MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 99 — What It Couldn’t Copy
Frostfang was full of doors.And the thing inside was learning which ones they feared opening.The east shutter climbed another inch with a shriek of warped metal.Caleb had both hands inside the access panel, shoulders braced, boots skidding on blood-slick stone as he fought a mechanism that clearly had no interest in remembering which direction was closed. The shutter was supposed to drop. Evelyn could see that much from the way the gears jumped beneath his fingers and the panic beginning to replace irritation on his face.Behind the slats, something pale shifted in the dark.Not a full body. Not yet. Only a suggestion of one, low and narrow and patient. Long fingers curled briefly around the inner frame and then slid away before anyone could shoot cleanly. The movement was controlled, almost delicate, as if whatever waited beyond the shutter had all the time in the world to learn how the mechanism worked.Orra raised her pistol. “Hold fire unless you have a target.”Caleb barked a
MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 98 — The First Locked Door
From behind the locked storage door, Evelyn’s own voice answered softly. “Rowan?”The handle turned another inch.“Let me out.”Rowan did not move.That was the first thing Evelyn noticed, and the only reason she did not make the mistake her body wanted to make. The voice was hers. Not almost hers. Not roughened by pipe echo or flattened through a radio. It carried her fear, her breath, the small break that entered her tone when she was trying not to sound afraid and failing just enough for someone who knew her to hear it.Rowan stood between her and the door with his rifle raised, shoulders still, jaw locked in a way that made him look carved from the same old stone as Frostfang’s walls. His body knew she was behind him. His eyes knew the voice was in front of him.He chose his eyes.Evelyn’s pulse beat hard beneath the fresh bandage around her palm. The storage niche felt suddenly too small for air. The curtain behind them hung half-open to the corridor, where Orra’s warning still
MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 97 — Doors From the Wrong Side
“Welcome to Frostfang.”Orra’s voice was dry enough to scrape bone.Evelyn stood in the southern service corridor with smoke burning the back of her throat and the postern shuddering behind her as something struck it once from the outside. The barred door held, but the sound rolled through the stone under her boots and reminded every person in the corridor that getting inside Frostfang had not meant escaping the things outside. It had only changed which side of the wall they were trapped on.The corridor around them moved in frantic, disciplined pieces. Frostfang soldiers dragged crates against one side passage. Two civilians carried buckets of water toward a smoke-blackened stairwell while a third stumbled after them with bandages clutched in both hands. Mrs. Carter had already claimed a recessed storage chamber as triage and was ordering exhausted medics twice her size to wash their hands, hold pressure, and stop looking at wounds like they were personal insults.Rusk lay on a cot n
MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 96 — Inside Frostfang
It was not a refuge.It was a fortress bleeding from within.Orra’s hand twisted in the back of Evelyn’s jacket and hauled her clear of the postern just as another burst of gunfire cracked through the southern service corridor. Evelyn stumbled, boots skidding across wet stone, and caught herself against a wall slick with rainwater, smoke, and something darker. The air inside Frostfang hit her like a second impact. It was hotter than outside, thick with burned oil, gunpowder, old stone dust, blood, and the packed human smell of too many terrified people trapped behind walls that had stopped feeling safe.Behind her, the postern groaned.Rowan was still outside.Gabriel was still outside.The thought drove through Evelyn so sharply she turned back before she fully had her balance. Orra shoved past her, pistol raised toward the half-open door while two Frostfang soldiers braced iron bars against the warped mechanism. The postern had jammed wider now, but not enough. The opening shuddered
MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 95 — The South Postern
The postern stopped halfway open.And from the darkness beyond, the sound of gunfire came.Evelyn dropped instinctively toward the slick stone shelf as the first shots cracked from inside Frostfang’s southern wall. The sound ricocheted through the drainage ravine, hard and close, turning the rain itself into something that seemed to flinch. Tessa hit the ground beside the rusted marker, one hand still clenched around the south-wall token at her throat. Rowan moved in front of Evelyn so fast his shoulder nearly struck her cheek, rifle raised toward the half-open postern. Gabriel came down behind her, broad body angled to shield both her and Tessa from the exposed drop.The hidden door at the base of the wall had opened only wide enough to show darkness, the lower edge of a stone corridor, and a harsh flicker of muzzle flash inside.Someone screamed again.This time the sound broke into a curse halfway through, rough and furious and very much alive.“Hold the bloody line!”Tessa’s head
MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 94 — The Western Drainage Shelf
“Move,” Evelyn said.And the convoy pushed forward together.The first infected came through the brush with its jaw hanging crooked and rainwater slicking its gray skin. It stumbled into the trail as if the slope had thrown it there, arms lifting toward the mass of warm bodies packed between the firs. Rowan met it before it found balance. His knife flashed once, low and efficient, and the infected dropped sideways into the mud without a full sound leaving its throat.Another lurched behind it.Gabriel stepped past Evelyn and drove the blunt end of his axe into its knee hard enough to fold the leg backward. The infected hit the ground face-first. Before it could claw itself upright, Gabriel brought the axe down again. Not dramatic. Not wasteful. One hard strike, then he was moving, already looking for the next one.The convoy did not scatter. That was the part Evelyn held onto. People flinched, yes. Someone choked on a cry. Henry cursed from his sling while Mrs. Carter told him to stop
MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 7 — The First Bite
The front windows exploded inward. Glass sprayed across the convenience store in glittering shards while people screamed and stumbled backward into shelves and displays. Something hit the floor hard.Growling.Wet.Animal.Evelyn’s body locked up for half a second.Rainwater.Teeth.Rotting hands a
MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 6 — The Man at the Gas Station
The rain followed Evelyn out of the warehouse—cold, heavy, relentless.By the time she loaded the last of the supplies into her trunk, water had soaked through the shoulders of her jacket and numbed her fingers. Around her, people moved faster through the parking lot now, carts rattling wildly acro
MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 5 — Cold Storage
By the time Evelyn left the second store, rain hammered hard enough against the windshield to blur the city into streaks of red brake-lights and gray concrete.Traffic crawled northbound. Too many people were suddenly deciding they needed bottled water and batteries at the same time.Instinct. Eve
MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 4 — You’re Overreacting
By noon, Evelyn had spent nearly four thousand dollars.And it still didn’t feel like enough.People still laughed in the parking lot while buying Halloween decorations beneath emergency alerts, completely unaware the world was already starting to crack beneath them.The shelves inside the grocery
