The infected began moving toward the building.
Garrick swore under his breath.
“Hunters! Secure the entrances!”
Two men hurried toward the rear corridor while Garrick checked the front doors.
Elena returned to the classroom.
“We have to leave. Now.”
The youngest girl began crying.
“Where are we going?”
“Somewhere safer.”
“But my mother—”
“I know, sweetheart. We'll look for her when we can do so safely. Right now, we need to get out.”
Nora gathered the younger children. Then she looked at Finn.
“What about him?”
“I'll carry him.”
Finn immediately scrambled backward, dragging his injured leg.
“No!”
Elena stopped.
“Finn—”
“Don't touch me!”
His voice cracked with terror.
He pressed himself against the wall, his breathing coming in short, frantic bursts.
Elena could see that his fear was more than a child's reluctance to be handled by a stranger. Whatever had happened before he reached this school had taught him that hands reaching toward him could mean pain.
She couldn't undo that fear in a few minutes.
But the infected were coming.
“Finn, listen to me.” She lowered herself to the floor again. “There are sick people outside. They're trying to get inside, and we need to leave before they reach this room.”
“I don't want to go!”
“I know you're scared.”
“I want my mother!”
The words broke out of him, raw and desperate.
Elena felt something twist painfully in her chest.
She had no answer that could make this better. No promise that his parents were alive. No certainty that they would ever find them.
She could only tell him the truth.
“I don't know where your mother is,” she said gently. “But I won't leave you here.”
Finn shook his head.
“Everyone leaves.”
For a moment, Elena couldn't speak.
Then she shifted closer, stopping before she entered his reach.
“Can I sit beside you?”
His eyes searched her face.
Outside, something struck the rear of the building with a heavy thud.
Finn flinched. Slowly, he nodded.
Elena sat beside him without touching him.
She didn't rush him. She didn't tell him to stop crying or demand that he be brave. She simply stayed while the sounds outside grew louder.
After a moment, he whispered, “Are you going to leave me?”
“No.”
“You promise?”
“I promise I won't leave you here.”
He stared at her for several seconds.
Then he held out his hand. Elena took it gently.
His fingers were cold and trembling.
“I'm going to help you,” she whispered.
This time, when she examined his leg, he didn't fight her.
The injury was serious. His knee was swollen, and a deep cut ran along its side. She suspected a fracture and worried about the amount of time the wound had remained untreated.
She cleaned it as carefully as she could, applied a fresh dressing, and used two straight pieces of wood to make a temporary splint.
Finn cried out when she secured the bandage, but he didn't pull away.
“I'm sorry,” she murmured.
“Does it have to hurt?”
“Some parts will. I'll try to be as gentle as I can.”
He stared at the ceiling, tears slipping silently down his cheeks.
When she finished, she wrapped a blanket around him.
Garrick rushed into the room.
“We have to move. Something's broken through the rear window.”
A crash sounded from the corridor.
One of the hunters shouted a warning.
Elena looked at Finn.
“It's time.”
His fingers closed around her sleeve.
“Don't go.”
“I'm coming with you.”
Garrick and another hunter helped lift Finn onto a makeshift stretcher. Elena took one end while Garrick took the other.
Nora gathered the younger children. One of the hunters retrieved the stuffed rabbit before following them out.
They had barely reached the corridor when another crash echoed behind them.
An infected creature was crawling through the broken rear window.
Its limbs jerked violently, but it moved with terrifying speed.
A hunter struck it with a metal bar.
The creature fell against the wall, then dragged itself forward again, its mouth opening around a wet, guttural growl.
“Move!” Garrick barked.
They rushed toward the front entrance.
Elena tightened her grip on the stretcher, keeping it level despite the uneven floor. Finn's face twisted with pain, but he made no sound. His hand remained locked around her sleeve.
They burst into the clearing.
The hunters moved ahead, checking the trail while Garrick stayed beside Elena. The children hurried behind them, stumbling over roots and loose stones.
They had almost reached the tree line when a howl rose from inside the school.

Rejected Before The Apocalypse, Now I'm The Queen LEARNED TO LOVE HER
AUTHOR’S POVFor one brief moment, she considered turning in the opposite direction.Then she reminded herself that Haven was hers to manage, and she would not alter her movements simply because he happened to be nearby."Elena," he said.She stopped at a reasonable distance."What is it?""I wanted to tell you that the meeting went well."She glanced at him."That was the purpose of the meeting.""I know.""Then you don't need to tell me."His mouth tightened, but he did not argue.Instead, he looked toward the settlement."You've built something here."Elena followed his gaze.People were lighting lamps outside their shelters. Smoke rose from the cooking fires, and somewhere near the infirmary, children were arguing over a game. The settlement was still fragile. They had too little food, too few supplies, and no guarantee that the next day would be easier.But it was alive."We're building something," she corrected. "I didn't do it alone.""Still, they trust you.""Because I give th
Rejected Before The Apocalypse, Now I'm The Queen EARN MY RESPECT
AUTHOR’S POV "Your decision is that everyone receives equal portions unless their needs or assigned duties require an adjustment?""Yes.""And the warriors going on the expedition receive enough food for the journey, without being given a permanent advantage over everyone else?""Correct."Kaiden turned toward Roderick."Then we will follow the ruling."Roderick stiffened."With respect, Alpha, I believe—""You have made your objection clear," Kaiden interrupted. "The settlement has reached its decision. We will not waste more time arguing over it."A flicker of surprise crossed Elena's face before she could hide it.Kaiden had accepted her ruling without trying to override it.She did not know whether to be relieved or suspicious.Perhaps he had finally realized that he could not command people here.Or perhaps he had simply decided this particular argument was not worth having.Either way, the decision stood.Elena returned to her notes."We'll prepare the expedition supplies tomor
Rejected Before The Apocalypse, Now I'm The Queen THE RULES OF MY HAVEN
AUTHOR’S POV Elena had learned that the fastest way to lose control of a settlement was to let people believe the rules could be changed whenever someone powerful disliked them.Haven had survived its first months through cooperation, sacrifice, and a great deal of stubbornness. Food remained scarce. The water supply had only recently been restored, several buildings still needed repairs, and every day brought another problem that demanded attention.But Haven was standing.And Elena intended to keep it that way."Everyone should be here by now," Garrick said, placing a stack of papers on the wooden table.Elena glanced around the meeting hall.The room had once served as a dining area for the people who had lived in the abandoned settlement. Its windows were cracked, one corner of the roof leaked whenever it rained, and the long table in the middle had been repaired with mismatched pieces of wood.It was hardly a place fit for a council meeting.But they had more important things t
Rejected Before The Apocalypse, Now I'm The Queen I FINALLY UNDERSTOOD
AUTHOR’S POV "Then what is the point of the bond?" he asked, his voice quieter than before.Maera's expression softened slightly."Perhaps to give two people the opportunity to choose each other. A bond may bring them together, but it cannot make the choice for them. Love without choice is only another kind of captivity."Kaiden looked down at his hands."Is there anything I can do?" he asked.Maera regarded him for a long moment."If you want answers about the connection, observe it carefully. Do not deliberately provoke it. Do not use it as an excuse to force closeness. And if either of you experiences severe pain or distress, seek help rather than pretending you can endure it.""And Elena?""Let her decide what she wants to do."Kaiden exhaled slowly.It sounded so simple.It felt almost impossible.Maera returned to her herbs, making it clear that the conversation was over."One more thing, Alpha."He paused at the door."Do not mistake regret for love. Regret often comes when we
Rejected Before The Apocalypse, Now I'm The Queen I WON’T FORCE HER
AUTHOR’S POV Maera reached for a jar and moved it aside before continuing."There are old accounts of damaged bonds reacting under extreme circumstances. Most are little more than stories passed down between generations. A few describe connections that appeared dead but responded when the mates faced danger, shared intense emotions, or came into physical contact after a long separation.""So it is possible.""It is possible that something happened between you and Elena. That does not mean the bond has returned.""What else could it be?""I don't know."The bluntness of her answer irritated him."You are supposed to understand these things.""I understand enough to know when I do not have an answer." Maera folded her hands on the table. "The old accounts are incomplete. Some describe a bond stirring for a moment before disappearing again. Others speak of pain so intense that the wolves involved could barely remain near each other. There are even accounts of emotions passing between tw
Rejected Before The Apocalypse, Now I'm The Queen A BOND THAT SHOULD BE DEAD
AUTHOR’S POV Kaiden had faced rogues with blood on their claws, enemies who wanted his head, and nights when the screams of the dying filled the darkness around him.Yet none of those things had unsettled him as much as the moment Elena's skin touched his.He could still feel it.That strange pulse had passed through him like lightning, stealing his breath and leaving something unfamiliar lodged beneath his ribs. For a brief, impossible moment, he had felt what Elena felt. Her fear. Her grief. The pain she had buried so deeply that even her expression no longer betrayed it.And beneath those emotions, he had sensed the terrible loneliness she had carried after leaving Blackthorn.It had been like standing inside a wound he had inflicted with his own hands.But that was not the part that troubled him most.He had also felt his own emotions reflected through the strange connection. His fear when she nearly fell. His desperation to keep her from getting hurt. The longing he had spent t
