Waking up to discover the apocalypse had begun, and to find that I was no longer human, was not how I thought my day would go. But then again, I supposed I was thankful to just have another day to begin with, considering I’d apparently been a mindless monster for the last several months. The city was a mess, with many buildings destroyed by massive black towers that rose into the sky like enormous thorns. And yet, despite all this, I was about to discover that the monsters and bizarre landscape weren’t the strangest things about the apocalypse.

After escaping both my father’s plans to marry me off and the Russian mafia, I woke up this morning thinking I was a free woman...until I saw the man sipping coffee in my hotel room. He’s a billionaire as powerful as any mob boss, yet even as he spanks me into soaking wet, shameful surrender I can’t help begging him to ravage my virgin body right then and there. I can run, but I know soon I’ll be kneeling at his feet, bare, blushing, and ready to be claimed.

She will now become my wife, even if I have to drag her down the aisle. I want her under my complete control. I want her every breath, her every movement, her every thought to be only of me.

Nora knows she needs to move on. And forget about magic. She's back in graduate school, and her life is going surprisingly well. She doesn't need to think about other worlds, about enchantments and demons, or about magicians - even though she once aspired to become one herself.

Then a chance encounter gives Nora the opportunity to slip between worlds again - and the next phase of her magical education begins.

Suddenly there came from outside a lot of loud shouting, hooting, and hollering. Damian looked out the window, and the Tucci covenant was up in the field, and Elijah was right. There were approximately 40 of them. “Alright...” said Damian. “Jane, Ariel, John, Michael, Jack, Gabriel, and Ash let’s go. Paul, lets hold a perimeter until The Morachis arrive." They all went outside and the pack shape-shifted. Damian led them to the edge of the field and formed a line with the pack. Billy shouted. “Vanburg I’ve no beef with you. This is between me and The Morachis."

Damian headed for the birthing room with Ariel. Right away Damian knew something wasn’t right. Mary’s character was like that of his covenant's birthing mothers that have been impregnated by a vampire. Damian laid his hand on Mary’s belly. He could feel the hard kicking. This poor girl was beaten and bruised up and apparently had no blood in her diet. She must have been suffering and going through this alone.

Damian shared Alyssa’s visions out loud. "Apparently, the vampire that we killed was from the Bodescu covenant. It turns out that they want revenge and to wipe my covenant out of existence. There is no telling how many are in their covenant.” Ariel was the first to speak. “Is there no one in control over the covenants? Someone who is the judge and jury? Someone who can stop this nonsense?”

Damian saw the vampire in charge right away, but he was completely surrounded by newborns, which were clearly out of control while looking for blood and their next victim. "We will have to wait for a moment that he’s alone, and it’ll only be for a split second," said Damian. "Whoever sees it first, go in for the kill." Hours had passed, and the newborns still made it impossible.
