*POTENTIAL TRIGGER* *Axel’s POV* “My apologies for the wait, Alpha Carter,” the man stated as he closed the door behind him before making his way back to the desk. I just nodded my response, unable to get a word out as I watched him casually unbutton his suit jacket before taking a seat. He looked up at me as he licked his lips nervously. “Mr. Lawrence would like to accommodate you with this little situation we discussed.” I almost sighed in relief when he suddenly cleared his throat as he tapped the contracts against the desk, straightening the papers some more. “So he’s offering you two options,” he informed me as he kept his eyes lowered towards the papers. “Which are?” I practically growled while wrapping my hands around the top of the armrest to hold myself back. I was good at self-control. I was trained for this. What the fūck was wrong with me? “Option one is that you take 720’s virginity here in one of our rooms,” he informed me, making me take a deep breath because

He was just so big… I shook my head before turning towards the gorgeous man as he leaned his head against the door, his hand frozen over the handle. A shiver ran down my spine

*POTENTIAL TRIGGER* *Melody’s POV* I had no clue where I would go as soon as I walked out of that room. But it wasn’t long before one of the many aggressive men that worked for my captors roughly grabbed my elbow and led me back to where they’d usually kept us. I was both anxious and relieved at the knowledge that I’d be taken back there. Vanessa would most likely be there. But so could the evil queen and her brother… A shiver ran down my spine at the thought just as we entered the secret passage we had walked through earlier. Between the memories of the man that marked me and the stress of going back, I was beginning to feel lightheaded. My legs shook uncontrollably with each step I took, the walls we passed by feeling like they were closing in on us. My pulse quickened, forcing me to take big, greedy gulps of air through my mouth. Oh goddess, I’m about to have a panic attack. “If you don’t move, I’ll let the men that lingered behind get a hold of you. And I promise, they won’t
