Chapter no 59
59 “What do you mean, Danika was selling it?” Tharion shook his head. “I don’t know if she was selling it or buying it or what, but right before synth started appearing on the streets, she was spotted on an Auxiliary boat in the dead of night. There was a crate of synth on board.” […]

58 Her mother messaged while she was dressing for work the next morning, with the time and location of a medwitch appointment. Eleven today. It’s five blocks from the gallery. Please go. Bryce didn’t write back. She certainly wouldn’t be going to the appointment. Not when she had another one scheduled with the Meat Market. […]

57 Thirty minutes later, Bryce had changed into her sleep shorts and was brooding on her bed when a knock thumped on the door. “You’re a fucking traitor, Athalar,” she called. Hunt opened the door and leaned against its frame. “No wonder you moved here, if you and your mom fight so much.” The instinct […]
Chapter no 56
56 A stunning woman in her mid-forties appeared on the screen, her sheet of black hair still untouched by gray, her freckled face just beginning to show the signs of a mortal life span. From what Hunt could see, Ember Quinlan was seated on a worn green couch situated against oak-paneled walls, her long, jeans-clad […]

55 The golden rays of dawn coaxed Bryce awake. The blankets were warm, and the bed soft, and Syrinx was still snoring— Her room. Her bed. She sat up, jostling Syrinx awake. He yowled in annoyance and slithered deeper under the covers, kicking her in the ribs with his hind legs for good measure. Bryce […]

54 Hunt took a back entrance into the tower, careful to avoid any area that Sandriel might be frequenting. Isaiah hadn’t picked up, and he knew better than to keep calling until he did. Micah was staring out the window when he arrived, his power already a brewing storm in the room. “Why,” the Archangel […]

53 It was still raining the next morning, which Bryce decided was an omen. Today would suck. Last night had sucked. Syrinx refused to emerge from under the sheets, even though Bryce tried to coax him with the promise of breakfast before his walk, and by the time Bryce finally hauled him to the street […]
Chapter no 52
52 Bryce’s blood roared as she sprinted through the Old Square, down rain- soaked streets, all the way to Five Roses. The villas glowed in the rain, palatial homes with immaculate lawns and gardens, all fenced with wrought iron. Stone-faced Fae or shifter sentries from the Auxiliary were posted at every corner. As if the […]
Chapter no 51
51 “Summoning a demon is a bad fucking idea,” Hunt breathed as night fell beyond the apartment’s shut curtains. “Especially considering that’s what started this mess in the first place.” They stood in her great room, lights dimmed and candles flickering around them, Syrinx bundled in blankets and locked in his crate in Bryce’s bedroom, […]
Chapter no 50
50 Hunt didn’t realize just how badly Sabine’s bombshell had hit Bryce until the next morning. She didn’t run. Nearly didn’t get up in time for work. She drank a cup of coffee but refused the eggs he made. Barely said three words to him. He knew she wasn’t mad at him. Knew that she […]
