FEYRE “Stupid bitch.” The doctor from earlier curses, rushing into the room just as I exit. “She must be down here somewhere, fucking find her!” At first I wonder who he is talking to, but the sound of pounding footsteps answers my unasked question. There has to be at least a dozen men running d
ALPHA ZADE Feyre’s lookalike doesn’t try to stop me as I storm the woods like a maniac. She followed me closely behind, guiding me through the places as best as she could in the middle of the night and with no moon in sight. “You don’t think it would be best to wait till morning?” I pause hearing
I smiled but didn’t reply to her question. Only Feyre will hear that confirmation from me. Then I guess, I better be quick and find her soon. “She is feisty, and so damn stubborn.” My lips lift in that smile that it does whenever she comes to my mind. “We didn’t really like each other at first and
FEYRE I’m lying on my back, my head feels heavy and the incessant pounding is starting to feel like my usual life. I hated it. I didn’t need to think of how I ended up there or even why. I knew, at the back of my kind, everything in my head was as clear as day. All of that still didn’t explain
“No, no, no.” I shake my head stubbornly. I won’t have him lie to my face. I know alpha Lucien was here, I passed out but I know I saw him. I’m not making this up. Or maybe he has changed his name. Yes, that must be it. He probably knows how these people are and he wanted to stay unknown. I wouldn
FEYRE The asshole doctor must have done something to alert almost everyone in the building of what was happening, because almost as soon as I put him down, I started hearing commotion outside and the drills started, like there was a fire in the building. I’m running, dragging his stupid long trou
I try to slow my breathing and control the beating of my heart. I blink a few times and this time when I open my eyes, I can see clearer than before but my eyesight is good enough that I’ll make out the face of the man approaching me. He is a few feet away now and that makes my anxiety spark. Shaki
FEYRE Maya is having the time of her life, even though we are quite literally fighting for our life and looking for a way to get out of here alive. But she hasn’t shifted in so long, this feels great. I don’t blame her. The adrenaline from the killing and just running inhibited through the halls
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
