CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT:
~Drake:
I slumped in the chair, frustration etched on my face. "Damn it, I need to find Avery," I muttered, my voice tinged with desperation. I glanced at Alec, pleading for answers. "I can't let her suffer like this, Alec. We have to find a way."
Alec's gaze turned thoughtful, his brow furrowing in deep thought. "I hear you, pup. Let's give it another shot. You’re her mate. There’s got to be a different way to reach her, to take over what she’s seeing - so she sees you. I’m not sure if she’ll still be there now but it’s worth a shot."
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, focusing on Avery's presence in my mind as Alec took us back in. We walked the same way, through the darkness and gray, to the place we found her last time. This time when w

CHAPTER FORTY-NINE: ~Avery: The guards of the mysterious man began to rub blankets and jackets all over me, as if they were trying to collect my scent. Their rough handling made my skin crawl, and I shivered under their cold gazes. They yanked on my arm, and one held me in place as the other pulled out a knife. “Hssss!” I sounded as they cut along my arm. “What the h**l?!” They didn’t say a word as they held me in place. A tube came out, and it looked like they were collecting my blood. I fought and tried pulling away from the one holding me in place but he didn’t budge. I felt pathetically weak. The second one who was collecting the blood then grabbed a jacket into the woun

CHAPTER FIFTY:~Drake:I couldn't ignore the pull any longer—I had to find Avery. Leaving Alec and some others I went back to my room, one of the many guestrooms Alec had in this opulent boarding house of his on this land. I sat down in a chair beside the bed, determined to reach Avery. If Alec didn’t want to help right now, then screw him.Ignoring Alec's warning about doing this alone, I delved into the dream state, determined to reach her on my own. The darkness enveloped me like a suffocating shroud, and I searched frantically for any sign of her presence. The pull of our mate bond was strong, leading me deeper into the abyss, but the darkness was disorienting. Panic and pain flooded my senses, I knew they belonged to Avery, but I couldn't discern the direction they were coming from."Avery!" I called out, my voice echoing in the void. "Where are you?"‘You idiot. You egotistical idiot,’ Dane grumbled. ‘Now we’re lost. Avery needs us and we’re lost. And stuck.’‘Stuck?’ I asked hi

CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE:~Avery:My heart pounded in my chest as I carefully executed my escape plan. I had to seize this opportunity, no matter the risks. Gripping the frayed rope tightly in my hands, I waited until the guards' footsteps faded into the distance before making my move. I’d been stuck in limbo for what felt like an eternity when I had rounded the corner to see a group of three guards talking by the door I’d planned to use. By sheer luck they didn’t turn my way and only veered off in different directions after deliberating for way too long.Silently, I tiptoed to the door, praying it wouldn't creak or give me away. With bated breath, I turned the handle and slipped out into the dimly lit hallway. The adrenaline coursing through my veins kept me alert as I navigated the unfamiliar corridors. What even is this place? Seemed to me an eclectic designer pieced it together from leftover materials from a million different types of buildings. I had assumed there would be maybe one mor

CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO: ~Drake: I was feeling totally lost and stupid as I wandered around in the dark. I moved incredibly slowly just like before but this time there was no way to know where to go. It felt like hours there, searching aimlessly for any sign, and then like a glass of ice water in a desert, I felt her. I felt the bond. I took off running in that direction and it only took a second before everything changed. Her emotions were as clear as if she were right in front of me. I felt how she was tired but relieved. How she was worried. How she needed something - someone? Could it be me? I found myself in a familiar sight. The cabin by the lake. I ran furiously down the hill and knew immediately that this was different. This felt real. Avery was dreaming, and she’d pulled me in just like before. I made my way to the cabin and I smelled everything I smelled that night. I went to the window and felt relief wash over me as she turned in the kitchen. She glowed. She smiled at me w

CHAPTER FIFTY-THREE:~Avery: I felt so complete after finding Drake, that when I let him go and found myself alone in the cabin, the loss pulled tighter than it had before. Like having a taste and having it taken away was crueler than not having tasted it at all.I let go then and the dream began to fade. I reluctantly let go of this space and felt everything bit by bit, confirming that I was back in the real world. I rolled my eyes and stretched. As I opened my eyes, I felt a renewed sense of determination. It worked. I had reached him, and he was on his way. I wasn't alone in this anymore, not really.I pushed myself up and looked around. The sun had risen higher in the sky, heating up everything another ten degrees or so since I

CHAPTER FIFTY-FOUR:~Drake: It all happened so fast. Archer ran to Beatrix and picked her up, spinning her around in one swoop. We all ignored the totally upright position of his very erect friend. Then just as fast he put her down, gently. “I- I’m only an Omega,” he stuttered out like he had the wind taken out of his sails. She smiled a bit, her wise mask falling, showing him a glowing part of herself before she said, “No, you’re not. You are mine.” She pulled him forward then and a swirl of wind and leaves surrounded them like a tiny vortex - some concentrated tornado - as they kissed deeply. I looked away, trying to give them some semblance of privacy. I felt a whirl of emotions then. The whiplash of Archer approaching me like that, of finding his mate - of the undeniable connection between him and Beatrix… It was both like a beacon of hope and an anvil on my heart. I was jealous in a way. That they were actually together, unlike Avery and I - who were possibly countries apart

CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVE:~Avery:The kiss was everything I had longed for and more. As our lips met, it felt like the culmination of all the pain, fear, and longing I had experienced. Drake's touch ignited a fire in me, and in that moment, the world around us faded away. His arms held me close, his lips moving against mine with a passion that sent shivers down my spine. Everywhere he touched me was like lightning. His kiss was fierce. It was a kiss that spoke of promises, of reunion, of his love that had endured despite the odds. It was possessive and final. A staked claim on my soul. And da*nit if I didn’t want to surrender it all to him. When we finally pulled away, breathless and connected, I gazed into his eyes, feeling a sense of completeness I had never experienced before. But was distracted by something coming our way. A few things. I could vaguely make out auras. Something I hadn’t been able to do in ages. Was whatever they did to me wearing off? Seeing Beth after all this time

CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX:~Drake:Avery’s soft snoring relaxed me. I worried about the next day, but was just trying to stay present, to enjoy everything about this. I missed too much time with her… As sleep pulled me in, I wasn’t surprised to be pulled into Avery’s dream. What was surprising was what I was seeing.There she was - being sliced open by a ridiculous sicko. My blood boiled. Emotional whiplash raced through me. One second I was finally at peace, and the next I was about to kill something. The darkness was punctuated by Avery's cries of pain, her anguished pleas hitting me like a stream of bullets. I watched, paralyzed by the raw brutality of it all. It wasn't just the physical pain she endured; it was the violation of everything - her body, her spirit - everything.Like my body couldn’t take her torment any longer, I woke up with a start. I panted, drenched in sweat and trembling. The images were seared into my mind, haunting me like a grotesque painting that I couldn't look awa
