He let me say all that stuff about him, and he just listened to me. Heat crawls up my neck, but nothing compares to the anger burning in my chest.

Blinking at the men, I’m at a loss for words. I have no idea why my wolf seemed interested in this Alpha and wanted me to sidle up closer to him. She must have her wires crossed because this Alpha is everything I don’t want in a partner. Arrogant. Dominant. Pushy.

I rip my stare from his and find Lucien’s eyes piercing through me. His attention drags up and down my body, taking all of me in. A nervous excitement builds inside me, which is wrong. Nothing about either of these shifters should have my body responding to theirs, but it does. I overheat, and my nipples harden against the fabric of my top. Beneath their gazes, I feel exposed, as though I’m the one standing in front of them naked.

Lucien’s gaze swings up to my eyes, and I can’t look away from those hypnotic steel-colored orbs crowned by long dark lashes. “Is this her? Meira?”

“Yeah,” Dušan responds, shooting me a satisfied look. “She’s feisty, so watch the claws.”

I sneer at him as he hands over the rope tied around my wrists to Lucien, then strides over to the rear of the vehicle.

Words graze my mind, but from utter shock, they refuse to come out. I’m stuck with two shifters who have my wolf rumbling for closeness, yet who are kidnapping me from my freedom.

“Put her in the back, and let’s get out of here,” Dušan orders as he opens the rear door of the vehicle. He pulls out clothes, then steps into the blue jeans with frayed hems. As he tucks himself away, he lifts his gaze toward me and winks.

I’m fuming.

Lucien snatches my elbow and drags me to the back door of the vehicle. He opens the door for me. “After you.”

I lift my tied hands to climb in and push myself up, finding it harder to do with my wrists bound.

There’s a shove at my back, and I fall forward onto the seat. I turn my head. “You’re a real charmer, you know that?”

The door smacks shut just as Dušan closes the rear one.

“Assholes!” I yell as both men stand outside, whispering in private. I search the floor and back of the car for any weapons. Only clothes in the back. I shuffle across to the opposite door and tug at the handle. Locked. Of course it is.

The pair outside walk back to the car and jump into the front seats.

My stomach lurches as we take off down the road.

Dušan leans back and looks at me from the front. Blue eyes stare at me, burning like an inferno through me as he fixes his gaze on my face. “Get comfortable. It’s a long drive.”

I look away from him and stare out the window as we pass the forest. The place I once called home. Driving past it feels bittersweet. There is no way out of this for me.
