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
The third guy who was standing behind doesn’t do anything, I can already see he has given up. It is taking him longer to stop his hands from shaking and do anything. I do him a favor and jump on him, when he falls, I bite into his neck and pull, killing him instantly. The others start coming and I
FEYRE I land on my feet. It takes a second for everything to go back to normal and I feel grounded. I regain feeling in every part of me at once and the pain shoots down my spine. I shake it off and growl. Looking around me, I try to decide where to follow that will be more discreet and lead me
I can feel blood dripping down it and I’m losing strength. I have slowed significantly but I’m almost at the gates now and I need to jump. ‘Not like this. We can’t. I can’t.’ her voice sounds low. I keep pushing because I can’t give up. I won’t let them kill me after all that has happened. If I’m
ALPHA ZADE We’ve searched all the possible places Jennifer thought Feyre might be if anyone found her. When we got to her little cabin in the woods. It is sort of in between the main city and the other side of the beach. She said she didn’t like being seen by the people because of the hunters. Th
I accept the handshake with a forced smile. It had nothing to do with the guy and everything to do with what is happening with me. “Nice to meet you.” I forced the words out, standing up. “Pleasure is all mine, man. Jen’s told me all about you, I’m glad she has made another friend apart from me in
ALPHA ZADE I didn’t realize how serious Joel was when he said there were people ready to bring down that lab or asylum of whatever the fuck the place was. I’d taken the shower Jennifer suggested and when I came out, there was a fresh set of clothes on the bed for me. She had made lunch too, which
I always knew thinking and fighting for something will never go hand in hand. I never did that. It is among the things that having a mate has changed for me. Usually when I’m in a dangerous situation, I don’t think of all I have to lose. I just know I’m getting out of there and that is it. Thinkin
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
