Chapter no 49
49 “Danika didn’t steal anything,” Bryce whispered, cold lurching through her. Only Hunt’s arm around her middle kept her upright, his body a warm wall at her back. Sabine’s light brown eyes—the same shade Danika’s had been but void of their warmth—were merciless. “Why do you think I swapped the footage? She thought the blackout […]

48 Hunt weighed his options carefully. He had a gun pointed at Sabine’s head. She had a gun pointed at Bryce’s heart. Which of them was faster? The question buzzed in his skull. Bryce obeyed Sabine’s command, her hands raised. Hunt could only follow, stepping behind Bryce so she was up against his chest, so […]

47 The storm hit when they were two blocks from Bryce’s building, soaking them within seconds. Pain lanced through Hunt’s forearm and shoulder as he landed on the roof, but he swallowed it down. Bryce was still shaking, her face distant enough that he didn’t immediately let go when he set her upon the rain-soaked […]
Chapter no 46
46 The kristallos slammed into Hunt with the force of an SUV. Bryce knew he only had enough time to either draw a weapon or shove her out of the way. Hunt chose her. She hit the asphalt several feet from him, bones barking, and froze. Angel and demon went down, the kristallos pinning Hunt […]

45 “So do you think you’ll get promoted to principal after the season?” Her shoulder wedging her phone against her ear, Bryce toed off her shoes at her apartment door and strode for the wall of windows. Syrinx, freed of his leash, ran for his food bowl to await his dinner. “Doubtful,” Juniper said, her […]

44 “Sabine lied about Danika not being at the temple. But we need a solid plan for catching her if she’s summoning this demon,” Hunt said to Bryce twenty minutes later over lunch. The angel devoured no less than three bowls of cereal, one after another. She hadn’t spoken on the way back to the […]
Chapter no 43
43 The wolves’ Den in Moonwood occupied ten entire city blocks, a sprawling villa built around a wild tangle of forest and grass that legend claimed had grown there since before anyone had touched these lands. Through the iron gates built into the towering limestone arches, Bryce could see through to the private park, where […]
Chapter no 42
42 In the midmorning light, the Istros River gleamed a deep blue, its waters clear enough to see the detritus sprinkled among the pale rocks and waving grasses. Centuries of Crescent City artifacts rusted away down there, picked over again and again by the various creatures who eked out a living by scavenging the crap […]
Chapter no 41
41 The rain didn’t halt. Hunt couldn’t decide if it was a blessing, since it kept the streets mostly empty of all save Vanir affiliated with water, or if it was shit-poor luck, since it certainly wiped away any chance of a scent from the demon prowling the streets. “Come … on,” Bryce grunted. Leaning […]
Chapter no 40
40 It took Viktoria two days to find anything unusual on the city cameras and the power grid. But when she did, she didn’t call Hunt. No, she sent a messenger. “Vik told me to get your ass to her office—the one at the lab,” Isaiah said by way of greeting as he landed on […]
