Kira

When Grey turned the key in the ignition and the car roared to life, my knees began to wobble uncontrollably in the back seat. My throat constricted, and I felt a strong urge to scream, but I suppressed it, unable to muster the courage to let out a sound.

They weren't physically harming me. I had willingly gotten into the car and surrendered to their control.

Goddess, help me.

Zina's eyes locked onto mine in the rearview mirror. She seemed eager and excited to lead me to the Alpha. I quickly turned my head to stare out the window at the passing scenery.

My heart raced furiously, and I felt its impact in my chest as we crossed the border, the milestone marking a point of no return. Worst-case scenarios began playing out in my head, each more horrible than the other.

What if the Alpha took an instant dislike to me and ordered me thrown out, or worse yet, broke the mating bond? What if his cruel beta laid eyes on me? I couldn't explain why I had agreed to follow these strangers.
