She kept improving her view. She went from a jail cell to a clear cube where she got to watch her fellow prisoner do shirtless chin-ups. Sure, sheβd been shot full of crap, but hanging with Tiberius might make it worth thatβup until the first full moon when she turns into a creature. As it was Tiberiusβs blood they injected her with, heβd changed into a monster too and goes on a rampage in the mad science lab, breaking them out.
Once theyβre out, itβs only a matter of time before the βwhite coatsβ capture them or attack Tiberiusβs clan of dark beasts. Being on the run turns into a constant power struggle between her and Tiberius, and itβs hard to compete for alpha with a guy who doesnβt think twice about challenging a bear. Still, thereβs no way theyβre doing the deed before Tiberius actually calls her by name, and heβs got to stop dropping her on her back or sheβll kill him in his sleep. But as stubborn and aggravating as he isβand he is aggravating as hellβitβs becoming more and more obvious that heβs her match. Now, they just have to stay alive long enough for her to prove that biting isnβt just for domination anymore.
"Unmatched Grace"
The two species, Lycan and Manumitters, have always been at odds with each otherβboth stubborn and intolerant in their own ways. The Manumitter mark has appeared on Graceβs hand, though, and without the power of her father to protect her, she knows going home is as good as a death wish, but she still goes. The wild Lycans outside the colony wonβt allow the presence of a mind-bending Manumitter coming into her full powers. When a Lycan appears immediately on her return, she thinks itβs overβher final stand hadnβt even lasted until the sun dropped and the full moon made the devil inside Lycans walk. Sheβs surprised to find herself aching and wanting this Lycan, but theyβre not exactly strangers, and maybe heβs not here to kill her.
Seven years ago, Silas was promised Grace by her father in exchange for returning his conscience to him. When the devil walks that night, making the more primitive sides to the Lycanβs act outβheβll be in conflict with the pack heβs always hunted with, and he knows theyβre coming for Grace. Silas promised himself that if they survived, heβd make Grace his in every way, and he swore to herβwhen she told him where she ached, heβd heal it with his Lycan touch. One nightβand if he can save Grace maybe heβll have more than his conscience to show for the deal he made seven years ago.
