It had only been two nights, but already the place felt less like a hideout and more like a slow, sprawling trap. His phone had two bars, barely.

The darkness spreads… And now we finally have hope.”

Isabelle looked between them. “You do that… and you won’t just be hunted,” she whispered. “You’ll start a war.” Arielle lifted the confession from the lockbox. “Then let the war begin.”

There will be more. Return the female and the heir she carries. Or the next box holds something you love. -RT The hall exploded in rage.

"Then we give him war."Kai's hand found Elara's, squeezing tight. The pack was ready. Ronan had drawn first blood. Now they would answer in kind.
