TOBIAS

My past is hunting me. My future is tempting me. It's here, now, that I must accept my fate.

For three months, I was chained to a stage, forced to dance for monsters who fed from me and branded me. I wasn't a person to them-I was property.

I thought I'd die in that club. When I tried to escape, I woke up in another cage-a shifter packhouse-with no memory of how I got there.

They say I'm safe now. That they're the good guys and they want to help, but they don't even know me. They know nothing of the mark on my shoulder or the dangers it could bring to their doorstep. Worse? I don't know about it either.

I only know that I'm his-and he won't let me go.

I should leave, get far away from the vampire who branded me. But something about this place makes me stay-especially him. Rowen, the kind-eyed shifter who sees me as more than just a victim. His steady presence is soothing in ways I can't possibly understand. My heart longs for him. He's making me want things I'm not sure I deserve. A family. A home. A future.

The mark pulses like a warning-threatening not only my life, but theirs. His memory haunts me. His voice creeps into my dreams, warping my reality. Time disappears as easily as my will.

The pack's lives are in my hands. But how can I save them... when I can't even save myself?
