Bella would make me leave her.
“I can feel you in there, Knox,” Banner chuckled at my back, far too close for comfort. “Love it when Alphas join so fucking scared.” I didn’t want to think about the fact that the evidence of that was physically present behind me.
This pack’s lust for fear, though, it wasn’t news to me.
Don’t think about that…
I grappled with the fresh bond, trying to shut it down, but I couldn’t get a grip on it.
I could feel the other Alphas in here, lurking like shadows in the night, each as sick and hateful as I’d always known they were.
“Now. What are we going to do with her?” Bella’s question snapped me back to reality.
“You said?—”
“I said, she wouldlive.” She cut me off. “I didn’t specify the state she’d be in.”
I lunged for her, but Victor, at her side, reacted, cutting me off, hand at my throat. I felt Banner behind me, a growl in his chest as he seized my arms behind my back.
“Watch the doors for Rogue, I’m sure he’ll be here in no time. Now—” Bella peered around. I felt a sharp pain at the back of my legs, and I crashed to my knees once more. Victor jammed his gun against my temple this time. “Which one of my Alphas should we give her to?”
“Youhavewhat you want!” My words were too desperate, and I knew they could all feel my terror.
She had me. She had my freedom. Myeverything.
Victor stepped around me, gun still present, but freeing up my sight to Bella.
“No, Lover, I don’t think I do,” she said, sweeping a curtain of blonde hair behind her shoulder. “I want devotion. Before we leave, you’ll see her ruined by one of mine so those foolish instincts can let her go.”
“Youfuckinghave me, Bella. I will be what you want.”
Once we were out of here, I’d have to trust Rogue to get her far enough away from here so I was free to find a way to end it.
“Then why do you look like you’re going to throw up?” she asked. Then she looked back at the room, eyes sliding from Alpha to Alpha. “Eenie, meenie…”
The world spun, panic closing like a fist around my throat as he counted them out.
What could I offer her?
I had nothing left to give.
But she was done already, pointing a finger toward an Alpha by the door. I felt a spike of excitement through this foreign bond I didn’t want. Something twisted and foul.
Thistle was being dragged from the floor, golden chain in an Alpha’s fist.
She wasn’t even fighting them, face pale, wide eyes and fixed on me. She looked broken as our eyes met.
“Count your blessings it wasn’t Victor, Lover,” Bella was saying. “Last Omega we let him have? Swallowed a chunk of him while he watched. Poor thing slit his own throat before we were finished.”
It was Quinn Hayes; I realised—the one I’d passed at the start. His fist was around the chain at Thistle’s neck as he leereddown at her. Another growl rolled up my throat at the sight of him holding it. But then it slipped a few inches as if in a dare.
The message was clear.
He wanted her to run.
She shrank back, starkly small before him as she hugged Bunny close, shoulders hunched in fear she couldn’t hide.
Her eyes slid to me, though, just for the briefest moment, and when she ran, it wasn’t to flee.
