Novel & Cerita Survival Instinct Book

today, I'm not. "Five." Nothing. My muscles don't even twitch. "Four." Still nothing. My breath comes faster, but my legs? Frozen. "Three." My wolf is practically purring in my head. "Two." My nails dig into my palms, my heart's doing a drum solo in my chest, and still, still, I don't move. "One." My doom. It's only then my survival instinct kicks in, my feet finally remembering they're attached to a brain that wanted to escape. I turn toward the door, only to have my back slam against it as he pins me there.

Instinct screamed at me: watch, anticipate, survive. “You feel it too, don’t you?” I asked, voice trembling despite myself. The fire in my veins was a living thing, coiling low, urging me to act. Kade didn’t answer immediately. He moved, silent and lethal, toward the disturbance. “They think they can catch you off guard,” he murmured. “They underestimate the bond. They underestimate you.”

“I’ll feed on you. And it’ll hurt.” All right, okay, it’d hurt. I could take pain. I’d taken a lot of pain over the last couple of years, and here I was, still kicking. Well, twitching, at least. Alive. And fuck, but I really, really wanted to stay that way. What the hell was up with survival instincts? I ought to want to die. Part of me, a large part, the conscious part, did want to die rather than live in this cell as this…creature’s…victim.

I learned that if I didn’t act, I’d end up in danger. After those times, something changed in me. I stopped expecting anyone to come when I screamed. I stopped believing in rescue. If I was going to survive, I had to do it myself. Even with Eleanor and Wyatt, two of the few people who ever gave me comfort, that old feeling never left. That voice in my head that whispered whenever things went wrong, no one’s coming. Save yourself. And maybe that’s why I felt it now. That familiar, crawling instinct tightening in my gut, the same one that always came when danger was near.

Focused on one thing. Kill. I risked a glance behind me… Holy moon. I nearly stumbled at the sight of the enormous creature charging after us, its four massive horns glinting under the moonlight. Scarlett’s earlier words slammed back into my mind. Survival instinct. That instinct took over instantly. I ran harder, my lungs burning, my heart pounding so violently it felt one breath away from failing. The kind of desperate run born from one simple truth— survive. But something was wrong.

At the same time, a strange sense of unease stirred within me. Just how far had the plot veered off track?

I went into a path that I never thought of taking in my life; a path leading into my destruction. I started a fighting for my right; I fought against that woman's abuse and raised my voice for every abuse she wreaked on me. Whenever she use to beat me I gave my answer through a Punch and she knew; she understood I was not going to remain silent anymore; that I was not the same meek girl she knew; she knew she has given birth to a devil now and has awaken my animal side.

She touched his hand, "Hey ... relax ... I got this ... you're underestimating my survival skill, like you said ... animal instinct, I think it's embedded in our DNA to find a way to survive when we need it most." He nodded, not the least bit convinced. He didn't want to sound condescending, he chose not to say anything. Her instincts probably have never been exercised and polished since the day she was born. Like any caged animals in the zoo, they would have to re-learn everything once they were back to their natural habitat. Most may not even survive and had to be placed in a sanctuary instead. "Or ..." she looked at him intently. He waited for her next sentence. "You can come with me? I'l

Knowledge became power. I imagined escape. Not yet. Not today. But I saw the possibilities. And I promised myself,every day, every hour,that survival wasn’t enough. Revenge would come. And it would be exquisite. I whispered into the darkness: I will survive. I will protect you. I will make them pay for every lie, every shove, every humiliation. I won’t die here. Not me. Not my child. ⸻ Hours stretched. I lay on the narrow cot, listening. The water dripping in the corner became a metronome, counting down patience, endurance, strategy. Every faint sound,moan, scream, footstep,became information.
