My fingernails dug into the leather of the steering wheel as I drove toward Hell's Peak. My stomach felt like a creature with claws and sharp teeth trying to eat its way outside. I stared longingly at every human I passed, nearly stopping my car each time to feed on them, but I forced myself to continue on.

It was eerily quiet in Hell’s Peak for this time of night. Usually as soon as the sun set, the addicts, dealers, pimps and prostitutes set up shop, but I only spotted one man stumbling down the sidewalk. Where was everyone?

I parked in front of Nine Lives. Music blared past the brick exterior, but there was no line in front. It may still be late for club goers, but not for a Friday night. There wasn’t even a bouncer out front. Something was wrong.

Inside, only a fourth of the usual crowd sat around the bar, and the dance floor was mostly empty. I spotted Spike at the back of the room, sitting with a drink in his hand with three others, all human. As soon as they saw me coming, they scrambled away. All but Spike.

I lowered into the chair next to him. “What happened? Where are all the people?”

He stared at his drink, a literal bloody Mary by the smell of it. “They’re gone. All of them.”

“Who?”

“Lots of them. Humans, supernaturals. All taken.”

“When?”

“It started late last night and into the day. People just started disappearing.” He lifted his head and scanned the club. His voice lowered. “They’re calling it The Cleansing.”

“Where’s Rocky?”

Spike nodded his head toward the back office. I backed away slowly, a growing sense of dread spreading throughout me. The Phoenix must’ve taken them.

I opened the door to Rocky’s office. He sat at his desk, holding a pencil, with three of his men gathered around him, staring down at a map. But when they saw me, three guns pointed my direction.

I gave Rocky a serious stare, and he nodded his head. All three guns lowered.

“I was hoping I’d see you.” Nostrils flaring and eyes blazing, Rocky rose to his full height, towering over everyone in the room. It was a good thing he was human because he’d be one hell of a scary supernatural.

“Tell me what’s happened,” I said.

“I shut Hell's Peak down, that’s what’s happened. I know to most people on the outside, the people here, druggies and whores, aren’t worth saving, but they’re my people. My people! Do you understand that? And now someone’s taking them.”

I studied him for a moment, my unlikely ally. He was the friend I didn’t know I wanted until now. His soul, dark and tainted, had fire burning at its core. Fire was still light. It just burned more violently and uncontrolled.

“They’re at a place called the cathedral,” I said, deciding to share my information.

“Where?”

“Near the place I told you to watch. Raven Street, but you can’t see it.”

He pursed his lips. “What supernatural has the power to do this?”

“A powerful fae, the
