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 watched carefully as the pair of Hunters close to Marcus and Grant's position glanced at each other before their hands went to their sides, clicking the guns free of their holders. They looked around carefully, examining everyone in their proximity. Something about Grant seemed to set them off and they began approaching the pair.


"Hey, good—" Rem was cut off by a heavy hand on their shoulder. They swore as they were spun around, losing their grip on Serine.


"That's them!" The young man from the previous chase pointed at Rem and Serine from his position behind another set of Hunters. The two huge, muscled men nodded.


"You two are under arrest," the one holding Rem said as he tightened his grip.


"I feel like this is an oversight that should have been noticed," Rem remarked, the words dripping with sarcasm. They casually turned to the startled Serine. "Run now."
