didn’t make it very far before the guy in the passenger seat leaned out the window and fired off two shots. The guy staggered and dropped to his knees. Another pop from the gun and he fell face-first onto the road. My heart raced and I knew I couldn’t hold back the puke any longer. I threw up all over Tony’s pants and shoes.

“Bitch!” He backhanded me, which only caused me to spew again. He got out of the car and removed his shoes, then his pants, tossing the garment down on the gravel shoulder and kicking them away. The man who’d shot the other one dragged the body off into the bushes, then got into the SUV on the driver side. Once Tony was back in the car, this time up front, the SUV was once again in motion.

The worst part was that I didn’t hear the bikes anymore. Had they gone the wrong way? If they didn’t find me, would I really end up being sold to someone? Turned into their whore? I scooted away from the man to my left and hugged the door. I didn’t care if I sat in my own puke or not. I didn’t want any of them touching me.

“How can you do this?” I asked to no one in particular. “Do none of you have a soul? What happened to you that it made you think something like this was okay?”

“If you don’t shut up, I’ll let Leo find a way to occupy your mouth,” Tony said.

The guy sitting next to me snickered, then blew me a kiss.

I’d joked more than once that my family must have me microchipped like a pet, but right now I really hoped that it was true. I didn’t have my phone or car with me. Was there another way they could trace me? I really, really hoped so. If not, then leaving the compound to meet Tony had been even dumber than I’d thought. What if I never saw my family again? What about Beast? Would he keep searching for me, or would he give up and move on?

I pressed a hand to my stomach, hoping there wasn’t a baby in there. It would only give them another way to control me, and I’d never want to raise a child in that environment. As much as I wanted a baby with Beast, I couldn’t handle the thought of any of these men, or ones like them, getting their hands on someone so innocent.

At some point, I fell asleep, my head resting against the window. The door opened and I nearly fell out, landing right in a man’s arms. His cologne teased my nose as he helped me stand. The fact he wore a suit didn’t exactly ease my nerves. I knew plenty of men who dressed nice but hid a black heart under their clothing. When I looked into his eyes, I knew he’d either never had a soul, or it had burned out long ago. There was nothing there except darkness and pain.

“Lyssa, meet your new owner. I’d advise you be nicer to him than you were to me,” Tony said, giving me a smirk before he walked off. I stared a moment, trying to process the fact he was wandering around without pants and didn’t seem the least bit concerned. Then again, maybe he hadn’t brought a change of clothes with him.

The man who’d bought me smoothed my hair from my face, then gripped my chin, turning my face one way, then the other. “Let’s get you upstairs and get a better look at you, pet.”

I closed my eyes and took a breath before he led me into the biggest house I’d ever seen. With every step I took, I prayed. Please find me. Someone save me, before it’s too late.

If ever there was a time for God to answer my prayers, this would be it. I only hoped he didn’t leave me here with these monsters. I’d rather die than be with anyone other than Beast. And with men like these, death was a real possibility.

“Explain to me again why I had to fall back?” I asked as I glared at Casper, Torch, and Venom.

The fuckers had shown up about the same time I’d been notified Lyssa was gone. They had yet to tell me why they were here. Honestly, I didn’t give a shit, as long as they helped me get my woman back. If I had to guess, I’d say
