FEYRE The shock doesn’t wear off for more than five minutes. In fact, it all feels like it is just a dream. I hoped it was, multiple times. But everything felt too real, the glaring lights couldn’t have been a figment of my imagination. I couldn’t dream something this crazy or wild. The man from
They give you assignments and you do it. If you do it well, you move up a rank, until you become a veteran. I can say it is like sports, if you may. It still doesn’t make me understand why I’m here, tied up. They aren’t the best people, because to make it in the council, you have to be manipulativ
ALPHA ZADE It is less than an hour to the allocated time I was supposed to get whatever the council wanted done, or rather, get who they wanted silenced, gone. I haven’t even figured out what they wanted and since they keep acting like it would kill them to go straight to the point, I have to wai
ALPHA ZADE I didn’t take Damien’s advice on what to do about Alpha Ryker and the council. Everyone seems to have his own plan and they all know I won’t just say ‘yes’ and do as they say. I have a little thing for orders, and if they didn’t need me, I’m sure they would have gotten rid of me by now.
I rechecked the time on the letter then walked to the stairs instead of using the elevator. I know how these people work. They do everything in their power to make sure you don’t do the things they want on time, and a second can determine whether you get to leave with all limbs intact or not. Even
ALPHA ZADE I didn’t stop to think as I turned around and started walking in the direction Dylan called out for me. The only thing on my mind was I was going to see Feyre, and I would rather not waste another second waiting for her. and why wait for the council to give me that information after I
And that is greatly lacking right now. The room doesn’t hold her scent as strong. The only place I could say smelled like she was there recently was the sheets, and I couldn’t lie down for more than a few minutes before my body forced me up on its own with thoughts and worries. God. Does having a m
ALPHA ZADE “My father is dead,” of all the things I expected him to say, that was the last thing that came to my head. “What?” I’m unable to keep the shock out of my voice and the kid nods. “Yeah, for a few months now.” I fight the urge to massage my temples because of all the things I have hear
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
