Summary
“I’ll play fair. Name your price.”
“Wraith, I’m not gambling to keep a phone number.”
Wraith snickered, “You make it sound like it’s a big deal.”
It could be useful to get closer to her. If she was going to utilize tactics to avoid Haze getting into her mind, then maybe by inching closer, she’d manipulate her to let her guard down.
Haze reached forward, roughly tugging Wraith by the suit chain clipped to her collar. “Fine.”
“Woah— Hey, hey. Don’t break it...!”
“I said fine, Wraith. Give me the stupid card.”

Summary
Doorman was just beginning to realize the depth of human emotions, only to lose his grasp on them the moment Mina Ha stepped into The Baroness. Existing as a patron offered him many passages in his unending life. Never daring to change his godly ways would be a waste and a burden on his own conscious. For the first time in decades, he allowed himself to become attached to another being. A jaw-droppingly eccentric vampire.
Not all good things last forever. As he reminded himself consistently, old habits die hard.
When Mina stumbled upon her ex-fiancé, Arin Fairfax, she can't cope with the fact that they are still alive. Though their true name is shrouded in shadows, their existence as Pocket still burdens her. What does Mina do with this burden? She does what any fledgling vampire would - she takes control. A fledgling and her thrall, entwined in terrible history and destined to unravel until one of them breaks.

Summary
Darcy Graves knows Apollo. His confidence in doing anything, even if that confidence is unfounded, is a key feature of him—even if they are failing a lab. So when she overheard him talking about the ritual, how he's not ready for this one, and how he should be a good student and not do anything that could get his family in hot waters internationally, even if there was a god granting a wish for anything... She knew he was lying, and probably anyone who heard him as well. Luckily for him, No one would rat him out.
Luckily for her.... She could hopefully get some help in preparing for the ritual from him.

Summary
Mina crosses her arms and leans back against the wall, watching silently as Pocket places the cigarette between their lips and rolls their thumb across the flint. With a micro shower of sparks, they light the end and breathe life into this evening’s treat.
“So why did you actually come tonight?” Mina asks. Her tone is scalpel-sharp and equally precise. She aims to separate Pocket from the truth. Pocket can feel themself squirm.
“I wanted to talk to you,” they say earnestly.The vampire squints at Pocket. “Get in line.”

Summary
“So chivalrous. I bet this is how you get all the girls,” Silver let herself be walked down the street. She had a job to get to, but maybe she’d get going once the street decided to stop spinning. Her head lolled over towards Holliday’s neck and took a deep breath. The pretty sheriff smelled good—gunpowder, sweat, and tobacco. Her favorites.
“Uh oh,” she smiled dopily. Her fluffy tail began to wag.
“What?” Holliday’s eyes snapped up, looking for danger. Her free hand was already on her pistol.
“The beast got a whiff of you. And she liiikes it,” Silver said in a sing-song voice. “Time to let her out, ‘m afraid.”
“What? No, no no no, Silver!”

It’s late at night in the cursed apple and Holliday has a drunk werewolf on her hands. What’s a sheriff to do?
