Sofia The Midnight Lounge was Moonveil’s crown jewel—a place whispered about in glossy magazines and exclusive circles, but never openly advertised. A single black door stood on an unmarked street, guarded by a man in a sharp suit whose gaze assessed everything in a second flat. Once inside, the world shifted. Amber light spilled across polished marble, the ceilings lost in a haze of gold and shadow. The air hummed with low jazz and quiet power. Conversations were soft but deliberate, a hundred little games being played under the cover of music and laughter.

Midnight sensed her distress. Midnight runs to her door scratching at it. She starts to meow very loudly trying to get Quinn’s attention. He looks at the cat confused “What do you want? Can’t you tell she wants to be left alone?” He says, rolling his eyes, patting the couch next to him. Midnight meows loudly, continuously scratching at the door.

CHAPTER 27: THE MIDNIGHT RAID The master bedroom was bathed in the dull, silver twilight of four in the morning. Outside, the storm had finally subsided into a heavy, suffocating mist that hung over Lake Michigan like a shroud. Inside, the air was thick with heat, scent, and a quiet, agonizing tension.

New York never slept. Not really. At two in the morning, the streets still pulsed with yellow taxis, flashing billboards, and strangers chasing things they couldn’t name. Dreams. Money. Love. Revenge. Sometimes all four. Ava Sinclair stood outside Club Rouge with her arms folded tightly across her chest, trying not to freeze in the brutal December wind. Her best friend, Talia, was still inside dancing with some finance guy who wore too much cologne and talked like he owned Manhattan.

"Happy New Month, Adeline." My name in his mouth sounds differently tonight, softer than it has any right to sound with an ocean of noise surrounding us. I turn back toward the sky. Another burst climbs above the water and fractures into a hundred falling embers, and somewhere between the color and the thunder, the date settles into place. December first. My breath catches in my throat. Tonight was the sixth event. The contract ends at midnight, and midnight is here, unfolding above us in gold and red while neither of us says a word about what comes after.

Those who bear it are destined for each other, their souls matched perfectly. Such bonds appear only when the pack needs them most.”

All I can hear is a ticking clock, but I don’t know where it is coming from. “Midnight is coming,” a voice whispers. “Run while you can.” She asks if I can hear that, but I’m not sure what to tell her. “I can, but where is it coming from?

She had just finished her third job of the day, cleaning offices long after everyone else had gone home.
