“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
ALPHA ZADE Damien and Dylan are seated at the VIP when I get there and it takes a great deal of patience to not knock my cousin's tooth off. All of them preferably. “That was a quick one, even for a quickie.” The idiot says, lifting his glass of brandy to his lips. “You think she’d let him hit?”
FEYRE “You’re doing great, luna.” I perk up when I hear Dylan’s voice. He waves at me, a broad smile on his face. I smile back and wave at him before turning back to the kids in front of me. “Here you go,” I hand the last cookie to the five year old girl missing her two front teeth. I didn’t ask
FEYRE “Welcome to the pack, luna, I’m sure it’ll be great to have you.” Anika smiles and waves. She takes her daughter’s hand and starts walking away but I call her. “Thank you for taking your time to do this. Please give me a second.” She looks like she wants to go but she nods and stands in her
FEYRE I ball my hands into tights fists and bite my lips, forcing my feet to stay in place and not swivel to face Alpha Zade like I know they want to. My eyes meet with Dylan’s which has humor dancing in his, his mouth twitches as he tries to keep his smile at bay. Whatever he finds funny, I don'
FEYRE We stand in a stare off for a few more seconds, none of us willing to back down and let the other win. The part of me that knows an alpha is above me wants to bend to his will and do what he says but the stubborn part of me that is sick of his shit and wants to put him in his place doesn’t s
ALPHA ZADE I always thought I had a good grasp of my control, but after being pushed to the wall one too many times by this woman, I am starting to see I’m pretty much a mere mortal like anyone else and that pisses the hell out of me. She tries to squirm but it is of no use, I let her have her fun
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
