About this ebook
They want me to confess.
I wake up in a white room, strapped to a chair. They are watching me from behind a glass wall. I did something terrible, they say. And they want to understand how an Omega was capable of such ferocity.
But the problem is… I can't remember anything. Not even my own name. The things they put me through… They won't help me remember. I close my heart, block them out, and they hate me for it. I hate them, too. And this shared hatred is what will bring us together.

CHAPTER ONE
I was naked and covered in caked blood when they took me. There was black, foul-smelling mud in my long blond hair. No one could tell its real color anymore. No one could tell the color of my skin, either. I hadn’t tried to run or hide after it had happened, so I stayed right at the scene of the massacre, lying on the ground, between the torn limbs of the people I once knew. My people. My pack. They were no more, but I still breathed. Even as I waited for death to come and take me, covered in leaves, dirt, and blood, I breathed. I hoped I’d die of thirst or hunger, but they found me before that. They found me and dragged me to a van, and when my head hit the cold metal of the van’s floor, I finally fell into a deep sleep. It was chilly in there, and it soothed my burning body. Why my skin and my insides felt so unbearably hot, I had no idea. I didn’t know. I couldn’t remember what had happened, how, why… All I knew was that the two men who’d collected my half-unconscious body from the forest, from among the pile of rotting corpses, had tied my arms behind my back and my legs at the ankles, thrown me into the van, and then they were driving away, the sound of the sputtering engine lulling me into a dream.
I woke up with the harshest, most unforgiving artificial light showering me from above. I kept my eyes squeezed shut and tried to use my other senses to understand where I was and what I was dealing with. From the way my body felt, I was still naked. I tried to roll my wrists, but they were bound. My ankles seemed to be bound, as well, to the legs of the chair I was sitting in. I pulled at the restraints and discovered another one around my belly, keeping me glued to the back of the chair, and another one around my neck. That one kept my head upright, when all I wanted to do was let it drop so I could sleep a minute longer.
Well, well, well… look who’s awake.
My ears perked. The voice seemed to be everywhere. The man who’d spoken wasn’t in the room with me, otherwise I would have felt him. Smelled him.
Open your eyes. You’ve kept us waiting long enough.
His voice sounded deep and demanding. But I wasn’t ready to open my eyes yet. I wasn’t ready to face reality, whatever that reality was.
Open your eyes, I said!
He was losing his patience.
Do you want me to go in there?
Another voice – calmer and more calculated. I can make her.
Not yet. For her own good, she’ll cooperate.
For my own good… Who were these people? The light was still unbearable, but I felt like it was safe to open my eyes. I was getting used to it. Slowly, my eyelids fluttered open, and the world came crashing down on me.
I was bound to a tall, black chair of steel and leather, caged in a room that had three white walls and one transparent wall made entirely out of glass. Behind it, there were two men – one speaking into a microphone, and the other standing a few steps behind him, with his arms crossed over his chest. The first one was wearing stark white scrubs, and the second one was clad in a black and
