 Preface
 
 Spectra
 
 
 
 
 I am the daughter of the Archangel Michael, and therefore, the only female Angelis walking the earth. I didn’t know I was anything more than human until I was nineteen, and then assumed I was a low-ranked Nephilim.
 Since Michael didn’t stick around to be a daddy, I wasn’t trained as a child. While I could syphon naturally without realising what I was doing, shielding has been a steep learning curve. One recently achieved by facing my greatest fear.
 When I was eighteen, I died. Thankfully, the soul remains with the body for three days. Before I could convert, my best friend, Alexander Williams—sorcerer and now L’Ordre of the Nachtwelt—enlisted the help of another Angelis to save me. When he did, Alexander tied part of my soul to his, binding us in a way that draws us like magnets to be together. The only way to save me was to bring me back as a Wraith. A ghost who can take corporeal form.
 I am an Angelis, a Wraith, an untrained balance, and an orphan.
 That’s what I am. It’s not who I am.

 "It's this way."
 Miranda led the way into the basement of the Essence safe house. Her flame-red hair had regained its luster and her face its flawless complexion after a good feed.
 "I called you as soon as I got away, so it's been just over three hours,” Miranda reported. "Bay's people searched the building after getting Spectra out, but they didn't take Paul Samus."
 "Bay knows better," Nika grumbled.
 "Bay wasn't here," Miranda clarified. "He took off when I came to get her."
 Miranda looked over her shoulder at her beautiful sister. Nika’s grass-green eyes were livid. Miranda needed to defuse the situation, or more blood would be spilled before the night ended. "Gina can fill us in with that later. Spectra's alive; let's just focus on keeping her that way."
 Nika nodded. Miranda explained her cover had been blown by the very situation they'd set up to try and protect Spectra. Miranda's idea had been to get Spectra employed at Bay's security company, Pendant, and away from the Nachtwelt Security Intelligence Office, but Nika signed off on it.
 The first clue Nika had to Spectra being anything but human, was when Spectra was eighteen, lying dead in a morgue.
 Nika stood there looking over the corpse of the person she'd vowed to protect when Spectra started exhaling everything out of her lungs in a cry of pain.
 Nika, wide-eyed, concerned she'd been taken, checked for a pulse. Nika's eyes grew bigger when her hand passed through Spectra's skin. The loud pounding of feet stampeding the corridor forced Nika to retreat. Pulling the hood over her head, she passed Alexander Williams in the hall as he raced to reach Spectra.
 As Nika reached the exit, another hooded cloak stood blocking the door. Nika cursed beneath her breath. She didn't need to see his face to know who it was. She knew this Angelis by his sweet sugary smell of caramel. Just like his skin and
