He was gone.

Completely and totally gone.

The light in the room was blistering and making out shapes was hard. Finally shadows and glows settled.

They were together.

Rogue had her…

“No!”My voice came out as a croak. She was holding Bunny in her fist, tears streaming down her face.

I blinked, trying to push myself up.

No…

The world spun violently, but I found focus just in time to see Rogue pinning Thistle to the floor beneath him.

ROGUE

I hadn’t been able to stop painting a world I could never touch. At first, it had felt like insanity, but now I realised what it was.

Instinct: a smothering tide.

Shut my eyes and never return—It was temptation itself.

My Omega wept,

and sanity fled at last.

Knox couldn’t reach us.

She looked up at me,

And violet orbs glittered bright,

Desperate and afraid.

Chest heaving, I stared:

Broken, with pale neck open.

Finally alone.

I could keep her safe.

But iron bars still caged me.

I growled, pinning her.

A handle gripped tight.

A blade sliced at my numb throat.

Hot blood. Snapped leather.

Free.

At last.
