MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 80 — Both Ways
The wounded patrolman’s voice scraped through the maintenance chamber and seemed to vanish into the sounds of rushing water.No one touched the yellow latch.Gabriel’s hand remained half-raised toward it, fingers still, palm open. Slowly, he lowered his arm.Dean stared at the latch as though it had personally betrayed him. “I knew yellow was a suspicious color.”Rowan moved his light from the latch to the dark passage beyond the chamber. “What’s on the other side?”The patrolman tried to answer, but the effort folded him inward. He coughed once, wet and painful, then pressed his blood-slick hand harder against his side.Evelyn crouched closer.Not too close.His flare gun still rested against his thigh, and fear made people dangerous even when they were half-dead.“My name is Evelyn,” she said. “We came from the south ridge. Captain Vale sent us.”The man’s eyes sharpened despite the fever glaze. “Vale’s alive?”“Yes.”A breath went out of him.It might have been relief. It might hav
MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 79 — The Road Frostfang Forgot
Evelyn stood before the black mouth of the southern culvert with Caleb’s flashlight cold in her hand and water whispering over stone at her feet. The sound from inside came again after several seconds.A faint metallic click.Then nothing.Behind her, Dean breathed out very slowly. “I would like to revise my earlier position on scouting. I now believe that scouting is a concept invented by people who hate staying alive.”Rowan did not look back. “Quiet.”“I’m being quiet emotionally. My mouth is adjusting.”Gabriel crouched near the broken grate, one hand resting against the concrete lip of the culvert. Moss clung to the old structure in thick green strips. Rainwater dripped from roots overhead and pattered against rusted metal below. His eyes moved over the collapsed stones, the bent bars, the scrape marks along the mud.“Someone widened this,” he said.Evelyn stepped closer. “Recently?”“Not today. But not last winter.”Rowan knelt beside the partial footprint near the waterline. “R

The road no one had thought to guard began as a gap between two leaning pines.Caleb stopped the lead truck at the edge of it and stared through the windshield with open disgust.“No.”Gabriel stood on the running board, one hand braced against the door frame. “This is the service trail.”“This is a deer having a nervous breakdown.”“It widens after the first bend.”“Does it widen into a road?”Gabriel paused.Caleb closed his eyes. “I hate you a little again.”The convoy had left the overlook and descended below the ridge, following an old maintenance track until the ground flattened near a stand of dense firs. Mist clung low between the trunks. Frostfang was no longer visible from here, hidden by slope and forest, but the smoke still stained the air with a bitter edge.The vehicles were tucked beneath cover as best they could manage.Branches were pulled across reflective surfaces. Engines were shut down. People spoke in whispers, as if the forest itself might report them.The servi
MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 77 — Where Frostfang Stopped Looking
“We go where Frostfang stopped looking.”The words settled inside the relay shed like a decision with teeth.For a moment, only the rain answered; it tapped against the roof, slid down the warped doorway, and softened the mud outside into dark, shining patches. Beyond the overlook, Frostfang smoked beneath the low clouds. The eastern gate stood sealed in the distance, barricaded from the outside like a wound someone had tried to hold closed with metal and desperation.Warren stared at the southern approach on the map.“The drainage culvert,” he said.Gabriel nodded. “Old runoff channel below the southern wall. It cuts under the outer slope before turning west. Maintenance crews used to access it before the rockfall.”Vale shifted against the wall and winced as Mrs. Carter tightened another stitch. “It was removed from active patrol routes last winter.”“Because of the rockfall?” Evelyn asked.“Because command decided no infected would use a half-collapsed drainage route when roads wer
MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 76 — The Patrol’s Path
The shed went silent.Even Mrs. Carter’s hands paused over Vale’s wound.Rain tapped on the roof in quick, delicate sounds that had no right to exist beside the weight of what Vale had said. Outside, the convoy waited on the overlook. People whispered near the vehicles. Frostfang smoked in the distance, enormous and wounded beneath the low sky.Evelyn stood in the doorway of the relay shed with Rowan close behind her and Gabriel at her side.Wearing a patrol’s path like a key.The phrase made her skin crawl because she understood it too quickly.Not a disguise.Not clothing.Pattern.The Watcher had learned where the patrols walked, when they returned, which roads the guards trusted, and which signals meant a safe approach. It had not needed to break Frostfang’s defenses if the defenses opened around habit.Warren’s voice came rough. “Explain.”Vale leaned her head back against the wall while Mrs. Carter worked at her side. Her face had gone gray under the dirt, but her eyes stayed fo
MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 75 — Do Not Approach
Static swallowed the voice. For one breath, no one moved.The convoy stood scattered across the overlook in the thin rain, faces turned toward the lead truck as if the radio had become something alive inside it. Frostfang waited in the distance below them, walls dark against the mountains, smoke rising from inside the eastern quarter in thick, ugly columns.Evelyn felt the words settle under her skin.It learned the patrol routes.Not they.It.Warren reached the truck first and grabbed the radio handset. “This is the Fire Tower convoy, south of Frostfang. Identify yourself.”Static hissed back.He adjusted the dial with sharp, impatient movements. “Repeat. This is the Fire Tower convoy. We are south of Frostfang. Identify yourself.”For several seconds, only rain answered.Then a burst of sound tore through the speaker.“—don’t use eastern approach—”The voice cracked, faded, and returned thinner.“...watch posts compromised...”Warren leaned closer. “Who is this?”Gabriel stood near

The compound spent the next day pretending everything was normal. Nobody said it out loud. Nobody had to.The fence still stood. The attack had been small. The tower hadn't fallen.So people worked. They hauled lumber. Checked traps. Patched weak sections of fencing. And counted supplies for the hu
MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 27 — Bad Decisions
The eastern fence groaned under the weight of the storm, mud, rain, and poor construction, finally admitting what Evelyn had already seen.The support posts leaned downhill at an angle that made her stomach tighten. Water streamed beneath the fencing in thin brown rivers while freezing rain struck
MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 21 — Through the Fog
The footsteps stopped somewhere above the ravine.Rain drifted softly through the trees while everyone below remained completely still, listening to movement somewhere beyond the fog.More than one person—and human.Evelyn tightened her grip on the handgun automatically.Rowan slowly crouched near
MY EX LEFT ME TO DIE, SO I BECAME QUEEN OF THE APOCALYPSE Chapter 19 — Headlights
The engine noise grew louder through the fog. Everyone in the group stood still instinctively while rainwater dripped from the trees overhead and the creek rushed softly beside them.Not infected. Human. Though that no longer meant safe.Rowan motioned sharply toward the underbrush without speaking
