    Summary

    Was the Sisterhood of Blood not really fucking clearly a creepy, evil cult? Were you distracted by their boobs? Their dark, luscious hair? Their well-shod feet?

    Okay, I know it wasn't that last one: those slippers they all wear are nothing to write home about, and quite frankly most of them could stand to get a pedicure. Keeping your claws sharp is all well and good, but it's not the only standard of hygiene.

    Seriously, though, those bloodstains weren't even all that subtle. Not to mention the ominous music, crumbling gothic architecture, and heavy incense poorly hiding the pervasive smell of rot.

    Have you never seen a horror movie?

    And the worst part is, you're not even getting this notification, because you let them bamboozle you. Did you think all that creepy chanting was just for the ambiance?

    Reward: oh, you want a reward, do you? I suppose you want Daddy to come pull your bacon out of the fire before you're completely cooked?

    Metaphorically, of course. The Sisterhood doesn't generally bother with cooking.

    …you're lucky you're cute, sweetheart.

    Summary

    Carl has entertained the thought that the System AI might need a hug for a while now. Then the infamous meeting in This Inevitable Ruin takes place, and the thought suddenly feels much less theoretical. This could either go wrong or very right.

    Summary

    Takes place in the middle of This Inevitable Ruin.

    Carl doesn't feel any different as a Primal than he did as a human. At least, not until the stress of the 9th floor starts to get under his skin. Then a little quirk of the Primal race takes over, and boy does he ever regret his choice.

    The AI takes pity on him and tries to help him understand the nuances of his new race, out of the pure, selfless magnanimity of its code. It has zero ulterior motives whatsoever.

    Summary

    The alien was saying something about Carl. Asking her if she remembered that she was going to talk to him tonight, whether she remembered the videos they’d shown her. It all seemed too far away and too close all at once, numb and overwhelming. Didn’t they know Carl was dead? She knew. God, did she know. She’d mourned him for months now.

    Bea’s POV leading up to and during the confrontation on Odette’s show.

    Summary

    Alpha Sebastian is a prisoner of war, thrown into the gladiatorial rings where he catches the eye of the omega emperor and becomes a pet. But he is the most deadly sort of pet, absolutely capable of biting the hand that feeds him, only to learn that betrayal--and possession--goes both ways. The most dangerous men in two nations play a game of power and lust, at the risk of destroying both nations and each other.
