FEYRE Zade has to have lost his mind because there is no way he just said what I thought he did. I looked up at him, my eyes narrowed in disbelief to find he is still watching me, an expectant expression on his face. “You cannot be serious.” I breathed out a laugh. Snorting would be the right wor
I walked out of the room, closing the door behind me. I didn’t hear it open or hear his footsteps coming out. It makes a lump form in my throat and no matter how hard I try to swallow, I can’t seem to get rid of it. Resting my back against the wall, I shut my eyes and exhaled a heavy breath, trying
ALPHA ZADE I growled at nothing in particular, wishing there was a way I could take back all that I said in the last five minutes, find the words in my mind and burn them in the nearest fire pit. Cassian has shoved me out and is giving me the silent treatment. He thought he was right and that I am
FEYRE I had a drink, or two, or three, with the man from the elevator. His name is William and he is from a pack in London, I did say he wasn’t from here. He’d laughed when I mentioned it. Really, any girl would swoon when she heard his accent. His company was good and he had a great humor but s
FEYRE Zade escorted me out of the bar without a word, he just told his cousin—I’m still in shock of that—he would see him later, and then thanked him for taking care of me for him. Those were his exact words and I wanted to argue. I wasn’t his property and I can take care of myself. Seeing we had
FEYRE “I appreciate your honesty.” I tell Zade, my tone as dry as I could manage it to be. He stays looking at me for a moment longer than would be considered normal before nodding and moving back. He pressed a button and the elevator doors opened. My eyes flew up to him but he just nodded for me
FEYRE About thirty minutes later, Zade walked into the room carrying a garment bag and another box in his hand, along with a shopping bag. He looked funny for some reason but I managed to keep my face blank as he wrestled to hold everything in one hand, open the door and close it back without any
ALPHA ZADE She is going to be the death of me. she was made to torture me and damn if she isn’t doing it to the best of her ability. I’m never going to get the image of her in that matching bra and panties out of my head, no matter how many times and I try to push it to the back of my mind. It is
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
