~ TESS ~

I try not to hyperventilate, breathing in through my nose and out through my mouth. My chest feels tight, my thoughts scattered. I need time to process all of this—everything that’s just happened. But I can’t afford to fall apart. If I want to stay grounded, I have to push the panic away and focus on Lyra. Someone tried to kill her. Tried to kill both of us.

And for all I know, the vampire and wolf that attacked might still be nearby. Waiting. Watching. Ready to try again.

“You said someone tried to have you killed?” My voice sounds more stable than I feel. Thankfully, the heat and dizziness from earlier have faded, and I can finally think clearly. I zero in on my thoughts, doing everything I can to ignore the strange energy crawling under my skin. “Was it the things that came to my house? Did they get away?”

“The wolf is dead,” Lyra says quietly. “But the vampire escaped.”

“Ronan thinks there’s more to it. He suspects a couple of women from another pack are involve

  • MARKED BY MOONLIGHT    Chapter 139 – While She Sleeps

    ~ CAIN ~ The memory of ripping out the throat of my own pack member sickens me to no end. I’d been so lost in the moment I couldn’t control myself. I hadn’t understood the possessiveness, the desire, the raw need that had consumed me when I met—and fucked—Freya. I truly believed I’d found my mate. The one female meant for me. Only to learn the truth when the spell faded and the world came crashing down. Freya had been a scorned woman who ended the life of another because I’d denied her sexual advances. Her pride could only take so much. To retaliate, she hatched the perfect plan. I became her means to an end. She fucked me, bespelled me, and almost ruined my life with a fucking smile on her face. So when Catherine finally initiated the dream-pairing, I left the Blue Hill Pack and joined the Hollowbane Pack—even though it cost me the love and respect of my pack. But I can’t escape what I’ve done. There isn’t

  • MARKED BY MOONLIGHT    Chapter 138 – To The Not-So-Distant Past

    ~ CAIN ~ A hard no is Alex Zander’s answer as he folds his arms over his chest. “She has enemies because she left the Crimson Court, abandoned Blackthorn, and went headfirst into bounty hunting—just so she could collect vampire heads like trophies. Along the way, she took out anyone in her path—most of whom have families with long memories and deep grudges. Catherine isn’t stupid. She knows if anyone finds out what she can do, she’s a dead hybrid walking. Death by touch? Yeah, that’s not something immortals are fond of.” A sudden knock slams against the door, and I’m on my feet in an instant, a snarl rising in my throat. I didn’t survive everything to lose her now. I need to get her out of Alex’s apartment. Fast. I’ve already checked in with a few members of the Hollowbane Pack. When I let them know what’s going on, Ronan told me not to worry. The Hollowbane Pack has some safe houses where Catherine can be kept. Once she

  • MARKED BY MOONLIGHT    Chapter 137 — The Price of Survival

    ~ CATHERINE ~ I don’t notice the quiet at first. It creeps in like fog until the stillness wraps around me. The snarls are gone, and all I can hear is the thunder of my own heartbeat echoing inside my skull. Then Cain appears, gently prying my hand from the gaping wound on my chest. He lowers his head and inhales deeply, and I see the tight clench of his jaw and feel the rage rolling off him in waves. “It has to come out,” he says hoarsely as he looks me over, his voice raw and trembling slightly. I nod weakly. “I can’t get a grip on it.” He draws another breath, steadying himself. “Close your eyes, baby. Let me try. Please, let me try.” I obey, knowing he needed to do this to feel in control. The tips of his claws puncture my skin and I bite down hard on my tongue a desperate attempt to keep the scream locked in my throat. The sharp metallic taste of blood f

  • MARKED BY MOONLIGHT    Chapter 136 — The Promise of Death

    ~ CATHERINE ~ I press the numerical keypad in front of me. When the safe clicks open, I grab my shoulder holster, slide the leather straps over my arms, and reach for a pair of Berettas. I check each chamber, then the magazines, before flipping the safeties and slipping them into place. “Who are your enemies, Catherine?” I jump at the warm breath on my ear—dammit, I didn’t even hear Cain move. “I can’t be certain,” I mutter, pissed at myself for dropping my guard. “I’ve pissed off just about every creature on earth. Humans, vampires, Blackthorn, demons, witches, warlocks, ghouls, zombies, Chimera—you name it. Anyone or anything could be coming up to say hello.” His hands settle on my shoulders, firm, and he turns me around to face him. Being this close to him throws me off. Aside from Alex, no one’s worried about me like this in years. I hesitate before looking up into Cain’s face

  • MARKED BY MOONLIGHT    Chapter 135 — Unwanted Vistor

    ~ CATHERINE ~ So this is what heaven feels like. That’s my only coherent thought as Cain devours me with pure, unrelenting hunger, his mouth working my pussy like it’s the last taste of life he’ll ever have. I clutch the edge of the counter, but it slips from my grasp. My fingers dive into his hair, tugging, grounding myself in the storm. He growls, and the sound vibrates through me as he laps at my folds, each pass of his tongue setting off shockwaves. Then he slides a thick finger inside me and I arch with a cry, my body jerking as he drives in deeper until his knuckle meets the slick softness of my sex. “You ready for me, hellcat?” His voice is rough now, hoarse and hungry. He pulls out and returns with two fingers this time. When my pussy stretches around them, I gasp and let my thighs fall open. “Your bod

  • MARKED BY MOONLIGHT    Chapter 134 — I Stayed for Her

    ~ CAIN ~ West mentioned Catherine’s involvement in the faction, but I never had a reason to really consider the implications—until now. “Why didn’t they wait to train you? Why did they take such an enormous risk?” “They thought I was like everyone else,” she replies quietly. “When the Blackthorn found me, I had recently escaped the hands of the Crimson Court. They had taken me and Rose a few years before and promised us immortality if we bent to their will. Rose was convinced it was better than living on the streets, so I stayed. I stayed for her.” She takes a deep breath and exhales. I stand frozen in place. I can’t move. Can’t breathe. I can only listen. She’s finally opening up to me, and all I can do is absorb every word while she continues. “The thing was… no one knew what I was. Not even me. The Crimson Court thought we were both huma
