MasukOnce again, it was Priscilla who stepped forward and delivered the news. I was left wondering again what exactly her role was. She was Miko’s sister, so of course she would be close to the inner circle, but why did she seem to be in charge of intelligence?She clearly wasn’t a warrior – so who was s
(Killian’s POV)Killian and Vee stood staring at Miko, who stood staring back.Vee sidled past Killian and slipped through the door, clearly not wanting to get involved.Miko smiled slyly at Killian, who, as soon as the door shut behind Vee, lunged. He boxed Miko’s ears, and Miko silently fought him
Samuel cracked his neck as he entered the circle of warriors, all of which took several steps back to give us room.Miko said nothing, but I caught his smile just before I turned my attention to Samuel. He was a big man, burly and scarred. He’d clearly been fighting all his life.But right now, he w
I was the first one up the next day, and I had to practically drag Riley out of her bed for us to make it to breakfast on time.Most folks were already seated and eating when we arrived – so we scurried to the line. Once again, I was shocked at the spread and the detailed efficiency of the Eclipse P

Harrison’s brow furrowed in confusion.Killian gestured to me. I waved delicately. “She’s my business partner, and the one you need to talk to about whether you have anything worth leveraging.”“What?!” Harrison’s voice was practically a shriek. He turned on me again. “You’re doing business with ano
I left Harrison spinning his wheels at the starting line, but he corrected and soon was on my tail. His car may have sounded like a kitten compared to Killian’s, but that didn’t mean it was slow.He wove back and forth behind me, trying to find an opening. There was none.
