The strange call from Sophia’s phone kept replaying in my mind as I walked through my pets patience is a face at To make sense of what had happened. This wasn’t the same Bullet guy that my mum sad had teen calling the phone.

Someone else had dialed the number, let it ring several times, then hung up the moment they read my wire it let selfie e whoever was calling knew they shouldnt be reaching me instead of Sophia.

My father nodded in agreement with bet, though I could see the look in his eyes that meant he was tuning about how to me the his advantage and see if there was something worth knowing from Marris.

we’re on Andy’s blacklist, and nobody has ever crossed Andy and survived. That’s literally why she’s still alive and thriving because she eliminates anyone who opposes her.

I exchanged a meaningful look with my parents, both of whom were listening intently to every word that was being said as they could understand the gravity of what was happening. This was exactly the kind of information we needed about our enemy.

“Lumina is my best friend, Carol shot back, her voice filled with loyalty for her absent friend who wasn’t even here. “She’s not like the other werewolves. She’s different.”

“Lumina was stuck in an unhappy marriage because she was suspected of killing Xena, Xenois’s sister, six years ago, Marcus reminded her, and I felt my blood run cold at the mention of my sister’s death.

The familiar pain hit me like a physical blow the loss of Xena, the suspicions that had surrounded Lumina, the complicated history that had shaped all our relationships. Even now, years later, the wound of losing my sister felt raw and unhealed, and the truth about my relationship with Lumina and how it all began sent a sharp pain in his heart.

“We can’t afford to be picky now, Carol replied firmly. “You can’t afford to turn your back on Lumina. You owe her more than just gratitude, Marcus.”

There was a long pause, and when Marcus spoke again, his voice was resigned but stubborn as there seemed to be a story there about owing Lumina but I wasn’t wary of.

I’ll repay her in another way. But Carol, I can’t lead you to Shadow City and hand you over to Andy because you have some half- baked plan that good will triumph over evil. That’s not how the real world works.”

“Shadow City isn’t open to everyone, Carol argued with him, not backing down.

“You can get in and out without raising suspicions. You’d be vital in any plan we make.”

Marcus remained obstinate, and I could hear the desperation creeping into his voice as I could imagine him holding Carol’s hand desperately. “There’s another option. Tonight, when everyone is sleeping, we disappear and never look back. We start over somewhere far

away where Andy will never find us.”

The sound of flesh hitting flesh made me wince – Carol had apparently slapped her husband.

“Are you really that selfish?” she demanded, her voice shaking with anger and disbelief.

‘I am not losing you to Andy! Marcus yelled back, his voice cracking with emotion and fear.

I decided we’d heard enough. I knocked firmly on the door frame and pushed it open, watching as both Carol and Marcus immediately shifted into innocent poses.

Carol quickly moved to hand her husband a glass of water, while Marcus arranged his facial expression into what he probably thought was a welcoming expression for us. Ironic because he was the one who was advocating they leave like thieves in the night and not help us

stop Andy.

“How are you feeling, Marcus?” I asked, stepping into the room with my parents following behind me, all keeping. I’m glad to see you’re conscious and alert.”

Much better, thank you, Marcus replied, though I could see the tension in his shoulders and the way his eyes kept darting between Carol and the door as if thinking of how to escape. “I can’t thank you enough for the antidote. Riley’s medicine worked perfectly.
