Somewhere beneath the churning surface lay the second Vein—an ancient river of flame swallowed by the sea when the Crescent Wars tore the land apart. Behind her, the others waited: Kael in his wolf-forged armor, Lena with the relic map rolled beneath her arm, and Tarek sharpening his twin crescent blades.

Report back through shadow courier the moment you know.” “And if they are guilty?” Marina asked. “You poison Alpha Silvain. A slow-acting shadow venom. He dies within a week. You return to us as a hero.” Marina swallowed. “And if they are innocent?” Moonseer’s smile was thin and cruel. “Then you poison him anyway. Bloodfang’s strength is the only thing standing between us and total collapse. Their territory is rich in untainted land and game. We need it. Weakening their Alpha creates the opening we

Notes scrawled in Daniel’s sharp handwriting covered the margins: “offshore accounts, money laundering, eliminate loose ends.” ‎ ‎The blood in my veins turned to ice water. ‎

Why did he really kill that man? The more I think about how I ended up here, the less normal everything feels. I escaped one hell only to fall straight into another. It almost feels planned, like the sea itself dragged me into this psychopath’s hands just so my suffering would never end. “Because you are a good catch.” He laughs loudly, his voice echoing over the water like thunder.

Somewhere hot and dark where no one will hear me scream until I suffocate to death.
