FEYRE I’ve heard multiple women talk about this pain. Heat. They taught us about it in high school. I remember laughing as the teacher explained how it would be. What it would feel like. Most of the girls in my class thought it would never happen to them. Because no one ever thinks they will m
FEYRE The whirring of the engine from the plane has my full attention. I’ve decided it was safer than letting the thoughts of the man across from me fill my mind. He was already everywhere else. I needed some sort of respite. My body had been bad last night, which resulted in us delaying our fli
ALPHA ZADE Feyre nodded off to sleep soon after she ate lunch. She had argued that she wasn’t hungry and I’m bossy after the air hostess brought it over. But mere seconds later, she had completely devoured the sushi. When I wanted to speak, she glared at me and told me to mind my business. She wa
ALPHA ZADE My first thought was Feyre. Lying there, sleeping peacefully, and a part of me that didn't want to wake her up. In my head, I handled this wreck, I stopped the plane from free falling to more than thirty thousand feet into unknown territory. I don’t even know where the fuck we are. But
FEYRE Zade is crazy. Insane! He is fucking insane if he thinks I am going to jump out of an airplane. With him no less. It was nice of him to help me with my panic attack, something I hope he forgets the second we get out of this deathtrap. But that doesn't mean I'll jump out of a plane with him
ALPHA ZADE My eyes do a quick scan of the cockpit, taking note of everything. We are less than ten thousand feet from the ground, and if we’re going to get out of this plane before it sinks into the ocean, then the time to get off is right now. I drag Feyre’s hand and pull her out of the cockpit
FEYRE This is crazy. Zade is crazy. But this is also the most fun I’ve had since…well, since forever. I never thought I would willingly jump out of a plane, to be honest, even getting me on it is hard enough. But this feels great. And I'm glad I got to do it with him. Zade nibbles on my lower l
“What are you going to do about the plane?” We have been walking for a few minutes now, though we haven’t come across anyone or frankly, any sign of life. “Hope they all die.” “Okay…” I mumble, for the lack of better words. “That way,” he continues nonchalantly. “I can surprise the council with m
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
