Epilogue Chapter one The world seemed to pass by me in a blur of sensations and glimpses of reality. Whatever drug Lucian had dosed me with didn’t knock me out entirely, but it certainly kept me compliant. The water from the river was fucking cold. I don’t know how we didn’t drown when I couldn’t swim and it felt like my clothes were weighing me down. The sound of Petru yelling after us tugged at my heart, which was an odd feeling in and of itself. I don’t know how long we were in the river or how far downstream we were taken with how fast the water was moving. Eventually, I remember getting dragged out of the water and up onto dry land. “Dani, My Heart, this is not how I wanted things to go,” Lucian murmured as he brushed my hair out of my face. “Why did you have to be with them willingly? Doesn’t matter, you’re back with me now, and I’ll keep you safe, starting with getting you dry and warm.” I felt him pick me up, but other than that, I have no idea how we ended up in a cave with a small fire burning. Odder still, I was naked, with Lucian wrapped around me and a blanket covering us. Where the hell had the blanket come from? Had he stashed supplies away in anticipation of this? Wait, was he the one who damaged the power plant drawing my unit out to investigate? No matter how much I wanted to demand answers from Lucian, the drug still had a hold on me. Deciding it was better just to rest and let the meds wear off, I closed my eyes. Sorin and the others would find me. Besides, Victor wouldn’t allow them to just abandon me. No, what I needed to do was rest so I could have a clear head about things in the morning. If I could talk Lucian into leaving me behind as he went off to do all that, he said it would be the best option for all of us. Could he really be serious about killing his father, the general of the Northern Asturg army? A cruel and vicious man who’d left me with the choice of becoming his son's personal breeder or death. I’d met the bastard once when I was first shipped to Astrug from my home country, Oscad, three years ago. They’d lied to us at the Care Center, pretending to do their best for the country, protecting us from war and all that bullshit. The reality was that they sold us off to keep General Rasvan from attacking us when he realized he couldn’t win against the South. So many Omegas had been sent to our bordering countries, never seeing their families again. Each of us had been raised hoping to be part of a pack with the love and comfort that came with it. Instead, I’d learned what it felt like to feel real hunger and to fear for my life every day. No longer was I regarded as a woman with her own mind and feelings about things. In Asturg, I was a breeder, something to fill with a baby and steal away to raise in a group setting. Their entire purpose being to grow up and fight in this centuries-old war that no one truly understood. How do you win a war when you’re not sure why it started in the first place? After an attack on the outpost I’d been living at with Lucian for the past three years, I managed to make a run for it. Unwilling to leave two of my best friends behind, I also got them out. Only it didn’t go quite as we planned, seeing as we got caught by the Southern Astrug military. The escape had been brutal, and I suffered some massive injuries yet hung in there long enough for the advanced medical team to heal me. That’s when I met Sorin and the others. The men who, in all honesty, saved my life. They also happen to be the top unit of the Southern military's Elite Units. Those five
