Chapter 13

“I didn’t even know Tilly was missing until I received a message at my hotel room in Paris,” Rory said softly, leaning against the doorjamb of his sister’s room, watching grimly as one of the medical support team members carefully tucked a blanket around the girl. “They sent me photos of Tilly in their captivity.” He swallowed hard, clearly reliving the memory. “I was just leaving the room to tell you about it when Yegor called my cell saying he had Tilly and that if I ever wanted to see her again, I had to do exactly as he instructed.” Rory gave Sawyer an apologetic look. “I didn’t want to betray you, but Yegor told me he’d kill Tilly if I didn’t. I couldn’t take the chance he was bluffing. Not when it came to my baby sister. I’d do anything in the world to keep her safe, no matter what. I hope you can understand that.”

Sawyer glanced at the bed. Rory’s sister was eighteen, but she was so damn pale and looked so fragile lying there sleeping that she seemed much younger. The STAT support team doctor assured them the girl would be okay physically, but Sawyer wasn’t so sure of her mental and emotional health after this.

Looking at the frail girl on the bed and seeing Rory torturing himself for what happened to her, any residual anger and resentment Sawyer might still have felt disappeared in that moment.

“I can,” Sawyer told him. “I don’t want to imagine ever being put in your position, but if I were, I probably would have done the same thing.”

Rory gave him a grateful nod.

“What kind of supernatural is your sister?” Harley asked from beside Sawyer, gazing sadly at the girl in the bed.

“She can start fires with her mind. All she has to do is think about doing it and poof…flames.” Rory’s mouth curved into a small smile. “It freaked the hell out of my parents, brothers, and me when she was little. But we’ve gotten so used to it, we don’t even think about it anymore. And Tilly is much better at controlling it now than she was when she was a kid.”

Harley looked at Rory in surprise. “Your parents and brothers are okay with her being different?”

“Yeah, of course,” he said, his smile broadening. “We’re family.”

Harley nodded, but Sawyer knew how much Rory’s answer hurt. Here was another family completely fine with one of its own being different when she’d been cast aside. Sawyer ached for her all over again and if they’d been alone right then, he would have taken her in his arms.

Even though he’d known it would be bad when his teammates finally learned his secret, he’d still been gutted when they’d walked out on him. He’d never be able to forget the way they’d looked at him. He didn’t want to try to equate his pain with Harley’s, but after what happened this morning with Erin and Elliott, he knew what she was feeling. He
