Fallon! Please!
This state is too horrible to live in—too cruel to exist.
She pushes power into me, but power isn’t what I need. I have plenty of that.
It’s the invisible chains she needs to do something about.
Then Fallon is gone. Devastation sinks to my gut until I realize she hasn’t left me.
She’s just somewhere else.
She pushes power into me again, but not into my body.
Into mysoul.
Warmth floods through me and my body struggles to take a breath, but the machine is still in control.
I seek refuge in the mirage the patriarchs made for me, quickly losing scope of reality.
Safe. Home. Calm.
The mantra of the illusion comforts me and I almost fall back into it until I hear Fallon’s voice.
You’re still unconscious,she says.
I am?I reply, confused because I don’t feel unconscious.I’m in my room.
No, you’re in a freezer. I’m looking right at you.
Oh…
I try to frown when I realize she’s right, but my body doesn’t obey me.I knew something was wrong when my books kept showing me blank pages.
I am teaching her the spell to free me when a new presence invades our space.
Daithi.
Terror winds through me when he casts a spell on Fallon, forcing her body to mimic death.
It’s the same he performed on me—perhaps a little too well, given the machine required to keep me alive.
Rage fuels my soul as I remember everything he’s done.
Forced a fated-mate bond on me.
Given my body and soul to other patriarchs like I’m currency to be traded.
Chaos explodes when another female enters the room. I instantly recognize her presence.
Ayla has not just been my roommate, but also my only friend besides Fallon. She’s a cousin, although not by blood, but she’s family all the same.
And she’s here.
She’s done something to Daithi, but it’s only temporary.
He lashes out and Fallon is cast from the room and sent sailing across the building.
I don’t know how high up we are, but Daithi wouldn’t have cast her out unless it would seriously hurt her.
