And yet, there he was, holding her like she was something sacred. I exhaled sharply, forcing my attention back to the present. The long mahogany conference table in front of me was scattered with blueprints, financial reports, and encrypted files. This was what mattered now—this mission, this team, this purpose. Evangeline tapped a folder against the table. “Alright, so we have the infrastructure set. Nightfall Ops officially launches next month.” “Nightfall Ops?” I arched a brow. “We landed on that?” Lilianna smirked from her seat, “It’s mysterious, sexy, and ominous. Just like you.”

“You’re seeing them.” “All three. Lunar Mirror is already taking updated lethal coordinates. Polar Watch has the regional grid under continuous refinement—our last desync holes are closing. Nightfall Array is eleven percent into activation. Kinetic rods will be available before the full pathogen-dispersal packages. The residual trail is being painted for every platform at once.”

bump into me, his eyes full of a wretched, hopeful longing. Kaelan’s irritation was a palpable, icy force. He became my constant shadow, his presence a silent threat. His eyes, when they fell on Marcus, promised a violence that was slow and creative. Then came the Nightfall Gala. A lavish, political event under the great crystal-domed hall of the Citadel, lit by a thousand black candles. Vampires of high clan and their human associates mingled, the air rich with the scent of blood-wine and ambition. I was on Kaelan’s arm, wearing a gown of midnight silk.

“And then revisit this tomorrow. From where I stand, it’s over. You ripped that thing in half and all the rats are dead.” “I still feel like there’s something evil in there.” “There probably is,” Nicole tells me. “The energy of whatever kind of demon that was. It’ll taint the earth for a while, you know.” “And no one is getting in there.” Kristy sounds sure of herself only because she wants to believe it. “No one would have with the hellhounds, but I killed them. I think.” “You ripped it in half and then it turned into dead rats.” Lucas shrugs. “Seems pretty dead to me.”

She pauses, I hear her take a deep breath, and I know whatever she says next, I’m not going to like it. “For just a second, I thought the galaxy stood a chance,” she says, and I hear her voice sink. “But I got word this morning, that four days ago, a young boy leveled four buildings when Dominion soldiers tried to take him and his family to the mines on Korpillion. The Neron blast killed three thousand people, and it was a complete accident.” No. No. My stomach sinks. My hands actually shake and moisture instantly pools in my eyes. “Another Nero child has been found, on Korpillion,” Arden says. “And he was immediately taken by Dominion to Cyrillius.”

His voice was a clinical flatline, but the scent of sea salt in the air had turned into a suffocating, briny storm. “We aren’t dying for a goddamn ghost story, Alpha,” Miller spat. His finger twitched on the trigger. Behind him, two other Nightfall commandos shifted their weight, their boots crunching through the ash-choking bitterness of the debris. “The Council is five minutes from glassing this entire grid. I’m taking the boy to the extraction point. Whoever wants to see New York again—move.” One commando didn't just move; he turned his back and vanished into the indigo fog of the exit. The defection was a physical amputation. We were being hollowed out from the inside.

The horn’s cry split the air like the scream of a dying god. Cole’s heartbeat thundered in his ears as the Bloodthorn fortress came alive with chaos—boots striking stone, wolves snarling in the halls, the metallic scent of weapons and fear thickening the night. From his window, he saw fires bloom along the outer wall, painting the rain-soaked forest in shades of red and gold. The Nightshade Pack had come for war. Lila stood frozen by the bed, rain still dripping from her cloak, her mind spinning. Her brother. Her pack. The same people she’d once called family—now spilling blood for her mistake.

Together, we would do whatever it took to keep our family safe. Just then, Nathan, the rejected alpha of the Nightfall pack, stepped forward, his expression serious. "I have a proposal," he said, his voice steady. "We need to launch a counteroffensive. If we strike first, we can catch the vampire king off guard and show him that we will not be intimidated." I exchanged a glance with Selene, and I could see the surprise in her eyes. Nathan had once been her mate, before he betrayed her and cast her out. But now, he stood with us, offering his help in our time of need.

Nathan, Lucas, and Julian tore through the industrial wasteland of the lower Havenfall docks, the neon lights of the city flickering off the hoods of their blacked-out sedans. They weren't shifting into wolves; they were shifting gears. This was a different kind of hunt. They were sixteen, fueled by adrenaline and the reckless arrogance of heirs to the Cocolink throne, chasing a rival courier’s bike that had strayed into their territory.

I rushed back into our pack house, which was a large farming estate around fourty members of our pack lived here and the rest chose to reside amongst the humans only using the pack house as our meeting place during the full moon. Two of my cousins were in the living room with my beta and a couple other close friends. "Care to tell us where you've been Ben?" My cousin Tyler smirked, Zach my beta gave me a knowing look and shook his head. Ignoring my cousin, I turned to Grayson my third in command and gave him the paper. "I need a favour." There was a slightly worried look in my eyes.
