Chapter Seven

Rafir had lost control. He’d been powerless to stop the transformation. His wolf had taken one whiff of Alex, and the need to establish claim on the young vampire had taken over. The anger and jealousy had held him, forcing him to act. He hadn’t felt so out of control since he was eighteen. It’s why he’d left home and joined the army in the first place. He’d brutalized Alex, and just because Alex was a vampire didn’t mean he couldn’t hurt him. And what about Julia? She’d been right to leave. Rafir couldn’t blame her for wanting to get as far away from him as possible. After all, he’d more than proved he was as terrible as any monster.

He hadn’t known Alex’s history. Hell, he hadn’t asked. To find out he’d been forcibly taken stabbed a pain deep in Rafir’s chest. He’d kill anyone who hurt Alex now.

Maybe you should kill yourself then, an inner voice mocked. While Alex lay in the next room, dead for the day, Rafir stared at the twinkling lights strewn across the living room window trying not to choke on the ugly misery crowding his thoughts.

He had to protect Julia and Alex, and the only way he knew how was to bargain with Bernard. If Julia left the city, it might at least solve one problem -- she’d be safe. A burst of panic and loss formed at the idea of Julia leaving for good. He’d never imagined life without her -- not ever.

Mid-afternoon and he still hadn’t heard from her. He’d continuously checked his cell phone just in case he’d accidentally turned off the ringer, or if reception was bad, but nothing. Surely Julia knew he would never hurt her -- never attack her. She would never push him the way Alex had…

God, he sounded like the abusers Julia had to deal with every day as a social worker. He couldn’t blame her for leaving, but he had to figure out a way to make it right.

Rafir left the apartment a little after one o’clock to track down Julia’s parents. She would be with them, and he had to try to win her back.

Julia woke up in a daze. Her head pounded, and her body ached. It took a moment for her thoughts to clear before reality set in. She’d been caged.

Again.

She pushed herself up off the cold cement floor and scrambled backward until her back pressed against the two-inch thick bars. “No, no, no,” she murmured. She’d been kidnapped and caged like an animal, and worse, a slave.

Julia looked around trying to find landmarks or anything that would help her figure out where her captors had taken her. The room was damp and dark with cement gray walls and no windows. A basement. She felt the fear rise in her gut like sudden madness. She gripped and yanked on the smooth bars before screaming her frustration. The darkness closed in. She felt disoriented. She had to pull it together. Think.
