Zahra's POV

A warm hand settles on my shoulder and I glance up to see Henry watching me, his expression softer than usual. “You, ok?” he asks quietly. “I’ve never heard you scream like that.”

Great. So that was not just in my head.

“Yeah… nightmare,” I mutter, throat still raw. I look over at the three of them and wince when I take in the damage again. Henry’s split lip is no longer bleeding, but its swelling still, the smear of dried blood at the corner. Montague’s eye, already darkening into an impressive bruise. Jameson’s forearms, faint red marks where I apparently took a swipe.

“Was that me?” I ask, pointing at Montague’s eye.

He just smiles. “Even semi-conscious you put up one hell of a fight, Private.”

“Sorry,” I say, grimacing. “I don’t like being restrained, and I was still half in the nightmare.”

“No harm done,” Jameson says briskly, brushing it off.

Henry leans back against the end of the bed, folding his arms. “So then, Zahra, you’ve had a busy few days while I was recover

  • Marked by fate   Chapter 139

    Zahra's POVI am squashed into the back of the SUV, trapped in the middle because of course they put the smallest one between two mountains. My shoulders are pressed into solid muscle on both sides. Nicholson is driving, jaw set, eyes on the road as we speed toward the military airfield.I pull my phone from my shirt pocket and unlock it. Edwardo handed it back as we climbed into the SUV. I wait for it to power up, staring at the black screen like I can bully it into being faster.Notifications start pinging in.The first is from Max.Max: I can’t wait to see you with your new ink, what time do you think you’ll be done and I’ll come and get you? We’re just heading out to the lake. XxxI frown and scroll down, expecting a flood.Nothing.No follow-up. No “where are you?” No “are you okay?” Just that.The next one is from Xander.Xander: Hey, are you coming down later? XxAnd that’s it from him too.My chest tightens. I scroll again, hoping I missed something, but the next message is fr

    Zahra's POVShit! Max.My stomach drops. I was meant to see him last night. He’ll be worried now. I really hope he just thinks I got caught up in training and not that I landed back in here again. I don’t want him stressing over me on top of everything else.I yank my T-shirt back on and step out into the room.“Ready?” Henry asks.“Yeah. Have you seen my phone?” I ask, glancing around the room just in case.He twists his mouth. “No, actually.” He looks over at Montague and Jameson.“Nope,” Montague says. “When we arrived, you were already in the hospital gown on the bed. The General might know where it is.”I nod. Great. Add “lost my phone” to the list.“Come, let’s report to the briefing room,” Jameson says.“I’ll see you when you get back, Zahra,” Henry says with a smile.Something inside my chest pinches. It’s weird not being around him all the time anymore. I miss him more than I want to admit.“Kick ass on Stage Two,” I say, and before my brain can stop my body, I lean in and ki

    Zahra's POVMy feet sink into the moss. The air presses close around me, thick with an acrid stench that burns the back of my throat. I’m back here again.The thin wind threads through the snarling brambles and coils around my ankles, tugging at my hair, shoving the stink of rot, smoke, and blood into my lungs. Every sound is too sharp. Every shift of shadow feels deliberate, like the forest is watching me. Its attention crawls over my skin, goosebumps racing up my arms.I don’t want this. I want to wake up. I don’t want to see that shadowed figure again.“Wake up!” I yell, but nothing happens. “WAKE UP!” I scream, throat burning, and still nothing. I spin round and try to run, in the opposite direction, but it’s like my feet are stuck in quicksand, or some invisible thread is hooked into my spine, dragging me backwards and holding me fast.I’m panting and slick with sweat, fighting the pull, desperate to claw my way out of this nightmare. But I can’t.I don’t know how long I struggle

  • Marked by fate   Chapter 135

    Aiden's POVI pace up and down the tiny hospital room they’ve shoved Tobias into, counting tiles just to keep from losing my mind.The good news is they can’t find any trace of poison and he’s finally stopped seizing. The bad news is he’s still unconscious, and just because they can’t find anything doesn’t mean he hasn’t been poisoned. This isn’t a pack hospital. They don’t have specialist werewolf equipment or proper toxin panels for our physiology, so there’s every chance they’ve missed something critical.I feel sick with worry. Thor isn’t responding to Ajax, Jace or Milo, no matter how hard our wolves push through the link, and I’m terrified something’s happened to my Alpha’s wolf that we can’t see.The hours crawl. I’m pretty sure I’m wearing a groove into the tiled floor.I called my dad and updated him as soon as the doctor finished examining Tobias. He’s assured me the medical team are on their way, but it’s a five-hour flight, plus transfer time. They’ll take at least six hou

  • Marked by fate   Chapter 134

    Aiden's POVEverything turns into a blur of motion.People are talking, feet are pounding, doors are opening and slamming, but it all feels like it is happening underwater. My focus is narrowed down to Tobias’ limp, shaking body in Daemon’s arms and the pounding of my own heart in my ears.We spill out onto the drive. Daemon lowers Tobias carefully onto the back seat of one of the SUVs. I yank open the driver’s door and climb in, slamming it shut with more force than necessary. Daemon throws himself into the passenger seat. In the mirror I see Marcus and Jasper dive into the second car behind us, Jasmine climbing into the back with them, still wearing my shirt and her jeans.I barely wait for the gate to finish opening before I am flooring it out of the drive.The satnav on my phone glows in the cup holder, route to the closest hospital already plotted. I follow the flat, calm voice of the directions while my own pulse feels like it is going to punch through my throat. I ignore speed
