He licks my face with his stinky beastly breath. Our happy reunion is short-lived as I realize I wasn’t able to save mine.
At least, not yet.
Tomorrow, we’ll hunt those motherfuckers who took my family down.
I’ll get my siblings back.
I’ll be able to tease Raegan and watch her eyes ignite with stubborn fury. Maybe I’ll even get to kiss her again. The thought of peeling away all of her clothes so I can explore every inch of her is exciting and something to look forward to.
And Ronan?
I’ll make sure he never thinks about another man again. I can be the one he experiments with. He can put his mouth on me or mine on him. If he wants to come, I’ll jerk him off.
They’re mine to take care of and make happy.
We’ll just keep those times a secret from our parents. I’ll make sure they never find out. Life will be better than good. It’ll be fucking perfect.
Soon.
So very soon.

He’s not allowed to touch you.
Somehow, CJ was right. This group is cruel and awful, but there’s some sort of hierarchy and rules system in place. Tom did make me sleep in his tent with him and his two children and kept me pinned under his heavy arm all night, but he didn’t touch me like I’d feared.
Having sex with Tom would be disgusting and horrible.
If they hadn’t stolen us away, my first time might’ve even been Ryder. The two of us kissed hard and frantically. He’d touched me in ways that made my body light up like lightning striking a tree. A few more moments alone and we could have had sex.
God, I’d wanted that so bad—whatever he was willing to give me.
But now I’m stuck in this nightmare.
All day, I’d been kept away from Ronan as we packed up our camp and trekked farther into the wilderness. His eyes were downcast, shoulders hunched. Anytime I’d try and get his attention to check on him after last night, Tom would push me along or Logan would block my view.
Logan hurt him last night.
I heard my brother’s cries of pain and sorrow but was powerless to help him.
Tonight, I’m being punished. Tom made me sit by myself away from the group. Their group laughs and cuts up while my people sit quietly. It infuriates me that they treat us like possessions to do whatever it is they feel like with.
CJ approaches and sits down on the log beside me. He’s one of them, a liar and a traitor, but I don’t send him away with my vicious words. I’m going crazy unable to talk to anyone. Maybe I can get information out of him or gain enough trust I can escape.
As much as the thought of escape entices me, it’s not that simple. I can’t leave by myself. There are so many of us who need rescuing. It’s overwhelming.
“Tom says he didn’t touch you,” CJ says, not making eye contact. “You can tell me if he did.”
“He forced me to smell his deadly body odor all night, but no, he didn’t touch me like that.”
In fact, it wasn’t horrible. Wyatt was a good big brother to Oliva, telling her knock-knock jokes to make her giggle. I’d fought off a smile or two and even heard Tom chuckling before everyone settled in for the night. Things definitely could have gone a lot worse.
CJ turns, flashing me a conspiratorial grin that might’ve once been attractive to me. Not anymore. “Good. I saw you first, so I should be the one who gets to.”
My lip curls up and I glower at him. “I’m not some prize to be won. I’m a person.”
CJ has the wits about him to appear embarrassed. “Sorry, Raegan. I know that. I’m just trying to make you feel better. You will be married soon and even though Tom is older, I saw you first and laid claim. My uncle might have us present an argument as to who should be able to marry you, but mine is stronger. Tom already has kids, whereas I don’t. Plus, you and me already have a connection.” He touches my thigh and gives it a squeeze that makes me shudder. “You could help plead my case.”
Unable to stand his touch any longer, I shove his hand away. “I will never marry one of you monsters. And if you try to have sex with me, know right now that it won’t ever be willingly on my part. I will not be having anyone’s babies.”
His features darken and his eyes flicker with anger. “One of us will fuck you soon, little virgin, rest assured. It’s your choice whether or not you decide to enjoy it.”
“If you have to resort to stealing girls from their beds in the middle of the night, it’s very doubtful I’d enjoy it even if you tried.” I spit at him. “You’re pathetic.”
