Howl and wail

In the misty town of Black Hollow, where supernatural creatures exist in uneasy truce, Kai, a young alpha werewolf, has spent his life protecting his pack. But when a new and terrifying force emerges-a male banshee named Jackson Banshee, whose voice doesn't just foretell death but causes it-Kai's world is shattered.

Jackson isn't just any banshee. He is a ghost of Kai's past-a name whispered in fear, a shadow that haunts his bloodline. Years ago, their families were intertwined by tragedyWhen Lena, Kai's beta and closest friend, falls lifeless to Jackson's voice, Kai's desperation leads him to do the unthinkable. He seeks out Jackson himself.

He finds the banshee waiting in an abandoned cathedral, the glow of candlelight flickering against his pale skin. A haunting melody fills the air-"Poor Unfortunate Souls" playing softly from an old radio.

Jackson smirks. "Funny, isn't it? You wolves take and take, and when death finally knocks on your door, you come begging."

Kai demands Lena's life back. Jackson makes him an offer: Lena will live-but Kai must take a life in return.

A mark burns into Kai's skin, a sigil binding him to Jackson's command.
