“Better than having to stab at the creepy fae creature.” I chuckled, and he joined me, laughing.

“True. Well, I’m so glad you’re okay. I was freaking out, and the doctors in the ward wouldn’t tell me anything.” Zed grabbed my hands in his.

Chaos erupted.

Jax and Ascher jumped out of their beds and crowded around us.

“Don’t touch her,” Jax growled while physically pulling Zed away from me. Jax’s eyes glowed, and he dwarfed Zed with his size and muscles. At least he was fully dressed.

“Leave.” Ascher leaned over Zed and invaded his personal space.

Fight them off. Assert your dominance.

My chest vibrated with a deep growl as I shoved myself in front of Zed. Jax growled back, and Ascher just sneered down at me with a cocky smile.

“I better be off to work anyway. I’m glad you’re okay.” Zed rolled his eyes at the antics and hurried out the door.

Before he left, he turned around in the hallway. “Also, the compound gave you a phone, Sadie. It’s in your top drawer. You can text me at any time.” He gave me a thumbs-up before Ascher slammed the door shut in his face.

“Give me your phone, Princess.” Ascher held out his hand expectantly, like I was a little bitch who listened to him. Who was going to tell him?

Stab him, quickly.

“Touch my shit and I’ll stab you with your horn after I rip it off your head.” I climbed back into bed and opened up my notebook. My broken voice had sounded harsher than usual and nicely emphasized my threat.

Ascher opened his mouth like he was going to argue, but Jax shoved Ascher onto his bed before he could say anything. The horned alpha rolled his eyes and picked up his phone.

Wisely, he didn’t say anything further or try to order me around again.

The entire time, Cobra wrote his report on his bed, unbothered by everyone’s antics regarding Zed. Mount him quickly.

Ignoring my concerning thoughts, I went back to cataloging observations from the battle. Unfortunately, even my numb self wasn’t unbothered by the sexual events that had transpired in the room.

Staring out the snowy window all night, I didn’t sleep a single second.

When the morning alarm went off, numbness still coursed through my veins.

JAX

CHAOS

The next day…

Sadie was different, and it made me want to roar with frustration. Or attack her and prompt a response.

Yesterday, the spider fae had attacked, and she’d transformed into an impressive alpha form. Today, she was impossibly cold.

“Another rep,” I said, and my normal voice came out in a guttural growl.

Frustration coursed through me. I was a hundred and twenty years old, and I was known for being calm and collected.

At least, I had been known to be that way.

Ever since a little white-haired woman with shocking red eyes and a scratchy voice had joined our training, I had been acting like a madman.

When she had first arrived, I had kept a lid on my protective instincts and played it cool.

I hadn’t thought she was actually an alpha.
