she pointed. We went inside. Bought shampoo, pads, toothpaste — ordinary things that now felt like survival tools. In the next store, I picked two loose pants, neutral t-shirts, and a long, thick dress. Nothing that would draw attention. "You look like a depressed teacher," Sasha said, pushing a beige coat toward me. I smiled sideways. "And you look like a goth college dropout living off underground poetry." She laughed. For a moment, we both laughed. Two women in a store. Pretending to be alive.

he said, stretching out on the couch. "Cool. I’ll hit up Hayden." I shot Hayden a text about the party, but—surprise, surprise—no response. He was probably busy or just straight-up ignoring his phone like usual. After chilling with Finley for a bit, I called it a night and headed back to my room. Lying in bed, I pulled up I*******m and P*******t, scrolling through futuristic costume ideas. After what felt like forever, I finally found the one—a sick-ass silver outfit with holographic details, inspired by Nova from Cybernetic Dawn. It was sleek, badass, and definitely something I could pull off.

I did, however, pull a few carefully selected strands out to frame my face. I dressed in a similar outfit to before: another clean pair of tight gym shorts, a cropped t-shirt, gym socks and a pair of converse. My wardrobe was pretty basic, and consisted of mostly gym clothes, oversized sweatshirts, and a few pairs of jeans. For functions my mum would take me shopping, and I usually donated the dresses to other girls in the pack or thrift stores after I’d worn them.

After we gather ourselves, we finish off our shower by actually showering. Drying off, we both get dressed. Unfortunately, we can’t go in workout gear. We have to appear normal. I’m dressed in my black jeans and a black v-neck t-shirt paired with my black trench coat and black boots. My war scythe and gun are on my hip. I’ve loaded the gun with Iron bullets. Cade will have his pistol filled with silver bullets.

With a wry smile, I crumpled up the note, deciding not to let their antics ruin my mood. Clearly, they were determined to keep up their charade, but I refused to let their warnings dictate my choices. For the day, I chose an outfit that exuded confidence and style, paying no heed to the threatening notes scattered around my room. The outfit featured a sleek, black crop top with delicate lace detailing along the neckline, offering a subtle yet alluring touch. Paired with high-waisted jeans in a classic blue denim wash, the ensemble struck the perfect balance between casual comfort and chic sophistication.

“Put on whatever you like. I’ll get the doctor.” He left after that. The guard remained outside the tent, but not all was lost. I moved quickly, rifling through his drawers until I found something suitable—a dark pair of pants and a matching shirt. It was close enough in color to some of the uniforms I’d seen the Omegas wearing. Maybe I could slip out unnoticed. I pulled on the clothes, which were too big but good enough. Then, I pulled my hair back and covered it with a men’s hat. I moved around the perimeter of the tent and tested the fabric for loose spots that could be pulled up.

‎ ‎An hour later, we stood by the camp exit. ‎ ‎We looked... different. ‎ ‎Rhea had raided the "Human Donations" bin, clothes scavenged from the city dumpsters or stolen from clotheslines. ‎ ‎Kaelen wore dark jeans and a black hoodie that hid his face. Vexa wore a long trench coat to conceal her sling and her weapons. Jinx looked like a normal, scruffy street kid in a beanie cap. ‎ ‎And I wore a simple black dress and boots, my hair loose to cover the Mating Mark on my neck.

Is it often passerbys would come in lacking foot coverage? “No shirt. No service.” She nodded at the back wall where there was a handful of shirts hanging on a rusted old Z rack. He found one men’s large it was the only one that wasn’t pink. The shirt was black and had the shape of North Carolina on it and it read Come on and Raise up. Well then. This is it I guess. He turned to the clerk grinned and put the shirt on. It was a tad snug on his biceps and he felt ridiculous. He looked in the reflection of the drink cooler and he looked like something from a wrestling poster.

I quickly pulled on the tight black crop top and stepped into the dark grey cargo pants, securing the belt tightly. ​I sat on the edge of the bed to lace up the combat boots. They were sturdy, with reinforced steel toes, perfect for stomping on a zombie's skull or kicking an overconfident mobster's kneecap. ​When I stood up and looked at myself in the full-length mirror, I barely recognized the girl staring back. ​The messy, hungover civilian in the wrinkled designer dress was gone. In her place stood someone who looked ready for a war zone. The tactical pants hugged my hips before loosening down my legs, and the crop top showed just a sliver of my midriff, balancing practicality with a shar

"He won't last more than a few days in that condition. And once your sister's on her own, she won't survive much longer either." I sipped my wine and leaned back comfortably. "You're underestimating her." That sister of mine was full of surprises. On the third day of the apocalypse, Dad somehow brought back some food and a cooling mat. It was barely enough to keep them fed and manage the heat. As the weather grew hotter, I pulled three cooling suits from my closet and handed them out. The mercenaries examined them with interest but asked no questions. I appreciated their discretion. These suits would let us walk outside like normal people, though not for more than three hours.
