Sawyer still hurt. Hayes, Ren come see him. Sawyer thought Hayes & Ren together. No, they’re like brother & sister. Hayes had eye of couple people. Sawyer feel something, Hayes felt it too. Sawyer like Ren but she decades older than him. Hayes had eye on Winter. Ren hadn’t been able heal Sawyer entirely, fangs slid out, hunger for blood. He’d have tell pack soon, he was vampire. Epilogue: Steele not good

& still unconscious. Winter hurt too but back helping Ren heal others. Steele tell Jade loves her. Jade say loves him too. Steele realize this future he didn’t know wanted. Still vampires out there, need find them. Moon goddess speak Steele & Jade. Tell Steele what demon did to him won’t b passed on to offspring. It’s her gift to him. Dara pregnant, Jade happy for her. Steele/Jade mating ceremony. Wonderful.

by throat, Jade scream. Opening open behind Malthus, drops Steele. Malthus yell they’ll pay for this, Steele say not before you die, hits him back toward opening. Demons on other side grab Malthus & drag him back to hell. Pack lost 14 pack/humans who’d fought along side them. Human who’d heard about battle came help injured, give shelter. Witches not from coven came help heal anyone could. Sawyer been hurt

power of coven within her. Jade’s firebird go after Lily, she die. Look shock on Malthus, one of him sad realizing hadn’t wanted lose Lily. Siphoned magic spill back into air. Malthus step toward Jade, Steele’s hybrid step front her, slammed hands into Malthus chest. Steele & Malthus fight blow for blow. Chase, Cruz, all Talons, Redwoods, Aspens, Centrals there take Malthus out hit by hit. Malthus grab Steele

Cassius die, Nova screams. Jade/Steele look each other, know Steele has use hybrid go after Malthus & hope can control it. Might not b enough. Sawyer slam on ground by vampire, Hayes pick up, get him to healer. Get to Lily, ask Steele ready, tell Jade he trusts her, Jade know she loves him. Need kill Lily before kill Malthus. Steele shift to hybrid, Lily throw every magic has at Jade but not enough. Jade feel all

Malthus throw Skye across field, Chase rake claws down Malthus chest, he smiled. Malthus held palm of magic out push at Chase, Cassius move front of him, roar, magic pulse back at Malthus like ricocheting off magic he’d put into Cassius. Malthus fall to ground. Chase kneel Cassius, say good man. Cassius say tried fight it but saved him in end. Why Goddess never blessed him cuz knew it happen, he’d b weakest link.

brought wards down. Malthus there. Another explosion. Have hold line til other packs arrive. Cole, Nico, Adalyn arrive. Sawyer, Winter, Ren. Lily w/Malthus, she sweaty shaking, going thru withdrawal, need siphon more. Another wave vampires, these w/demon fire. Jade say need stop them or they burn everything & wont able stop it. Ronin hit w/demon fire, die. Malthus move quick front of Chase, Steele shift run to them

in forest, see Cassius, eyes glassed over, cut palm say they will surrender to master. Run to him, explosion. Malthus brought entire army vampires. Cassius holding head, look Steele & ask what happened? Another bomb go off, human union with vampire army. They always wanted those dead that couldn’t control. Cassius didn’t know what doing, tell Steele kill him cuz doesn’t know what Malthus make him do. Explosions

force Steele do his bidding that saved his wolf. Steele hate self for it. He’d been bonded to parents, when bond snapped, broke him. Why he never want mate. Didn’t want hurt like it again. He’s bonded to pack cuz enforcer & demon tainting bond. He trying figure it out, trying figure them out. He feels like they b more but he freaking out. She trust him, didn’t think she’d ever say that anyone. Still on walk
