All Chapters of The Girl in the Wilderness: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

A week had passed like a blur, they collected two bags of my blood each day and every day Sage would provide me with human food to gain back my energy in order to produce more blood. I was living no less of an animal in a cage. It’s been days, I lost count. My life is coming to an end, I could feel it. I am slowly losing my powers. I can barely heal myself from the bruises and open cuts made by these sharp chunks of metals wrapped around my skin.    My bones are already visible; my skin is now filled with wrinkles like an aging human. I can barely see clearly, the surroundings appeared to be blurry and dark. I presume my eyeballs have shrunk into my sockets by now. I probably look like shit.    I licked my cracked, dry lips and swallowed the lump

The wheels in my head started running the moment Cassius barged inside my room with that question. The expression on his face tells me that it’s going to be a long talk. With the furrowed brows and pressed lips, he looked bothered.    His voice was low and gentle, “Feyre,”    “What is it?” I asked with my brows knotted.    He strode towards the glass door of the balcony and closed it. That’s when I noticed that there’s a snowstorm outside. The white, crystalline snow kept striking the ground. I saw how the bright flash of lightning had struck the sky, creating some cracks across the heavens.  

Being with Cassius wasn’t as awkward as I imagined. He has told me about my past self and to know that we’ve been together for years, I just couldn’t get a grasp of it. It seems so unreal. I mean together with a vampire prince, really?    Maybe that is why I feel the most comfortable around him. He is actually very caring and warm, and also fun to be around with. It made me think that there are some vampires who are capable of being good and sincere, not the deceiving kind like the ones I treated like my friends.     “Lilana,” I called her, wrapping the robe around my body. Droplets of water were running down from the tips of my red strands. The steamy water was just perfect for my cold skin. Now that I am reborn as a

A smile immediately stretched my lips upon stirring awake. I had a good sleep, I guess. I turned to my side to see the bed empty, the sheets were crumpled.    “Cassius,” I looked around but the room was empty.     Then I heard someone on the balcony. I got up from the bed and walked barefooted. I'm pretty sure I remember him falling asleep last night with me, in the bed. He looked so tired from work; I wonder what he had been taking care of the whole day. He still managed to get up early.    I saw Cassius leaning on the stone rails of the balcony. He was having his usual cup of coffee.  

I saw two men dragging Rosamund by her arms. There were six of them in this narrow alley. The fact that these vampires dare to even touch Rose made my blood boil instantly.    “Rosamund!” I called, struggling to wiggle my arms from this man’s grip. There were two men with me. The other man was busy tailing us, a cigar placed between his fingers; he looked younger than his friends. He was a look out, watching people who pass the alley making sure no one dares to walk in.    “Quiet!” The stranger exclaimed, extremely pissed.     I glared at him when his grip tightened even more. If only I had my power right now, this
