According to Hunter, Blake’s highly-ranked beta was murdered and he hasn’t brought down the law on the murderer yet. No one with the guts to injure one of my men who see the sunset, that I promised. *** “There you are!” Summer came from behind a tree. She was dressed in a long coat. It was too hot out for it but it made my imagination wonder what was underneath. “Why didn’t you tell me you didn’t want to go to the party?” She lifted a shoulder. She dug into her coat and pulled out a bottle of scotch. “I thought this would be more fun. Did I get your brand?”

"I can be Spider-Man and Batman? Best day ever!" He turned and bolted up the stairs two at a time, already lost in his own joy, completely unaware of the storm gathering beneath our roof. Alone in the hallway, my fingers drifted to the pendant resting against my collarbone, the one I had worn every single day for ten years.

She trudges to the closet, opens it and peruses through the clothes, The book is unsuspecting, nothing in it screams magic except for the usual symbols. Summer frowns at the book. If her mother had given her this book thinking that she would make use of it then she had been wrong. She is useless, even if she is a seer. She had never been a help to anyone.
