Chapter 36: The Glass Coffin

The drone of the plane engine was a drill pressing into my skull.

I lay on the gurney and stared at the rivets in the metal ceiling. My wrists were chafed raw against the leather straps. My heart beat in a slow and terrifying rhythm that wasn't my own.

Thump. Thump.

It was Kaelen’s heart.

I felt it through the bond. I felt the sludge of the drugs moving through his veins. I felt the cold ache in his bones where the serum had stripped away his humanity. He was asleep

  • The Alpha’s Mistake: I Married the Wrong Twin   40

    Chapter 40: The Blood TollThe arena was not a place of honor. It was a slaughterhouse dug into the frozen earth.I stood in the viewing box high above the dirt floor. My hands gripped the cold iron railing until my knuckles turned white. The air smelled of sawdust and old death. There were no cameras here. No screens. Just the raw and guttural roar of three hundred criminals screaming for blood.Below me Kaelen stood in the center of the ring.He was naked. His gray skin was stark against the dark mud. He looked small compared to the thing coming out of the opposite gate.The Butcher was not a wolf. He was a mountain of stitched flesh. He was a patchwork nightmare of muscle and scar tissue. He did not shift because he could not shift. He was permanently stuck in a monstrous halfway form. His jaw was unhinged. His claws were capped with rusted steel."Kill him!" the crowd screamed.I looked at the woman beside me. Madame Kova was smoking her thin cigarette. She looked bored."He is go

    Chapter 39: The Meat GrinderThe helicopter descended into the bowels of the earth.We weren't landing on a rooftop. We were landing inside a hollowed-out quarry deep in the Ural Mountains. The air smelled of diesel fumes, old blood, and the freezing metallic tang of snow.The Scarred Woman, who introduced herself only as Madame Kova, sat opposite me. She smoked a thin black cigarette, watching Kaelen with the eye of a collector.Kaelen was chained to the floor of the cargo bay. He was sedated, but the drugs were burning off fast. His muscles twitched under the heavy fur coat they had thrown over him. His gray skin was slick with sweat, and the black veins pulsed like warning lights."He is a masterpiece," Kova said, exhaling smoke. "The Old Man really outdid himself. A wolf without a conscience.""He has a conscience," I said, clutching the collar of my own coat. "It's just buried.""Buried things rot," Kova said.The chopper touched down.The doors slid open.The noise hit us instan

    Chapter 38: The Red RoomThe air in the lab smelled of sulfur and burning flesh.Kaelen lunged. He moved with a speed that blurred the edges of my vision. I didn't have time to scream. I didn't have time to run.His hand slammed into my throat.He lifted me off the floor. My feet dangled inches above the shattered tiles. I clawed at his wrist but his skin was like granite. It was hot. Feverish. The black veins pulsing beneath the gray surface felt like living worms under my fingertips.He slammed me against the wall.My head cracked against the concrete. Stars exploded in my vision."Target," Kaelen rasped.His eyes were voids. There was no man left in them. Just a black abyss where my husband used to be. He didn't blink. He didn't breathe. He just squeezed."Kill," the Old Man commanded from behind him. "Snap her neck, weapon. Do it."I couldn't breathe. My windpipe was crushing under the pressure. Black spots danced in my eyes."Kaelen," I choked out. "Look at me."He tilted his hea

    Chapter 37: The Breeding CageThe cell smelled of despair and antiseptic.I sat on the thin mattress, my knees pulled to my chest, staring at the ventilation grate where the note had disappeared. V. Vane. The man my husband had ripped in half on the deck of a ship. The man who had stolen my son.If he was alive, it meant the Old Man’s serum was capable of miracles. Or curses.My hand went to my pocket. The cold steel of the grenade pressed against my thigh. It was a comfort and a terrifying weight. One pin. Four seconds. And this nightmare would end in fire.But not yet. Not while my son was somewhere in this frozen hellscape.The heavy steel door to my cell buzzed.Click.It swung open.Three guards stood there. They wore full tactical gear, their faces hidden behind black visors. They held electric cattle prods that crackled with blue menace."Get up," the lead guard barked. "The Director is waiting."I stood up. I didn't fight. I smoothed the hospital gown over my hips, hiding the

I felt the sludge of the drugs moving through his veins. I felt the cold ache in his bones where the serum had stripped away his humanity. He was asleep next to me but his soul was screaming in the dark.The Old Man sat across from us.He looked calm. He looked like a grandfather watching his grandchildren nap. He peeled his apple with surgical precision. The skin came away in one long red ribbon."He is dreaming," the Old Man said softly.I turned my head. My neck cracked from the stiffness.Kaelen was twitching. His fingers curled into fists. His lips pulled back to reveal his teeth. He wasn't dreaming of sheep. He was dreaming of blood."Wak

    Chapter 35: The Ice and the FeverThe snow was not white in Moscow. It was gray.It fell in heavy wet clumps that stuck to my eyelashes and froze against my cheeks. I dragged Kaelen across the rooftop of the industrial building we had landed on. He was heavy. He was dead weight.The adrenaline that had allowed him to shatter the glass and leap from the Onyx Tower was gone. The crash the Woman in White had predicted was here. It was violent and it was happening now.Kaelen collapsed into a snowdrift.His skin was no longer just gray. It was translucent. I could see the black poison pulsing through his veins like ink in water. He was burning up. Steam rose from his body into the freezing night air."Leave me," he rasped.He tried to push me away. His hand was trembling. The long black talons scraped against the velvet of my ruined dress."I am not leaving you," I said.I grabbed his arm. I pulled with everything I had. My muscles screamed. The fertility potion in my blood was still acti
