knocked on the door to the room that Aiden and Aira had taken; they were supposed to go on to their honeymoon later in the day, but they hadn’t wanted to make the long trek right after the wedding and reception. The door opened in an instant, Aiden pulling it wide to let Dylan in. Aira was seated on the edge of the bed, her face in her hands. “This is… I can’t even imagine it,” Aira said, her voice breaking.
“Casualties?” Dylan asked his brother. Aiden grimaced.
“Five dead, twenty wounded. A few are in critical condition.” Dylan sat down heavily, taking a deep breath.
“So they’re not just content to come up against Aira anymore—this is the start of a war.” Aiden nodded slowly, sitting down next to Aira on the bed and taking one of her hands.
“We’ll have to find out who was behind it, get them in custody…they’re going to have to be put to death for this. It’s too much. The Elders are working hard to take care of the evidence.” Aira sniffed, scrubbing at her face with her free hand.
“They killed five people and injured twenty just to get to me,” she said, shaking her head. “Whoever was involved in this, they are a danger to us all. They’re willing to expose us to the rest of the world just to try and depose me.” Aira looked at Dylan, and Dylan could see the sadness in her eyes. She hated to condemn anyone—but she would do it, if it was required. All Dylan could think of was that Leigh might have been involved. Leigh might end up on the list of people who would have to be put to death.

ABOUT LARISSA LADD
Larissa Ladd is a dreamer with insights fresh as the frost newly formed on the twig whose snap echoes through the moonlit forest. Since as a child she discovered the storybook world of ghouls and goblins, she's been a devotee of the eerie, the supernatural, and all that raises the hairs on the back of the neck. Her spine still shivers with delight when she huddles fearfully in a darkling corner, enthralled in suspenseful tales from her favorite authors Dean Koontz, Stephen King, and John Saul. Feast your eyes on the scintillating flashes of garish color dabbed forth from her pen.
