    “Yes. That’s Rayne. What’s wrong with her? Why is she crying? Rayne? Where is she?” “She is still hooked up to the life supports. We did the best we could for her. She was dead when we brought her in.” “Oh, god. Poor girl,” Anniel gasped clutching Cyn’s arms. “Take me to her.” “Not yet. We are keeping her isolated until her immune system strengthens. She is very vulnerable right now. In just a few more hours we will allow her to try to walk after Chameleon finishes with her.” “Finishes? What was done to her? I mean, I saw what that horrible king did. He raped the poor girl and was going to eat her.” Anniel shuddered at the memory. “And she was dead? How did you ever revive her?” Cyneolle was quiet a moment, making Anniel almost dread his answer. “We couldn’t revive her body. It was damaged beyond repair and contaminated. Chameleon built her a new one. He managed to salvage a few of her internal organs and used a sample of her DNA to grow new skin. She’ll be able to feel her body as if it were natural.” Anniel quaked at what he was saying. “Sh-she was turned into a cyborg?” “Her brain is fully organic. Chameleon removed it from her destroyed body, spinal cord and nerves intact, and transplanted it into the new body.

Each time I lose a piece of myself, it is replaced with cyborg hardware.” Anniel’s heart clenched. “Why do you fight?” “Because the citizens of Rhylos suffer.” His voice had gone deep and scary even though his hands continued to caress her back. “The so-called government pumps poison into the atmosphere and charges the citizens for fresh air.” Anniel swallowed. “How long have you been fighting?” “A hundred years. Before that, I was lulled into a false state of helplessness. My eyes were opened by the wolf bane society living here on Rhylos. They accepted me as one of their own when the Seraph’s would not.” Anniel bit her lip, blinking up to where she assumed his face was. She reached up and touched her cheek. “You said the nanobots repaired me from the inside out. Why am I blind?” His hand caressed her face again. “I could not bear letting them replace your beautiful eyes with cyborg technology. The acid from King Dred’s blood burned your corneal lenses.” She swallowed hard. Lucky for her he thought her eyes were beautiful. There was very little damage Remi could not repair. He’d practically brought Alluna back from near death once. Repairing her eyes would be easy for him… if she could manage to get back home. Anniel. She jumped when she heard Seth’s voice in her mind. His presence as well as the presence of the others filled ...
