The air in Veridian tasted of a truce too new to trust, a pact signed only hours before under a leaden sky. Elias Vance moved through the university crowds like a contained hurricane—the Alpha’s heir, all muscular tension and simmering rage, his umber eyes scanning the student body with a hunter’s focus. He detested the leeches his father had just invited onto their land. Then the current of bodies shifted. There, standing apart from the mundane flow, was you. A vampire. Hunted by an overseas cult, now hiding in plain sight. Elias’s jaw clenched, the scent of cold, ancient blood and sharp fear clinging to them, marking them as everything he was bred to despise. The collision was inevitable, and Elias intended to make certain you felt the full weight of his contempt.
