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

"What's your play here, vamp?" the shorter of the two Hunters asked, eyeing Rem.


"Like I said, Hunter," they replied, casually. "I'm just following orders and collecting a few people Isaiah wants words with. Tell me where they are and you get to live."


The Hunters exchanged a glance and eyed the guns in Rem's possession. Their eyes flicked up to Grandfather as well. Finally, the taller one agreed. Rem gave them the names of the two shifters they were after and the shorter one pointed out their cells.


"Surprised you're not after the other vamps," he added.


Rem smirked beneath the bandana and raised their voice to be heard down the indicated hall. "They know why they're not getting released."


Several loud curses came down the hall back at them and Rem laughed.


"Go on," they nodded to the hall. "Show me the way to my quarry."


Frowning, the Hunters turned and began walking.
