I walked the whole way home, hoping that somehow I'd find the strength to fight the inevitable.
The Alpha tone had never been used on me before. I'd only seen it play out a handful of times before, and even then, I always thought the effects were dramatized.
I felt like a puppet on a string. I tried to will my body to move the other way, tried to force my hands to let go of the notepad that I was clinging onto tightly, but I couldn't. My fingers wrapped around it so tightly that they burned.
Henry's order rang in my head on repeat, and I knew that I wouldn't be able to stop until I'd completed it.
Such was the curse of the Alpha command.
I couldn't even stop to say hi to the people who greeted me. My movements were robotic, like an invisible leash was tugging me.
