“They don’t live here,” the lycan dressed in leather pants and jacket and who looked unmistakably like a sexy biker answered. “They are from far away but like all of us have been in a state of upheaval since the Unveiling and the supermoon that soon followed.”

“The supermoon that reportedly ripped through the veil separating the Human Realm from the Otherworldly Realm,” she said.

Blaez, whose eyes glowed that intense blue that Decan recalled seeing when the lycan was in his complete wolf form, nodded to Nisa.

“There are more here than shifters now and unfortunately, much more at stake than a lowly human who rules with hate in his heart,” Blaez told them.

A screeching sound bellowed through the air then and they all stared ahead in silence. Waiting.

Decan stood near Nisa, pulling her close and reveling in the fact that she did not attempt to pull away.

Something cut through the fog. Something big and dark. The ground shook beneath them, almost to the point of sending them all tumbling. They managed to remain upright and continued to stare when the big and dark pierced the fog once more, this time in one quick motion that produced a heavy wave of warm air to fall upon them. In the next second more was visible, until it was no question they were staring at a wing. A more than one hundred foot wing so dark it appeared to be a deep purple color.

Nisa gasped as the second wing appeared and then a golden arch of fire was spewed into the air. The cold that had greeted them when they’d first stepped outside immediately vanished and heat filled the space. As suddenly as it appeared, the wings and the fire vanished. The fog rolled back in a motion that seemed as if the owner of those massive wings had sucked it in with its departure.

And lying on the ground just about ten feet away from where they stood was the body of a man.

Blaez moved first and Decan immediately followed him. They both came to a stop—Blaez’s pack behind him and Nisa beside Decan.

“That’s Cole Linden,” Blaez said and looked up at Decan who stared at the man once more and then looked at Nisa.
