I showered quickly, scrubbing away every trace of blood. Any forgotten spot would be a disaster. Lisa could never find out what I really was. I shrugged out of my shirt and poured myself a drink. The weight in my chest didn't ease. Killing never bothered me, but tonight, I don't want that darkness to touch her. Not on our first night.

“Sienna, don’t move,” Rowan hissed as he shoved her against the stone wall, his voice breaking under the weight of the flames tearing through the lower city. She tasted the smoke before she saw the fire, and the heat rolled over them in waves strong enough to blister stone. The sky above had turned a violent shade of crimson, the Moon Gate fracturing in the heavens like glass being punched from the inside. Every sound around her was a chorus of chaos, wolves howling in fear and rage, steel striking steel, buildings collapsing, children crying, warriors shouting orders that vanished into the storm of war. She pushed Rowan aside and stepped forward, her voice steady even though her pulse thund

It was already late in the afternoon and she still needs to call K for updates on the illegal trading the paramilitary caught in the capital city.

I jumped up in fright after reading that, what if I’m mutated and I get killed “I’m having none of this” I whispered “Dude really?” I heard Sebastian grumble. I then remembered that I was speaking to someone on the phone “Uhm, you were saying?” I asked in an apologetic tone

As the little bell on top of the door rang out a sweet tune, both Lani and Blake twisted around expecting another package but were instead faced with Jax' angered face. "Jax? What's wrong?" Lani asked. "The feds, they're here." "What?" Blake said with his face etched in confusion, "What'd they want now?" "They're here to snoop around, they know about the fire and they want to know what happened," Jax spoke in a bored tone. "What? The fire that happened nearly a month ago? I call bullshit," Blake laughed as he placed more paint in Lani's hair. She giggled shortly before returning her attention back to Jax, "He's right, there's nothing to investigate," Lani added.

This was no longer a city; it had become a battleground.

I grumbled annoyingly, pushing myself up from the couch and took out a cigar from its box and a lighter that was laid on the coffee table before I walked out to the balcony that was attached to my room, a glass of whiskey still in my hand. I took in the beautiful city view that was in front of me as I lit the brown stick and took a satisfying whiff from it and exhaled before reaching for my glass that I had placed on the balcony table and taking another gulp from it. I rarely smoked because I didn't like smoking but I wouldn't lie, it always felt good when I did.After finishing my smoke, I went back inside and threw myself on the couch. I propped my feet up on the coffee table that was in fr
