FEYRE Damien’s words made me smile. I rolled my eyes, tension that I didn’t even know formed, loosening in my stomach. “I wasn’t checking you out, don’t get all smug now.” I try to match his light tone. He laughs, throwing his head back. I feel relieved that he doesn’t seem to hold what happened
ALPHA ZADE I ran my hand through my hair, cursing under my breath before I bound up the stairs in a hurry. The only other door at the end of the hallway closes before I can get to it and I curse again. I pause outside and rap my knuckles on it three times, no reply comes. I sigh and turn, resting
ALPHA ZADE Ayda sighs and scratches behind her ears, she looks away before I get the chance to make out what I’m reading in her eyes. “I want you back there, everyone does,” I add when she still doesn’t speak more than a minute later. “I don’t think I’m ready,” she says, like she always does and
FEYRE I didn’t let myself think of how weird Alpha Zade had acted when he saw me trying to go up the stairs. Okay, I’m lying. It is all I have been able to think about for the past two days. When I’d gone to see Asher later in the day, he noticed how my head wasn’t really there but then he reache
FEYRE After Delilah told me where to find Alpha Zade, I sat and tried to convince myself it wouldn't be bad and there is nothing weird about it. As much as I tried though, there was this other voice in my head telling me it would blow up in my face. In the end, I chickened out and refused to meet
FEYRE “How has the pack been treating you?” Alpha Lucien asks, taking a sip from his Macallan. He’d invited me to drink with him after we met outside and since I didn’t have anything better to do, I agreed. It was either this or drowning in my thoughts in my room alone, either the thoughts of the
ALPHA ZADE I’d felt like ants were crawling up my skin when I was told my father had returned from his one day trip and he was with Feyre. It reminded me of his trips when my mother was alive. He was always traveling for business which equaled him meeting up with his multiple mistresses. A part
FEYRE I have an ample lot of time on my hands with nothing better to do, and I have realized I can only work out so many times before my body starts aching. I have resorted to calling Asher every day, even if I feel like I’m disrupting his work. He is too nice to mention and he always picks when
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
