He exhales loudly. “Okay. How do I do it?” “Think of shifting,” he goes silent. I clear my mind of every thought, every worry. The possibility of actually never getting out of here, of the people behind this getting away with it. I don’t let myself think of them at the moment. I relax my body and
ALPHA ZADE Joel is impressively fast on his feet. I have to say I’m surprised by his ability to use a gun and fight his way through the men coming at him. I have always been better with my hands. To me, feeling the blood between my fingers and watching their body go cold is almost as good as the
And hunters are all over the place. The people here don’t just seem like hunters. I’ll get to the bottom of that mystery later. We already have so many questions with very little answers. I take a step forward, coming close to the now makeshift entryway on the wall. Before I could get close enough
FEYRE Someone grabs my two hands and pulls me up. I sit up but I don’t fully stand on my feet, I’m still feeling a little dizzy and like I would fall in the next second. “Easy there,” the male voice said. It sounded familiar. My head snaps in the direction of the person whose shadow was hiding t
ALPHA ZADE My first instinct was to pull the asshole’s heart out and watch him die, and for the last person he sees to be me. He doesn’t flinch as I lunge for him. I first take out the two men standing, leaving him unprotected. I know how cowards like him function, they are nothing without their
“What the fuck is this?” I snapped at the man I trusted with my life. “Saw her in their little rescue ground and I had to see if she was as gullible as she looked. She is.” he chuckles lowly. “Told her we were coming to save you and she came running like the perfect little Robinhood to save her lov
FEYRE “No!” I scream, pushing the hand holding me back away as I try to run to Zade when I see his body slump to the ground with a hard thud. That has got to hurt just from the sound he made when he collided with the floor. “Stay still.” The crazy man holding me back commands harshly. I ignore
“If you make me repeat myself, Feyre. You’re not going to like me.” I consider his threatening tone. I also think of the last doctor and what he did to me for defying him. I remind myself of how satisfying it was when I finally killed him. Whatever this man thinks he is doing, he is going to have o
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
