Kill Me Alpha, Before I Do (Beast Of Flames Book 1) Chapter 70
Rowan pov I was hallucinating.I had to be.Fear had wrapped itself so tightly around my chest that maybe my mind had finally broken.Because the last thing I remembered was dropping beside her in the mud.The last thing I remembered was holding her.I remembered dropping beside her. Remembered pulling her against me.Remembered begging her to wake up.I didn’t remember letting her go.I didn’t remember the darkness that followedBut when I looked up, Liam Mercer was ankle-deep in the rain with Romy in his arms.Her head rested against his shoulder. Red hair clung to the dark wool of his coat. Her arms were limp, fingers streaked with dirt. Mud dripped from her boots.He went completely silent. Terribly silent.“Liam.” My voice barely sounded human.The boy only adjusted his hold on her, lifting her higher.Rain had washed the dirt from his face. For a second, I saw the same boy I’d seen outside the villa. Young. Stubborn. Looking at her with that same awful certainty.As if he belie

Romy povThe ground under my cheek wasn’t tile.For one stupid second, my mind reached for the villa anyway–for the cold marble floors, the echoing halls, the polished prison I had learned to hate with every breath I took inside it.But this wasn’t marble.This time it was wet, broken, root-tangled earth pressed hard against the side of my face. Mud had found its way into my mouth. Something sharp scraped my lower lip when I tried to breathe. The air smelled of rot, rain, and old iron, thick enough to choke on.Above me, the remains of a stone arch leaned against the storm as if it had been trying not to fall for a hundred years and was finally tired. Mist crawled under it in pale strips, clinging to the mossy stones, sliding over my hands, my boots, my ruined clothes.I tried to lift my head, but the pain exploded in me.It came from my shoulder, then my chest, then everywhere at once. A slow, ugly burn spread under my skin, deep enough that it no longer felt like a wound. It felt l

Romy’s POVAt six o’clock that morning, the guards were changing shifts, and I’d been watching the four-minute gap between rotations at the east gate for two days.I left through it in the rain.The rain had started around five. My boots were already sinking two inches into the ground before I was through the perimeter By the time I cleared the tree line, water had soaked through to my shoulders. My chest ached with each breath, a dull, deep pull that had nothing to do with the cold. I kept walking anyway. If I stopped, I wasn’t going to make it the rest of the way. I had known for thirteen years what day this was. I’d marked it every year–in the Waxmans’ spare room with the door shut, in training facilities and airport lounges, in a hotel bathroom in Oslo with the shower running so no one outside would hear. I had never had a place worth visiting, and I had never been close enough. But now, I was close enough.The Hawthorne property sat forty minutes from the eastern boundary–dow

Rowan’s POVThe tomb was forty minutes from the estate by car and twenty more on foot through the pine forest that ran along the eastern ridge.I had been making this walk for thirteen years. Always alone. Always before anyone at the estate woke up I left at five in the morning while the sky was still fully dark, the kind of dark that sat heavy between the trees and made the mountain feel like it belonged to no one. The air had that particular early-winter bite to it, the sort that froze the inside of your nose and turned every breath into a small white cloud. Aaron knew where I was going. He had figured it out the first year and never asked about it again–which I was grateful for.The forest path was uneven, broken by tree roots pushing up through the frozen ground every few feet. My feet remembered the route well enough that I barely needed to look down. Thirteen years of the same walk had carved it into my muscle memory. Pine and damp earth filled the air around me. Above, the

Rowan PovShe refused breakfast.Dora knocked, slid the tray under the door, then returned ten minutes later to tell me it hadn’t moved.I went myself after that.Standing outside her room, I told her through the door that Evander needed her to eat with the suppressant or the toxin would start gaining ground again.She said she wasn’t hungry.She said she’d eat later.She didn’t.By midday, Dora confirmed that she’d at least drunk the water. The empty glass had been left outside with the tray, but the food remained untouched.At two o’clock, Evander appeared at my study with the look he always wore when delivering news he wished he didn’t have to.“The suppressant is still working,” he said, “but not as well as it should. Without food, the toxin isn’t clearing fast enough.”I went back to her door. “Romy.”“I heard you the first time.” Her voice came from somewhere low inside the room. The floor again, judging by the sound of her voice.“Evander says the suppressant rates are droppin

Rowan’s POVThe council chamber was already full when I walked in at nine fifty-five pm.The room became quiet the moment they noticed me standing in the doorway.Vance was sitting at the head of the long table, his papers arranged neatly, almost like he had spent the whole morning rehearsing this. His collar had a damp patch despite how cold the weather was.Three allied councillors sat to his left. Aldrey occupied the end seat, hands clasped, her expression neutral.Silas sat at the far end, resting his arms folded loosely as if he hadn’t staged the whole thing.Aaron stood against the wall with his jaw set and his eyes forward.As soon as I sat down, Vance opened the folder.He had been thorough with his investigation–i’d give him that.Seven incidents. Numbered, dated, phrased. The mountain walk. The escape attempt. The frozen ridge at four in the morning.The corridor walk incident was listed as a public display of pressure done by the Alpha against the ‘supposed’ Luna. The rece
