Stay safe and remember you are your first priority!The high ceiling of the dining hall echoed with laughter, with firelight gilding along the table stacked with dishes Elara couldn't even name. The air was thick with wine, roasted meat, and smoke. She stood against the wall with the other servants, almost invisible in the dim lights.The huge marble statues of former Lycan Alphas in their shifted forms, lined above the servant heads, were as awe-inspiring to her as they were daunting. Everything about Duskbane's made her feel intimidated.“…And then Kaelen disappears for a week only to come back dragging the Rebel Com

She woke up tired, unaware when she had come to bed. She wordlessly prayed that yesterday was just a nightmare.The sting on her skin and the ringing phone beside her head told her it wasn't. Her eyes ached, every limb felt like heavy, as if exhaustion had settled into her bones.Her phone rang again and again.After a while, the door banged... till it stopped.Then it banged several times throughout the day. Sally and Lily shouted and threatened at the door. Their noise would wake her up, grating into her head till she would drift again. When it all fell silent, she woke up again feeling drained.Then stared blankly at the ceiling she had seen all her life. A tear slipped and disappeared in her hair, paving the way for several more. Her chest felt like it had splintered.The whole pack would be talking about it in hushed whispers. The humans would be clicking their tongues, lycans scoffing. She felt like she was naked for all to see.Tears gushed out, but she wiped them angrily, pr

He’s here. He’s come to finish it!“Elara!”Her head snapped up at Sally’s voice. The room spun as strong, cold fingers gripped her shoulders, shaking her back into focus.“What—” Elara croaked, blinking through her daze. “You were… at the door?”“Yes, what’s wrong with you? You weren’t answering the door! Then the balcony—” Sally lifted the broken lock guiltily. “I’m sorry, I panicked. I thought—” She stopped, eyes sweeping over Elara’s pale face, her shaking frame. “Elle… are you okay? Did you… Did you do something to yourself?”“What? No!”But Sally’s frown deepened. “You scared the life out of me. You weren’t answering your phone all night, then Lily told me you were here. I was pounding and pounding on the door, and when you didn’t answer—I thought—” Her voice softened, cracking. “Don’t you ever do that to me again. Not after what that bastard, Luke, did to you.”Elara’s lips parted, but the truth stuck like a blade in her throat.Sally hugged her suddenly, fierce and desperate.

With all the glass containers in the wide space, Luna Selene's walk-in closet could pass for a private gallery. Duskbane Estate itself was a collector's heaven, but this chamber felt curated to seduce the eye. Every wall was lined with velvet panels, gilded drawers, and glass domes housing pieces seen in magazines, auctioned at ridiculous prices.It was beauty displayed like power — and Luna Selene possessed both in excess. Sitting before a golden vanity, in her slate-gray evening gown, she seemed to be asserting the fact. She lifted a pair of earrings — platinum vines with teardrop rubies — and tilted her head as she fastened one, her eyes in a trance of her own reflection as her finger traced her neck, descending to her bare shoulder in awe.Behind her, Elara lingered in the doorway, her mind still warring over whether what she saw yesterday was a dream or something her dazed mind made up.“Come here.” Elara startled at the whisper.Luna’s aquamarine eyes met hers in the mirror, s
