Chapter 218:
I gasped when the time and place snapped into focus.
The hospital in Mystopia. The unconscious man I siphoned awake—the one that led to my supervisor’s death and the Executioners coming after me. He was Jaris’ brother? What the hell?
LYRIC
“You’ve been out for a long time,” he said, tilting his head to the side. “I want to believe your memory is still intact p>
An intense, biting acidity flooded my mouth, making me wince with its harshness.
He didn’t recognize me. Back then, when his eyes opened, he’d only seen the ugly girl.
I shivered at my situation. I was sure the men behind him were Feeders. But what was he doing with them? And why did they give him so much respect, like he was their leader or something?

“No!” I screamed. “What are you… what are you doing p>
But he didn’t seem the least bothered by my reaction.
My chest was exposed, revealing the black bra I had on.
I shivered when his index claw slipped between my breasts.
“That’s the secret of my claws. A cut like this…” He broke my skin with his claw, eliciting a sharp cry from me—this hurt far worse than the one on my neck. “…will not kill you. It’ll only hurt for a long time. But let’s say I go deeper p>
