Everlasting Fire

Turns out rock bottom has a basement. And the Syndicate’s got the keys.

I swore I’d never end up back in their cages. But here I am—stripped of everything, trapped in a nightmare lined with steel and regret. The bloodlust is worse now, crawling under my skin like fire. Whatever they did to me, it’s changing me. And not in a way I like.

The worst part? I chose this. I gave myself up so Dominic and Alice could escape. Now I’m counting every second, hoping they’re still alive… and terrified of what I’ll become before they find me.

Because this thing inside me? It’s hungry. And I don’t know how long I can hold it back.

They wanted to break me. But I’ve been broken before. This time, I plan on returning the favor.
