Echoes in the Dusk

I sat in the moonlight, basking in the cloudless night, thanking the Goddess for an easy trip, one that didn't require any real work to be done on my part. I stirred my drink, a little whiskey mixed with not so fresh blood, but I doubt the werewolf's would have been very accommodating if I had asked to go hunting on their land. They were already on edge having a couple vampi-

All of a sudden I was shaken out of my thoughts by the sound of someone walking on the roof above my floor. Fuck. I kicked my leg back and slid the silver knife out of my ankle holster to simply wait in the shadow for whoever it was about to make this mistake.

After a few moments whoever it was dropped down, landing in a crouching position and stood up, then showed an almost surprised response to see me already waiting. I simply motioned them to step into my room as I didn't move from where I sat. The cloaked figure stepped in and I sized them up. Seemed to be a small female with reaper gear on, which included the hood and face mask.

Wonderful, this is going to be messy.

The female made an attempt to pull her hood down but in one fluid motion, I latched onto her arm, dragging her into the shadows away from the moonlight and held the knife up to her throat as her hands clasped down on my arm, trying to pull it away.

A small voice came out terrified. "Dorian? Please don-"

Mihaela.

☽ ------------------------- ☾

Mihaela finally meets the other side of her family that was hidden from her, and it's everything she hoped it would be. Even though her Mate rejected her, she has another chance at a happy ending when she meets Jace, who's mate was killed years ago. She quickly starts uncovering family secrets that no one seems know about, including her Father. Will this put her happy ending in jeopardy? Can she fix them alone, or will she have to share the dark history that has been hidden since before she was born and risk the past that was buried by her ancestors to come to light again?
