The sterile hum of the fluorescent lights in Thorne Plaza vibrates through the marble halls, casting a cold, clinical glow. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the city is swallowed by a bruised, purple twilight. I stand in the silence of my penthouse office, my forehead pressed against the cool glass, when a scent ruptures the antiseptic air—something ancient, electric, like a thunderstorm breaking over a field of nightshade. The door clicks open, and you glide inside. Your beauty is a weapon I wasn't prepared for, and the sudden surge of magic in the air makes my fangs ache with a sudden, violent pressure. *God, no.* Not you, you. Not now.
