After what felt like hours, they walked into the light of a new day.

Zayne blinked, his eyes adjusting to the brightness after the darkness of the tunnel.

They had made it. They had actually made it.

"We're outside the city gates," Anna said, her voice filled with relief. "We're free."

She dropped to her knees and cried, then pulled him into a hug, holding him so tightly that he could barely breathe.

Zayne hugged her back, burying his face in her bosom.

"Mummy, will I have nightmare

    She looked into his eyes, her gaze filled with love and sorrow."I hope you live happily," she said, her voice barely a whisper. "I am sorry I had to leave you in this world to fight for yourself. I hope you find love and every happiness you deserve." A tear slipped down her cheek, and she gave him a sad, broken smile. "I love flowers, Zayne. If there's a way you can get a piece of me, bury me in a flower garden. I love you, Zayne. I love you so much.""Shoot the boy also!" the leader of the guards shouted from inside the tunnel. "He is a traitor with his mother!"Anna's eyes went wide. "But I am your mother!" she shouted for them to hear. "You can't kill me."Then she pushed.Zayne felt the blade slide into his mother's throat and the spray of her blood against his face. He tried to pull back, tried to stop it, but she kept pushing—her hand over his."I love you," she said one last time, her voice bubbling with blood. "I love you, Zayne."Then she collapsed, and the dagger went with

She dropped to her knees and cried, then pulled him into a hug, holding him so tightly that he could barely breathe. Zayne hugged her back, burying his face in her bosom. "Mummy, will I have nightmares again?" "No sweetheart. You will live happily and have a great life." She cried joyfully. "I know you will be different from your father. Now," she said, pulling back and looking at him with fierce joy in her eyes, "let's get as far away from this place as possible. We need to find a town, somewhere we can hide. Somewhere we can start over." But as she turned to lead him away, a voice came from the tunnel, speaking into a walkie-talkie. "Well, well," one of the soldiers said in a mocking

  • CRY OR BETTER YET, BEG   ONLY CHANCE

    The shot sounded out like thunder throughout the building. Captain Varen's head snapped back, a perfect hole appearing in the center of his forehead. He released Zayne's arm and crumpled to the ground, his body twitching once before falling still.Anna grabbed Zayne's hand and ran. They sprinted through the secret passageway, heading to the flower garden pathway that led to the gates.Behind them, the sound of boots echoed through the corridors.Varen's backup."We have to make it to the gates," Anna gasped, pulling Zayne along. "We have to get out of the city. It's our only chance."They burst through another back door and into the flower garden of Blood Fang capital. The boots were getting closer and closer."They're coming," Zayne panted, his lungs burning. "Mother, they're coming for us.""I know," Anna said, her voice tight with terror. "I know, baby. Just keep running. Don't stop. Whatever you do, don't stop."She wanted to stop and pick him up, but even a second of stopping cou

  • CRY OR BETTER YET, BEG   CAPTAIN

    Anna immediately shoved Zayne behind her, her body shielding him from the guard's gaze."Captain Varen," she said, her voice cold. "I thought we had an arrangement.""We did," Captain Varen replied, tilting his head. "I was to help you escape. I was to betray the Blood Fang Empire. A tempting offer, I admit."He stepped closer, his hand touching her cheek. "I also enjoyed last night's offer. You are a very beautiful woman, and sadly, I won't get to enjoy that anymore."He grinned.She pushed his hand away from her face."I did everything you asked. Why this? Why are you doing this now? You promised to help me out and protect my son—even arrange a family for adoption so he could live a good life!""Yeah, yeah, I did. But I serve the Blood Fang. And I swore loyalty to your husband. You think money and sex would sway me from my oath?"Anna's hand moved to her hip, where Zayne knew she kept a small pistol hidden beneath her dress."Then why did you come alone? Why not bring the guards?"

  • CRY OR BETTER YET, BEG   SECRET DOOR

    Anna had been preparing for this moment for years and that night, the pieces were supposed to finally fall into place. She pulled out the disguises she had arranged from her bag and dressed him in a slave's dress, her hands trembling as she worked. "You will be a girl slave," she explained, her voice low. "A slave maid's daughter. Sick and weak. No one will look twice at you. Thankfully, little girls are sex slaves in this hell, so it won't seem odd." Zayne stood still as she worked, his mind a whirlwind of confusion and fear. He was supposed to be celebrating his tenth birthday. Instead, he was being dressed as a girl to be smuggled out of the city like a piece of contraband. Anna disguised herself as a slave maid, pulling a veil over her hair and lower face. She brought out her makeup tools, always watching the door at every minute to make sure no one was coming. Her hands shook uncontrollably with panic as she applied dark shadows to create bags under her eyes and bruise effect

  • CRY OR BETTER YET, BEG   RUN FOR DEAR LIFE

    "I know you're young, but you have to survive. It is far worse to be a prince in this place than to be a nobody outside these hell gates." Zayne blinked, his fevered mind struggling to process her words. "Survive?"—he sobbed. "Yes, baby. Your father is evil. He took after his father, and his father before him. The Blood Fang ritual has corrupted this entire bloodline, and I don't want you to follow the same cycle. You will be asked to do something you may never be able to do, and then you will be killed and replaced within nine months without hesitation." Zayne listened in confusion but didn't interrupt. His mother's hands moved to stroke his small face again. "I know this was too much to reveal at such a young age, but I have no choice. I regret bringing you into this cruel world to suffer. I tried so hard to kill you in my womb, but it wasn't successful." "You... you tried to kill me, Mommy?" His small wounded voice came. Tears streamed down his mother's face. "I know th
