Adam ordered while cursing. Jes grabbed Adam's arm causing Adam to turn around. Jess shook her head. "I don't want to eat anything other than spice porridge." she asked. TBC.

“I want to eat the biggest, juiciest, and most expensive steak you can find. Jail food is a joke.” As an eerie silence fell in the area, except for the rustle of a light breeze, Tamashi thought about whether his demands were taken seriously. After a brief pause, Star began to laugh. Sweat formed on Tamashi’s forehead. “Of course! That works for me. Now, one last thing before we go. Let me properly introduce myself.” The wind picked up, blasting through Star’s hair. The bright sunlight shone in her hazel eyes. Her lips formed into a determined grin.

I was so hungry I saw stars. Everything had double vision. The book of 20-dollar scratch cards Mom gave me felt like a countdown to my death. Only one card remained. The 30 dollars I had won before this, even though I had been incredibly frugal, eating nothing but plain bread and canned soup for every meal, had lasted two weeks at most. My stomach felt like an invisible hand was squeezing it tight, cramping with pain. So I clung to one last shred of hope and called Mom.

It suggested that survival is overrated when the alternative feels like that. I didn’t argue. I let it have the movie. When it ended, I stayed where I was and did not give it the sequel. At some point, hours turned elastic. I dozed and woke without sleep between. When I startled, it was because she spoke—soft, through three floors, to a ceiling that wasn’t me. Goodnight… try not to starve. Starving is a profession where I come from. We make a virtue of it and call it restraint. We make a ritual of it and call it prayer. We make a wound of it and call it love.

The things included my tattered, patched-up old coat, the dusty work pants Dad wore for his act, the ledger of fabricated debts, and the tires of the beat-up bicycle that made sounds louder than the broken bell. Then, they lit everything on fire. Flames leaped up at once, greedily devouring these props all filled with nothing but lies. Mom sobbed as she watched the items burn. "There are no creditors. There's no 5,000,000-dollar debt. We have so much money that we don't even know what to do with it… You don't have to collect bottles or save up on electricity anymore…" Her hands trembled as she pulled out a black card from her bag, a symbol of unlimited wealth. She wanted to throw the card in

She’d just leaked quietly all morning, anger-silent tears, determined not to shake the bed. “Tell me again,” Draven said without looking up. Kade blinked. “Which part.” “Their terms,” Draven said softly. Kade knew exactly what he meant. He straightened a little. “Marla, Cassia, Tomas, Reed. None have eaten in two days. No water in two. They’re weak. Tomas is shaking. Reed’s jaw is infected or close. Cassia hasn’t stopped shaking. Marla’s quiet.” Draven’s lip curled at that last part.

I closed my eyes, trembling as tears escaped and fell into the food. "Happy birthday, Eleanor Shaw," I whispered to myself. "Keep moving forward—onward forever. Even if no one loves you, there's still light at the end of the tunnel. As Jeffrey said, you have enjoyed over 20 wonderful years of wealth and privilege. You've had it good." Just like that, I repeated words of comfort to myself as I wiped away my tears. I moved all my belongings that I had sorted out over the past two weeks in the living room.

"I don’t want… war." Mara capped the salve jar, her expression infinitely sad. "None of the little folk ever do, do they? But the choices of Alphas… they ripple out. They drown the small things." She placed the jar back in her basket. "Try the broth, Novah. Please. Shock’s a hungry beast. It eats you from the inside if you don’t feed the body. Strength you’ll be needing, I fear, ghost or not."

I murmured, forcing myself to speak. His brow arched, and his voice came out low, and husky. “Why are you sorry?” I hesitated. “You didn’t say anything. So I thought maybe I said something wrong. You probably—” “Chloe.” My name stopped me cold. “Y-Yes?” His eyes locked on mine through the screen. His voice softened, yet darkened at the same time. “Have you ever seen a starving man?” I blinked. “What?” “A man who’s gone too long without food,” he said slowly. “Who’s had to sit at a table and watch others feast, while he goes hungry. Even when what he craves is right in front of him, and close enough to touch, he still can’t have it.”
