Se connecter~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.

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 was surprised to see Ilona.When Nicholas suggested that we have dinner, I’d assumed that he meant only the two of us. I was pissed off at him for his words, but I relished the idea of spending time alone with him. Sure, it was awkward, but it remind
