CHAPTER 19

Nova Sterling's Point Of View

“Hold on tight,” Vaughn says protectively, wrapping his stolen muscular arms around me. Smoke fills my eyes as we jump into the penthouse through the windows.

“You can't keep touching me like that, Vaughn Kingsley.” My voice shakes as his new fingers -Kieran's former strong hands - brush my collarbone. The tech components still embedded in his stolen arms glow red, struggling to fit in with his unfamiliar body.

We are a bunch of five bodies tangled in chains after escaping and landing into a heap of shattered glass.

Kieran flexes his weak hands - Jace's former hands have disappeared, and his real hands are back. Then moonlight pours through the broken windows, reflecting on the new hand. "How the hell did we get to Toronto?"

Jace whispers to himself while collapsing on Gideon. “Note to self,” he coughs, waving Vaughn's malfunctioning tech hand, which has now become his own. “Blowing up a jail cell is fun, but breathing in smoke is less fun.

    CHAPTER 24Nova Sterling Point Of View“Hold the knife like you mean it, sweetheart.” Jace's rough hands swallow mine, forcing my fingers to curl around the cold steel. He leans in and presses his chest against my back as his hair brushes my cheek. “Time to train in knife combat.”“Like this?” I replied and stilled my shaking hand as I sliced the knife through the air.“No.” Jace lifts my arms to correct my posture; his warm breath spills across my neck. “You're too stiff, loosen up and move smoothly like water.” He slips his thigh between my legs; I breathe sharply as my body curves towards him.“Better,” he moves his hands down my back, stopping just above my waist. “Now move slowly and make your opponent guess whether you’d hurt them or let them get close.” His lips brushes the shell of my ear.Across the dim studio, Regina’s red lips curl around a champagne bottle. The glass looks innocent in her fingers, but I know it’s one of her weapons.She used to share Gideon's bed, and now

  • FIVE ALPHAS CLAIM HER   THE DRONE KISS

    CHAPTER 23Nova Sterling Point Of View“Smile for the cameras, sweetheart.” Vaughn's echoes smooth as silk, but his fingers tremble against mine. The penthouse's rooftop garden glitters with what looks like fireflies, but it’s a Kingsley Tech drone watching our every move.His tech hands suddenly spark against my waist, sending me an electric tingling. Suddenly, his phone buzzes, and a message from Kieran enters. It reads: “I have rescued Gideon from Regina’s Lab Experiment and taken him to his military base. It's your turn to deceive your father and rescue Nova.”I gasp, and the drones immediately zoom closer to capture the moment. His father's voice crackles through hidden speakers: “Kiss her by midnight or the hybrid lab burns.”My body goes rigid, and a cold shock spreads across my muscles. The lab houses dozens of innocent kids who are far too young to carry the pain they face. Each one has a story, a loss, a wound they didn’t choose."Perfect," Vaughn murmurs. His human hand ru

    CHAPTER 22Nova Sterling Point Of View“Move. Don’t stand and watch.” Kieran grabs me, his newly restored strength crushing my ribs. The first chunk of the ceiling tears apart and crashes down, almost hitting Vaughn. Plaster dust rains like snow, coating our skin in white powder.But Gideon's already carving a path through the chaos; his combat-ready body is clearing the debris. Jace loses his balance due to the missing weight of his tech arm. Then I lunge to catch him, and our bodies collide hard enough to bruise my hands. My fingers dig into the warm skin where his shirt is torn up. His breath hit my neck and seemed oddly weak without his usual jokes.Then, the second explosion hits.The force tears us apart. In the slow-motion nightmare, I see Vaughn's mouth calling my name and Kieran's golden eyes shining wolf-bright. I saw Gideon reaching through the smoke, trying to get me, and Jace's remaining hand stretching toward me.Then, nothing but darkness and the taste of blood on my

  • FIVE ALPHAS CLAIM HER   INTERRUPTED FAKE SHOW

    CHAPTER 21Nova Sterling Point Of View“Welcome to my workplace, gorgeous. They want a show; let’s give it to them.” Jace pulls me onto the stage, his bare chest gleaming under the hot pink spotlights. The stolen tech arm on his right side sparks blue, still not entirely under his control. The crowd screams as Jace snaps his fingers. Flames shoot up from the nightclub stage. People laugh and throw money at us. “It looks like you'll have to work harder for your tips, pretty boy,” I say, stuffing a twenty-dollar note into his waistband. My fingers brush his hip bone, and his breath catches. Jace smiles and spins me. “Oh, I'll make it worth your money.” The music pounds so loud it rings in my ears. Jace's human hand burns hot on my back while the tech one keeps misfiring, making the crowd go wild. I tucked another bill into his jeans, letting my hand linger. A woman clears her throat behind me. I turn to see Regina Blackthorn, Gideon's ex-fiancée, dressed in a white pantsuit. Her dar

    CHAPTER 20 Nova Sterling Point Of View“Pick a partner, heir.” Kieran grabs my waist, but his hands slip off immediately. “We need to blend in with the people here so the paparazzi won’t get to us.”The club walls shake with music; I feel the bass in my bones. People dance so close that their breath touches each other. Vaughn's non-tech hand burns hot where he grabs me for a tango dance. “Come on, let’s grind.”“Wrong move, tech boy.” Kieran enters between us, his strength finally returning. He yanks me into a spin that makes my dress fly up. Jace's rogue arm drags me next, bending me so low my hair brushes the floor. “Whoops.” His tech fingers dig into my thigh. “It's not my fault, dear. It seems Vaughn's programming likes you.”The large television screen above the bar displays our jailbreak photo with a song playing in the background. The hashtag “#WolfOrgyTrends” has 100,000 mentions, likes, and comments. Gideon crushes a glass in his fist in anger. “Let’s get out of here.”
