The words were a shield around me, a possessive claim that sent a warmth curling in my chest. The protective instinct in his tone sent a wave of comfort through me, but the warmth was short-lived. Just as quickly, something colder and sharper slid through me—a flicker of doubt. Would he still think of me as his if Nossy’s poisonous words managed to turn him against me? If she whispered enough of her twisted truths, would Jason still stand by me? Or would he, too, start seeing me as the thing everyone feared?

I shoved that thought aside, but it lingered like a shadow, clawing at the edges of my mind.

Before I could even form a response, the chill in the air thickened, and a bone-deep sense of dread swept over me. I started to speak, to snap at Nossy to shut up, but the words died on my tongue when her head jerked backward with a sickening crack. The movement was unnatural, contorted—like something had taken hold of her, something that wasn’t her at all.

Her eyes turned black—pure, soul

    “Shove the family talk up your fat ass,” I snarled. “Or I’ll have the witches do it for you.”“You’ll never touch her again,” Jason snarled, his fangs out, his eyes darker than nightmares. I shivered, not because of fear, but because he appeared so sexy in his dark glory. It’d turn any woman on when a male would go to war to protect you, and the Vampire King had just issued a challenge. “I’ll tear you to pieces and erase your essence and soul forever.”“You don’t even know what you harbor in your keep, Vampire King,” the vile male snorted. “She’ll wreck your world again and rain down fire and death on Earth. I’m not the bad guy. I’ve been trying to save what’s left of Earth, but she’ll leave nothing standing when her monster comes out to play. And don’t you know we aren’t the only hunters? The entire Earth has risen up against her, or the idea of her.The Defenders, Guardians, Watchers, just to name a few. If anyone points them your way, the tsunami will sweep over you, and you won’t h

    “You’re his daughter,” he repeated, his voice steady but laced with an intensity that made my pulse spike. His gaze never wavered, and the weight of his words settled like a stone in the pit of my stomach. “Sues only confirmed it for me, but he’ll pay for that betrayal.” His jaw clenched, and I could see the flicker of rage in his eyes, a dark promise of vengeance. “I’ll make sure he doesn’t live through our next confrontation.”The wind howled outside, mirroring the chaos churning within me, and blood pounded so fiercely in my ears that it drowned out any other sound. Everything in me felt like a storm—a whirlwind of fear, confusion, anger, and something dangerously close to hope.“You know I’m an abomination,” I said, voice trembling yet defiant. “You know what I am—what I could do. That I’ll probably bring mass destruction.” My breath caught in my throat, but

    We left as soon as the sun set.Over a dozen black armored vans were lined up in front of the house. I shared a vehicle with my former companions, and I watched everyone vacate the fort efficiently.“Are we abandoning the fort?” I asked as our fleet cruised out of the gate.“The shifter army is coming here,” White said. He sat with Faerry in the last row of the seats. “This compound is compromised.”“The shifter army is coming?” I shrieked. “They’re still chasing us? When will they learn to give the fuck up and just go home?”“The dogs are hunters,” Faerry said, polishing her nails. “They never give up their quarry.”“Who’s the quarry?” I demanded. “They’d better not think it’s me.”“It’s you.” Faerry smiled at me. “But that’s okay. We’re with you. They lost face when we stole you right from under their noses. They need to even the score.”I narrowed my eyes in displeasure. “So this is a my-dick-can’t-be-smaller-than-yours thing?”“Our dicks are definitely bigger,” White said confident

    But Jason? He wasn’t playing any games. There was no hidden disrespect, no fake flattery behind closed doors. When he recognized me, he did it wholeheartedly. Even if he teased me in private and let me know exactly when I got under his skin, there was an honesty about it, and a respect that felt genuine.We started toward the mansion, and as we did, I noticed a vampire heading toward us with purpose. He was young, by vampire standards, looking as if he’d been turned in his late twenties. His hair was a sandy blonde, cropped neatly, and his eyes were a bright blue that held a glint of intensity, an energy I didn’t see in many vampires. His sharp, square jaw only emphasized his striking features, but there was something else that set him apart: a perfectly groomed mustache, twirled at the ends in a way that would have looked ridiculous on anyone else. On him, though, it somehow worked, like he was channeling some old-world charm no one else had the guts to attempt. I couldn’t help but w

    The servants bowed to me and said if I needed anything, I should just ring the bell in the room and they’d come to serve me, before they departed to give me privacy.I immediately went to check the walk-in closet and found dozens of new outfits in my size inside. This was another type of lifestyle I needed to get used to.I headed to the bathroom to do my business and take a bath. When I came out, a tray of several dishes, including two hamburgers, sat in the center of the table.The hamburgers didn’t taste like the ones I’d shared with Diane and the girls, so I guessed it was the company. One shouldn’t eat a burger alone. I missed my friends dearly and hoped they were safe. But I knew no hunters would go after them since I was gone.I finished my food, sipped the juice, and rang the bell.A servant girl who looked my age came in and asked me if she could remove the remaining dishes.

    The light witches approached me cautiously, not entering through the French doors but appearing from the shadows on the other side. They’d been training me nonstop for days, testing my resilience and patience, pushing the limits of my powers. Barbie, always efficient, had drilled me on spells and potions, memorizing incantations and identifying herbs, understanding the delicate balance between dark and light magic. She made sure I could distinguish between what was forbidden and what was celebrated. Meanwhile, Fin had taken a more hands-on approach, guiding me in channeling my energy, summoning my power, and holding it steady in my grasp.Smooth, however, was relentless. He spent hours with me, determined to help me uncover the hidden elemental magics he claimed I possessed. “You should have command over all the elements,” he insisted, his gaze fierce. “Wind, fire, water, metal, and earth.

    Okay, I know I'm not supposed to feel like I was in heat, but I couldn’t help it. Jason Nollan. The vampire king was hot. Big letter, super H.O.T.Am I stupid? Definitely.Anyway, call me Phia, or Phiagirl and I'm a shewolf, a hybrid who could wield magic, and here I was salivating over a vampire. Our natural enemy. How sick was that?I sighed and swallowed a lump as the vampire king with his dark scowl approached me with a predatory grace, as if he possessed not only my existence but also the very air I struggled to draw into my lungs.I leaned back against the cold, unforgiving wall, my wrists bound in shackles, yet a smirk lingered on my lips, a defiant spark in the face of danger as I looked at my ill-gotten copy of Homer laying on the floor and sighed as I gazed around the massive empty hallway.There he was. Imposing and powerful, and I couldn't get my eyes away from him. He was the vampire king. The most powerful of all nighters, and yes, I could sense him; I know he was there

    The mere thought of teeth sent an instinctive rush of adrenaline through my body, setting my fingers tingling. Suddenly all I could think was, Get out of this cell NOW.Yeah, if I could.But my legs wouldn’t let me. I was just standing there. Shackled and frozen in place.When his power washed over me, not to hurt me but needing to connect, my skin buzzed with electricity. The hybrid predator inside me came alive, recognising its peer and its king. Every cell in me was infused with the thrill of the hunt, my hunger and misery forgotten.I sighed. Okay, I need to play nice; pretend that I’m not scared before I become his meal.“Took you long enough, Mr. kind sir,” I purred, the words slipping from my lips with a teasing edge, but in reality, I'm trembling. “I mean, King…?” I squeaked it out before the words caught in the back of my throat, and I quieted the urge to run screaming toward the exit even though there was no exit from this formidable place.He stepped over the dented iron do

    My throat tightened as I stared at Nossy, her sneer a constant reminder of the chaos she had caused in my life. I must get the truth out of her—alone. The thought echoed in my mind like a mantra, desperate and urgent. If she said anything that didn’t sit right with me, I’d just snuff her out quietly. No one would know. No one would have a chance to turn on me. Worse, no one would start hunting me. It was safer that way. Easier.I had heard enough whispers in the Shifters Uni to know that the rumors surrounding Deathroh’s daughter were growing louder by the day. They said she was still alive, walking the Earth, her very existence a threat to everyone—human and supernatural alike. The idea of her had become something of a myth, a whispered warning among those who sought to protect their own from his wrath. And the most terrifying part? They believed that she was me.I couldn’t even begin to comprehend it. Deathroh’s daughter? Me? How? How could I possibly be his daughter? I was a hybrid

    Jason, for his part, didn’t say anything. He didn’t need to. His gaze, his quiet intensity, said everything.I cleared my throat, breaking the moment, but a small, teasing smile still tugged at the corners of my mouth. “You didn’t sleep on the job, Henry,” I said, glancing at the man holding the tray of coffee.Henry shot me a look, his eyes narrowing slightly as though he was offended. “I never sleep on the job,” he replied curtly, his tone firm and almost defiant. His posture didn’t shift an inch, still rigid and professional, and I could see the faintest traces of amusement in his gaze, though it was expertly hidden behind his usual stoic demeanor.“I’m glad and surprised,” I said, grinning a little as I took a step closer to him. “Is that coffee for me?” I asked, my voice light, teasing.Henry’s snort was immediate. “Who else could get me to serve her coffee?” he muttered, barely containing his distaste.I laughed softly, the sound unexpectedly easy, and then it clicked—this had b
