FEYRE These men really have nothing better to do with their time. I’ve lost count of how many hours we have been here since I woke up and found myself tied to the chair again. No more words have been said and neither of them have tried to make a move to leave. As far as my eyes could see at least
When I was tied up in a room with many alphas that could break me in a second if they wanted, I didn’t shake. Why the hell should I when I know this is Zade? “Are you okay?” I hear an unfamiliar voice ask. My brows furrow and I try to hide my disappointment that it is not Zade when I nod. Then I t
ALPHA ZADE It was a split-second decision. One that I knew would change my life forever, but I didn’t care. Feyre was on the line. The whole world comes after her and I would burn it down if she was feeling cold and that was the only way to bring her warmth. I didn’t care that it was irrational.
FEYRE My throat works as I swallow, my eyes still fixed on Zade’s. His eyes are flashing with the presence of his wolf, and I may be thinking this because I haven’t had anything to drink or eat in the past forty eight, or more hours, but he looked like the most beautiful thing in the world. There
FEYRE I didn’t think the council had a leader. A single leader, that is, I thought it was like a board of leaders. Maybe board of directors or something. Since alphas didn’t take orders well, it never occurred to me that there was someone who called the shots. “You bastard!” one of the angry men
ALPHA ZADE I didn’t have the heart to take off Feyre’s dress at first. I felt too guilty for putting her in that situation, knowing the council only took interest in her because they wanted to get to me. In the end, I decided she would be uncomfortable in it and that was what made me undress her
ALPHA ZADE I didn’t care to ask Trevor what ended up happening with the council. I believed we would discuss it later over a drink before the full moon run. He sent a message asking as such and I said yes. I couldn’t help giving Feyre what she wanted. Even if it annoyed me and made me jealous.
Now that I know how that feels, I almost felt guilty for pulling him away from her. I make a mental note to give him a few days off when we get back to the pack. All the guys even, they needed it. They did their best, working nonstop and without sleep for Feyre. I loved their dedication to her, ev
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
