Woods said a quick, silent prayer, hoping that the big southern girl didn’t freeze her ass off on her way up to the Pearly Gates. Thirty simple seconds tick-tocked on by, and despite the electric crackle of expectancy in the air, Mama Metcalf remained well and truly dead. Even her blood had stopped flowing, ruby diamonds on a cigarette-butt strewn patch of land. The old woman across from her, Wanda Mabry, would also never move again. Her index finger was curved inwards as though still depressing an invisible trigger that shot invisible bullets of hatred at a sky that would never die. Sirens sung in the distance. When the hospice alarm was activated an automatic call out was prompted to the f

Slowly, I push myself to my feet and reach out, trying to feel my surroundings but the instant I stand, a small flicker of light appears several feet ahead. My breath catches. The tiny flame dances in the darkness like a lonely star qnd suddenly, my suspicion is confirmed. I'm dead. This is the path, the path every wolf hears about but never truly believes exists, the path the dead walk before judgment. A bitter laugh threatens to leave my lips, but it never comes, so this is how it ends, no grand life, great love story or future, or even second chance, I don't even get the opportunity to do everything I once dreamed of.

Maya’s world narrows to Sam on the floor and the mask beside him and the sudden, hateful understanding that good systems still have gaps wide enough for bullets. Eli fires. The overwatch goes silent. Marcus moves through the smoke like he can see the shape of breath itself. His people follow, not fast exactly. Coordinated. Brutal. The roof team breaks when the dead reach the street below and their exit stops being an exit. By 03:31, it is over. The bus depot survivors run north with the dead behind them. The base holds. That is the fact. The cost is on the floor. Debrief happens at first light because grief does not cancel administration, which is one of civilization’s less charming design f

The ones who lived like animals in heat. A small, dark part of me wondered if dying at their hands would be any worse than the slow death I already lived.I entered my tiny, windowless room, closed the door, and sat on the thin mattress. Tomorrow, I would be given to the wolves. And no one would mourn me. ……………………… The following morning came too quickly, like a blade pressed against my throat.

Crystal clear. “Bullshit you didn’t.” Wolf nodded at Kansas. “Find me a wheelchair and a blanket. We’re takin’ out the trash in a few minutes. Makin’ it look like a sleeping patient…but he won’t be sleepin’.” “No,” Dawson gasped as he understood that he was going to die right there in that room, in a circle of men who he’d once have died for, who’d have died for him in return. “Wolf… no. I didn’t –”

She asked, taking one of my hands in hers. “No, we didn’t. Uh, I just… uh… I just woke up feeling down, and you know.” I lied. Well, it was a partial lie. I woke feeling down because I didn’t really want to drink human blood, but it had smelled so sweet, and the monster in me was battling to accept Derek’s justification. Truly, we couldn’t possibly kill anyone. They’d all be fine, even after drinking out of them. “Aww. You woke on the wrong side of the bed, didn’t you? Well, bookworm. I have just the right book for you. You’ll get sucked in it!” She said, with excitement, and reached into her bag.

I whispered. A fresh wave of nausea hit, memories pushing like claws against the walls of my mind, shadows of a past life I had spent years trying to understand. This book...This book was the answer. This was the ritual Darren used to kill me, to kill my baby, to take power for himself.

My heart skipped. I moved closer, scanning the titles until one name leapt out at me like a struck nerve. Dead Viles… The moment I read it, my stomach twisted to nausea. I pulled the text free and opened it, my fingers trembling despite myself. Unlike Lunareeth, this book was filled with dense writing, diagrams etched in faded ink, and warning seals pressed into the margins. Dead Viles. A deadly, ancient poison. I started reading about it, and the more I read, the more my heart shuddered with a cold chill…

My mother greeted us with obvious worry when we finally arrived home, quickly ushering me toward much-needed rest despite my own protests about needing to remain actively involved. Sleep proved elusive despite my genuine exhaustion, my mind continuing to churn through everything we had learned throughout this devastating evening. Diane’s unexpected warning, the theft of the founding book, this mysterious Cole Ashworth apparently working to accomplish destructive goals that extended far beyond simple leadership disputes. I finally drifted into restless sleep sometime near dawn, though my rest proved brief and unsatisfying, disturbed dreams filled with fragmented images of ancient magic and de

Standing in the wind, he looked disheveled and broken, as if he'd aged a decade overnight. Meanwhile, in the Shaw Mansion, Kimberly was happily tending to the flowers that Elmer had meticulously cultivated.
