Ryker parked the car at one side of the road as they all got out of the car and ran towards the accident scene, silently hoping in their hearts that Sophia would not be among the victims. Ryker maneuvered his ways through the crowds until he reached the front. The sight before him made his jaw drop open.

"Hailey, you think you’re the only good person in the world? If you’re so kind, why don’t you unbuckle yourself and get the inhaler yourself?" I whipped my head toward Layla, her body convulsing as she gasped for air. My jaw clenched. Without another thought, I yanked the hairpin from my head and slashed it across the belt.

Agony shot through my bones, my vision swimming with darkness.

Zayden jerked his head up A car was stopped right in front of him. He tried to swerve, but the wet, icy road betrayed him. The tires lost grip. The steering wheel spun under his hands. The vehicle skidded across the slick pavement Then everything flipped. Metal screamed. Glass shattered. The world turned upside down. And then... Silence. Cold. Dark. The snow outside continued falling, calm and steady… as his crumpled car lay still on the side of the road. *****

Her eyes gleamed with provocation and arrogance. "Do you believe me, Sharon?" she whispered. "No matter what I do… Carter won't blame me. Even… if I made sure… you died." The moment the words left her mouth, she shoved Sharon hard. Splash! A violent splash tore through the quiet as Sharon fell into the freezing lake. And then came Kelly's voice—startled, breathless, feigning panic. "Oh my god! Sharon! How did you fall into the lake?!" Carter and Nate came running at the commotion. Carter's face went pale the moment he processed the scene.

Then— CRACK Kara's wings snapped open above us, catching the air with a sound like sails filling. She grabbed my harness, steering us toward a jagged outcropping where the facility's ventilation shafts spewed steam into the morning air.

It takes a deep breath, and I watch as its last heart stops beating. The beast is now dead. Relief floods me, almost making the pain in my body disappear.
