“The darkness seems to be affecting you differently. You’re a Shadow, now.” “I’m a WHAT?” She gaped. “Shit. Now I’ll have no choice but to train you. Ronin is going to explode if he finds out his mate's a damned shadow.” “You say that as if being a shadow is a bad thing.” Liora huffed, narrowing her eyes. “The power of a Shadow requires you to dance with darkness. To seduce it and bend it to your will… Make it–” “Yield?” She asked quietly, suddenly becoming acutely aware of how close they were. He was shirtless again. Dressed in nothing but black sweatpants.

Dana sat next to Lynda as she watched the people on the dance floor. “Don’t you think Shadow and Ruby make a great pair?” Dana asked Ben as she looked at the dancing pair. “Um” Ben and Bryan nodded at the same time. Slowly, Ed and Frank teams swaggered to the table. “Wow… that was incredible.” Lara laughed as she sat down.

Her outfit was already here. Brand new. Practically waiting for me. Now, though, coincidence feels like a lie I tell myself. I look toward the shadowed booth. Storm-grey eyes catch mine instantly, sharp and unblinking. The kind of gaze that doesn’t look away first.

With people threatening to leave, Shane had to suck it up and make a call. "Well, looks like we're not waiting for Lily. "Let's get this party started." The moment he said that, the lights in the hall cut out, throwing us all into pitch black. A second later, the LED screen at the back blazed to life. As grumbles filled the air, a video flashed onto the screen. It showed Shane and Joanna, caught in a compromising moment right beside my hospital bed. The crowd gasped in shock. Shane's face went ashen, and he shouted at the tech crew, "Who dared to play that video? Take it down now!"

He sends me a photo of our victim, one he received from Emory. We stop in the street in front of the bar. As Sanchez climbs out of the car, she zips her black puffer jacket halfway up and places her hands in the pockets. I lead the way toward the big black door and the neon sign that says 'Cheers and Beers'. Once opened, I gesture for her to enter.

Lights flash across the dance floor in jagged bursts, blue, red, white, like lightning caught in a bottle. I lean against a dark corner column, half-shrouded in shadow, my arms crossed as I track her through the crowd. Aria.

First, it was the loss of the package, then it's been a main suspect in a man's death, not just any man, a member of the Wolfe family, and now I have to dance in front of the dead man and his lunatic stepbrother. Squaring my shoulders and refusing to give him the satisfaction of seeing me scared, I moved over to the music player to play a tune, then downed the whole alcohol from Marcus’ bottle. I am glad the bottle wasn't destroyed during our scrabble. I moved my body deftly to the sound of the music, allowing it to control my movements.

Smiling, she said in a light tone, "Sorry to interrupt, Eleanor. I'm hosting today's warrior celebration with Andrew, so I thought I'd just come over." My gaze fell on her hand, where I saw a familiar set of keys. The keychain looked exactly like mine. Andrew seemed to notice the shift in my mood and quickly leaned in to explain in a low voice, "Daisy is our best friend. It's normal for her to have a key to our house." I didn't say anything. I was about to leave when Andrew insisted on dragging me to the event. The square was lit with a bonfire, and the air filled with the scent of grilled meat and alcohol.
