The Alpha Plague 6: A Fast-Paced Post-Apocalyptic Thriller Read online

  As she kneeled there, surrounded by tall grass, she looked at the ground and listened to the stampede close in on her. It drew closer and closer until it got to within a few metres and she looked up.

  “Piotr,” she gasped as she stared into the bleeding eyes of the large Russian man. Of course he would be the alpha.

  But it wasn’t Piotr. Piotr had left that body the second the virus took him over.

  The imposing form of the former guard dived down on Vicky, body slamming her and crushing the air from her lungs.

  Pain ripped from Vicky’s cheek. Excruciating fire radiated from the bite outwards.

  The ground shook as more diseased closed in. The press of bodies quickly blocked out the light around her and several spots on her form lit up as more of the fuckers bit into her.

  After a spike in her panic, the buzz of pain faded a little. Vicky’s heart rate slowed. The blood loss made her dizzy as she lay there. She refused to look back. She wouldn’t give the fuckers the satisfaction.

  Every blink lasted slightly longer than the one before it as she lost her bearings. The heat from the fever and the press of bodies lifted sweat on her brow. Her eyes burned and she saw the world through a red tint. She thought of Flynn. Of the boy she loved more than anything in this life. She thought about … Who? What? She … she couldn’t remember … The boy? His face. Rage swelled within her as if her blood boiled. She smelled the metallic reek of her spilled life force. Her blood. Their blood. The smell made her mouth water. She could almost taste it. Her teeth snapped together as she bit the air. She bit again, her pulse hammering. Where were they? Bite. She could smell them. Bite. She needed flesh. Bite …
