“Good choice. We’ll make spots for the rest of the humans on your team. Your sister, father, and anyone else.”
He stands and takes a wide step over the bodies. “Walker will hand out assignments and instructions.”
With that, he leaves. Walker follows, saying, “You have five minutes to get yourselves together. I’ll meet you by the truck.”
Jackson is the last to leave the room, his brown eyes hard. I grab his arm and he stops. I ask him outright: “Is this the right thing to do?”
“It’s the only thing,” he says, walking out the door.
Wyatt and I are finally alone. We have five minutes. We haven’t had a conversation in days. Our lives change fast. I spare a glance at the bodies on the floor. So fast.
“What do we do?” I whisper.
“We join in and fight from the inside. We’ve done it before.”
“With disastrous results.” I remind him. “What if they find out about what we did today? What I did?”
His jaw tics. “They won’t.”
“But what if they do?”
He brushes my hair out of my face and cups my cheek. “Then they have to go through me.”
His words hit me like a punch because in the end it’s all we have—each other. Since the very beginning, Wyatt has had my back. He’s the only man to survive a full-on Hybrid-Mutt war and come out alive. I wrap my arms around him, stealing this one last moment.
Chloe had been right. The battle will never end. The Hybrids won’t stop but neither will the humans. It’s in our nature.
He kisses me; it’s too quick but there’s not enough time. With our hands wrapped together he asks, “You ready?”
I nod. “I’m going to have to be.”

Author Note
Hey guys,
So let’s get real. The Girl Who Broke Free was a harder book for me to write. Some real life stuff happened. My mother-in-law passed after a long illness and obviously that rocked our world. It became hard for me to focus and get my daily work together. I’m not exaggerating in the least when I say your notes, facebook posts, emails, reviews etc are so helpful and motivating. If you love a book series, IMO, this is the best way to see it happen. Just encourage the author (not the same as harassing haha) and it’s like magic juice to get us on track and focused.
My MIL was very supportive of my writing. She loved books. She loved reading and always was one of the firsts to grab my books (especially if it was on sale!) Not everything I wrote was her particular jam, but she always gave it a try.
This family situation has given us a lot of extra responsibilities but I’m on track for the final book in the series. From there I have something I’m pretty excited about and I can’t wait to share it with you. Thanks again for everything!

Laughter echoes off the hallways and I hear the clickety-clack of fingers over a keypad. My phone sits snugly in my hand like an old friend. There’s no service, but I can look at my pictures, through the screen that got cracked at some point along the way. I mean, I didn’t even remember having a cell phone until someone handed me a cord and said, “Want to use this?”
Cell phones.
Computers.
Electricity.
