Chapter Two

Stars shine especially bright in the absence of city streetlights. Those who never experience the true beauty beyond the city limits don’t even know what they’re missing, but I do. Staring into the vast night sky with the wind ruffling my hair, I admired the beauty of the stars unobstructed by flashing lights and the roar of traffic.

I strolled through the parking lot to the front doors of Lucy’s Lounge. The shabby little nightclub was the hottest thing that Stony Plain had going for it, and I loved it to bits. Though my small hometown was just ten minutes down the highway from the big city, it felt like it was a world away. You’d never find a traffic circle or a one way street here.

Arys was here, and I wanted to talk to him. It couldn’t wait until whenever he decided to stroll over for some love. It was Tuesday, which meant he’d likely be playing poker and taking his opponents for everything they had. Typical vampire, he can never have too much of anything.

He’d always wanted to toy with that ability, but it freaked me out. It felt invasive and unnatural from both sides. I loathed making use of it unless absolutely necessary. As of yet, it wasn’t.

Nodding to the bouncer at the door, I smiled tightly and brushed past. Though my fangs and claws had since receded, the power humming through me, like a medium-grade drug hit, caused my wolf to refuse to lie silent inside me, instead pressing the surface of my being. A complete shift to wolf was the most natural way to burn off the excess energy roiling about within me. The urge was there, but I did have control over that one thing.

I blinked furiously a few times as my sensitive eyes adjusted to the dim and oddly yellow lighting. The stage was empty tonight. Instead of a live band, the DJ had the sounds of classic rock booming through the speaker system. I didn’t waste time scoping the place out. I had
