First Bite Chapter 7
- AutumnBy the time we got back to the brownstone, Chicago had gone quiet in the way cities only do after midnight.Not silent.Muted.Traffic somewhere far off. A siren several blocks away. The hum of tires on wet pavement. Wind scraping along brick.Normal sounds.Human sounds.They should have comforted me.Instead they felt flimsy.Like stage dressing someone had arranged over a hole in the ground.Tristan unlocked the front door without looking at me.That hurt more than if he had tried.Not because I needed his attention.Because I knew why he was withholding it.He was being careful. Measuring distance. Trying not to press on bruises he had helped make.Jade stalked in first, still wearing righteous fury like body heat. Dom came in behind her and locked the door again, then checked the windows on instinct before finally stepping farther into the room. I stood just inside the entry, shrugging out of my coat with clumsy fingers, and for one ugly second I had no idea where to put
First Bite Chapter 6
I did not get an answer.The sound that cut across the garage was not a voice.It was heels on concrete.Measured.Unhurried.Certain enough to make every other noise feel secondary.The alarms still screamed around us. Red light kept washing over the pillars, over the spiderweb cracks spreading through windshields, over Mara's impossible reflection in the black sedan. But when the woman stepped out of the elevator with four guards at her back, the space shifted around her anyway.Power did that sometimes.It did not have to be loud.It just had to assume it belonged everywhere.Councilor Seraphine Vale wore charcoal silk and a winter white coat that somehow remained untouched by the grime of the parking garage. Her dark hair was pinned into something severe and elegant. She looked like a woman arriving for an opera rather than a containment scene under a collapsing building.Her pale gaze passed over the shattered glass, the distorted reflections, the guards, Dom, Jade, Tristan, and
First Bite Chapter 5
AutumnNobody moved.The parking garage sat submerged in darkness except for the pulsing red glow of emergency lights overhead and the violent flashes of car alarms strobing across concrete pillars.Every vehicle window reflected figures that did not exist in the garage itself.Tall silhouettes.Still silhouettes.Watching silhouettes.Dozens of them.The air pressure changed sharply, heavy enough to make breathing feel delayed.Jade grabbed my coat sleeve hard enough to wrinkle fabric. “Tell me those are not real.”Dom stepped slightly in front of us automatically.
First Bite Chapter 4
AutumnThe first scream came from across the street.Sharp. Human. Immediate.Then another.People stumbled backward from the shattered storefront windows bordering the park as cracks spread through the glass in violent silver lines. Car alarms erupted one after another down the block, shrill and chaotic beneath the low hum now vibrating through the city itself.Not an earthquake.Worse.A resonance.My pulse slammed hard against my ribs.“Autumn!” Jade shouted through the phone.“I have to go.”“Don’t you dare hang up on me aga—”I ended the call and shoved the phone into my pocket just as another streetlamp burst overhead.Glass exploded across the sidewalk.Someone screamed my name.Not Jade. Not Tristan.A stranger.I turned sharply.A man stood near the park entrance staring directly at me, blood running from tiny cuts across his cheeks where shattered glass had struck him. His expression was blank. Wrong. Like sleepwalking through terror.Then he pointed at me slowly.“She’

The Book didn’t whisper that night; it screamed through the stillness of the house.Autumn jolted awake at precisely 3:33 a.m., her heart racing as she blinked at the sight before her. The Book pulsed with a ghostly light at the

Autumn lay awake in her dimly lit bedroom, unable to find solace in sleep. Each time her eyelids fluttered shut, a chilling breeze seemed to sweep through the room, caressing her skin and echoing her name in whispers. But these were not the comforting tones of friends or the tender inflections of T

The Veil didn’t shatter—it sloughed away, layer by layer, like peeling skin beneath a relentless sun. Autumn stepped through the fractured surface of the mirror, the violet flame still dancing fervently around her dagger. Instantly,

Rain dripped steadily from the aged stone facade of the old church, pooling in the crevices of the worn steps, while its boarded windows seemed to weep, cracked panes revealing shadows within. The Mirabella chapel had stood abandoned for decades, its doors sealed since the death of her gr
