Leader of the gang called the Masquerade, Isaiah is a vicious, old, and controlling vampire. He governs the underground and has such far reaching power that no one leaves the city without his permission.

A former gang member, Remmis, has been a thorn in his side ever since they violently ran away from the gang, leaving Isaiah scarred and infuriated. The strong-willed serval shifter, Rem, has been impossible to catch until Isaiah enlists one of his newest Masquerade members, Serine.

The lovely, shy Serine is a psion with the ability to speak directly into the minds of others roaming the streets of Chicago. Rem’s mind catches her attention, and given no choice, she assists in their capture.

Rem and Serine slowly grow feelings for each other with Serine coming to terms that she wants out of the gang for good, but leaving the Masquerade—and the possessive Isaiah—is easier said than done.

Fleeing The Night

Rem was woken by someone banging on the door to the room. They huffed and rolled over, covering their head with one hand. The door opened and someone stomped inside.


"Can't you take one day off from yelling?" they countered. They smirked under their hand, knowing from his grumbling that he was trying not to kick them. "All right, I'm up." They sat up and glanced around. "Where's Serine?"


"She's moved rooms," Marcus barked. "Get up. We're going out."


"Of course." Rem stretched and stood up. They shrugged into their coat and followed after him. "What poor sap are we going to go abuse today?"


"Someone you won't have a problem harming, Rem."


Rem glanced around Marcus at the speaker. They put on a clearly fake smile as they stepped into the main hall. "Nice to see you again, Anne."
