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 paced the narrow space available in the office, impatient as they waited for a response. Grandfather and Ezra spoke quietly in the background, but Rem ignored them. After what seemed like an eternity, the phone buzzed. Rem smiled, seeing the response of a location and time.


"Anyone want to come with?" they asked, turning to the two men.


"I will," Grandfather volunteered. "I'm more discrete than he is." He hiked a thumb at Ezra who just shook his head.


"Fine, let's go." Rem tossed the phone back to Grandfather and started toward the door.


Ezra stood quickly. "Please be safe," he said.


"And don't get followed," Grandfather added, grinning at him. He checked the address before following after Rem. "Shift and run?" he asked as the two moved quickly toward the warehouse exit.


"Best way to get there quickly," they replied.
