“I have sedative options if you wish, Mr. Aster,” Doctor Jenkins offered dryly from where he followed behind us, clearly not impressed with my resistance.
My heart stuttered at the threat, and I stopped struggling. Being sedated would ruin any chance I had to find a way out of this.
“Wise choice,” Reed praised, sending me a vile wink over his shoulder from where he led the way. It made my skin crawl like millions of ants were marching along my arms and down my spine.
I ground my teeth, glaring straight past him. I wouldn’t give any of them the benefit of a reaction.
Think, Demi,I scolded internally.
Truthfully, Anton taking me out of that tiny little room was the best chance I had at escape since he’d captured me. Transitions often created points of weakness, right? If I wanted to save myself, this was it.
As if sensing my thoughts, Huck stepped to my free side and wrapped his hand around my other bicep like a manacle. Between the two Alphas, they effectively jailed me as we walked to an elevator and took it up several floors. The door opened with a ding and I was led into a dark parking garage.
So, they’d kept me in a basement level of some larger complex, then. Hidden away, underground.
No wonder my pack hasn’t found me.I tried to hold on to that small grain of hope, hoarding it like the precious treasure it was. It was possible they were still alive and just hadn’t located me yet.Please,pleaselet it be true.
My heart thundered as they led me toward a dark, unmarked van that looked sketchy as hell. I slowed, digging my heels in to stop the inevitable, but it was no use.
Anton released me like I was dirty and he couldn’t stand touching me for another second. Using the momentum, Huck used his grip on my other arm to spin me into his chest. My nose wrinkled automatically as his burnt chestnut and charred oak scent wrapped around me. I recoiled from his touch as he tucked a lock of my hair behind my ear, but I tried to suppress the shiver of disgust that rolled through me. If he noticed, it would only add kindling to his hate-fueled lust.
He always loved it when I fought back.
“You were fun while you lasted, little sparrow,” he purred, leaning down and slamming his mouth over mine. My lips ground into my teeth as I pressed them together to keep him out.
A sharp bite stung my bottom lip as he nipped—hard—breaking the skin and leaving me bleeding. He sucked at the wound, then pulled back with a satisfied growl. His hands fell away as he adjusted his growing erection.
This was my chance.Go! Run!
I shoved him away, and he chuckled sadistically. Turning on my heel, I didn’t waste a second. I took off, my feet slamming against the concrete as I pushed myself as fast as I could go.
Thudding footsteps echoed mine. My heart burst with panic and adrenaline, and I dug deep for any dregs of strength remaining, begging my body to move quicker. Reed’s ominous laugh sounded so close to my ear, my pulse stuttered in fear.
I felt his breath on my neck just before powerful arms wrapped around my waist and he caught me. I flailed as he lifted me off my feet, pressing me into the barrier of his chest.
“So predictable,” Reed purred, returning me to the others despite my protests.
With my arms pinned helplessly to my sides, I wrenched myself back and forth in his grip. Kicking and crying out, I did all I could to break free. To get away. To save myself.
“You know we like it when you struggle.” He licked a line up the side of my neck before burying his nose in my hair and inhaling deeply. “Fuck. Are you sure we have to do away with her? I always liked her scent.”
“We’ll find a better Omega,” Anton replied tersely.
A better Omega….It hit me then.Reallyhit me. They were getting rid of me.
With an exaggerated sigh, Reed set me down, spun me, and pinned me against the van. My hand shoved at his chest, attempting to keep some distance between us. All it did was make him crush me into the metal, his eyes flaring from my tiny, pained gasp.
His thumb pressed into the wound on my lip, smearing the blood around. Pressing his thumbnail into the cut, he made it worse, ripping it open even more. I winced, unable to suppress a whimper.
Reed’s half-hard dick was a fiery brand against my stomach, and I wanted to vomit. “I’ll miss the sweet sound of your cries, little mouse.”
“Such a shame. I thought you might be the one we kept, sparrow,” Huck commented, absently flipping a knife through his fingers as he watched Reed and me. “Luckily, we’ve got plenty of other little birds to choose from.”
My head swam as I realized this was them saying their goodbyes. I was both elated, yet terrified. It seemed like a blessing in disguise, but there was no way they were letting me walk out of here free and clear. Hence the freaky van.
“Please,” I begged, “just let me go.”
Anton tsked. “Oh, Demi. Such illusions. That’s never going to happen. You were expensive, and, as I said, I’m not keen on losing money on an investment.”
