FEYRE “Do I really have to go?” I make puppy dog eyes at alpha Lucien. I feel like an idiot but after braving it with Alpha Zade yesterday and then going back to my room and being unable to sleep because he was on my mind. I’d reached a new low when I allowed my hand to trail down and slipped int
“Yeah, yeah.” I add, sounding less than excited about this trip. When I was going with Asher, I was actually enthusiastic and even looking forward to it. Now though, I would rather die than have to attend. “Dylan is coming here to escort you back to your room,” I nod my thanks at Alpha Lucien. I’
ALPHA ZADE I shouldn’t have stayed when she asked me to, she was drunk so she obviously didn’t know what she was doing. I was annoyed that she went and got drunk, when Dylan explained what had actually happened, I was more annoyed because of course, my father. It is always that fucking man. The
FEYRE I knew I wasn’t in my bed the second my eyes opened. I wasn’t in my room in my old pack and neither was I in my room in the Darkmoon pack. What the hell happened? I opened my eyes but immediately regretted it when the bright lights attacked me. I closed it back and breathed out, then waited
FEYRE I didn’t actually wait to see what Alpha Zade would do. I ran out of the room like a bat from hell and locked myself in my room after I got there. It wasn’t one of my finest moments but I couldn’t stay there any longer when all I could hear in my head was that growl, that sound. The feel of
ALPHA ZADE The mug clatters from my hand to the floor, shattering loudly as pieces of glass litter the floor, along with the hot coffee that is inside. “Shit.” Dylan cursed from beside me, pushing me aside. “What’s up with you this morning?!” He curses again, handing me a wet towel and pointing t
FEYRE I didn’t know if to clap myself on the back for being brave or smack myself across the face for being stupid and still going through with this summit trip. I could have come up with an excuse. I’m almost dying, or they need me back in my pack and it is urgent, but I didn’t. I let my pride w
ALPHA ZADE Cassian growled in my head trying to take control, I shoved him to the back of my mind which only made him angrier and he growled again. I looked away from the woman who had her eyebrow cocked, as if she was daring me to do anything. Cassian tried pushing to the front of my mind again,
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
