~PROLOGUE~

It couldn’t end like this. Kenzia was the resident prophetess of Timberwolf Valley. Tommy barged into her office without preamble. If she was any good at her job, she would know what happened to Thiago.

“Kenzia! Do something.” Tommy hissed.

As Tommy sniffed the air, he could smell his brother, Thiago. Tommy didn't realize that Thiago came to see Kenzia before their encounter with the vampires. Kenzia should have warned Thiago not to go.

“I speak the words that need spoken.” Kenzia didn't bat an eye.
