Alpha Alpha Alpha!
It’sthatferal internal voice that keeps her rooted in place, far away from the safety of her car.
Let’s stay a little longer.
Yes. She can stay just a while longer.
No one’s looking for her and the sunrise isn’t for another few hours.
She doesn’t realize her mistake until it’s too late.
The chain link-fencerattles, and not from the wind. It shakes violently, but in the dark, she’s unable to see the source.
Fight or flight instincts haven’t kicked in yet. She stands there in shock, wondering if there’s an earthquake.
The wind still howls, but shrill sirens accompany it.
Adrenaline pierces her chest as the fence rattles again, followed by athud.
Someone’s here.
She runs, her boots kicking up gravel as she sprints back towards her car, reaching into her pocket for her phone.
Her phone, which sheforgot on her nightstand.
And as she stumbles, tripping on a jagged rock, she feels like an idiot.
She snaps out of her stupor of self-pity as she scrambles back to her feet.
I don’t want to be here. I want to go back home. I’m sorry—
The car is close, but someone is closer behind her.
I’m sorry Ava, you were right—
The wind is knocked from her as a heavy weight pushes her against the side of the car door, and a gloved hand clamps around her mouth.
CHAPTER 8
ABEL
He choseto go it alone.
If anyone else wants to follow him after, they can.
He took one last look at Draven, sharing a knowing look, while Reid made good on his half of the bargain.
Reid wants freedom, just as much as Abel does. He didn’t realize the crazy bastard felt the same way he did.
After strapping on a bulletproof vest, he filled his pack with supplies and, most importantly, the documents.
There are enough suppressants flowing through his blood to last for days.
If he runs into an Omega, so be it.
He’ll show them Alphas aren’t monsters.
It’s almost too easy to cross the water in the small boat, and he wonders if Reid really kept his word or if this is an elaborate trap to get rid of him.
