The Valkyrie lunged at Ashleigh. She tried to dive out of the way, but her move was anticipated. The Valkyrie turned and slammed her elbow into Ashleigh’s face. Ashleigh fell hard. She panted on the ground, feeling exhausted and weak. “The time is near,” the Valkyrie said. “You do not have the will to defeat me.” “Shut up…” Ashleigh growled. “Your body fights the poison, but the poison is winning.” Ashleigh pushed herself off the ground, stumbling back to her feet. “I said shut…

“Why is it that I so often find myself cleaning up your messes?” Holden asked as he entered the room, his tone uninterested at best. Tomas scoffed without bothering to look at the man that had slithered into his office. Instead, he sipped on his drink and leaned back in his chair. “Clean up my messes?” Tomas asked. “What about the ones you make?” “Me?” Holden asked, putting both hands to his chest with mock offense. “I clean up my own messes.” “Oh?” Tomas replied with a laugh.…

The Valkyrie kicked Ashleigh in the chest, sending her flying backward. Ashleigh hit the ground with a sickening thud and a groan of pain. The Valkyrie took a step forward and raised her sword high in the air, bringing it back down with force. “AAAHHHH!” Ashleigh screamed out as the sword pierced through her chest. With a sputtering cough, she turned her head, gasping for air. “Caleb…” she whispered through a mouth full of blood. Caleb sprung forward in his bed, taking deep painful…

Ashleigh fought long and hard to keep her sanity. Somewhere in the room, there was a speaker. Every once in a while, Granger would talk through it, taunting her. Encouraging her to let go. He told her that he diluted the mist and made sure it was enough to trigger the paranoia, the fear, but not enough to reach her heart like the last time. “There’s no risk of you leaving me early, baby. I made sure you’ll be here a long time. We’ll keep trying until it works.” The hope in his voice sickened…

Ashleigh spit the food in his face. Granger growled, wiping his chin with a napkin. “That’s not very attractive, you know?” Granger commented. “Go to hell!” she growled. Granger sighed. “Ashleigh, I have been very patient with these outbursts. I have tried reasoning with you, supporting you, giving you the things that you like.” Granger stood and walked over to the bundle of wildflowers. “I handpicked these just for you,” he said. “Still, not even a thank you.” “Go. To.…

“What?!!” Holden stood from his chair, knocking over the small table he had been using to make notes. “What do you mean she’s gone!” he shouted into the phone. The man on the other end of the line hesitated to answer. “Well… she finished her treatment; her brain waves had evened out. So we moved her back into a proper room… but then she woke up.” “This isn’t the first time you have treated Alice….” Holden growled. “Why wasn’t she properly sedated!” “I… I think she…

Bell had told Axel that whoever his patient was, they needed rest. She had instructed Axel to not let them go anywhere for at least another twenty-four hours. And so, Axel’s return to Winter had been put on hold for another day. But the idea of staying in a hospital or clinic room any longer was not one that Alice was willing to go along with. Axel was glad to find that there was a small house behind the clinic. He guessed it had been used for guests visiting the pack. There were no pictures or…

Axel found himself sitting beside her, holding her hand. He didn’t know when he had moved back to her side. “What happened next?” he asked quietly. Alice shook her head. “I don’t know,” she sighed. “For me… I drowned. I was pulled into a dark hole in my mind, and the memories poured over me. All of them, all at once.” Axel remembered how awful he had felt after only regaining the memory of meeting her. However, Alice had recovered a lifetime at once. He squeezed her hand. She lifted…

Alice made quick work of the doors and locks throughout the science building. She wasn’t able to get into Alpha Cain’s office, but it didn’t matter. The nearest computer gave her what she needed. She quickly left the building, doing her best to stay covered. All she needed to do was avoid being seen. He wouldn’t get what he wanted if she could just make it across the border. Granger had sent her in with two missions. The first she had already accomplished. The second… she could exploit a…

Axel raced up the hill. Lightning lit up the sky, and thunder immediately followed. He reached the pyres, but he didn’t see her. He was sure it was her, sure he had felt something pulling him up the hill. That he could still feel it now, somewhere close. His heart sank in his chest, and he took heavy breaths. Had he imagined it? Was he that desperate? Drenched once more and feeling the loss of hope, Axel turned to head back down the hill. His eyes to the ground, he saw the shoes first, a pair of…
