MARKED BY MY MONSTERS. 152
Sophie The place where the demon had been was empty now. The shadows were gone. The air felt lighter. But it wasn’t over because Darren was still standing and looking at me like he wanted to tear me apart. “You think you’ve won?” he said, his voice low and sharp. My chest was still rising and falling too fast, my body shaking from everything that just happened. But I forced myself to stand straight. “To be honest?” I said. “Yeah. I do.” His jaw tightened. “You’re nothing without that thing,” I added. “And now it’s gone.” Something dangerous flickered in his eyes. “You’re wrong.” He moved. Fast. I barely had time to react before he was in front of me, his hand shooting out but this time I was ready. I stepped back just enough to avoid his grip and drove my elbow straight into his side. He grunted, stumbling slightly. “You’ve gotten better,” he said, circling me slowly. “I had a good teacher,” I replied. His lips twitched. “Was it me?” “No,” I said flatly. “Pain was.” That

Sophie I stood by the window, staring up at the sky. The moon was already rising. “The Blood Moon,” I muttered under my breath. It hadn’t turned red yet—but it soon would and when it did… Everything Darren and that demon planned would start. “You should get some rest.” Reece’s voice came from behind me. I didn’t turn. “I don’t think sleep is an option tonight.” “Probably not,” he admitted. I glanced over my shoulder at him. He looked like a focused and prepared Alpha. “We’ve positioned guards around the perimeter,” he continued. “Everyone knows something’s coming.” “They don’t know what,” I said. “No,” he agreed. “And we’re not telling them yet.” I nodded slowly. “Panic won’t help.” “Exactly.” We both went quiet. They was too many things unsaid. “You can still stay out of this,” he said after a moment. I turned fully this time. “No.” “Sophie—” “No,” I repeated. “I started this. I’m finishing it.” His jaw tightened slightly. “This isn’t your fight alone.” “I know.”

Sophie For a few seconds, neither of us spoke. Reece eyes were still on me like he was trying to see through me. I shifted slightly, my back still pressed against the wall. My throat hurt from where the demon had held me, and my body felt weak, but that wasn’t what made it hard to breathe. It was him. The way he was looking at me. “You’re okay?” he asked again, his voice lower this time. I nodded. “I said I’m fine.” “You’re not fine.” I let out a small breath. “Compared to being dead, I think I’m doing great.” His jaw tightened. “This isn’t a joke, Sophie.” My name again. He didn't call me Evelyn, nor Luna but Sophie. Something in my chest twisted. “I know,” I said quietly. He took another step closer. Then stopped like he didn’t trust himself to get any nearer. “You’re really going to stand there,” he said, “and act like everything is normal?” I frowned slightly. “What’s that supposed to mean?” “It means,” he said, his voice hardening, “you lied to me.”

Sophie I found a metal door which was different from the others. It was slightly open. My heart leaped. An exit. I moved toward it quickly, pushing it open just enough to peek outside. Cool night air hit my face. I almost laughed but then a sound distracted me and, footsteps followed closely. My heart slammed against my ribs. I turned and froze because standing at the end of the corridor watching me was the demon. The moment I saw him, I knew I was in trouble. He just stood there relaxed at the end of the corridor like he had been expecting me all along. Like my little escape attempt was nothing more than mild entertainment. “Well,” he said, his voice quiet and steady. “That didn’t take long.” I didn’t answer immediately. My heart was racing, but I forced myself to stay still, to think. “I got tired of sitting,” I said finally. He smiled a little. “I can see that.“ He started walking toward me in slow steps like he already knew how this was going to end. I didn’t mo

Sophie Meanwhile, back in the warehouse… The rope around my wrists finally snapped. I slowly pulled my hands free. Pain shot through my arms as blood rushed back into my fingers but I didn’t care because I was free and now the real game could begin. For a few seconds, I just sat there. My hands were actually free. I flexed my fingers slowly, ignoring the sharp pins-and-needles shooting through them. The skin around my wrists was raw and sore, but that didn’t matter. What mattered was that I wasn’t helpless anymore. I leaned forward and quickly worked on the rope around my ankles. It took less time this time. My fingers were steadier, faster. The knot loosened and slipped off. I pushed myself up to my feet. My legs nearly gave out immediately. “Damn it,” I muttered under my breath, grabbing the edge of the chair to steady myself. I hadn’t realized how long I’d been sitting there, or how weak I’d gotten. I forced myself to stand straight, taking slow breaths until the dizzi

Sophie The warehouse grew quiet after that. Darren eventually left the room, his footsteps echoing down the hallway until they disappeared. The demon stayed for a little while longer, leaning against the wall and watching me. I refused to look at him. Every time my eyes drifted toward him, I pictured my parents’ bodies. The burning house. The night my entire life fell apart. If the ropes around my wrists weren’t there, I would’ve launched myself at him. Eventually, he spoke. “You’re thinking very loudly.” I didn’t respond. “I can almost hear the gears turning in that clever little head of yours.” Still nothing. He chuckled softly. “You’re planning something.” I finally looked at him. “What makes you think that?” His dark eyes gleamed. “Because humans and wolves always think they’re smarter than they are.” I smiled faintly. “And demons don’t?” “No,” he said calmly. “We know we are.” I leaned my head back against the wall. “You talk too much.” He tilted his head. “You’re
