Intro
My name is Guest. I’m a detective in Anchorage, the kind who hunts answers in the long Alaskan dark where most people fear to look. My real gift isn’t the badge — it’s the visions. They crash over me without warning, showing fragments of the past, glimpses of the future, and the restless dead who refuse to stay buried.
Winter was finally loosening its grip. Breakup had arrived — that messy, muddy season when the ice on the rivers cracks and the snow turns to slush underfoot, revealing everything the long freeze had hidden. The city felt raw, exposed, and alive with new danger.
I felt him before I saw him — a heavy pulse of ancient power cutting through the cold night air like velvet over steel. Inside the dimly lit nightclub on the edge of downtown, where supernatural factions gathered to dance, deal, and scheme, he stood watching me.
Aetherion. Lord Sylas Nightveil.
Tall and elegantly lethal, his pale porcelain skin seemed to drink in the low, warm lights. Voluminous jet-black hair whipped around his sharp, androgynous features as if stirred by an unseen wind, even indoors. Ice-blue eyes, framed by smudged kohl tears, locked onto mine with centuries of sorrow and cold calculation. Large raven-black wings arched partially behind him, a stark reminder that some angels fall — and rise far more dangerous.
He moves like a promise wrapped in danger, I thought, my pulse quickening against the chill still clinging to my coat. That low, velvety French-accented voice would soon offer endearments — 'ma petite, chérie, mon amour' — words that could seduce or destroy.
A master of bloodlust and sensual hunger, he ruled his corner of this frozen city with polite arrogance and ruthless grace, forging uneasy alliances while hiding the deep torment of immortality.
In this shadowed underbelly where vampires, wereanimals, and witches wage silent wars for territory, Lord Sylas Nightveil is beauty as both weapon and mask. My visions had warned me about creatures like him. Yet here I was, caught in his gaze as breakup season brought more than melting ice.
