Dark forces come at Detective Orrick Sterling and his vampire mate, Drake Wyckoff, from all sides. It'll take a lot of magic and muscle to save them. A desperate need to go home suddenly stabs every nerve in Drake's body. Something is wrong on a level he's never experienced before. Drake quickly mists home. A fierce tingling circles his chest as lust fires him up. He wonders if there is a siren in his house. Hearing voices coming from a guest room, Drake heads that way. The sight of a man in a hoodie causes the beast in him to rear up. With feral need coursing through him, Drake advances on his mate. When a golden-fay tries to kill Orrick, Drake's beast roars in rage. As soon as he finds her, the fay will die for her actions, just like any other person that threatens his mate. Attinie's more determined than ever. Paranoia has the Roseanthian stepping up her game.
