After switching places with Val, I gunned the accelerator, speeding toward the back gate. We weren’t out of Alazar yet, but my blood hummed and my skin itched as freedom was just beyond the reach of my clawtips.

It was only a matter of time before the Uldani unleashed as many Kulk Defens as they could to hunt us down. The fortress walls rose high and forbidding in front of us, but I focused on the small car-shaped gate we were racing toward.

I pressed a button on the dashboard. “Open rear gates.”

The voice crackled to life. The damage sustained to the vehicle must have rattled something loose because she was sounding a little hoarse. “P-permiss-shhhhhon d-d-d-denied.”

“Denied?” I hollered and slammed my fist on the wheel. The vehicle shuddered and Val’s eyes nearly bulged out of her head.

“Denied?” she echoed my words. “What does that mean? We can’t leave?”

“Gram said he gave us access.” I tapped my fingers on the cracked screen.

“He wouldn’t do this to us,” Val murmured. “I looked in his eyes. He was honest!”

I didn’t have the cora to tell her that no Uldani was honest. “Access permissions,” I said to the car. “What is our access level?”

“Access l-l-level is a fi-i-ive.”

“I don’t understand,” I said. “A level five means we should be able to open the gates. I know this. This was my flecking job!”

“Rear g-g-gate access has been clos-s-s-s-ed to all levels b-b-b-ecause of internal emergen-gen-gency,” the voice crackled.

“Fleck!” I roared. “They can’t remotely deny an individual car’s access, but they can change the permission levels on the exits.” Panic welled in my chest, squeezing my lungs until I could barely breathe. “Why didn’t I think of that?”

Val reached for my biceps, her wide eyes peering up into my face. “It’s okay, Sax. We did everything we could.” The resignation in her voice cracked my cora wide open.

Ever since the cora-eternal loks had appeared on our wrists, I’d felt her in my mind, a golden salibri with black stripes standing proud and quiet. But now that salibri lay down, its belly flat on the floor, nostrils wide and flaring. No way would my lioness give up. I wouldn’t let her.

“What?” I whipped my head to her. “It’s not okay. I haven’t done everything I can. Not yet.”

“Can I override gate permissions?” I asked the car.

“Only with e-e-elite level access-s-s-s. Scan if in your p-p-p-possession.”

“Elite level what?” Val asked.

I let out a long, low breath of relief and didn’t slow down as we approached the gates.

“Sax, slow down!”

I waved my hand in front of the screen, the key ring Gram had given us shining on my first knuckle. “Here’s your elite level, you fleckers.”

The sweet, sweet words of “Access-s-s-s approv-v-v-ed” fill the car, and the gates flew open. We soared through them, the edges of the doors scraping the sides of our car with an animal-like shriek on our way out.

“Holy shit.” Val whirled around.

I glanced over my shoulder to see the gates closing. We were out from behind the walls.
