I run through Priory Forest,the wind chasing after me as I bolt from tree to tree, firmly clutching the knife. Snowflakes fall all around me, but the cold only spurs me to run faster. The woman running away from me loses one of her shoes halfway across the small stream in the middle of the clearing, but she keeps going, and it fires up the adrenaline coursing through my veins.
THWACK!
A knife flies right past my ears, brushing along my skin before it lodges into the tree right next to me.
I look behind me to see a masked guy licking his lips. “Not this time, Lana!”
Those blond hairs waving in the wind give him away, and I wink through my kitty mask before I continue my hunt.
The woman screams as I catch up with her.
Nathan’s on my heels, but before he can get close, I’ve jabbed my knife straight into her heart.
“Please …” she murmurs.
“That’s what your victims said too when they begged you not to sell them to the Bones Brotherhood. Too fucking late.”
I twist the knife around, blood spurting out all over me.
“Bad kitty,” Nathan groans as he comes up behind me. “Killing our prey already?”
“I told you I’d win,” I muse, ripping the knife out of her body before I adjust the red ribbon in my hair.
He tilts his head. “And I think we told you what would happen if you attempted to steal this one too.” He licks his lips, and I can feel the terror sink into my heart.
The kind of terror that makes my pussy throb and my brain spring to life.
More rustling up ahead makes me turn my head. A redheaded masked guy appears from behind a tree, flicking his nunchucks around like a toy. “You messed with our kill again … tsk. I guess you’ll never learn.”
“Then we’ll have to teach her.” A low, smoky voice from atop the hill makes me spin on my heels. My heart beats in my throat when Kai runs his fingers through his dark hair and puts on his mask again. “The hard way.”
A devilish smile meets mine, my whole body zinging at the thought of another chase.
But instead of the predator, I now become the prey.
Willingly.
“If I catch your ribbon, your body will be mine.”
Kai lifts his fingers, sporting a rope in his other hand. And I’m already excited at the thought of them tying me to a tree and having their way with me.
But first …
“Three.”
One finger goes down.
“Two.”
I brace myself against the soil.
“One.”
His voice sets me free.
“Run.”
