with the Alpha. Now."

carefully, “My friend is in the hospital.”
“Oh. Alexander studied my face for a moment, and at first, | thought he might refuse anyway. But he finally
nodded. “No problem. Take whatever tyou need. I'll have Lilith cover your duties.”
“Thank you.” | didn’t wait to hear Alexander's response, if there even was one, before | turned and fled.
A little while later, I burst into the hospital where Liam was being kept. | found his room on the third floor. The
door was cracked open, and through the gap, | could see him lying in the bed with an IV in his arm. He looked
pale. Too pale.
Even though | wanted to run and hide away as if that could somehow fix my grave mistake, | pushed the door
open and stepped inside, wringing my hands.
Liam's eyes opened. “Ella.”
“What did they say?” | moved to his bedside and grabbed his hand. “What's wrong with you?”

| had given my friend fucking cancer.
“No,” | whispered, burying my face in my hands. “No, this can’t be happening.”
“Hey. It'll be alright.” Liam reached out and gently pulled my hands away from my face. Of course he was
smiling, just happy | was alive, like he wasn’t going to die now. And unlike mine, his bloodline wasn’t affected by
a curse that allowed him to be reborn when he died.
“How can you say that?” Tears were streaming down my face now. | couldn't stop them. “You're dying because of
me. Because | told you the truth. Because | was selfish and stupid and-"
“Ella, stop.” Liam's grip tightened. “This isn’t your fault.”

you're... You're...”
| couldn’t finish the sentence. Couldn’t say the words out loud.
Liam pulledcloser until my head was resting on his chest. “I don’t regret it,” he said quietly. “Even knowing
what would happen, | wouldn't change anything. You're alive. That's all that matters.”
But it wasn't all that mattered. Not when the cost was his life.

After searching through the hospital records for a few moments, he said a woman with auburn hair and silver
eyes and wearing a gray Omega uniform had checked into a room on the third floor.
I made my way up to the third floor and down the hall, still not sure why | was even here. | decided that | just
wanted to catch a glimpse, then | would turn and leave.
But when | peeked through the window of 314 and saw Stella sitting on the edge of a hospital bed with a familiar
