“Fuck you! You think that’s going to work on me?” Clodius’ laughter rang in the air.

Another crash hit against the car before the door by my feet was torn open.

“Ah, Kitty.” I saw the last person I expected, but I was really grateful.

“Soren,” I breathed out, wanting to cry.

“Come on, Beautiful.” He helped me up, giving me a hand to get out of the car.

“Fuck!” A roar sounded as the car took another hit.

Soren sat me down on the side, quickly moving to go help his brother or Ryder. They were never too far from each other. Those three reminded me a lot of Lucien, Aeon and Zev.

Clodius’ maniacal laughter made me uneasy. The ground was too cold, making me shiver violently. I needed to see whatwas going on. Getting up on shaky legs, Soren and Gray circled Clodius who had a bloody face.

“You think two vampires can take me down? Even vampires as old as you are no match for me,” Clodius growled, when Gray fell to his knees shouting in pain.

Soren snarled, running quickly, he was a blur before he punched Clodius. He grunted in pain, falling onto his knees, backing up before Clodius could land his punch. Soren ran back to Clodius, faking a punch before Gray came up behind him, hitting him in the ribs.

Clodius snarled in pain as Soren landed another punch on his other side. The sickening crunch of ribs breaking cut through the silence. A howl sounded when a big wolf appeared in the distance, my heart stuttered thinking it was one of my wolves. I fell to my knees the closer they came running, I realized it was all brown like Ryder.

The twins stood to the side as he walked up to a bleeding Clodius. Growling he leaned over to him, baring his teeth to him.

“You think some little wolf is going to scare me?” Clodius spit blood at Ryder. “You can’t stop me.”

Clodius reached for Ryder but he was too quick for him, moving aside and there stood my sister with fury on her face. She had an object in her hand, and slapped it onto a snarling Clodius, landing right on his chest, making him seize before he passed out.

Serena kicked him in the nuts, making me laugh. I guess that might be a Belladonna thing. She looked towards me, running as we locked eyes.

“Kat,” she whispered, on the verge of crying when she knelt in front of me.

“Serena,” I said, with a knot in my throat.

We launched ourselves at each other, pain ricocheted through my body, but I missed her so much I didn’t care. I squeezed her tight, easing a part of me that longed for her.

“I’m so glad you’re ok,” she said, holding on to me tighter. “I thought that you had died, or they were torturing you.”

“No, they wish they could torture me,” I said shivering.

“Here.” Soren offered me his sweater.

“Thanks, Soren.” I grabbed the sweater, blushing as I remembered having a crush on all three of them.

The twins looked like they were carved out of stone with their sharp jaws and cheekbones. Their piercing green eyes were vibrant, their lips were full, and I swear they could be models for Armani. They both had brown hair, Soren with his man bun and Gray with his short hair, cropped on the side and fairly short on top.

Now Ryder straight up looked like a mountain man. His full beard, with sometimes longer hair, and his honey-colored eyes stood out against his tanned skin and dark hair. Ryder was a massive man. I used to think he was the biggest man I had ever seen, but he was pretty close in size to my wolves. He completed his mountain man look by always wearing flannel with worn jeans.

“Here, take this.” Serena shoved something in my hand as I put the sweater on. It was a little big on me, but I felt so much better.

I drank whatever she gave me as she whispered something, to check my vitals.

“They gave you applecide?” she fumed.

“I’m going to castrate him, along with Caston when we get you out so his family knows what complete assholes they were.”

I chuckled loving her even more for defending me, yet again.

“They put it in my tea, that’s what Clodius said. I thought applecide was extremely hard to get. I thought White hadburned most of the orchards the queen had grown,” I said, feeling the effects of whatever she had given me. My limbs felt like they were my own again and my mind wasn’t cloudy anymore. My body still hurt from the constant shocking from Clodius.
