Nikki made it to the bus stop, but the bitter taste of fear tightened her throat. Bret had insisted on paying her a wage, so she figured she had enough money to take the train as far away as possible, and that was the plan.

She refused to put anyone else in danger. They didn't know what he was fully capable of, but she did. The pictures had been a clear threat—a threat she wasn't going to ignore.

The dark pressed in on her as she stood on the platform, a small bag at her feet. She hadn’t had much but a few clothes Sam had bought her.

She looked around, her eyes alert for any movement. The train wasn't due for another hour, and the station was deserted. She sat on the bench at the edge of the platform, tense, her body straight as a board, stiff. Heart pounding, she waited.

She felt the eyes, felt herself being watched, and her breathing stuttered, ragged, her chest moving fast.

Please hurry, she begged silently, just wanting to get as far away as possible.

She had left a note back at the apartment on the bed so Bret or the pack didn’t think she had been kidnapped, but it was the only way. They had already killed her brother. No one. She wasn’t letting anyone else die because of her.

Choking back a sob, tears burned her eyes just as a light rain fell.

Suddenly, she felt it.

Something dug in her back, and she squeaked just as a picture from a gloved hand came around her shoulder. The tears fell harder as she saw Travis’s family smiling in the courtyard, the baby in Vanessa’s arms. It had to be recent. They looked so happy...

“Come quietly, or they die,” the dark growl said in her ear.

Nodding, she stood up, her bag forgotten, and the gun pushed her forward off the platform and toward a black car parked at the curb a few feet away.

“You’ve caused the boss a lot of problems.”

Thrust into the back seat, she didn’t bother to answer as she caught herself from falling to the floorboard. Straightening and sitting up, the man got in the passenger seat, and dark eyes met hers in the mirror just as the doors locked.

Gulping, she closed her eyes. She was such a fool. Every decision she made only made everything worse.

She lost track of time, of where they were. But she knew where they were going, and once inside the mansion, she wouldn’t make it out alive. The two men were driving her to her death.

The dispassionate stares looking straight ahead weren’t going to help her. They worked for her husband and his sick, twisted agenda.

Her shoulders slumped as defeat overwhelmed her. Bret flashed across her mind, his smiling eyes and gentleness. His large frame was deceptive. He looked rough and mean, but he was actually a loving man, showing her in more ways than she could count that he was different, that he would never hurt her. She hadn’t admitted it to herself, but his distance over the past week had actually hurt her.
