I looked behind his shoulder, down the long corridor. I could see King’s room and where we played as kids. Who would have thought I’d be standing here tonight, possibly about to walk into his father’s room to fuck him?

I pushed the doors open onto Kaius, but he wasn’t the only one in the room. There was another man standing in the corner, shirtless and wearing nothing but slacks. He was skinny, tall, and not all that attractive. “Afternoon, Cartier.” Kaius was the first to greet me. He always was. “I am so glad you made it.”

I didn’t have a fucking choice.

Closing the door behind me, I leaned my head against it. “No offense, Kaius, but I don’t want you touching me.” He chuckled a little before moving across the room. Pouring a glass of whiskey from the small bar, he gestured to the bed.

“Remove your clothes, Cartier. We’re here to help you.” I wished I could turn back time and be back outside with Jordan and Christopher. I was not ready for this. No way! Spinning around, I squeezed the handle in my hand and went to pull it back open and run, but a hand slammed over the wood, keeping it closed.

I closed my eyes as bile rolled up my throat at the proximity of Kenny behind me. His lips touched the nape of my neck and I shivered from my skin crawling. “We’ve got you all night. We will start with the basics.” His finger came to the base of my spine. “Don’t speak.” He moved me across the room with my hand, pushing me onto the bed. I fell down in a thump. All I could focus on was the pattern on the ceiling above. Deep swirls indented into the plaster and flowers erupted outside of it. He started to remove my clothes, but I didn’t move.

“Cartier,” Kaius said, and I turned my head back when his shadow fell over my face. “You need to participate. You know the rules.” Fuck the rules. I didn’t want this. I didn’t want men touching me that I didn’t approve of. I didn’t want Kaius’ hands all over my body, touching me in the same places Keaton’s did.

“Okay,” I whispered, swallowing past the lump that had formed in my throat. I could do this. It’s part of it. I was Kiznitch. I was strong as fuck. My lip trembled when my jeans were being removed and a finger glided down the slit of my vagina. I wasn’t strong. I could feel myself slowly crumbling around him as every second passed. I didn’t want to breathe because I’d breathe their air.

Someone crawled up my body, hovering over the top of me and blocking the view of the ceiling. Kenny. “I’m going to fuck you to see what you’ve got, and then we’ll work on other things like…” His fat penis rammed inside of me and I wailed a little, tears prickling the corner of my eyes. He drew out. “…how to use sex as a weapon. How to harness the pain people give you and use it to strengthen your mind.” He jack-knifed inside of me relentlessly, and when I reached up to swipe the tears from my eyes, I hit Kaius’ leg with the back of my hand. Peering up again, I watched him standing above me, stroking himself in his hand.

“Open your mouth, Cartier.”

“I don’t—” He shoved himself inside my mouth before I could say my next words and I cried around him. Caressing the front of my throat with his thumb, he continued to coo me as they both drew inside and outside of me. How did I not know that this was what happened? Maybe this was why Delila was the way she was. Time went on. They threw me around, changed positions, and after Kenny spilled inside of me, Kaius released himself over my body and they both fell back onto their chairs, bodies sweaty and breaths heavy.

I stayed. Quiet. Numb. My choice was taken away, that’s what they taught me.

There was a knock on the door before it opened and a large shadow came into my peripheral. Turning my head, I locked onto Bam Bam.

He stopped inside the door, looking between Kaius and Kenny and me, before he kicked the door closed behind him.

Oh no.

I fall into Killian’s arms as the memory fades out, squeezing him around the waist.

He remains passive, one arm locked tightly around my body as if he’s scared I’m going to run away. “Rape? You and that piece of shit raped her?”

“What!” Kyrin launches forward and Kohen catches him by the wrist to try to stop him, but Kyrin swings around and punches him straight in the nose. All hell breaks out behind me and King grabs Keaton by the back of the collar, but I stay in the same spot. Unable to move. Killian dragging his talons down a memory I never wanted to remember felt like I’d been dropped into the pits of hell. I need to stay near Killian until my mind has caught up. I didn’t want to relive that memory alone, so for once, I’m thankful for the gifts that are passed down like a generational curse within Kiznitch.

I’ve never felt Killian so frozen. So sure. “Kill them all.”

“Killian…” Kaius blinks, and I feel myself warm to my surroundings. I’m safe. I’m with my family. I’m safe. I stand straight, slowly releasing from his body.

Killian turns back on me, his hands on my cheek. “Can I share with them what I saw?” Guilt slams into my chest, but I slowly nod. “Were any of the other Fathers ever involved with this?” Silence falls around us. Suddenly, no one is arguing or fighting, and Kaius isn’t yelling. “Because we’ll kill. Them. All.” The strong smell of blood still clings to my nostrils. Do I want more? I’m not good with blood, or bodies, or death in general. I don’t handle it as well as The Brothers or Lilith.

Sass and Perse stand behind Lilith now, with King directly behind Keres, awaiting orders. “How many were there?”

Killian raises his eyes up at King before whispering, “Just Kaius and Kenny, but Bam Bam did walk in at the end.” I freeze at the mention of Bam Bam.

King looks at his father. “You betrayed the family unit that Kiznitch prides themselves on.”

“It is part of her training, son. That’s what they all had to—”

“—we are not fucking Patience!” King roars, and I swear birds drop dead from the trees behind us. Among the chaos, I turn back around to see those same people still having sex. I seek out Jordan and Christopher, who waltz back down into the courtyard, cleaning blood off their blades. Who the hell did they just kill? I nudge my head toward the naked sex show, and Jordan and Christopher both give me a firm smile in agreement and begin escorting the couples out. Hopefully not to kill them. Shit, will they kill them because they’ve seen too much?

Kaius’ shoulders straighten as he flicks his suit up proudly. “If you kill me…” My eyes snap to his. “You’ll never see Eli again and he will die.”

My world stops. “What?” I take a step closer to him, but an arm is around my waist, pulling me against a hard chest with a protective hand pressed against my stomach. My muscles relax into the familiar touch, but it’s too late because now I want answers. “What the fuck has Eli got to do with this?”

Kaius peers up at me, shoving Lilith away so hard she lands on her ass, and slowly lowers himself to the chair he was on. His wrinkled fingers curl around the goblet as he slowly lifts it to his mouth. “Oh, it has everything to do with the little King.” He points to the chair beside him. “All of you, sit the fuck down.”

Keaton kisses my head, directing me to the chair at the end of the table. Everyone is a blur because my eyes are murky still from tears and blood, but I cling to him like he’s the only clarity I’ll ever have.
