Marked by fate Chapter 297
Max's POVBut she’s different.She’s not the Zahra I’ve kept alive in my head, not the untouched version of her I’ve been clinging to in dreams, memory, and desperation. She isn’t the girl I’ve been picturing every night just to survive the next morning. This Zahra is filthy and small. She’s skin and bone, and the sight of her hits me so hard it feels like someone’s driven a fist straight through my ribs.Fuck.Could this actually be her?Her lip trembles, and tears stream down her face, carving streaks through the dirt on her skin. When she smiles through it, and that small sob breaks out of her, I stop for half a second, because some part of me is terrified that if I touch her, she’ll vanish, that she’ll dissolve back into air and grief and I’ll be left standing here with nothing but the memory of almost having her.But a split second later I’m moving, before conscious thought, before anything in me has properly caught up to what’s happening. Because it’s not really a choice.I’m o

Max's POV:It’s so fucking bright in here. Why? Why is this place burning my retinas?!I stare around blindly, but I can’t make sense of my surroundings. Everything is white and blurry, though the smell hits me before anything else does. Disinfectant, with sickness and death lurking underneath it. I think hard, trying to force my brain to work through the haze, and the only place I know that smells like this is the hospital.But why are we at the hospital?“Alpha, Deltas, Gammas, second floor,” a voice says.I try to work out who it belongs to, but my eyes won’t focus and my head’s not helping by looking in the right direction. We’re moving again, and the brightness is making my head pound even harder. I hear a pinging sound, and the floor wobbles beneath me. I stumble, and hands steady me.Fuck.Why is the floor moving?The ping comes again, and I’m pushed forwards, lurching as my legs resist the movement.That’s when I catch it.The faint, tantalising whiff of jasmine.My whole body

Max's POVAs the car starts moving, nausea rolls through me again, slower this time but meaner, coiling low and hot in my gut before climbing. The world begins to spin with it, the motion outside the window smearing into long ribbons of light that don’t look real. I breathe hard through my nose and swallow the bile back down.I still don’t know where we’re going or why.I rest my head against the cool glass of the window, and it helps a little. The cold eases some of the pounding in my skull, and the hard, steady surface gives my body something to believe in while everything else slides in and out of focus.I close my eyes.For a second, with the glass against my temple and the engine humming under me, it almost feels like I could disappear back into the dark and let all of this happen without me.I blink and stare out at the blurred world beyond the glass, trying to make sense of the smeared lights and shifting shapes outside, but nothing settles long enough to become real. For a mom

Max's POV:I don’t really know what’s happening.At first there’s only heat, steam, and the dull roar of water hitting tile, and for a few long, useless seconds I can’t work out why I’m wet, or why I’m upright, or why my skin feels raw. Then something moves over me again, brisk and impersonal, and the truth of it catches up slowly enough to make me want to laugh and die at the same time.I’m standing in a shower while someone washes me.Fuck.Maybe this is a new low. Maybe I’m already past lows and this is just where I live now.My head is still thick with drink, my thoughts sliding away from me as fast as they form. I’m vaguely aware of retching again, one hand braced against the wall while bright green bile burns its way up my throat and into the spray. The water beats over me while I’m sick, washing it away before I can really look at it, and for a second, I just stand there panting with my forehead against the tile, trying to remember how breathing works.Then the water shifts.Th

Max's POVI drift back to consciousness like I’m coming up from deep water, the sound around me muffled as the ringing in my ears overrides everything else. My head is screaming, and I groan.Fuck, I feel like shit.I think I can hear a voice. It’s pulling me out like a lighthouse beacon in a storm, and I try to move towards it.There’s a sudden loud noise and a sharp movement in my periphery. I may be blurry, but I’m aware enough of that. I spin too fast and roll off whatever I’m lying on. Pain explodes up my side as I land hard on what I think is the floor, and there’s a clink and crunch as debris goes flying. I blink rapidly, the pain having shocked me awake effectively.There’s a pizza box on the floor, the red smear of pizza sauce and cheese spread beneath it. Plates and bottles are everywhere.Fuck.I hate this place.My head feels like it’s full of cotton wool. My ears still feel thick and my head is pounding. Not like a little bit, but like the entire philharmonic orchestra ar

Xander's POV“Do you know where you were being held?” Edwardo asks.Zahra shakes her head.“Samuels will have a better idea, since he ran in. I could pinpoint a rough location based on where you found us and the journey we travelled before we made contact, but I’m not one hundred per cent sure. It was an old, clearly derelict castle in the middle of the woods. No roads in or out. No distinguishable landmarks that I could tell. We were kept in the dungeon, and only went outside once for the tournament, then the night we escaped.”Thankfully, Edwardo asks the question I want answered.“Tournament?”She sighs.“There were a lot more of us before. Apparently torturing us for months didn’t get them any closer to identifying a strong enough mate for the Rogue King, so they changed things up. Started feeding us. Had a doctor look us over to make sure we were fit enough to fight. Then they held a fight tournament, force-fed us some drug that made us shift and drove our wolves mad with bloodlu

Xander's POVI stand staring into space, I’ve been in my walk-in for Goddess knows how long now, but I can’t seem to get my act together. Every time I start to think about what to pack for camp, my mind spaces out, and I’m back to staring at the Goddess damn carpet.I can’t help thinking about Zahr

Zarah's POVPearson approaches Sanderson and says something to him in a low voice. Sanderson nods, clutching his arm, and heads out through the side door of the training centre—hopefully to get medical attention.Then Henderson steps forward and joins Pearson in the middle of the room.“I want you

Zahra's POV“Zahra!” everyone exclaims.Lucas and Henry grin behind her as the girls jump up, wrapping her in hugs.“Have you really been training, Midget?” Eliot asks — the most obvious question in the world. I roll my eyes.Renee beats me to it. “Well, duh!” she says, giving Eliot a look. I like

Zahra's POVHenry’s hand shoots up again. I shoot him a death glare, but he grins and keeps going. “Sir—may I make a suggestion?” His voice is polite; Thompson’s eyebrows go up.“You may,” Thompson says slowly, voice cold like a blade.“I recommend assessing Larkin before the other privates.”“Any r
