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
FEYRE I smile awkwardly and move out of Damien’s hold, not for anything but because I liked the way he was holding me, a little too much if I’m being honest. “Shall we?” he motions, that boyish smile lighting his face. I feel my cheeks heat and it takes everything in me to not bring my hand up and
ALPHA ZADE I’ve been in a shitty mood since I woke up, only to go to the kitchen and find out she gave out my peanut butter and jam. Like that is not enough to ruin my morning, my father had to come and start spewing shit like he usually does. The conversation ended with me slamming the door in h
“I am not having this conversation.” I shove his face so he is facing the dash and not me. We look like a teenage couple arguing and I can’t have that. He moves my hand from his face and glares at me. “What are you going on about?” he asks again, this time sounding impatient. “I said I’m not havi
FEYRE Dylan and I don’t make it to three steps before his alpha’s imposing presence fills the small place, crowding it with all of his negative energy and large body. The place quieted down almost immediately and seeing that, the effect he has on people, how he commands them with just his presence
FEYRE At first I didn't understand what Alpha Zade was talking about but when I looked up, my breath hooked in my throat and my eyes widened. I don’t know how I didn't make the connections before but now that he pointed it out, i felt like an idiot. How could I miss it when it was so freakin’ obv
“The first rule you should know about this game is,” he positions his lips right beside my ear. Goosebumps rise along my hand, he doesn’t say anything about me holding my breath, he just keeps going like he gives zero fucks. “I am always a step ahead. And this is my pack, my people. Don’t forget th
ALPHA ZADE I thought I did a good job of keeping my temper at bay after I saw Feyre in the club. I’d told Damien to mess with her, not this. For whatever reason he thought this was a good idea is beyond me and as soon as I leave her, I’m going to find him to fucking deal with hm. What the hell wa
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
