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

CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN:~Avery: I tossed and turned for a while. Something just felt… off. But I couldn’t name what it was until I finally realized something was missing. Or I guess, someone was missing. My first thought was that he was in the bathroom. It was still dark out, and he said he wasn’t going to be separated from me again… so he couldn’t be anywhere else, right? A pit at the bottom of my heart shook. Something felt wrong, like I wanted to believe that but knew it wasn’t true. I waited, my eyes adjusting, and then it hit like a freight train. He wasn’t here. I flung the sheets off me and bolted to the front door. Outside. He had to be outside. Running, checking the perimeter like at the cabin right? My hands shook as I walked out into the cool night air. I tried scanning the area for auras but couldn’t make anything else. The familiar need to hold onto my magic gnawed at me, making the lack of magic even more stark. “Drake?” I halfheartedly whispered. “Uh,” a voice cam

CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT:~Drake: Dane pushed me to shift right as the vampires took off with the first set of guards. And in one swift movement we were in Dane’s form and pushing Avery gently behind us. ‘I can do the honors,’ Archer had just linked right before the guns appeared. ‘I think you all may want my help,’ I sent back the moment Avery was behind me. Shots went off and Avery was well hid behind our form. We turned briefly to nudge her to a smaller position behind these trees. We looked at her for a long moment as shots rang through the area around us. She nodded, seeming to understand. And then when I heard a break in their reckless firing I charged out. Yes, a huge gamble that these guys too had regular weapons and not anything crazy. And it actually worked. For a few minutes. In the stampede of our small but mighty group entering the field, I shouldn’t have been that surprised when I heard Archer call out. ‘Goddess! What is this?!’ he asked frantically through the link.

CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE:~Avery: “Okay, I’ve never seen anything like that. What is she?” someone asked from behind me. “That was incredible,” another voice chimed in. “Shh!” another voice ordered. It was silent then. I’d been struggling with my magic from the treeline. I could feel exhilaration that wasn’t my own, that had to be Drake’s, as he fought out there. The feeling was so similar to drinking in darkness that it felt like it was busting open the separation between me and it. That’s when I saw her, her aura. I knew I had to try. There was more light in there than darkness and I knew I could talk to her, get her to see, help her. When Dane’s form walled me off there was so much twisting in her, darkness threatening to intertwine into her light, and I tried, I really tried. It’s so hard to find the right words when you only have seconds to change fate. But it wasn’t enough. They weren’t the right words. They weren’t fast enough. I don’t know. All I do know is that one second

CHAPTER SIXTY: ~Drake: When she left me standing there I couldn’t believe it. I was frozen in time. Dane whined and whimpered. He howled. I just stood there, dumbfounded. I couldn’t believe how profoundly I’d ruined everything. It had taken so much time and trust and I went and- ‘You idiot,’ Dane grumbled, hurt. ‘We. We are idiots,’ I corrected him. He didn’t say anything back. He knew I was right. We’d gone into full instinct and hurt our mate majorly twice in less than twenty-four hours. “Sorry,” I heard Archer’s voice from farther away but within my earshot. “I don’t mean to interrupt, but Alec is itching to get back to his brood.” “Yeah,” I said, the words barely finding their way out. “Just give her time. She just needs some time,” Arch added. I just nodded. Everyone left the area and I just stood there until it started to get dark. I was probably pushing it. There was no way to know if this facility had any more people coming. I looked back towards the directi
