I force myself to push that memory away. It is one of the times she was well enough to stay and chat with me, the few times since I was a kid that she smiled without tears in her eyes. I miss those days. I miss her even more. I swallow the lump forming in my throat and blink a few times. She alway
FEYRE The sight of Alpha Zade makes my breath catch in my throat. I tell myself the reaction is because this is the first time I’m seeing him since our hallway run in—another memory I’m trying to convince myself never happened—and not because of how his dark hair looks tousled. Definitely as a res
“For the advice and the save.” I add and he chuckles. He turns slightly, someone calls out to him and I can’t help it, I watch him. His sideview is as magnificent as his front, the sight of his strong looking jaw. This stranger is all man and I have never been more interested in learning about the
ALPHA ZADE Feyre’s words struck me in a place I never thought possible. A growl rips from my chest before I have a chance to control my reaction to her words. My wolf is upset by the words she said and he wants to put her in her place, show her that she could be everything he wanted. I still have
“How is the mate?” he inclines his head toward her. I refuse to face her, feeling like I’m letting her win by doing that. “I want her to leave,” he opened his mouth to speak but I cut him off. “Real soon and I’m going to make it happen,” I walk away from him with those words. I hear his footsteps
FEYRE I keep to myself while I stand in the kitchen, ignoring Alpha Zade as much as I can. He ignores me too and keeps doing whatever he is doing by the sink on the opposite side of the counter. Probably poisoning things or whatever. I don’t care. I stand in my position, trying to figure out whe
FEYRE Revenge has a way of making you feel on top of the world and all your problems will just disappear. Not really disappearing but I felt light, knowing I've pissed off Alpha Zade. I slept great last night, with a smile on my face. It felt like I was floating on clouds or something equally drea
FEYRE I quickly push off Damien’s shoulders. He chuckles, raising his hands up in surrender. I stand straight and put on a pleasing smile on my face, trying to steady my beating heart. I have no idea why I respond to him this way when I shouldn’t feel anything. “Just kidding,” he adds, still chuc
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
