Page 120 of Anarchy Chained: Alpha Thomas

I was ready. Sadie came for me in the hospital and we got out.

No, Thomas. You’re not thinking clearly. Quick! You don’t have any more time to decide. Are you ready now? Because this is your last chance. I won’t give you another one. Yes. Or no.

Who—

Time’s running out, Thomas. Better make a decision.

Everything but what’s happening all around me falls away into the nothingness I’ve been in since Cyan took over. Uzi’s in control now. But that’s not who’s talking to me. Someone else is inside me too.

How many fucking people can fit inside my mind?

Doesn’t matter, the unknown voice says. Just be ready.

Pressure builds in my head. Pressing against my skull until I feel like I will—

The mind blast explodes out of me. Uzi, I realize. He’s aimed the concussion wave up at the roof where Case, Lincoln, Sadie, and Iziah are standing. Case, Linc, and Iziah are all distracted by something Sadie is doing. They don’t even see it coming. The mind blast hits them head on and all four bodies tumble over the side, crashing into the ground below. Mobs of people attack as Uzi moves forward to take our prize.

No!

They will never get us back alive.

But you can’t die, my friend. Are you ready? Because they will get you unless you let me help you.

Who are you?

Does it matter? Your friends are about to be made into good little minion slaves again. So does it really matter who I am?

No, I guess it doesn’t. It’s the only chance I have. Whoever this person is, they’re the only way out of this fuck-up now.

There is more pressure, but this time it comes with mental screaming. I bend over, my hands cupping the sides of my head, like that can do anything.

Obey me! It’s Cyan. She’s… struggling.

Sadie is screaming in my head. Then Uzi is there along with Cyan and the newcomer.

My mind is filled with nothing but insane screaming.

Then… quietly… Thomas.

One word. From a voice I recognize. Mine.

Sullivan, I realize. Sullivan is back. But how? How is he so in control?

Who cares, he says. Who fucking cares. Just get that bitch out of us!

We come together, maybe for the first time ever, and fight our common enemy.

Fight, fight, fight… Sullivan is chanting in my head.

Then Iziah is there too. Cyan is one stupid bitch if she thinks we’ll give up on fifteen years of planning. Fifteen years we spent dreaming about one thing and one thing only.

Revenge.

Because we are two Alphas teamed up with an illusionist.

And we are pissed.
