Collared - Chapter 4 - Reason
Crashing, screaming, the groan of metal being twisted, broken. Isaac could hear in the distance ahead, mixing with his own frantic breaths as he struggled to keep up with Riley. Somehow the other Collar had managed to lose him, so he had to make his...
Collared - Chapter 5 - Stand...
[_Wake up._] Isaac's head rang as his alarm went off. He didn't want to get up, it was too early. That, and he felt hung over. "Too early." He groaned, "My head...ugh..." Rolling over with an outstretched arm, he searched for his LINK, hoping to...

Collared - Chapter 12 - Lucidity

Collared - Chapter 15 - Lighter
It was an old subway platform, and Dominic didn't know why it had been abandoned. He didn't care, and it didn't matter. All that mattered was the purpose it was serving now. It was new enough to have been outfitted with Lightglass fixtures, but it was...
Collared - Chapter 11 - Accumulate
"Start from the beginning." Canaan instructed as he settled into his high backed leather chair, shifting around and getting comfortable. Around the sides of the chair, Isaac had an exquisite view of the city below. From a distance, the city of...
