I was her shadow long before I was her cage. Bound by loyalty to her family, I told myself I could keep my distance. That protecting her from the monsters in the world would be enough to satisfy my hunger for her. I was wrong. Elana Volkov thinks she's disappeared. New city. New job. New name. But I know exactly where she is. I always have. I've spent years in the shadows watching her make one reckless decision after another. And now, she hides away in a city chasing danger as though it can bring her redemption? It ends now. I don't care what lines I have to cross. She can pretend she's just another girl in a city that doesn't know her name. But she's mine to protect, even if she hates me for it.
