When Samantha's vision cleared, she found herself suspended in a void of pure energy. Every supernatural power within reach poured into her at once. Wolf. Hybrid. Shifter. Vampire. Ancient magic. They all fought to dominate her consciousness.
Through the chaos, she glimpsed the others. Marcus's form kept shifting violently between vampire and wolf, neither side able to win. His usually controlled features contorted as both natures tried to take over at once. Black veins spread across his skin, his eyes flashing between blood red and wolf gold.
Kai had partially shifted, but wrong—fur sprouting in patches, bones cracking as they tried to reshape themselves over and over. His wolf form couldn't stabilize, caught between human and beast.
Maya and Lucas weren't faring better. Their leopard forms bled into each other like watercolors, their normally precise shifts turned chaotic and painful.
