I lifted the material up to my thighs and ran as fast as I could with one hand holding the material up.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get far before men dressed all in black descended. They were everywhere, coming straight toward me out of the darkness.
Shit.
I weaved to the left, hoping I could make it to the bushes before they caught me.
No such luck. Two men ducked out of the darkness. One of them turned, saw me, changed course, and started running directly at me. I dodged to the right and ran as fast as I could, my heart in my throat, my lungs burning, the muscles in my thighs reminding me I didn’t exercise nearly enough.
Two arms wrapped around me, bringing me to a screeching halt.
“No!”
I struggled and twisted and kicked my feet.
“Atlee, stop.”
“Fuck you!” I kept twisting.
“Princess, you’re safe.”
I kicked my legs, shoved my elbows back as hard as I could. I heard grunts and groans but the arms didn’t release me.
“Princess, stop!”
Princess.
I froze.
Wilson did not. He spun me around and lifted me.
There was shouting and commotion all around us.
He paid no mind and with me in his arms, he broke out into a sprint.
“The other women,” I whispered.
“They’ll be fine.”
“Louis is dead.”
I didn’t know why I said it, but I think I just needed to say it out loud.
“He’s rotting in hell,” Wilson amended.
“Did you—”
“Yes. My only regret is I couldn’t kill him a second time.”
She’ll have a man that will burn the world to the ground.
Now was not the time to have a proper conversation while he was running through the dark after rescuing me from a fate I didn’t want to think about.
So I settled on, “Thank you.”

I was so tired I could barely keep my eyes open.
