God Save The Queen (The Immortal Empire) - Plot & Excerpts
I wanted to wake to peace and warmth in a place where trying to suss out what I was didn’t get people killed, and I didn’t get shot by mental-arse humans. Instead I opened my eyes and discovered that I was in hospital. The flimsy little gown they’d put me in had tiny pink piggies on it. My first thought was that I had to have been in bad shape to be admitted. My second, I’m ashamed to admit, was whether or not they’d let me take the nightie home with me. “It’s about fucking time,” growled a voice to my right. I turned my head with a smile. Vex rose from a chair beside my bed. He was still in his evening clothes, though his cravat hung loose about his neck. He looked tired, drawn and terribly gorgeous. “Heaven’s better than I imagined,” I told him, my voice a rasp. I took back what I’d thought earlier about him contemplating killing me. There was no faking how wrecked he looked at that moment. It was as comforting as it was terrifying. “Don’t even joke,” he chastised me, taking a cup of water from the nightstand and holding it for me to take a sip.
