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

"Come on, we both need a shower," Rem laughed, pulling away.


Serine groaned and grabbed their hand. "I don't know that I can move," she giggled.


Laughing, Serine allowed herself to be lifted off of the counter. Feet planted on the floor once more, she looked up at Rem and smiled. Rem bent to kiss her once more and lingered with their lips on hers, taking in every wonderful second. They withdrew with a low growl and led the grinning Serine to the shower. After quickly adjusting the temperature, they gently pushed her into the spray.


Rem quickly stripped off their own clothes, pleased to see the blush creep back into Serine's lovely face, and joined her in the shower. They took Serine's shoulders, spun her around, and Serine relaxed back into Rem's body, both enjoying the hot water.
