He was resplendent in his ceremonial attire, his eyes fixed on the horizon where the golden disc of the sun was being slowly, inexorably devoured by the encroaching moon. A collective gasp rippled through the crowd as the world plunged into an eerie, midday darkness. It was a premature night; stars blinked into existence, shivering in the sudden, biting cold. To the superstitious, it was a terrifying omen of divine displeasure, a harbinger of doom.

On the day the zombie outbreak occurs, I tell my boyfriend, Valerio Petrucci, to come over and hide in my apartment, where my front door is already reinforced. Soon, sounds of the door being knocked can be heard. I'm about to get up when transparent comment bubbles appear in front of my eyes. "Don't open the door! Valerio isn't the only one out there—there are a bunch of loan sharks with him as well!" "One of them is already infected with the zombie virus and is about to turn into a zombie!"

But here, in this world, all that remained to him was a lifetime of atonement. Ryder's wolf, and the man himself, would remain here forever, bound to an endless, eternal winter. The sea wind still wandered in from afar, carrying the briny breath of distant waters. Snow drifted ceaselessly, laying its white mantle over the lonely keeper of the grave.

Zane just renovates every decade.” “And Nocturne City?” I asked. “Neutral ground,” he said. “Both packs can stay or pass through it. Ours and Graywoods.” “Graywoods?” Lucien made a face. “Our lovely neighbors. Led by Alpha Dorian. Less classy, more bite. They don’t like Zane. Think he’s too cold. Too powerful.”

Her eyes were cold, an eerie calm taking over her. After Wallace's brief outburst, his eyes red, he approached Jane, knelt in front of her, and clasped his fists in salute. "Commander Frost, the Romenian people are despicable! They feigned peace talks before, only to delay our actions. Now they're back, and the Drakonas Squadron has been wiped out. I can't accept this!" Charlie was his sworn brother. Before leaving the northern borders, Charlie had promised to save him a bottle of good wine for when he returned.

Pulling him above the drowning level and allowing him to breathe air again. As Jimmy lifted his face, he saw the sunlight again, in the form of his little mate, who looked at him with his own tear-stained cheeks. Charlie looked at him with concern and love. Something he desperately needed! Charlie brought his hands to Jimmy's face and did something neither one of them had experienced yet. The air was once again taken from Jimmy. The air was sucked from his lungs in an instant, as Charlie leaned forward and pressed their lips together. Jimmy's eyes widen before slowly closing. Jimmy's hands go to Charlie's head and face as he pressed their lips together firmer.

Lara recalled the cluster of security men converging on the helipad, blurred glimpses of an incredibly large white villa, and heat that only increased the nonstop pounding behind her temples. Jet lag had finally caught up with her. A rueful grimace slanted her face as she gingerly slid out of bed to gratefully appreciate that the ground beneath her feet was no longer rocking. It was dark outside. Locating the bedside light, Lara glanced at her watch. “8 pm… Are you kidding me?” The housekeeper, at least Lara assumed the warm, matronly woman who had come to her assistance was the housekeeper, had been a merciful savior. She had taken charge, banishing Christophe and helping Lara to bed.
