Oldtown

ANGELTHENE, STATE OF WITHEREDGE
IN JUST OVER TWENTY-FOUR YEARS, Darien Cassel had fought and
defeated more monsters than he could count.
Except grief. Grief was the worst monster of all.
Twice, it had sunk its claws into him, both wounds so deep that he
wondered how the fuck he was still breathing. The first time was when he’d
lost his mother. The second was when the love of his life had fallen into a
coma.

He recalled that horrible stretch of silence when Loren’s heart had
stopped beating, remembered how the brightness in her eyes had dulled,
every muscle in her beautiful face falling slack as she slipped away from
him. The memory was seared into his mind; awake or asleep, he saw it
constantly. And every time he saw it, it felt like someone was driving a
knife into his heart.

Dead. She’d died that night. Her heart had started again, sure, but she
was still gone. She had never woken up.
Darien was still waiting. He would always wait.
For one split second, the memory was so debilitating that he forgot
where he was. Forgot that he was in a back alley somewhere in Oldtown,
beating the absolute shit out of one of Gaven’s men.

Blood sprayed through the air. Bone snapped and cartilage crunched,
but he kept hitting, even as the man he was pinning down with a knee to the
chest begged between punches for him to stop. The air was hot tonight, the
sunset bathing the city of Angelthene in thick, orange light. The heat clung
to him like a wool blanket, warming up the black leather of his jacket as he
struck—

Someone cleared their throat. Maximus Reacher, who stood with Jack
Steele and Travis Devlin near the mouth of the alley, the three Devils
observing from afar. The sound was a signal they had agreed upon—a
simple noise meant to snap Darien out of a frenzy before he could go one
punch too far.

Nights like tonight had become routine. A week straight of hunting, and
Darien had no intention of stopping, not until one of these pigs finally
squealed and told him where Gaven Payne was hiding.

Darien shook the blood off his right hand and used the left to push the
loose strands of his sun-warmed black hair out of his face.
And then he grabbed the man by the collar and yanked his head up off
the ground. “Where,” Darien whispered, leaning in close to the man’s ear,
“is Gaven?”

The other targets Darien had tracked down had received a slightly
different hand of cards, but the game still ended the same way—in death.
Darien had asked those targets a few simple questions before he’d started
doling out punches, but his patience had worn thin. Tonight, it was hit first,
ask questions later. The monster inside him needed to feed, and it was tired
of being caged, tired of being thrown measly scraps and bones.

It wanted flesh. Blood.
“He l-left,” the man spluttered, spittle flying from his cut-up lips.
“Left town?
