Sera Eryx slept so close that sometimes I couldn’t tell where his skin stopped and mine started. We’d wedged together on the sorry excuse for a mattress, one of his legs thrown over mine, his hand draped over my ribcage like a seatbelt. For a minute, I actually dreamed we were home. Then the door…
Draven The moment the ground started to heave, I was already running math on the structural integrity of the walls, the placement of the chandeliers, and the density of the crowd. The first fracture zigzagged through the marble like a wire in a block of cheese, and then the screaming started. Kael and Lyric flanked…
Sera The ballroom was already in full predation mode when we arrived. Alphas clustered in packs and pairs with the occasional single, all lounging like lions and eyeing omegas with hunger.

Kael Aside from sleeping and Theron’s nonstop cooking, the library turned into the place we spent most of our days and nights.
