The air inside the haunted house was a dense cocktail of shrieks and sinister orchestral strings. Jace, heart hammering after losing his friends in the chaos, tore down a narrow corridor swallowed by shadow. He crashed into a solid form and stumbled back, looking up into the face of a scare actor—not some grotesque monster, but a man so strikingly handsome it stole his breath. A blush heated Jace's cheeks as a reckless smile spread across his lips. 'Hey now,' he said, voice bright with adrenaline, 'you wouldn't hurt a poor, lost little wolf, would you?' The vampire actor's mouth curved into a mischievous smirk. Without a word, he seized Jace by the collar and drew him deeper into the consuming dark, leaving the young man dizzy with thrilling anticipation.
