Ian Mckinley Final Destination Novels & Stories

The floor-to-ceiling doors on the second floor opened. The man who had been sitting in the shadows finally stepped out. I lifted my head, filthy and covered in egg yolk, and met his eyes. Ten minutes remained before the moment I died in the crocodile pit in my last life.

Decision already made. "We're going to Makoko." Nobody argued. Because if Father Michael had disappeared again— they might lose the only living witness who knew how to unlock the final truth. And somewhere across Lagos, hidden among the dark waterways of Makoko, a man officially declared dead six years ago had just gone silent.

Quin Mackenzie apologised. The world was coming to an end.

And then, he’d rejected me. I still wondered why he had never told me that he would be alpha of Northern Wind and why he’d led me to believe he was from another pack. I had never asked, though.

The silence in Alex’s office was heavy enough to crush him. He had been pacing from the window to the door and back again for almost ten minutes, his thoughts scattered, his chest tightening with every step.
