My familiar brings us word. Another one of my mates has their life on the line with this deadly game with the Hellhounds and the mysterious Prince of Hell. They don’t seem to know Lilith is on our side. We have our secrets too. The game strikes a little too close to home and I’m in a fighting mood. It’s time to fight back.

Both hellhounds that have been harassing me have secrets, but this one ties back to Keane and the Lilim.

Business is a cutthroat world full of backstabbers and deals. I'm looking to expand my vast wealth by getting into the real estate business. That's why I bought Darling Realty.

He shows up with an auntie at Walmart, and they offer me a job as an auntie. What are they going to do when they find out that I'm a Little?

That’s why I’m leaving our real estate company and going to work with Skye and Derek. Maybe now, I’ll finally be able to live my own life.

They didn't tell me his brother was coming, though.

I hate being invisible…No matter where I go or who I see, everyone always seems to overlook me. It's like I'm cursed. The only one who has ever believed in me is my boss.
