The vortex didn't just spit us out. It tried to kill us on the way down.

  • Lilith And Her Three Devil Wolves    The Shifting Sands

    The vortex didn't just spit us out. It tried to kill us on the way down.We hit the ground so hard my teeth rattled in my skull, and the impact sent me sliding across sand that glowed this weird violet color under a sky with two moons hanging in it like someone's bad dream. I was coughing before I even stopped moving, dust coating my throat and my lungs screaming for air that tasted like copper and something sweet I couldn't name. My hands were already moving though, patting down my chest, my legs, checking for holes or blood or anything missing because the last thing I remembered was the mainframe exploding and Lilith screaming my name and Ronan grabbing the toddler and Vane throwing himself over the twins and then nothing but white light and the feeling of being ripped apart molecule by molecule."Everyone alive?!" I roared, kicking away a chunk of debris that looked like it used to be part of a wall. My voice came out rough and broken, but it was loud enough. I reached down and gra

  • Lilith And Her Three Devil Wolves    The True Alpha

    The crystal cathedral shattered into a thousand pieces of light as ten versions of my mate came charging through the rubble, and I swear to every god in every dimension, my heart stopped beating for a full three seconds.Ten Malakais. Ten identical, corrupted, starlight-infested copies of the man I loved, all moving in perfect synchronization like some kind of nightmare choreography. Their heavy broadswords caught the flickering light of the dying crystal pillars, and their red eyes, so familiar and so horrifyingly wrong, locked onto us with murderous intent.But our real Kai? He didn't flinch. He didn't even take a step back. Instead, he planted his feet on the cracking crystal floor and let out a roar that literally shattered the windows above us. The sound vibrated through my chest, through my bones, through the very bedrock of the Outer Void itself, and I watched the corrupted duplicates hesitate for just a fraction of a second.That was all we needed."Get behind me, Queen!" Kai

    The cathedral doors didn't just open. They exploded inward like someone had strapped dynamite to them and lit the fuse with pure spite. Stone fragments flew past my head and I ducked behind a broken pillar, my heart hammering so hard I could feel it in my throat. Dust and debris clouded everything, and for a second I couldn't see anything except shadows and wreckage.Then he stepped through the smoke.I felt my blood turn to ice.It was Kai. Same height, same broad shoulders, same scar cutting through his left eyebrow that I'd traced with my fingers a hundred times. Same broadsword resting on his shoulder like it weighed nothing. But his scent hit me a second later and I almost gagged. It was wrong. So wrong. Like someone had taken everything good about Kai and soaked it in gasoline and rotten candy. That toxic, sugary rot of the Outer Void clung to him like a second skin."Look at this pathetic little family reunion," the duplicate said, stepping over the rubble with a casualness tha

  • Lilith And Her Three Devil Wolves    Double Pulse

    The monitor screen flashed red.UPLOAD FAILED. FILE DELETED.I watched those words blink once, twice, and then Ronan's body went completely still on the altar. No rise and fall of his chest. No twitch in his fingers. Just flat, dead silence.The datalink cable that had been connected to his spine melted into useless slag, dripping hot metal onto the crystal floor with a sickening sizzle.I didn't scream. I didn't cry. I didn't fall to my knees and beg some invisible god to reverse what I was seeing.I reared back and punched straight through the main console.The glass shattered. The screens died. A million glowing pieces of shrapnel exploded outward like I'd just detonated a bomb, and honestly, maybe I had. My knuckles split open, blood running down my wrist, but I didn't feel it. I couldn't feel anything except the roaring in my skull that kept saying the same thing over and over.They're not gone. They're not gone. They're not fucking gone."Kai, stop!" Vane grabbed my arm from beh

    The wire didn't just pull me in. It swallowed me whole.One second I was standing in the starlight cathedral with my datalink cable plugged into the terminal, and the next my entire body locked up like someone had poured concrete into my veins. I couldn't move. Couldn't blink. Couldn't even scream. My physical form went rigid, every muscle frozen mid-twitch, and somewhere far away I felt my own body hit the marble floor with a sickening thud.Then the world dissolved into silver.I materialized inside a hallway that stretched in every direction with no beginning and no end. The walls were made of glowing code, lines of data streaming past so fast they looked like liquid metal. The floor hummed beneath my boots, pulsing with a heartbeat that wasn't mine. Up ahead, maybe fifty feet away, stood the digital copy of our son.He looked exactly like Mateo. Same dark curls. Same chubby cheeks. Same tiny hands that should've been holding a juice box instead of a datapad that controlled the phy

  • Lilith And Her Three Devil Wolves    The Ghost

    The First Sire's head exploded in a shower of black ichor and ancient bone fragments, and I watched it happen through the scope of my rifle with absolutely zero satisfaction. Not even a little bit. Not even a flicker of that usual post-kill rush that used to make my hands steady and my breathing even out. Because killing him didn't matter. Killing him didn't fix anything. Killing him was just me pulling a trigger while my nephew's body kept breathing on that obsidian altar like some kind of horrifying puppet.I lowered my rifle and just stood there, frozen, watching Lilith cradle Kai's small body against her chest. His chest was moving. Up and down. Up and down. Regular as clockwork. His lungs were working perfectly. His heart was beating exactly the way a three-year-old's heart should beat. But his eyes were wide open and completely empty, like someone had taken a paintbrush and just wiped away everything that made him him."Don't do that," Vane whispered, and I realized I'd been hol

    Lilith's POV The sound of running water fills everywhere, echoing in the bathroom.
