I stood frozen, my eyes narrowing as Elizabeth’s words cut through the night air sharper than any blade.“Come again?” I asked, my voice low.“You heard me,” she said, her tone cold despite the tremor in her voice.For a moment, the world stilled around us. The smell of burning rubber and blood lingered in the air, the wreck groaning where it leaned against the tree. Somewhere in the distance, an owl hooted, oblivious to the storm rising here.“You know what I am?” I pressed, unable to hide the surprise in my voice.Her throat bobbed as she swallowed, her eyes refusing to meet mine. “I’ve encountered your kind before. You only bring me bad luck and misery.”I stepped toward her without thinking, but she flinched asstopping me in my tracks. She was afraid of me.“Please,” she whispered, her voice cracking between exhaustion and fear. “Just leave me alone. Is this some sick joke from Alex?”That name stopped me cold. My head tilted. “Alex?”“Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talkin

I woke with a start, my head pressed against the side of the car door. Pain shot through me, and I realized I couldn’t move. The door beside me was jammed against the tree. My hands scrabbled uselessly at the door, panic surged and my heart raced like a drum.Outside, the night was alive with growls and the metallic sound of heavy blows and something tearing flesh. I pressed myself closer to the door, trying to shrink into the seat.Then I saw him. Lucien.He was facing two people, I couldn't see who they were but his stance was low, eyes locked onto them with his back to me.Every movement he made was deliberate and calculated like a seasoned fighter and I could see the tension in his shoulders. But who was he fighting and why but that's when I noticed their glowing red eyes and the unnaturally long teeth they had.VampiresDeja vu hit me hard. The way he moved, the way the vampires circled him, it reminded me of the night Alex had fought William. I had buried that memory, but it

The male vampire stepped forward, his grin widening, fangs glinting under the moonlight. “Then we take her.”I shifted my stance, putting myself directly between them and the wrecked car where Elizabeth still lay slumped.My wolf clawed at the inside of my chest, snarling, demanding release. Every instinct screamed at me to tear them apart, to shred their smug faces until they were nothing but ash. But the moment I lost control, if Elizabeth saw what I truly was, everything would change.“Try it,” I said, my voice low, steady, but every muscle coiled and ready to strike.The female tilted her head, studying me like a predator sizing up prey. “You reek of restraint, Prince. How curious, one would almost think you’re hiding something.”I ignored her taunt, keeping my eyes on the male as he moved closer, step by deliberate step. I could hear Elizabeth stir faintly behind me, a small groan escaping her lips. My heart lurched. If she woke and saw this, saw me, it would all be over. But if

Elizabeth’s hand rested lightly on the edge of the seat, the warmth from our dinner still lingering between us, but my mind was elsewhere. I was lost in thought, trying to piece together the events of the night, why tonight of all nights, everything had gone wrong. My guards, who never left her side, had vanished. Taken out first, which meant I had been the target and Elizabeth by being with me, was now in danger too.I tried to push down the surge of panic, the wolf in my chest snarling at the very idea of harm coming to her. My grip on the wheel tightened until my knuckles whitened. Every muscle in my body wanted to lunge, attack, tear through anything that threatened her. But I had to remain calm. I had to project composure. She was beside me, unaware, or trying to act like it,but I could hear her heartbeat as loud as a drum. She was scared and rightfully so. Her nerves were frayed. She was scared, and that made me feel exposed, vulnerable in a way I hadn’t felt in decades.“P

Elizabeth’s smile lingered on my chest long after the dinner plates were cleared. It was the kind of smile that could soothe even the sharpest edges of my soul, the sort of warmth my wolf always clawed toward, no matter how many times I forced him back.Dinner had been simple, wine, laughter, little stories traded like secrets, but it hadn’t felt ordinary. There had been a weight in the air, a hum beneath the surface, as though the night itself knew something was coming.Usually, by now, my guards would have taken over like they always did. Elizabeth never knew about them, how they shadowed her from a distance, how I made sure nothing touched her once she walked away from me. She thought the night ended at the restaurant doors but for me it continued in the silence of certainty, in knowing she was safe.But tonight, I couldn’t sense them,not one of them seemed to be close.The absence gnawed at me as we stepped outside. The street beyond the restaurant was too still, the kind of sti

Elizabeth stepped into the restaurant, and for a second, the whole room seemed to tilt in her direction. Maybe it was just me, but I swear the air shifted the moment she walked in.My chest tightened in the familiar way it always did when I saw her.God, how is it possible she looks even more beautiful than the last time? Eight months we’ve been doing this, and instead of her glow fading, it only grows sharper, brighter, like she’s some secret I haven’t figured out yet.I stood immediately, pushing back my chair. She spotted me as she was escorted by one of the staff, and on her face that smile warm and lovely hit me like a blow to the gut. I never thought I’d envy light, but I did. Because every time she smiles, it feels like she gives it away too freely, and I want it only for myself.“Lucien,” she said softly, her voice carrying over the clatter of cutlery and murmur of conversations.“Elizabeth,” I replied, and I leaned in just enough so that when we exchanged our greetings, I co
