My eyes widen as I remember the clothes I’d been wearing. Now I don’t really blame Alpha Zade for getting suspicious. But he would have been able to smell it on me if anything had happened. “Just shut up and stop thinking about him,” I chastised myself, picking out the new toothbrush from the toile
FEYRE “Thank you,” my face heats at the compliment and I thank her. I haven’t realized that many people know about me. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only female beta in the world though, maybe just the most popular because of our pack being healers. “I’m Gertrude, the cook.” She motions to the sto
It is just the two of us and the kitchen is large but I feel like I’m suffocating. “You give yourself way too much credit,” this time, I make sure to spin and face him in my seat, so he can see the look on my face. His nostrils flare and his eyes darken, the ring glowing gold and showing the pres
FEYRE After Alpha Zade left, I got up and sat back in my chair, trying to look as normal as possible. Gertrude gives me a look but I shoot her a smile and dig into my pancakes trying to keep a straight face. Amazing flavors burst on my tongue and I moaned. “You don’t seem to like the alpha very m
I can hear grunts and groans from people sparring even before I get there. Our gamma, Randell, sees me first, he stops and motions for Asher who is demonstrating something to a few teenagers. He nods at them and jogs toward me, his lips stretching into a smile. “Hey Fey,” he greets, coming to hug
FEYRE “I’m not going anywhere, what are you talking about?” I ask him, sitting up and bringing my legs down. “What do you mean, ‘what am I talking about?’ You’re going to be there for a while, how do you want to work as a beta and a luna?” He gives me a look that suggests I’m crazy when he is the
“This is your way of telling me you didn’t even try, wow.” I mutter, shaking my head slowly, with so much judgment in my eyes. He squirms. “No, come on Fey. It is not like that.” he pleads, running a hand through his hair. I squint my eyes and hum under my breath, dragging it out just to get his at
FEYRE The energy in the Darkmoon pack feels different after what I experienced earlier. I check the window again after I park my car where it had been and stay in there for a lengthy moment, waiting to see the blinds move again. Nothing happened. I give up and get out of the car, convincing mys
After everyone settled and the place regained a semblance of normalcy, we gathered in the living room to talk about pressing matters. Feyre said she wanted to know everything before tonight. That way, she wouldn’t feel like there is something she has to do in her life. She wants to start on a clean
ALPHA ZADE Everything feels different when the plane lands in the private hangar. Even the air felt different, free and fresh. Feyre slept the entire ride to the packhouse. I relished holding cradling her in my arms like a precious jewel. Which she is. Alpha Asher is already waiting for our arri
If someone told me this would be my life four or five months ago, I would take them to the doctor because something had to be wrong with them. We’re here now, and I don’t think I can ever be this happy in my life. “Perfect.” Zade repeats. He grips my chin and tips my head up until I’m looking at h
FEYRE The gentle rhythm of the heart monitor is the sound I wake up to. I look around the dim lit room, sighing in relief when I note that it is NOT a hospital room. I think everyone would understand if I never wanted to be in one ever again. Soft breathing from beside me makes me smile. I push
We both stare at the gun we hadn’t noticed in alpha Lucien’s hand and Zade sighs, then he stands up, letting my hand fall off his body. “He would choose to die a coward. It is all he has ever been.” He turns and walks out of the place. I followed him without a word. When we walk out, there are mor
FEYRE Losing consciousness has become a second skin to me. That is my first thought when I wake up and find myself looking up at the ceiling. I pick myself up from the ground, craning my neck from side to side until I release the cramp. The man is still lying face down on the mattress. He looks d
I knew it was a reach but he was already on a sloppy hill, and this is the one thing I have always wanted to know, if he was the one that killed her or not. It looked like suicide, people believed she had a reason to. But I knew she wouldn’t. She promised to stand by me and she wouldn’t have left w
“It can’t be cured because it is not a fucking illness. Your delusion though, I’m sure they have mental institutions like this for that.” “Don’t speak to me like that.” he growls, sounding enraged. It is the only real emotion I have seen him shown in a while. “I had this all mapped out for years.
ALPHA ZADE I blink my eyes open, hoping everything I’m thinking right now is nothing but my imagination, or at least, a bad dream. A terrible dream where my father has me and Feyre in a crazy lab bunker. It seems too real, the déjà vu hitting me among other things. This has felt like it has happe
