“What are you implying, Vance?” “I am implying that we shall use the old ways,” Vance sneered, waving his hand toward the center of the ballroom floor. Four royal guards immediately stepped forward, carrying a heavy, velvet-lined pedestal. Resting on top of it was a jagged, fist-sized crystal that pulsed with a faint, eerie luminescence. The moment I saw it, my inner wolf let out a sharp, terrified whine.

They swarmed over the stone parapets, their featureless faces turned toward the central plate, their jagged limbs extended to reclaim the stolen artifacts and erase the intruders who dared to reset the grid. Anaya did not hesitate. She stepped onto the spinning brass tracks of the plate, the kinetic vibration traveling up through her boots, threatening to throw her off balance. She reached into her coat pocket and pulled out the small glass vial. Inside, the shimmering grey ash was no longer moving in a gentle vortex; it was slamming against the glass walls, emitting a high-pitched, metallic whine that resonated with the turning gears in the church tower above. "Anaya, do it now!" Vikram scr

The weapon was primed. In less than twenty hours, we would walk into the Glass Pavilion and begin the final, terminal execution of our war. Garrison Vance had no idea who he was dealing with. He thought he was playing against a machine and a victim. He was about to find out that he was playing against a team that couldn't be broken, couldn't be bought, and couldn't be stopped. I went back to the vanity, my mind racing with final adjustments. I added one last, delicate touch of metallic gold to the inner corners of my eyes—a small, subtle, and entirely lethal detail that would catch the light just right when the flashbulbs began to pop.

SMS: No longer the third and forth wheels! Poor Vasha squinted at it after translating the message, and asked me what wheels had to do with Brody. I cleared up the confusion, and her moss green eyes lit up with excitement for our friends. At least she never got tired of us laughing at her every once in a while.

A delivery van was passing at the far end of the street, and somewhere behind her Jack barked again. Zoya slipped the envelope under her arm and turned back toward the house. The scar on her wrist caught the morning light. It had faded to a thin silver line now, the way old injuries did after everyone else stopped remembering they had ever happened. Zoya traced it once with her thumb, straightened and went inside. Upstairs, she showered and dressed for work. Blazer. Hair. Heels. She stood in front of the mirror long enough to check that everything was where it should be.

The crystal glasses clinked loudly in the center of the Vance Global executive boardroom the sound echoing off the floor to ceiling glass windows that overlooked the glittering city skyline A toast everyone Julian Vance said his voice booming with absolute triumph as he raised his silver rimmed glass high into the air To the official dissolution of the old regime and the birth of a global superpower Tonight we officially integrated the Vane family trust shares directly into the core assets of Vance Global The board members and senior executives erupted into loud applause nodding and cheering as they drank the expensive vintage champagne

As I cursed and ducked, covering my head with my arms, Mandalay and Vienne remained standing, unruffled by whatever had exploded in the room next to us. “What the hell?” I said, still flinching my head down even as I straightened back to my full height and wondering why the other two weren’t equally alarmed. Mandalay burst out laughing. “I think it’s time to introduce him to Elliott.” I flashed Vienne a startled glance. “Who the fuck is Elliott?” She tightened her lips into a grin as if she wanted to laugh. “I should probably tell you now that Grandfather created dragon glass.” “Okay,” I said slowly, staring after Mandalay as he hobbled toward the doorway leading into the chamber that had ju

Elijah shook as he explained which caused his bangs to sway. I groaned and looked over at Raul. I had been expecting war to break out between the two kingdoms but I never expected it to be now. The werewolves are great thinkers, I give them that. They knew my attention would be focused on Jasmine so they chose to strike. Wonderful.
