I replied calmly, "Got it." Darren paused, clearly caught off guard. Then, he found his words again. "The eighteenth of next month is a day blessed by the Moon Goddess. That's the day for our big ceremony." There was an unusual softness in his voice, something I had not heard from him before. Before I could even respond, a sultry moan crackled through the phone. It was Betty. They were together, even as he talked to me. A dull ache spread through the wolf inside me. With the pain, tears started to spill over.

Mina had jokingly given the ship a name since its previous name was just a bunch of numbers. "You guys may want to find some cover." Vosten turned to look at her. "Why is that agent?" Carmen smiled. "Because the heat is about to get turned up in here and doubt that you elites could handle it." As she finished, she charged at the company of soldiers standing in front of the doors. She somersaulted over a large desk and drew her pistols and began to fire. Just as she opened fire on the soldiers several medium sized grenades broke through the glass doors and landed in front of the soldiers. Carmen sprayed plasma fire all around in every direction. Multiple soldiers went down and the grenades ex

When I think back to it, the words I said back then just make the sting of being wrong even sharper today. I pulled up to Thomas's big house pretty quickly, and the butler and a bunch of servants were already waiting by the door. They looked really surprised when I got out of the car. "Ms. Canfield, we're here to carry your bags. Where are they?" they asked. I just said, "They're all gone. Burned to crisp." Then I looked straight into Thomas's deep, dark eyes. He smirked a little and said with an icy laugh, "You were so sure Eric would never do anything wrong. What do you have to say now?"

Then another tree moved. Then another. The forest itself was opening. A hidden path appeared where none had existed before. At the end of the path stood a massive stone gate nearly forty feet high. Its surface was covered with frost. At its center was an empty keyhole shaped exactly like Adrian's brass key. Above the gate, ancient letters slowly glowed with blue light. Adrian read them aloud. "Only the one who carries the First Light may enter." Before anyone could move... A child laughed. Soft.

Jonah sent a single thumbs up emoji that made my chest ache. I should call them. I will. Just not right now. The car slows and I look up. There’s a gate ahead, tall and iron and imposing, the kind that makes it very clear you’re not supposed to be here unless someone specifically invites you. Stone pillars on either side with the name ‘Petrova’ carved into them in elegant letters. The gate starts to open before we even reach it, sliding apart smooth and silent like it knows we’re coming. We drive through and the road changes from asphalt to gravel, the sound of it crunching under the tires filling the quiet car.

The armored SUV didn't slow down for the perimeter checkpoint. Silas’s driver slammed the reinforced grill of the truck directly through our own iron gates, tearing the metal off its hinges. The Steele Estate was a graveyard. No , really, it felt like one. Dozens of elite Lycan guards—guys I had watched that morning laughing and running drills—lay sprawled across the snow covered lawn.

POV EMMA BELLE The main entrance to Sun-Spire was the Apollo Gate, a massive archway carved from solid white stone and reinforced with enchanted iron. Normally, the gates stood open to welcome trade, but today, they were slammed shut. Two full legions of Council Peacekeepers stood atop the battlements, their silver crossbows aimed squarely at our front line.

I’m still here. When the iron gates of The Gables finally loomed out of the pre-dawn gloom, they felt less like a refuge and more like a decompression chamber. Sabatine keyed in the code, and the gates swung open silently. He parked the car not at the front portico, but around the back, near the old stables, out of sight from any unlikely prying eyes. The manor was dark but for a single, golden square of light from the library window on the ground floor. Jessica.

Streetlights were beginning to illuminate sidewalks littered with trash and weeds coming through the cracks. Rei pulled up to a gate. Appearing above the fence under a dusk sky, I saw multiple large buildings and a ship, its paint chipped and sails down. After entering a code, Rei drove us through the gate. I turned, watching it close behind us. Rei continued through a large garage door and into one of the buildings. Through the darkness, he drove us to the far end where there were probably ten to fifteen other vehicles of all different makes and varying ages. “Stay by me,” he said before turning off the car.

Its intelligent sensors could detect the approach of vehicles, pedestrians, or any potential intruders, responding with swift precision to ensure the utmost security. The gate was normally open around the time that Rose had gotten home, but tonight it appeared to be closed on purpose, a purposeful change from that position.
