Dominic: I don't even recognize my best friend, Dante, anymore. Especially not after what he did to me. Turning me into some vampire/wolf monster. I don't even know what to do next and I'm still hungry. God, I can't do this... I can't kill innocent people for food. What am I going to do? Noel: Waking up tonight, I've got a few things on my mind. First things first, I've got a sexually frustrated brother in the dungeon who's probably going out of his mind with the need to release. I promised I wouldn't make him wait, so I won't. But after that... Theoden has left the fate of the prisoner in our cell, Jules, up to me. He's a friend of mine, I recruited him, but now I'm supposed to decide if he lives or dies. I can't help but feel that this is a test, one I can't fail. Deacon: Oh, the look on Theoden's face when he realized that I outsmarted him. I bet that doesn't happen often, if at all. In the end, I have more territory that I don't have to share. I did it all without jeopardizing my alliance with him. Now, we just have to see what Laurent and Akio will do next. Kendrick: I must say, things are turning out to be very interesting. I didn't expect to have to deal with the female Alpha mate of Laurent when I took him out. But she is proving to be feisty and I like that in a woman. This tournament to decide who gets to keep this territory may prove to be one of the most entertaining things I've seen in a long time. Still, regardless of the outcome... I've already decided that this entire colony is mine for the taking. Theoden: Something isn't right and I don't like when things don't go according to how I expect them to. There should have been an attack on Josef's territory from Laurent and Akio, but nothing. Are they pulling back now that they know Deacon betrayed Selena or is there something else at play? I don't like the unknown and Josef and I need to figure out just what in the hell is going on and fast. Warning: This is one of the most intense paranormal series you're ever going to read.
