The shelter was finally quiet.

After Alex and the armed men were driven away, the remaining members of his group had surrendered their weapons. They insisted they had known nothing about his plan to take over my shelter.

One of them, a young man with a bloodstained shirt, stepped forward.

"We didn't come here to hurt you. Alex told us there was a safe place where we could take shelter. We didn't know he intended to steal your supplies."

Another man nodded quickly.

"That's the truth. We only fol

    Everyone was still staring at me as though I had risen from the dead, and honestly, I couldn't blame them. Seven hours earlier, I had been bitten by an infected man, my veins had turned black, and Ryan had practically prepared himself to watch me transform into a monster. Yet here I was, sitting on the couch with a normal heartbeat and a wound that looked as though it had already begun healing.Alex was still unconscious on the floor.“Is he going to wake up, or should we pour water on him?” I asked, glancing at Ryan.Ryan barely heard me. He was too busy examining my hand for the third time, his eyebrows drawn together in deep concentration.“Selena, this doesn't make sense,” he murmured. “Your blood tested positive for the pathogen, and you were bitten directly by someone in the advanced stage of infection. You should be showing serious symptoms by now, but your temperature is normal, your pulse is steady, and the dark veins have completely disappeared.”“Then perhaps you should sto

    “Ryan, you cannot bring that man inside!” I said, standing in front of the entrance with my arms spread.Alex stared at me as if I had lost my mind. Two men stood behind him, supporting an injured security officer whose face was pale and whose breathing came in painful gasps. Dark veins spread from a wound on his neck, disappearing beneath his collar.“Please, listen to me,” Alex pleaded. “His name is Daniel, and he worked at the research facility. He helped us escape when everything went wrong. If we leave him outside, he will die.”“And if he turns into one of those monsters inside my shelter, all of us could die with him!” I snapped. “Do you have any idea how long it took me to prepare this place? I'm not going to risk everyone's life because you feel guilty about leaving your friend behind.”“He is not just my friend. He saved my life!” Alex shouted.“Then you should have thought about that before bringing him here!”“Selena, enough,” Ryan interrupted, stepping between us. “Nobody

    I was still laughing when Alex’s frustrated voice came through Ryan’s phone again.“Ryan, are you sure you gave us the correct location? Because we are in the middle of an actual nowhere! There is no house here, no building, not even a proper road. Are you trying to get us killed?” Alex complained.Ryan glanced at me, amusement spreading across his face. “You're in the middle of an actual nowhere?” he repeated.“Stop laughing at me and tell me where you are!” Alex snapped.“Don't worry, I'm coming out now,” Ryan replied.“Okay, come out fast. There are a lot of us here,” Alex said.My smile disappeared.“A lot?” I repeated, turning toward Ryan. “What does he mean by a lot? How many people did you invite here?”“Probably four or five,” Ryan answered as he headed toward the entrance.“Probably?” I exclaimed. “You invited strangers into my shelter without even knowing how many are coming?”Ryan stopped and faced me. “Selena, calm down. We are all trying to help, okay? These people are my
