She had used the last ounce of strength in her lithe body to push the hiker up toward the patrol team.All
she hoped was that the hiker would be safe and sound.
Alyssa couldn’t call herself a competent park ranger and wear her badges if she hadn’t preparedherself
for the risk of death. She wasn’t afraid of it as long as it was a meaningful death.
Frankly, she didn’t used to be so brave. In fact, she used to whine and cry whenever her father and
stepmothers tried to bring her to the doctor for a shot.
She was 11 when she met him. That was when everything changed.
His bravado and determination were like the lighthouse she needed to guide her out from dark waters.
How he had intercepted danger to rescue her had permanently shifted her outlook on life.
It was the first time she had witnessed how selfless one could be for another.
Even if he had hurt her countless times after they married, Alyssa still couldn’t deny it.

“Shit!” Alyssa forced herself to calm down.
She muttered to herself, “I cannot die. I mustn’t! What would happen to Winston if I did? To Jonah and
Silas and Liam and … If I’m still alive, that means it’s not my time yet! I decide when I want to go!”
Just then, the branch above her let loose a loud snap.
Alyssa dared not say another word. She quickly pulled herself out from the rock and climbed onto safer
ground. Just as she did, the branch above her snapped in half.
The longer end fell right into the bottomless pit of the mountainside beneath her feet.
Alyssa’s heart nearly leaped from her throat at the sight, but she couldn’t be bothered to feel scared.Shenovelbin
