CECIL

CECIL DIDN’T ENJOY SHARING HIS WORKSPACE WITH EIRA—BUT IT WAS THE ONLY WAY HE COULD MONITOR HER. After what happened the night before, Cecil and his mates were on guard. Eira had proved herself capable of stealthily moving around the estate. She’d even fooled Valencia.

Cecil ruminated over it all night, if the bags beneath his eyes were any indication. The magi had come to one unsettling conclusion: Eira Burns crawled out of the guest room’s window undetected and spied on them.

How much of their conversation had she heard? Was she already onto them? If she was, when would she make her move?

He mulled over those questions as he prepared his workstation for the day. The morning after Eira’s arrival, he’d shown her to the workroom and given her permission to set up a station across from his. As he stared across the room at Eira’s setup, he mourned the loss of his private space.

It’ll be worth it, he told himself. If I’m here watching her, she won’t make a move.

But for how long?

    THORENTHOREN WATCHED SALEM’S BODY TWIST AS HE FELL AND SCREAMED HIS MATE’S NAME. From across the hall, he sensed what was about to occur a mile away. Yet even with his sharp, canine instincts, the werewolf was too slow to react.Time appeared to stop as he ran toward Salem, who hit the floor hard.The crunch Thoren heard next lit an inextinguishable fire beneath his skin.When he finally reached Salem, Thoren collapsed onto his knees beside him and leaned down to examine his mate’s condition. The twisted expression of pain that distorted the vampire’s typically calm demeanor ripped into him like a saw.Two words sizzled at the forefront of his mind: Salem’s hurt.A monsoon of questions leaked through the cracks of Thoren’s hardened mind.Why had Salem gotten up from his wheelchair without calling for someone?How badly was he hurt and what was that crunch Thoren heard?Was their unborn baby okay?Thoren had no way of knowing the answers to his questions in that harrowing moment.“Sal

    SALEMALARMS ECHOED THROUGH THE HALLS OF THE ESTATE, LOUD AND RELENTLESS. They woke Salem from a deep slumber. The vampire yawned and looked around. He’d fallen asleep on the couch, but was now comfortably sprawled out in his own bed. Beside him, Thoren and Ulrich lay sleeping, but as the alarms continued to blare through the building, both sat up and acknowledged him.“Someone must have tripped the wards,” the werewolf said, his voice low and groggy. “Go figure.”Salem wiped his sleep crusted eyes and came to his senses slowly.Hasty footsteps echoed down the hallway outside his suite. As he stared through the open doorway, Cecil appeared moments later and hurried to Salem’s side.“There’s been an incident,” the magi explained.Salem stifled another yawn. “Did something trip the wards?”“Yes. Something powerful. Valencia is checking it out now.”“I will find out,” Ulrich announced.“I’ll go with you,” Thoren agreed. “Cecil, you stay here with Salem.”His companions rose from the matt

    THOREN"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU’LL BE THE BAIT?”THOREN GROWLED. The werewolf paced back and forth along the gazebo, scowling as he went.Thoren paused near the bridge and punched one of the wooden pillars holding up the wooden structure and swore.“I knew we shouldn’t have left you alone with him. That guy is no good. He wants to use you as bait, for gods’ sake. Anyone who thinks my pregnant mate is bait can suck my dick!”“Thoren, calm down!” Ulrich urged.“Yeah, what he said!” Cecil snapped. “No matter how mad you are, the only ones who should suck that is us.”Thoren was so angry, the joke did little to curtail his mood. He whirled around and growled, “I will not calm down! I refuse to accept the lives of my mate and child being at stake like this.”Ulrich moved between them and attempted to mediate the situation. “I know you’re upset about Salem agreeing to the deal, but I’m sure he has his reasons. Why don’t we hear him out?”“I don’t need to hear him out,” Thoren retorted. The bl

    SALEM CECIL AND THOREN RAN INTO THE BEDROOM, PANTING AND OUT OF BREATH. The magi had a paper rolled up in his fist, holding it up into the air like it had a significant importance. Once Cecil caught his breath, he approached the bed and collapsed beside Salem.Salem’s mate turned his head toward him and said, “The king of the Wilds is coming.”“That’s significant,” Salem replied. “Why is he coming all the way out here?”“See for yourself.” Cecil handed Salem the note. “He supposedly has some intelligence he wants to tell you about.”Salem examined the rolled parchment. Just as Cecil had said, the message was from the king of the Wilds, informing Salem of an impromptu visit. He stared at the handwriting and puzzled over the king’s admission. “I wonder what kind of intel it is.”Thoren sat down on the edge of the bed and rubbed at the back of his neck. “I have a bad feeling about it,” the werewolf admitted.“What if it’s another one of his card readings?” Ulrich mused.“But to come all

    CECIL AFTER COLLAPSING IN THE GARDEN, A VISION CONSUMED CECIL WITH IMAGES OF A DARK, COLD PLACE. Inside the dreamlike realm, Cecil stood in a dark clearing with a dreary building towering ahead. It took him a moment to realize he wasn’t dreaming—no, this really was a vision. He surrendered to the pull of magic and let the vision devour him.Cecil looked around and took in as much of the scenery as he could.Overhead, the moon glistened in the sky, casting shadows across the tall grass. The overgrown clearing circled around him, wide and boxed in by a forest of towering oak trees. The grass reached up to the magi’s knees. It was obvious the clearing hadn’t been untouched by mankind for sometime.As he stood still and listened, a chilling realization dawned on him—it was far too quiet. His surroundings were deathly still. Where he expected a breeze to stir the leaves high above his head, he found none. Not a creature so much as chirped beyond the line of trees.He turned his focus towa
