His entire life boiled down to these few seconds, in which either survival or death might claim him. And then the chapter must end in a cliffhanger. The user wants it to end. The conspirators’ footsteps closed in, edging dangerously near, and Tanya’s gaze snapped to the side, glimmering with the predatory light of a hunter who had caught the scent of her prey. Damien’s blood froze. He realized she was almost upon him, just one or two paces from revealing his hiding spot entirely.

Predators that were easily deceived didn't survive long during hunting season. I almost gasped as the monster jerked its head toward the mossy ground, from the path I had jumped onto the tree. "Shit", I thought. It's onto me. Its long sharp claw-like hands extended and dragged through the moss, scooping up a handful of dirt from underneath. It brought the dirt up to its muzzle, closed its eyes, and took a long deep sniff. Instantly, its eyes opened, and it let out a ferocious snarl. The beast turned its head and set its sights on the rooted area of the tree as it proceeded to trace a path to the first limb I had climbed upon. I could feel my face turn pale blue, as the terror spread througho

She nodded, and I didn’t miss the happy look she cast Niklaus. Fools they thought they were in control, but both I and Emerson knew, that we had them right where we wanted them. The rodents had taken the bait.

Mine. Table four was two truckers. Harmless. I refilled their mugs, dropped the check, and turned— The bell chimed again. The air changed. It was like someone opened a freezer door in the middle of the Mojave. The hairs on my arms stood up. The diner went quiet. Forks paused mid-air. Predator. My wolfless body didn’t have enhanced senses, but it remembered them. It remembered _him_. Don’t look. Don’t look. Don’t—

He stared at that window for several seconds waiting to see if anything else moved, but other than branches from the trees lining the road there was nothing. The limo jerked a little like someone opened the door. A silent minute passed. No other movement came. Right as he reached for his phone to discover what was going on, the limo started. A low breath left Mia’s parted lips. He realized in that moment that she’d been holding her breath the whole time, probably scared at what was happening. Maybe, they don’t know it’s a game. She looks genuinely scared for her life. His cars behind and in front turned their lights back on and we journeyed off several minutes behind schedule.

The bond pulsed again, sharper this time, almost like a scream, urging them forward but warning of the danger they couldn’t yet see. A figure darted between the trees, so fast that Eva barely caught a flicker of amber eyes. It moved with terrifying precision, not just stalking, but learning their patterns, predicting their reactions. Every instinct screamed to run, but the forest offered no safe path, only twisting shadows that threatened to close around them from all sides. Eva’s hand shook on her dagger, her knuckles whitening, yet she refused to look away, refused to show fear.

I could never compete with the malice twinkling in his eyes. ‘’Maybe I will find out when we meet Yama.’’ Before I had time to blink, I noticed the pulling of the trigger followed by a loud gunshot with my peripheral vision.

Cerebral tension coiled tighter, a noose of silk and steel. Harlan's knife scar itched, a brand of the game deepening. Quadruple f*e burned in my account already, wired mid-meeting. Truth files incoming, unredacted veins to mine. But Kenji's whisper echoed—dangerous things where I can see them. He saw me. All of me. And the predator's pool dragged deeper, heat pooling low despite the blood, his thumb's ghost on my jaw igniting forbidden fire. I pocketed the phone, Talia's gaze heavy. "Game's on, ladies. And I'm rewriting the board."

Judging by the weight and the sound, a five-foot male. I still walked ahead reading between the time frame, the direction and him trying to be stealthy. I should have ignored, pretended that he was another guy looking for something to shoot like I was but something was up and I felt it. South. North. West. And now east. Knew the tactic very well I might as well have said I implemented it. This was circling prey, the way predators did before they attacked. Trying not to give suspicion that I knew what he was fucking doing, my trigger finger landed on the shotgun.

It wasn't the usual alert, this was panic, a deep-chested warning that rolled through the air like thunder before a storm. My hand went straight to the gun at my hip as I turned from the hall.
