Chapter 16

Liam took a step back and looked at Hunter. He barely recognized him. His cheeks had sunken in, making his brown eyes look bigger and his cheekbones stick out. Despite how thin he was, Liam worried he would find a way to break the ropes as he pulled on them.

Without looking away from his brother, Dominic shook his head. "I don't think we’re going to get him to eat."

Liam took a deep breath and then let it out slowly as he rubbed the back of his neck. "I don't think he can afford not to eat. Let's go ahead and eat our food, then we can try again. Maybe the smell will make him more agreeable."

Talon snorted as he took a seat on the edge of the trailer, his feet hanging over the side. Liam joined him, leaning against the wall, and Dominic sat across from him, crossing his legs at the ankles as he stretched out. "How do you think Emily explained this to the girl?"

Liam shook his head. "I have no idea, to be honest."

Everyone got lost in their own thoughts as they finished their food. A soft shuffling of feet on the concrete made Liam’s ears twitch before a soft breeze brought in Emily's scent, calming his bear.

"Were you able to get him to eat?" Emily asked as she and Madison came to stand in front of them.

"Not one bite." Liam stood and offered her his hand, helping her up when she approached the trailer.

Madison stepped forward, and Talon offered her his hand. With extreme care, he helped her into the trailer. Madison winced before she pulled back so she could wrap her arms around her ribs. Her eyes averted, she moved away from Talon and whispered, "Thank you."

Liam’s jaw hardened, and a glance at his sons showed them both barely holding back anger, too. The only thing keeping them from turning around and beating the shit out of everyone who lived at the house Madison had come from was the limited time they had to save Hunter.

Madison avoided looking at any of them directly until her eyes landed on Hunter. A look of sympathy crossed her face, and she took a step forward. Before any of the men could react, Emily stopped her by putting a hand on her arm. "Don't get too close. He’s still very unpredictable."

"He's in pain," she whispered, edging closer to him. Liam shifted, tense, ready to get her out of the way as he kept a wary eye on his son. The closer Madison got, the more Hunter stopped fighting against his binds. He was breathing heavily as his dark eyes watched the girl.

Madison tentatively got closer to Hunter, and he growled low in the back of his throat and pulled against his restraints. The sound was more animal than human. Madison jumped. Liam thought she would flee, but she hardened her jaw and stood a little straightener as she reached out and touched his hair.

All three of them moved forward, afraid Hunter might react and hurt her.
