Property of Blade (Kings of Anarchy MC: Alaska #1)

Hannah

Prophet has stayed with me for a week now. Every day, he’s been a constant presence, a silent shadow watching over me while I try to make sense of everything that’s happened. Jasper’s body is gone. The backyard where it once was has a burn mark on the ground. It’s a stark reminder of the violence that once soaked this place. The bite on my shoulder throbs, a dull ache that refuses to leave, but when Blade’s near, it fades. It’s as though my body craves him, needs him in ways I don’t understand. But I can’t bring myself to face him, not yet, not after what I’ve seen, after everything that’s changed.

But when the ache in my shoulder stops, I know he’s close.

Today, Prophet is taking me into town. He says I need to see that life still goes on, that the world hasn’t fallen apart. He’s wrong, though. It feels like everything is upside down, and I’ve stepped into some alternate universe where nothing makes sense.
