Noah lay there in the dark, Marcus’s arm heavy across his chest like he was scared to let go even for a second. The safe house was too quiet. The kind of quiet that makes your ears ring. Noah’s skin still felt sticky from sweat and everything they’d done, but his mind wouldn’t shut up. The belt collar was back around his neck. He’d put it on himself after the heat faded, because it made him feel like he belonged to someone real. Marcus’s someone. Not some prophecy. Not some throne.But now the leather was turning mean now.It started as a warm spot, nothing big. Noah shifted a little, trying not to wake Marcus. His wolf was already pacing inside his ribs, claws dragging slow across bone. The moon outside pulled at him even through the roof. He could feel it in his blood, thick and wild, like it wanted him to run and never stop. That was the worst part of being half vampire, half wolf. The human CEO life had been a lie that fit too tight. This power waking up felt like freedom and a

The noise from the sky was so loud it made Noah’s teeth hurt.The thick trees shook wildly as the huge black helicopter hovered right above them. The giant blades kicked up a massive storm of dead leaves. The wind whipped across Noah’s bare skin. He squinted through his burning tears.Men were dropping out of the sky.They came down thick black ropes, hitting the ground with heavy thuds. They wore thick black armor from head to toe. They carried big, scary guns. The bright white searchlight from the helicopter shined on them, making them look like dark monsters coming to clear out the woods.Marcus did not wait. He did not freeze. His cold gray eyes darted around the clearing and locked onto a massive, dead oak tree that had fallen over a long time ago. The trunk was huge, and there was a small, dark hole right underneath it.“Get down! Stay there!” Marcus yelled. His voice cut right through the loud noise of the helicopter.Before Noah could even nod, Marcus grabbed him hard by

Getting Marcus out of that wood was a nightmare. He was bleeding everywhere, his shirt ruined and sticking to his skin, but I didn’t care. I just kept him on his feet, my arm hooked tight under his armpit, half-carrying him until we found my car hidden near the road. The drive to the building was silent. Every time I looked over at him, he was getting paler, and my heart felt like it was going to stop. I needed to get him to the only place that felt like home, the only place where I knew we were safe: Vale Enterprises.************I don’t even remember getting him up to the top floor. We must have looked like a mess, but the security team knew not to ask questions when they saw my face. We got into my office, and I kicked the door shut behind us. and for the first time in twenty-four hours, I could breathe.But as soon as the door shut, the adrenaline left me, and everything else came crashing down. Ethan was in the hospital, my life was basically a war zone, and I felt like I was lo

The broken plastic from the remote control cut into my palm, but I didn’t feel any pain. I dropped the shattered pieces on the floor. Richard stared at the mess by his shoes. His chest was rising and falling rapidly. He lifted the man right off the floor and threw him. I watched the heavy body fly across the room. He crashed right through the glass partition walls of my office. The thick glass shattered into a million tiny, shiny pieces. The loud crash shook the floor beneath my boots.Marcus spun around to face the next guy. His gray eyes glowed brightly. He ducked under a rifle barrel and drove his elbow hard into another man’s chest. The man doubled over, coughing and gasping for air. Marcus picked him up and threw him through another glass wall, just like the first one. It was a complete mess of flying glass, broken bones, and terrified shouts. The highly trained mercenaries were falling apart in seconds. They couldn’t fight back at all. Marcus way too fast. He was breaking them

The shadowy figure lingered for a few more seconds, gazing at us with those eerie silver eyes. One last thing from the Elders, he said, voice cold as hell. “Marcus, you broke the blood decree. The order was told you to kill the hybrid, not to sleep with him and bind your life to his. Now you’re marked. Death is coming for both of you, and it won’t be quick. ************* Marcus didn’t back down. He simply looked the man straight in the eye. “I made my choice. Tell them to shove it.” The messenger let out a short laugh. “They’re wiping out Vale Enterprises. Everything your fake dad built burns tonight.” Then he turned into smoke and vanished. I turned to Marcus, my heart racing so badly. So they really want us gone that badly? He pulled me tight against him, arms solid around me. “We fight. I don’t regret picking you. Not ever.” Right then, the office lights flickered and went out completely. The entire city outside turned black too—no building lights, no street lamps, no
