I don’t care. I search around wildly for Luna Gwen. The whole hall is in chaos, lit with screams and blood. Darian is mid-shift and battling with one of the creatures too. He should be able to handle it. “Luna!” I mind-link her across the hall, but get no answer. She’s shielding. She wants to focus. I attack another null-born brutally with my fangs and it vanishes. They keep disappearing. How can one really kill them? “Xaden…” A broken familiar voice calls only for me to see Zolya caught mid-shift by the null-born. It strangles her to the wall, squeezing her throat together.

I let the darkness take me, yielding to the ruin he promised. I had nothing left to lose. Let him ruin me. I long to see what kind of darkness he intends to bring to my already wrecked life. CHAPTER 1 ~~MATTEO~~ I glanced around the restaurant, taking in every detail. The balloons were glued to the ceiling, the letter balloons spelling out “Happy Anniversary,” and th

And then this bitch broke my nose, I touched the bridge of my nose, wincing slightly as a fresh throb of pain shot through my face. I pulled over at the secure yard a few blocks away from the warehouse, stepping into the cool night air, I washed the blood from my face and stripped out my ruined shirt, staring into the cracked mirror of the locker room, I looked deep into my own eyes. Rowan Moretti had officially declared war, he had shot my brother,

the voice said. Then the image — Violet had blond hair now, cropped and precise; the red suit she wore cut into her as if the fabric were armor. Her eyes were thin knives.

The sports master encouraged the boys more. The second half began with the same tempo as the first half. The cards increased in the first half-hour of the game.
