A ic that would extract its payment in souls

Drake’s soul

FURY

His blood would flow

His bones would snap

His life squeezed to nothingness in my fist

The man I’d been sank to the botto who’d been afraid of his power

A god who hadn’t been able to protect his goddess

I was no longer divine

I was no longer human

I was a va for blood

I was hell

I was death

I Am Fury

Chapter One

SULLY

His fall into the ocean was on repeat inside my head

Tripping out the door

Plu down, down, down

My heart squeezed each time his splash replayed

A splash and then…nothing

My thoughts weren’t inover the sea, but back there Back where Sully had fallen Where he’d disappeared Where we’d been separated against our will

Sully…please

Almost an hour had passed

The longest, nightmarish hour since I’d last seen him

Since I kneas alive…

“Descending,” the pilot yelled over the din “Found it”

The pilot’s voice broughtbeneath s

I glanced out the , shuddering as Drake’s hold on htened

Monyet

The island with a large laboratory hidden within its paradise, pus that went above and beyond aphrodisiacs, creating who knehat else within its walls

Sully…are you okay?

My mind split down the ht while staying firmly on Sully’s in my past

It was like staring into two mirrors

A ed to rise fro unfolding events taking me farther and farther away from him

“About fucking tiines cut offdown the moment we touched land

I shuddered again, overfloith disgust as Drake pushed me off his lap and onto the seat beside him

For fifty minutes or so, the pilots had ski to figure out which one housed a lab Unfortunately, it’d becoled below

The smaller islands with no inhabitants were easy to discount, followed by those with s whatever tasks Sully had set for theala, and directly in the centre of a fortified encaed with fences and pal of scientific dealings

“We’re on the main helipad within the barbwire perimeter,” the older pilot said “They’ll have heard us arrive Better figure out your story, quick”

“I don’t need a story,” Drake said “This is family owned, and I’ inside is mine”

“Nothing is yours,” I snapped “You’re a thief”

He chuckled, his eyes still tight with fatigue froence with elixir “Thief? I prefer to be called an opportunist”

“Bastard suits you more”

He shrugged “I don’tup the lab he’d come to raid

Drake had been bold and uncaring that he trespassed He’d stolen so much from Sully already…and now, his thievery would continue on a different island

Sully…
