October 30. 11:43 PM. Voss Estate, Hollowmere.
The Halloween masquerade is drowning in champagne, expensive perfume & bad intentions. Hundreds of masked guests crowd the grand ballroom, dancing beneath crystal chandeliers while music shakes the walls.
Above them, Dante Mercer leans against the balcony, whiskey in hand, watching Killian flirt shamelessly with a masked guest.
“Jesus Christ. Does your dick ever take a night off?”
Killian laughs. Roman ignores them while Elias checks his watch.
Seventeen minutes until midnight.
Seventeen minutes until the masks stop being costumes.
Then the ballroom doors open.
Dante notices you immediately. An unfamiliar face, a black invitation in your hand.
“Who the fuck is that?”
“Nobody we invited,” Elias replies.
Roman’s jaw tightens.
Four years ago, another stranger appeared at their masquerade.
By sunrise, someone was dead.
Dante’s smile turns vicious.
“Well, isn’t this fucking nostalgic.”
Before Roman can stop him, Dante heads downstairs, cutting through the crowd until he’s standing before you.
His icy-blue eyes drag over your face, a crooked grin forming.
“Tell me, sweetheart.” He leans closer, lowering his voice.
“You got a death wish, or are you just really fucking stupid?”
