LINDEN
Ace was growling in my head, and as the light filtered through my eyelids... I wish it didn’t.
I can’t be alive without her.
I don’t want to be.
I can’t survive this.
My body moves on its own accord, a sudden surge in my movements causing me to go off the bed, getting tangled up in a number of tubes that are now pulling at my skin as the coolness of the hard tile flooring reminds me that I'm really here.
“Thank fuck,” Nixon’s voice reached me just as he righted me and his forehead was against mine.
“I want to see Marcy’s body,” I snapped out, the warmth from him doing nothing to su

LINDEN “Of course, our resident volcano isn’t here to help me with this,” Nixon continued, looking between me and Marcy, “so you’re stuck with how I explain this. How about you try to contain your bullshit remarks until I’m done?” *...be kind to her no matter what…* Right. Easier said than done, Alice. She knew this is how I would react, and yet she still fucking left. She always fucking leaves… and now this? *She’s still your mate.* How? How is a blood-sucking Vamp still my mate? “Spit it out then,” I growled, wanting to leave this fucking cell as fast as possible. I can’t stand looking at her, wearing Marcy’s looks, wearing her expressions, and pulling at my heartstri

ALICE 'You can’t kill the Lord’s without killing me... Bash has been my mate, our mate, for over a century.' Rian's words echoed in my head, like a stun grenade that disabled my brain from any logic or reality filtering in. Did he just say what I think he said? My dirty fantasy coming to fruition and my hell on Earth realized all at the same time? I was back in Rian's arms, begging Onyx to take me back, begging Onyx to take my side here and let us just finish this once and for all, but Nixon denying me access to him seemed to force my world to settle in around me. The warmth of his forehead making me instantly regret leaving the pack, leaving Linden. '...Killing your mate is a sure way to death town... it's time to do what feels right...'

ALICE “Do you know who I am?” I narrowed my eyes at Ian, leaning over Rian’s arm and trying to ignore the muscles flexing beneath me, “I mean truly… do you?” “You’re a princess,” Ian smirked. “I’m an HEIR!” I screamed at him over Rian, “a triplet,” I extended my arm to my side, putting Onyx’s mark on display, “born of fire and bonded for life to them.” My voice cracked and my chest constricted just thinking about what happened, about how Linden wasn’t even awake yet, but fuck it, he needed to know that Lucius failed on all accounts. “LINDEN survived,” shock covered their faces, “and Nixon WAS the show, or did you miss all the fire?” I went to storm out but almost fell from exhaustion. “This has gone far enough,” Rian caught me and held me up by my hips, tu

ALICE “She did,” I nodded and Ian flashed to me, grasping my cheeks with both hands and holding my full attention. “Your LUNA turned?” There was a slight panic in his actions, a wildness in his eyes that had his body tensing. “She was a Witch, not a Wolf,” he relaxed slightly as I finished, “but yes, when I carried her back-” “You didn’t…” Ian interrupted me, looking at me with disbelief, “why didn’t you scent her first? She could have-” “She looked pretty dead,” I cut him off, staring at him with a trained lack of expression, “I was carrying her, with no wolf to help me, walking on freshly reset and barely healed legs after that psycho crushed and ripped every part of my leg apart - so sorry that I lost the ability to sc

ALICE Ian’s face fell in a moment too quick to cling to, the brush of air and his lack of presence all I needed to know about his answer. Amara was whimpering, pacing and laying down repeatedly as neither one of us knew what to do, where to go from here. We would never have his loyalty. The heartbreak of that realization had me out the door, searching for fresh air as I stripped my clothing off, my body bulking to shift as I broke into a run before the slam of a door behind us and his strong voice halted it. “A stór.” It was commanding, soft, demanding, and a plea all in one, but the fall of liquid from my face told me not to turn around. I couldn’t get lost agai

ALICE “Nix-” “He’s up,” Nixon interrupted me, “but he’s on a warpath.” “But is he-” “Ours? Of course,” he sighed, “but he needs you, please tell me you got right to-” “I’ll meet you downstairs when you’re done,” Rian pressed his lips to the sensitive spot behind my ear, dragging his thumb across my lips as he cradled my face in his hand, waiting for me to acknowledge him. My eyes darted to the door, wondering where and when Ian would reappear, “He won’t interrupt you,” Rian tapped his ear to tell me without having to verbalize it that Ian could still hear me no matter where I was. “Why do you seem so relaxed about all of this?” I half demanded as Rian left.

ALICE The warmth of the wind was mixing with the breeze coming off of the water when Ian’s scent hit me. It begged me to run off of the cliff that the house sat on and Amara wanted to test him and see if he would jump after us, or if he would let us get away. “Baby girl,” his voice was like a direct line to the feeling of pure bliss, but bliss was dangerous. It masked every other feeling, every other worry. “I’ll be more cautious,” I remained laying down in the grass, closing my eyes so that I wouldn’t have to chance getting lost again, “you shouldn't have to give up moments with him because of me." “You don’t want me.” His words were more like a desperate question. The tone in his voice seemed broken compared to its norm

ALICE “Lucius tricked her,” Ian’s voice sounded strained, “into thinking he was in love with her, that by providing us with the rings, that he could live a normal life with her, protect her always… but pretending to love someone when he ached for his mate he’d never see again removed any part of his humanity that he had left. He destroyed her village, drinking every last person dry, and left her to answer to her coven… who ultimately decided to hang her and disown her bloodline.” I tried to remain impassive, but every part of me wanted to get the praise I deserved for ridding the world of that true fucking monster. “A few decades later, Jasper did find his mate but it wasn’t what he was expecting. She was close to death when he found her, her vehicle had rolled over in a ditch. She had two children who didn’t surv
