Alex From Surviving Paradise Novels & Stories

Then I saw others moving further along sand: Elena, Liam, Maya, Marco… shaking and sore, but alive. And there sat Alexus. He lifted himself slowly, pushing dark hair back. His proud, polished look was gone face pale, eyes wide and stripped bare. Beside him huddled his travel companion, weeping softly, just like the hired girls before. He barely looked at her; his gaze swept quickly over broken wood and debris… then locked straight onto mine.

Rescue-pt2 CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN Alexa’s POV The second the tree branch connected with the back of Nick’s skull, he crumpled like a dying flame, his body thudding against the ground with a sickening weight. I stared at him, my abuser, my captor, the monster that had lived in my nightmares these past few days. Motionless and silent. Crumpled on the ground. Just for a moment. And then I dropped the bloodied tree, and rushed to Devon. My eyes widened as I caught sight of him, and I fell to my knees beside him.

Axton’s P.O.V “Gus…You need to stop. It wasn’t me! I didn’t kill Lily!” “I know.” … “You’ve always been privileged, my dear litter brother. That’s why you never noticed how much I’ve suffered all my life.” “Gus…what are you talking about?” I managed to stutter out. … “You’re a pathetic weakling that got everything served on a silver platter.” “You don’t deserve to be Alpha.” “Gus…”

“Miss Cassidy, I want you to know I shall do my utmost to assist your beau’s safe return to you. I must admit, I have the satisfying feeling that this place is different, that there is a possibility I may not return along with the others. Please keep in mind, if this should transpire, it will be for the best. You should know, you are a special girl. If I shall see your pretty face again, I may be embarrassed at this admission, but in case I don’t, know that the time I’ve spent with you has been divine. Best regards, Alex.” I had to read it one more time, even though I had messages from Tara and Ashley wanting to share texts with them. What was Alex trying to say exactly? Did he think he’d be

You were the only survivor of my massacre, of my pride and vanity. There is fresh caught meat in the freezer. Eat, you need your strength. If you walk with the sun to your back you should reach Moutain Ridge. Some of their pack fought with others against me. Their Alpha is dead, but they'll be kind. They'll take you in. I'm sorry I didn't have the courage to face you and I know whatever retribution you're planning in your head is less than I deserve. Alaya x The words made no sense and yet they were oddly familiar to me, and they hurt, they sliced into my soul ripping me in two.

All I see is the torrent below, waves crashing endlessly at the bottom of the cliff. At this height, survival is impossible. Axel. He’s… dead.

Yeah, we’d made eye contact a few times, but that was about it. Oh, and the time he fed me — but that was one time. That didn’t make us close. “Oh… that just seems so unlike him,” she said. “What does that mean?” I asked, shifting slightly because my back still ached like crazy. She pressed her lips into a thin line. “It’s just that… he defied the Alpha to save you. He’s never done that before. Not even for his—” “Nadia.” Vivian cut her off sharply. “Go call the healer and let her know she’s awake.”

An evil smile appeared on Angelica's lips as excitement shot through her eyes. Was she present to see it happen? "Once on top, Axel waited for the perfect opportunity. He shoved Alex off the edge of the waterfall when the lightning struck, and he watched as the water swallowed him." "Except Alex did not die," I interrupted her. "No, he didn't," she bitterly remarked. "Alex managed to grab hold of an old tree stump and called for help." I nearly laughed aloud. Angelica's expression was fixed in frustration. "Axel was pissed that Alex did not fall into the roaring, cold, dangerous water," Angelica said. "And he needed a new plan to get rid of Alex."

“This isn’t about what you want. This is about survival. Your father made his bed, Alex. Now you have to lie in it.” I stared at him, my chest heaving, my mind racing. This couldn’t be happening. It felt like a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from. Elena finally found her voice, her words trembling. “This… this isn’t fair.” Damon turned to her, his expression softening just a fraction. “Life isn’t fair, my dear. But it’s better to adapt than to be crushed.” Charlotte, meanwhile, looked positively smug. “Face it, Alex. This is the only way.”
