The emergency alert came through at 3:17 AM, cutting through every TV channel, radio station, and cell phone in New York City.
"THIS IS AN EMERGENCY BROADCAST FROM THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION. A BIOLOGICAL CONTAMINATION EVENT IS CURRENTLY IN PROGRESS. ALL CITIZENS ARE ADVISED TO REMAIN INDOORS AND AVOID CONTACT WITH AFFECTED INDIVIDUALS."
I bolted upright from the couch where I'd been trying to sleep, my Luna senses immediately picking up the panic radiating from millions of people across the city.

He was already moving, his Alpha instincts responding to the same wrongness I felt in the air.
"What's happening?"
"I don't know. But it's big."
Tony stumbled out of his bedroom in a bathrobe, looking confused and frightened. "What's all that noise? Sounds like the whole city's going crazy."
