Chapter 16

His jaw clenches and his grip around the glass tightens.

He grabs my arm and pulls me up roughly, he throws the glass away and opens the door.

His guards move to follow him but he raises his hand and they stay back.

With almost insane speed, we're in a dark alley of some sort with tiny cells containing

people, the growl and snarl as we pass by which honestly scares me, they look so mean.

We stop at the last cell and he fists out a key from his pocket and opens the cell, he pushes

    CHAPTER 80CHRISTINA"Can I have a moment alone with her?"Mera paused at the door and looked back at Esmeralda, then at me, she didn't ask why, shejust nodded and slipped out, pulling the door quietly behind her.The room settled into stillness.I found a chair near the wall and dragged it to the side of the bed, sat down, and looked ather.Without the bangles, without the easy laughter she'd carried so naturally, Esmeralda lookedsmaller and softer.Her hands were resting over the blanket and her breathing was slow and even, the kind ofdeep that isn't quite sleep and isn't quite anything else.I sat with the quiet for a moment, then I felt too alone in it, so I started talking."I know you probably can't hear me," I said softly.to right now, so.""But I don't really have anyone else to talkI folded my hands in my lap."Why did you want to know who my parents are?"

    CHAPTER 79CHRISTINAThe door opened and Maxwell stepped out.He looked terrible.His jaw was tight, there were shadows under his eyes and the easy confidence he usuallywore like a second skin was completely gone.I stood up from where I'd been sitting in the hallway."How is she?"He looked at me with a slight crease on his forehead."What did you do to her?"The words hit me like a slap.For a second I just stood there, too stunned to respond, then the shock burned off andsomething hot replaced it."Why," I said, my voice coming out sharper than I intended,"is it always me? Every singletime something happens, why am I always the one who did something wrong?"Maxwell's face changed immediately."Christina….""No." I took a step back."I'm getting really tired of that.""I'm sorry." He moved toward me and pulled me into a hug before I could stop him, his armswrapping around me, his chin dropping toward my head."I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that. I'm just scared for her

    CHAPTER 78CHRISTINAThe loud sound made me jump in terror, the water from my glass spilling over my hand.A sharp crack followed by something rolling across the counter and hitting the floor, and Ispun around so fast I knocked my elbow against the cabinet behind me."Who's there?"For a second, nothing.Then a woman stepped out from the far side of the kitchen, near the pantry shelves, onehand pressed to her chest and the other still hovering in the air in front of her like she'd beencaught reaching for something.Middle-aged, brown-skinned, with the kind of face that looked like it had laughed often anddeeply over the years, she was wearing a loose wrap dress, her hair pinned up unevenly,and bangles on each wrist."I'm so sorry," she said immediately, her voice warm and a little flustered."I didn't mean to frighten you. Are you alright?""I'm fine," I said, pressing a hand to my chest where my heart was still hammering."You just startled me."She looked at me then, properl

    CHAPTER 77MARCELWhen I stepped back into the living room, Davina and Bryan were talking quietly at the table,heads close together, sharing something that made Davina's shoulders shake with softlaughter.Bryan was smiling too, the tight guardedness he'd worn all morning loosened just slightly.I stood at the edge of the room for a moment, not wanting to interrupt.Davina looked up first and her smile stayed."Done?" she asked."Yes." I moved to the empty chair and sat."Thank you for the food and letting me use your bathroom"She waved it off."Don't thank me for feeding you. It's the least anyone could do."The lightness of the moment settled and then quietly faded, and Davina seemed to know it.She shifted in her seat, adjusting her position with the careful deliberateness of latepregnancy, and her expression became something more measured.She exhaled slowly."I can't tell you much," she said."I want to be honest about that before we start, they drugged me not long after th

    CHAPTER 76 MARCEL The drive to Silvercrest pack took longer than Gabriel had estimated, a whole day had passed and we had yet to reach. We pushed hard, stopping only when we absolutely had to, and even then, I was back in the vehicle before the others had properly stretched their legs. Nobody complained, which was good cause right now I didn't need any from them. They could already feel it coming off me, the restlessness, and the urgency that wouldn't let me sit still or think straight. We arrived at the edge of Silvercrest territory sometime past midnight. The pack was quiet, houses dark, the whole place wrapped in that deep still silence that only happens in the hours when even the night animals had gone to sleep. Gabriel pulled up at the street Davis was giving towards Bryan's place and we drove through the empty streets until we found it. A modest house near the pack's eastern boundary, I was out of the car before it had fully stopped. "Marcel. " G

    CHAPTER 75MARCELI opened my eyes to find myself back in my bedroom.For a moment, I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, trying to piece together what hadhappened.The transformation, the chains, the full moon.And then nothing.Blank darkness until now.I turned my head slowly, scanning the room.It was oddly empty.I'd spent years in this room alone, slept in this bed alone, lived my life alone before Christinacame into it.But now the emptiness felt wrong, more oppressive like something vital was missing, like itwas the wrong colour.Because she was missing.Christina.A knock on the door pulled me from my thoughts."Come in," I called out, my voice rough.The door opened and Gabriel stepped inside, relief washing over his face when he saw meawake."You're okay," he said."I'm fine," I replied, sitting up slowly though my body ached but nothing felt broken ordamaged."What happened?""The transformation," Gabriel said."You shifted completely and we kept you contained
