Chapter 101: Of Gods and Vampires Jason Scott arrived without ceremony. He stepped into the room like a rumor that had finally decided to be true: unannounced, quietly certain, and carrying a presence that changed the angle of the light. The office around him smelled of polished wood and ambition—expensive enough to be impressive, small enough to feel intimate. Darius Welch and Alice Skye Meer, side by side, regarded him with the thin, professional interest people give to a figure who might be useful or dangerous. Neither of them smiled. Jason’s shoulders were broad and relaxed, as if the world’s weight had been tested on him and found wanting. He dressed like someone who didn’t need to shout authority—simple lines, muted color, and boots that looked like they’d walked through landscapes most men only read about. His eyes, though, had a temperature to them that made both Darius and Alice take note: bright, impatient, and old in a way that didn’t match the rest of him. Darius wa

Chapter 103: Smoke and Mirrors The first thing Nico noticed was how clean the aftermath looked. Too clean. The investigation had produced arrests, statements, and enough public noise to make it seem like the matter had been handled. Lower-level men were exposed. A few coordinators took the fall. One fixer in Los Angeles lost his freedom. The sort of people who moved money through shell routes and event logistics got dragged into daylight and asked questions they couldn’t answer without putting themselves in worse trouble. On paper, it looked like progress. In reality, it looked like a curtain had been drawn over the stage while the people who mattered most slipped out through the back. Nico stood in the common room with Seraphina, Ravenna, Liora, and Elara, staring at the board full of names and red thread connections. Seraphina’s expression was flat with disgust. “The top of the chain is missing.” Ravenna crossed her arms. “Missing how?” “Cleanly,” Seraphina said. “T

Chapter 105: The Shape of the TrapThe campus looked harmless in the morning.That was the lie of it.Sunlight spilled across the quad, students drifted between classes, and the fountains kept turning like nothing in the world had changed. But Nico had stopped believing in harmless places. Not after the ledger. Not after Jason. Not after learning how easily powerful people could make disaster look tidy.He stood beside Elara near the dorm steps, hands in his pockets, staring out at the movement below them.“You’re doing it again,” she said.He glanced at her. “Doing what?”“Looking like you expect the sky to drop.”He let out a short breath. “I’m trying to figure out which part of this is real.”Her gaze softened, but only a little. “That’s getting easier.”“Because we know more?”“Because we know who lied.”That landed.Nico looked away first. “I hate that Jason was able to make all of it look clean.”“So do I.”They stood there in the morning heat, the bond between them warm and st

Chapter 107: Close Proximity The first rule of a new bond was simple. No one pretended it was simple. Liora found that out within the hour. She had barely made it to the doorway before the pull between them tightened, subtle but unmistakable, the kind of force that made distance feel suddenly rude. She stopped, one hand braced against the frame, and looked back at Nico with a mixture of disbelief and irritation that would have been funny under different circumstances. “Oh, that is inconvenient,” she said. Ravenna, still in the common room, snorted into her coffee. “That’s one word for it.” Elara gave her a look. “Be nice.” “I am being nice.” “You’re enjoying this.” “I’m absolutely enjoying this.” Seraphina didn’t look up from her tablet. “Mathematically, the situation is escalating.” Nico closed his eyes for half a second. “Can we not make this sound worse than it already is?” Liora’s mouth twitched. “That depends. Am I allowed to leave the room or is this goi

Chapter 109: Routine with TeethBy Monday, campus life had resumed its usual shape.That was the strange part.Classes, assignments, hallway traffic, coffee runs, half-finished conversations outside lecture halls—it all kept moving like the world hadn’t just cracked open around Nico and the queens and then stitched itself back together with gold. The ordinary routines came with the same old noise, but now they carried a sharper edge. Everyone could feel it, even if they didn’t know why.Nico walked to class with Elara at his side, Liora a few paces behind, Ravenna arguing with Seraphina about something technical no one else understood. For once, the five of them moved through campus together in broad daylight, and the effect was immediate.Heads turned.Whispers started.Nico felt the attention like heat against his skin, but he kept his expression steady.Elara noticed. “You’re doing well.”He glanced at her. “I’m being stared at.”“Yes.”“That doesn’t feel like ‘well.’”“It is for n
