MAX

I woke up. Saw that all of my friends sat around my bed. It looked as if they’d slept here too.

Will entered with a cup of coffee in his hands. “Lane? Thank fuck.”

I laughed tiredly. “What happened?”

“What is the last thing you remember?”

“Commander Hendrix’s arrows penetrating me.”

He nodded. “He shot Simon too.”

“What?”

“Had too because he wanted to kill the faun. If Hendrix hadn’t, the deal would be off and we all would’ve stayed.”

“That was what he meant?”

“Yeah, he didn’t bargain on the commander not killing him.”

“He is still alive?”

“As hard as it was, yeah. The Seelie broke the rules. We are all out of the Moore. Including the fucking werewolves.”

“They are still in the program?”

“No. Rumors are that Gabriel was furious they left Simon and Cade.”

“How is everyone?”

Tears pooled in Will’s eyes. “You saved us all, Lane.”

“Stop. I knew I had a dragon in me.”

“Not a dragon. You looked like some sort of hybrid wolf.”

“Hybrid wolf?”

“According to Vincent.”

“Hybrid wolf?”

Will leaned closer. “You know what this means?”

“No, what?”

“It’s not just birds, Lane. It’s every animal you want to be, you can be.”

Every animal. My mind was still trying to process the fact that Commander Hendrix had shot me. How was I going to process this?

“He thought we were a swamp monster,” Will explained.

“Exactly what Scar had seen?”

“Yeah, she is going to be one hell of a Seer when the right time comes.”

“You think? She saw us almost dying, Will.”

“Okay, so it is twisted, but that is Scar.”

Scar woke up from her chair. “Hey, I’m not twisted.”

Laughter left Will and my lips.

“Max.” Her chin wobbled, and she came in for a hug.

“Stop crying. You made it out of the Run. We all did.”

“Thanks to you. Nobody said we would still have to live through the trauma of the Run.”

“Just imagine living with them.”

“I’m sure it’s not facing your worst fears.”

“I don’t know,” Will said. “My uncle said that the Seelie Court is a bit messed up. Not as cute and fluffy as everyone thinks.”

“Why do I still feel like shit?” I asked.

Scar sighed. “You lost a lot of blood.”

“He didn’t know, Scar,” Will added. “Maybe if you’d seen that we were the swamp monster, then I could’ve paid more attention to Commander Hendrix’s arrows.”

She rolled her eyes as she stared at me. “You will feel better in the next few days, okay?”

“From the amount of hybrids that gave you their blood,” Will said.

“I got hybrid blood?”

“Witches and vampires only,” Scar replied.

“Awesome. Maybe my spells will work now.”

Scar laughed. “There is nothing wrong with your witch’s side. You are rusty, that’s all.”

I chuckled.

“Thanks, Lane. For not giving up on us,” Will said.

“Hey, you were the first one not giving up.”
