NovelBarX Avery's pov The weight of the news made my tummy hurt and my heart aches. It felt like someone had struck their hand through my chest, got a grip on my heart, and squeezed it until it bled. My knees grow weak as the room begins to spin around me.
Xade is right behind me, pullingin his arms as I looked at the screen in horror. Xaden takes the remote fromand switches the channels, but every single one that cup seems to be talking about this "very dangerous patient” who escaped, aka me.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtXade growled harshly. "Put it off!" Xaden obeys and the TV screen goes black. But I can't stop seeing that footage ofrunning down the halls while the anchor's voice drew up a narrative that paintedas this so called dangerous fugitive.
"Did you see it?" Melissa whispered, her voice heavy with anxiety.
"Yeah," I choked, my fingers gripping around the phone hard. "How....
After you left he cback and I made an excuse that I left to get a cup of coffee and when I cback you were gone. Then he had everyone searching for you Avery, it was like this man had gone crazed. You should have seen his eyes," Melissa whispered in fright.
"I didn't know what to do so I managed to sneak out. I only saw the news this morning and I don't understand why he would say you're a threat to society and dangerous. You're only pregnant- She stops, her breath hitching. "Do you think this could be because of that animal DNA thing?" I stiffen, my heart accelerating. Could that be the reason why? Why would he think I am dangerous because of this? "I don't know," I whispered, my lower lip trembling as I rest my other hand on my stomach protectively. They put a bounty on my head as if I were skind of criminal who escaped the hospital.

Xade begins to pace the floor, running his fingers through his hair. Xaden looks lost and confused and Kaylee looks unsure of what to do. That makes the two of us.
"This can't be right. Why would they put her up there like she was sfucking criminal?" Xade snarled. Xaden looks at me, his brows furrowing. "When was this video taken?"

All along it was the memories returning but Melissa called 911 and they broughtto the hospital. The doctor," I swallowed nervously. "The doctor found animal DNA in my blood."
Xade cursed under his breath, cupping my face with both hands as he searches my eyes. Dknow you're seared baby, but I promise you I will protect you. We will get this sorted out."
"He must be one of those secret hunters who work in places like this to capture our unguarded kind,"m Xade's father uttered as he strolls into the living room with his wife by his side. She smiles atreassuringly but I cannot help but feel more uncertain, especially with her husband's words fluttering in the air.
This was huge. I was on all news broadcasting channels, labeled as a very dangerous person. A danger to society. I cannot help but feel like a caged animal. His eyes move from Xade to mine.
