“They’re going to allow you to use the bathroom so you can clean up. If you choose to allow the bond, they’ll untie you,” she said.
My heart raced. That was the best news I’d heard since arriving. Without the restraints, I had a chance at escape. I knew I had to be careful about how I approached this. Did I pretend to go along with it so I could be free? If I jumped too quickly, they’d know.
“And if I don’t?” I asked.
“Then he’ll complete the bond against your will. None of us want that,” she said.
“Why can’t they just break the bond and let me go?” I asked.
“Ace says it’s because Tyler can’t shift, but that’s not the truth.”
“What is the truth?” I pressed.
“Tyler is forcing himself not to shift,” she said. “A mother knows these things.”
“Why would he do that?” I asked.
“Because for him, the bond is already complete. For him, you are his true mate and he will stop at nothing to have you.”
I swallowed hard. That was not the answer I wanted. “I don’t have a choice?”
“I’m afraid not,” she said.
This was my chance. I knew I was only going to get one shot at getting out of here. “Okay. Let me get myself cleaned up so I can be ready.”
I could almost feel Viki’s relief. “I’ll let them know.”
I knew it wasn’t real. I knew I was planning to escape, but my emotions were a wreck. My mind raced with a million possibilities. What if I couldn’t get away? What if Tyler had his way with me? What if I started to desire him the way he wanted me? What if this was my life and I was stuck here forever?
I couldn’t let that happen. One step at a time. First, out of these ties, then find a way out of this house. If I could do that, I could flee to the forest and then I’d at least have a chance. It was all I could hope for.
