Chapter

Nineteen

SAM

I sat up with a jerk, feeling like I had just fallen from a skyscraper.

One moment, I had been surrounded by nothing. Just a vast, gray expanse where time and substance were completely nebulous concepts.

I had barely even experienced my own thoughts in that awful, empty space. I couldn’t scream, or even feel true fear.

Fear was an emotion. It was something. The place I’d gone to once I was plunged into the gray was pure, unadulterated nothingness, and despite knowing full well that hellfire was probably the only reward waiting for me in the afterlife after all my betrayals, I had never experienced anything more terrible.

While the concept itself had evaded me during that time, as soon as I was thrust back into the harsh, beautiful grip of reality, I had a word for what and where that place was.

The Other.

It was exactly as Chase had described it. It could hardly be anything else.

And yet, as I found myself back in my body, along with all the blissfully agonizing sensations that came along with it, all I could think about was him.

There was someone close by, and I grasped onto his arm like he was a lifesaver in the center of the ocean, and he might as well have been.

My nails dug in and I saw the pain register on his face before I fully recognized the face as Cyrus’s.

They weren’t nails anymore, they were fucking claws.

I looked down at the blood seeping through Cyrus’s shirt sleeve, and I could smell the blood more acutely than ever. I looked back up at him, feeling like a newborn suddenly thrust into the harsh, unforgiving world.

I knew this feeling, too. I’d experienced it many times before.

All the times she’d killed me.

All the times I’d come so fucking close to loosing myself from her grip…

I could remember now. Only in bits and pieces. Glimpses of past lives that didn’t feel like they belonged to me, but then again, neither did this body.

It was all jumbled, out of order, out of time.

“Where is he?” My voice sounded raspy, like I’d swallowed glass.

Out of all the memories and past lives that were swirling around me, trying to find where they belonged, Chase was the one and only thing that mattered.

I finally knew who and what I was now. I understood it even if it was patchy, but it didn’t change anything.

It didn’t change the fact that I’d chosen him.

The look on Cyrus’s face told me the answer wasn’t one I was going to like. “You need to calm down. The shift still hasn’t fully settled.”

“Shift?” I choked out.

Someone came up on my other side and my head whipped around, a monstrous snarl unfurling from the center of my chest that sounded like a cobra’s hiss.

It was an automatic reaction until I saw it was Alex. He was human again, fully clothed and holding a glass of water.

“You changed,” he said in a sullen tone, holding the glass out to me. “Drink this.”

I took the water, my hands shaking and clumsy, as I was still trying to remember how to work them.
