Alexa stopped talking long enough to get a drink and few hits from the smoke that Edward tossed to her from his place atop the lead supply wagon. She stretched, listening to the field around them, but it seemed like even that predatory threat wanted to hear the rest.

“When it was over, we’d won. My father’s men were still the best I’ve ever seen and they drove the government troops off of the island.” She sighed. “But we had to leave. Burning it kept the enemy from finding any clues, but it also drew more soldiers and they attacked whoever they could reach-the island residents. I forced myself to watch it. I controlled myself until I didn’t feel anything except the hate and vengeance I nursed every day after that. The feeling of losing my father, of being robbed, has never faded.”

“Did you see him again?” Paul broke the moment with his too-loud voice.

“Once,” she answered, standing. “It’s time to be sleeping. Dawn comes again soon.”

Alexa’s men were almost in shock. They’d never heard Alexa speak about emotions or show as much of herself to strangers as she had tonight. It was surprising to hear her talk of youthful insecurities and scarring events. It was also intriguing to have these newest pieces to her puzzle. It explained more and more for her men, and made it easier to figure out why they followed her. She’d been battling and surviving like this her entire life. It was all she’d ever known.
