I opened the door, and before jumping out into the hallway, I listened for any noises that could indicate someone was in the hallway. Silence screamed at me, begging me to get out of the room as fast as I could. With a quick sigh of relief, I pulled the door open all the way. I stuck my head out and looked both ways. Again, nothing. Maybe they’d figured they’d give Kellan and me some time alone to do our business. I crept into the hall.

Did they really think that I’d give in to him so easily? Did most of the girls here give up and accept their fate? I couldn’t even fathom it.

A burst of light thrust out of the room I’d just left. I slammed my back against the wall and inched back toward the room. Whoever it was knew how to use magic and they were in my room. I could only hope it was someone looking for me. I wasn’t too cocky to admit I needed some help.

“Lianne!”

My heart leapt and I ran back to the room. I flung the door open. Bryden stood next to a glowing portal in the room.

“How did you get here? How did you know where I was?” I ran into his open arms. My lips landed on his, burning with desire. “They wanted me to make babies with him.” I motioned over Bryden’s shoulder. Instead of pointing at Kellan, my fingertip pointed at Chase walking through the portal. He snapped his fingers together, closing it.

Bryden looked at Chase and then back at me, his eyebrow cocked toward the ceiling.

“Not him.” I shook my head. “Him.” I pointed in the same direction, but this time both Chase and Bryden saw Kellan lying on the floor. He started to stir. I was glad he wasn’t dead, but I had hoped he’d be out longer than that.

Chase leaned over and grabbed Kellan by the collar. He jerked Kellan up to standing, then threw him against the wall. Chase’s grip didn’t relent. He pushed Kellan up the wall until Kellan’s feet dangled a couple inches above the floor.

Chase stuck his nose into Kellan’s face. “If you ever lay a hand on her again, I’ll kill you with my bare hands.”

Bryden’s arms tightened around me. I kissed him on the cheek. I couldn’t imagine how he was feeling. He had to watch Chase rough up the one guy who’d always stood between us. Bryden never had a chance to get his own hands on Kellan for the things he’d done and I knew he wanted nothing more than to hurt Kellan.

“Drop him, Chase,” Bryden said. “Looks like Lianne already took care of herself.”

Kellan looked from Bryden to Chase. “Is this your hired dog?” Kellan asked Bryden. “You’d need one. It must be hard to be a cripple. You’re probably not even able to fully please Lianne. If only she knew what it was like to be with a real man.”

Bryden’s arms dropped from my waist. He turned toward Kellan, clenching his fists.
