Chapter Thirteen

Before I realized how much time had passed, we were landing again.

I’d put my head against the seat the moment I’d sat, and my eyes had slipped shut. Exhaustion had claimed me within an instant, and so I hadn’t even been aware of the journey back into the city. I’d only been vaguely aware of movement, my thoughts mixing with dreams of being back on Earth, before all of this had happened, and I’d dreamed of going to meet my friend, Camille, for drinks like it was the most normal thing in the world.

I had no idea what was normal anymore.

The vehicle landed a distance from the safe house, and we hustled through the streets, staying low and quiet, and listening for any sign of Borys’s guards going house to house. Night had fallen at some point while I’d been sleeping, and the curfew Borys had brought in was still in place, and the streets were quiet. There was a sense of anticipation in the air, like we were all holding our breath, expecting something or someone to challenge us, but for once, we were granted clean passage and reached the house without incident.

The other teams had already returned. I scanned their faces, subconsciously counting their number to make sure we’d all made it back and hadn’t lost anyone.

Zoe spotted me coming through the door, and she pushed past others to reach me.

I embraced her hard.

“We did it, Tara!” Her eyes were shining. “We took down the other facilities. We fought back!”

I grinned at her delight. “Yes, we did. Well done.”

“We couldn’t have done it without you. I didn’t really appreciate what you were trying to achieve at Polityk Borys’s place, but I do now.”

Something had changed inside Zoe, and my heart swelled with happiness for her. She’d been given something to hope for, a way of taking back control, and it had done her the world of good. She no longer seemed so afraid of the rebels either, smiling at those she’d been teamed up with. Trovik pushed an elbow to her side and spoke against her ear, teasing her about something while she laughed. I thought Aleksy might be right when he’d said that all they needed to convince some of the human women to stay was time. Of course, there would always be those who had families of their own already on Earth, who would never consider staying for a moment, but those single women who had little to go home for might form the kinds of connections that would make them want to stay.

The atmosphere inside the safe house was one of celebration. It was hard to believe we’d achieved what we’d set out to do, and without loss of life—at least, the loss of the rebels’ lives. Trad lives had been taken, and that still sat uneasily on my shoulders.

I pressed closer to Miko’s side, and he glanced down at me and smiled a sexy, lopsided grin. I rested my head on his biceps—he was too tall for me to reach his shoulder.
