DAMIEN

“We have to hit Yorkville on First Avenue. That old geezer in there did not pay last month’s kickback. He owes a thousand. Drake, you have Park Avenue, The Franklin Hotel.

The owner’s name is Franco. He already paid. Just collect the invoice from him.”

I read from the crumpled run sheet Gareth gives me at the start of every month. The paper is soft at the creases and smells faintly of smoke. We have just arrived in New York and I can feel the storm about to roll in. My heart is poundin

    SKYHow? How can I lift Damien’s bike into the air? I need to find out why I can do the things I can. My emotions seem to be the trigger. I was so angry with Damien that, without even touching it, I made his bike rise off the ground with my mind.The whole wind-control thing, though, still needs work. As I walk away, I think about asking Kiana to help me train. She’s the only one I trust enough to explore whatever is happening to me.I stomp off from Damien, my chest tight. He dropped me just like everyone else always does. I shouldn’t care, but I do. Maybe it’s my fault for expecting more from someone like him. Damien Rock isn’t exactly boyfriend material.I have class, but I can’t focus, my thoughts bouncing around like loose marbles. So instead, I head to the cafeteria, grab a drink, and sit under the big oak tree outside. That’s where I make the call.Lucien Silver has the answers. He can’t hide the truth from me anymore. I’m his daughter, and once upon a time, whether he admits i

    DAMIEN “Would it have made any difference?” I ask her, my voice calm even though my mind isn’t.“Probably not,” Sky says softly. “I like your wolf; it’s kind of cute. But if your pack comes back here with your crew, they’ll die, you know that, right? They’re a bunch of wimps. Why is Lamen after you anyway? You don’t have very loyal pack mates.”Her lip curls, not in anger but in something almost sweet. I shouldn’t enjoy her attitude as much as I do, but I do. The sight of her glaring at me makes me want to pull her close and silence her in a way I shouldn’t.“He rejected me,” she says suddenly, her voice cracking. “I’m his mate. He’s been tracking me since I got here—trying to kill me. Long story.”I shake my head. “He’s a lousy guy all around. He can’t even fight. You can tell him that from me. Maybe you should stay away from me until he learns how. Doesn’t look too good for us to be seen together, does it?”Truth is, I’ve got no plans to stay away from her. But teasing her? That I

    DAMIEN A Silver Moon Hunter. And a damn gorgeous one too—undercover, no less. I should’ve known better than to touch her. I’ve never been good with women, not after what happens to them when they get too close. What happened to Jacinta wasn’t my fault. She got too curious, digging into things she shouldn’t have.I ride back home after the fight, my face still stinging from the blows. My head is buzzing with questions, too many to count.Why would a Silver Moon Hunter turn against her own pack? Was that the same man she was running from the week before? And that necklace she wears—bright and glowing like moonlight—it’s not normal. There’s power in it. I saw two wolves hesitate to attack her because of it. That thing could stop a full pack in their tracks.I’m still furious, but my body betrays me, burning hot from what almost happened against that wall. I kill the engine of my bike and just sit there for a moment, frustrated that I didn’t take it further.My fingers still smell like h

    SKYI touch it gently before slipping it back under my shirt — my little talisman, my reminder of who I am. I pull on my pants and a clean shirt, my thoughts racing. I can’t keep hiding. I have to confront him.My mind runs through every possible scenario. I could call campus security, but what good would that do? Lamen and his pack would destroy them before they even arrived. Everyone knows they’re useless anyway. No, this is something I have to handle myself.“Sky! Come out here!” His voice cuts through the night like a blade. “Did you think I wouldn’t find you, mate? Risen from the dead, huh? I don’t think so.”His mocking tone sends a chill down my spine. I wince, praying the rest of the dorm doesn’t wake up and report me. The last thing I need is to get kicked out. I have to draw him away from the building before things get ugly.I slip out into the cool starlit night, moving fast and silent, drawing him toward the courtyard where it’s darker, more secluded. “What are you doing h

    SKY“Damien Rock, his father, is bad news. I think he’s some kind of enforcer, but I’m not completely sure. I’ll have to confirm it,” Kiana says, her tone sharp as she stabs her salad with her fork.“The rest of Damien’s crew never show up for class. I see him walking into the Dean’s office all the time, acting like he owns the place. He even spray-painted all of D Block last semester. His father owns a lot of property in New York. I can’t believe you don’t know this. You really need to do your research, girl. These college boys are trouble.”I roll my eyes, scooping up frosting from my carrot cake. “Research? This isn’t the FBI, Kiana. I just went on one date with him. It’s not that serious.”Kiana raises an eyebrow. “You wanna bet?”I sigh and push my fork through the cake again before eating a bite. “I hate hearing that, honestly. I already have enough heartache to deal with because of Lamen. He’s still attached to my energy, and I want him out of my life. The only way to do that

    SKY I drift through the rest of the day in a daze after Damien drops me off. I know I probably shouldn’t have given him my new number, but I did it anyway. He makes me forget things I’d rather not think about, even though Lamen still lingers in my energy like a dark echo.Later in the day, I’m supposed to meet Kiana in the cafeteria. As soon as my business administration class ends, I burst through the door and rush to our usual table by the big window that catches the afternoon light. Kiana’s already there, sipping her latte like she has all the time in the world. She doesn’t know anything about my unexpected, crazy date with Damien.I move so fast that I nearly knock over her teal mug. She grips it tightly, laughing. “What are you doing, woman? You’re acting like you’ve had ten cups of caffeine already! I was just about to order a coffee for you, but I figured I’d wait.”I bump the table again in my excitement and quickly tuck my hair behind my ear. “Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry! I hav
