier to imagine her as a fading memory rather than a breathing person. If she was a memory, I didn't have to deal with the wreckage she left behind. Now, she is awake, and the mess is real again."I would need to go back to Crystal Lake to talk to her myself," Luciano says. He speaks with a strange rhythm, like he is walking through a minefield and trying not to trip. He doesn't ask me to come along. He knows I wouldn't. Or maybe he just doesn't want me near her.At my feet, Sombra shifts. Her ears twitch, catching every vibration of our voices. She is judging the silence b

"Your dog watches television?""She is a basic bitch," I say.I ignore the sharp, mental growl Sombra sends my way. Luciano looks from the husky on the rug to me and back again. He shrugs and clicks the power button. He finds the right channel just as a drama returns from a commercial break. Sombra usually avoids the talk shows, but she will sit through any of the scripted teen romances.Luciano stares at the screen. On the monitor, a male actor begins to shift. It is a messy, CGI transition. Fabric rips apart and the sound of snapping bone fills the quiet living room. It looks painful and jagged."That is revolting," Luciano says. He looks genuinel

Alanza’s POV"I am not a piece of porcelain, Luciano," I muttered, though my voice lacked its usual bite.Getting Dr. Lexy to sign my release papers had been a marathon of stubbornness. It took an hour of bargaining and a solemn vow to let Libbie haunt my apartment twice a day for vitals and blood draws before he finally caved. Now, as we navigated the hallway of my building, Luciano hovered close enough to catch my shadow. He was clearly vibrating with the urge to scoop me up and carry me, his eyes darting toward every corner as if a stray vampire might leap out of the drywall.He hated that I refused to hole up in the Alpha Lodge. To him, this apartment was a glass house. To me, it was the only place that still smelled like my life, even if the lobby was currently crawling with grim-faced men in suits who looked like they belonged at a high-stakes funeral. Their presence was stifling, but I took the win. I was home.The moment the door clicked shu

Alanza’s POV"You finally decided to join the living," Sombra said, her mental voice echoing with a heavy yawn.I blinked against the harsh fluorescent light of the hospital room. My mind felt like it was wrapped in wet cotton. "I must have passed out.""You didn't just pass out," she corrected. Her phantom tail flicked against my consciousness. "You dropped mid-sentence while talking to Luciano. He nearly took a nurse’s head off because she didn't sprint into the room the second he hit the call button. The man has no chill."I let out a soft, tired huff. "I’m almost glad I was asleep for that. I don't think I had the energy to manage his temper.""You were running on empty, Alanza. Blood loss will do that. They hooked you up to a bag of the red stuff overnight. You look less like a ghost now."I sat up slowly, testing the weight of my own limbs. The world didn't tilt or spin. The blurred edges of my vision had sharpened, a

Lucia’s POV"Is someone there?"My own voice sounded like it belonged to a stranger. It was thin and cracked, barely rising above the rhythmic tapping of water hitting the floor.Plink.Plink, plink.The sound was uneven. It grated on my nerves, drilling into my skull until my teeth ached. I tried to shift my weight, but a sharp, hot flare of pain exploded across the left side of my face. I groaned, squeezing my eyes shut, though it didn't matter. The world was already pitch black.I remember the vampires. I remember the coldness of their skin and the way the air seemed to die around them. My heart hammered against my ribs as the memory of the attack rushed back. I reached up to touch my throbbing cheek, but my arms didn't go far. Metal cinched tight around my wrists, followed by the heavy, industrial rattle of iron.I pulled harder, and the sound echoed off stone walls. My pulse spiked. I wasn't just in the dark. I was restrain

Alanza’s POV"You don't need to check in every hour, Luciano," I said into the phone, my thumb hovering over the end-call button.He sighed on the other end, a sound full of that protective weight he always carried. I didn't wait for his rebuttal before hanging up. Following L

Alanza’s POV"Do you think he actually misses me, or is it just the bond talking?" I asked the empty room, my voice cracking against the quiet.The hospital ceiling was a flat, clinical white. I had memorized every tiny crack in the plaster over the last three nights. The only thing
