"Nicholas?" My voice came out half-relieved, half-pissed. "What the actual hell? You scared the crap out of me!"He didn't let go immediately. Just stood there in the shadows of my hallway, his hand still clos
~SARAH~Lisa was already sitting in our living room looking way too comfortable when I walked in, and the smile on her face told me everything before she even opened her mouth. Margaret was right beside her, trying so hard to look calm, her eyes snapping to me the second I came through the door like she was trying to figure out which way this was going to go. My mother w
~SARAH~She was barely conscious when I walked back in. The Omega maid was slumped against the wall of the holding room, her skin this gross grey, waxy color that only showed up on people who’d been running on pure stubbornness for way too long, her wrists still tied with silver cord that had carved angry red lines into her skin. Her eyes cracked open when she hear
~EVA~He had one hand gently resting on my belly, rubbing slow circles like he was already protecting our little girl. My heart was doing that stupid fluttery thing again. I was so gone for him. “You’re smiling so big right now,” he said softly, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. His thumb brushed my cheek, and I leaned into his touch like I always
~NICHOLAS~I got off work with my tie already halfway undone and my brain still full of back to back meetings, but the second I stepped into the apartment, all of it just fell away.Eva was home.I dropped my keys, kicked off my
~MARGARET~Of all the streets in this city, of all the clinics tucked into it, of all the waiting rooms that could have swallowed my morning whole, this one had to be the stage for my worst moment.I kept my face void of fear, which deserved an award considering my heart was hammering so hard and also, to the fact that I couldn’t let Adan or anyone from the family find out the shameful act I had committed.
~SARAH~I rewound the footage three times just to make sure my eyes were not playing tricks on me, because what I was seeing was bold enough that part of my mind kept insisting I had mixed up what I was watching. An Omega maid, someone I only vaguely remembered from the household rotation, moving through the corridor outside the testing room, panic and fear all over her face as she looked around multiple times.
EVANGELINEI stared at him in shock, hoping he was joking, but as the seconds passed, I realized he was serious.I turned to him furiously.I’d done everything to keep myself from crashing out. I told myself they didn’t deserve to see that part of me. I calmed my breathing while he made excuses ear
EVANGELINEReluctantly, I trudged out into the crisp, cold air.The harsh wind nipped at my skin, and I looked back longingly through the windows of the house to find grandmother seated near the fire, warming her hands and blowing out cool air.I couldn’t imagine how she would comfortably leave me
EVANGELINEI turned to find Alexander standing behind me dressed in jeans and a large jacket over his body. I hadn’t seen him since he abandoned me on the road.“When did you get back home yesterday?” I asked and he shrugged.“Late. That doesn’t-”“Do you want to know when I got back home? Or how?”
EVANGELINEI let out a sigh of relief after I was done with the last patient.“You look exhausted,” Millie, one of the nurses said.I could barely manage out a nod as I lowered myself into the chair next to me.The pack hospital was busier than usual today. The snow poured heavily this morning, cat
