The abandoned warehouse loomed over the edge of the industrial zone, its broken windows staring blankly into darkness. It seemed, from the outside, like all the other abandoned buildings in this part of the city. But far below its concrete pillars, in the rooms that existed inside the warehouse, something ancient stirred.Thirteen figures knelt in a perfect circle on the cold stone floor. Their black robes rustled silently in the night air as they stood with heads bowed in reverence. The candles cast pools of flickering light around the room, the flame dancing even in the absence of wind.

His amber eyes burned with fury and pain and the mate bond between us hummed beneath my skin, alive and begging, yearning to be sealed."Start talking," he growled. "You have five minutes."My throat tightened. How can I make him believe in something I could barely comprehend myself? I could lie, come up with something more reasonable. But if I couldn't be honest with my own partner, what hope did we have?So, I chose the truth."Four years from now, you and I have twin babies named Mira and Kai." The words came out faster than I intended. "The evening of their third day, my husband murdered me in a dungeon while trying to sacrifice our babies for a dark ritual."Kael's face twisted in revulsion. "Are you making fun of me? Is this some kind of sick—""I'm not!" Tears streamed down my face. "I know it's insane, but just listen. In my own tim
