How Chapter 7 Saved My Life Novels & Stories

“That’s a good plan, Mia. It won’t be easy, but if you play this right, you won’t just save Emma. You’ll save yourself, too.” Determination settled in my chest. I had two days. To save Emma. To change my fate. And to finally make things right. The sun was beginning to set, casting a warm golden glow over the neighbourhood. I stood in front of the mirror in the small bathroom of the house Apollo and I were using. My reflection was unfamiliar—Sandy, the name I had given myself, was supposed to be a fresh start. But how could I be someone new when the weight of my past clung to me so tightly?

"Miss, hold on. We will save you." I fought to keep my eyes open, refusing to let myself slip into unconsciousness. However, my awareness began to fade, and I could feel the warmth of my blood draining away. A tear slipped from the corner of my eye, and in that final, fleeting moment before darkness took me, I wondered why it hurt so much.

Having been an invisible presence at home for ten years, I watch Mom and Dad hand me the only life ring as the cruise ship sinks, while they vanish into the ocean depths. Christian Gunn, my distant brother, desperately pushes me toward the shore until his body is completely frozen stiff by the icy seawater. He flashes a smile of relief and says, "Mom, Dad, and I have always regretted bringing you back to the Gunn family. If we hadn't, Freya would still be by our side. If there's a next life, please don't bother our family ever again." I watch his complexion turn increasingly pale before he closes his eyes forever.

But I was too far gone. A full year of torture in those cells had drained every last drop of life from me and destroyed my body's ability to heal itself. My organs were battered beyond repair, bleeding internally. Bones had been broken and reset so many times they barely held together. There wasn't a patch of unbroken skin left on me. No matter how hard Owen tried, death's shadow never lifted. I had made my peace with it. No regrets. Only relief. At least I hadn't failed Alpha Elbert and Luna.

“My wife had cheated on me with her Pilates instructor. I got fired from my job. I had stupid debts I couldn’t pay. I was about to jump off a building when it happened. One of those aliens wanted to eat me, but someone saved me.” Araheen looked at the vague sylph tattooed on his forearm. The client pointed to it as well. “This woman saved me. You have the same color of hair and eyes that she did, so at first I thought it was you.
