Zeke's POV
She stood boldly, copper hair wild around her face, ruby markings glowing beneath her skin. In her hand, something sparkled – a charm.
For a moment, I just stared. This was my goal. The dangerous Ruby Wolf I'd been trained to catch or kill. Yet something about her face struck me as familiar, like looking at my own image but... different.
"Where did she go?" Caius demanded.
"I don't know," the girl – Sienna – answered, closing her hand around the amulet.
I stepped forward, making both turn.
"Another one?" Caius growled, fangs extending.
Sienna's eyes widened as she took me in. I felt her gaze catch on my face, pausing with confusion.
Before any of us could speak, the roof above cracked. Plaster rained down as a massive weight crashed through, followed by a Syndicate elite soldier – one of the magically enhanced fighters saved for special targets.
He landed between us, faceless behind his mask, twin blades glowing with magical runes.
