CHAPTER TEN

RYKER

The drive back to the stables seems to take longer than it did before. The road stretches before me as a lonely line of black and my thoughts are just as dark.

Senior was warning me, that much is clear. Maybe he didn’t fall for my lies, maybe he knew the torment inside me over ensuring Mia’s captivity. I’ve been stupid to put Everly at risk, but I simply can’t resist Mia. I know I can’t have her, but it doesn’t stop me from wanting her.

She’s still sitting under the window, illuminated only by the light of the moon as I stride past the monitors. She doesn’t look at me when I walk in. Already, that look of hope, of happiness at my appearance has been tainted. I don’t know what else I expected.

I slink down the wall beside her, wanting—no, needing her to look at me.

“Are you okay?”

It’s a stupid question, I know. We were lost in our own world, a fantasy world in which we had some sort of choice about our situation. Now reality has come crashing back down, cementing the walls of our world back in place. Senior ensured it.

“I didn’t know they were coming.” It’s a pathetic excuse, but it’s the only one I can offer.

She turns to look at me then, those dark eyes searing into my soul. She’s so young. So innocent.

“Who is he?”

Closing my eyes, I think of my sister, carefree, full of life and unaware of the monsters around her. Is what I’m doing to protect her worth hurting the only woman I’ve ever cared about? It’s an impossible situation but I know there’s no way I could put Everly at risk. Whether she knows it or not, I’m the only person she’s got.

It’s times like these that I wonder about my parents. Are they still out there? Is my mother mourning the loss of her children, or did she never want us in the first place? But thoughts like those only lead to dark places, and it’s dark enough already. I’ve always been good at blocking them off, but lately it’s becoming more and more difficult.

“You’re freezing.” I grab the blanket off the bed and wrap it over her shoulders. “You’ll get sick.”

The blanket falls to the ground and her eyes move back to the moon.

“Look at me.” I meant it as a question, but it comes out as a command. As if controlled by some other power, she turns to gaze at me and the pain in her eyes causes my heart to constrict.

I should walk out the door and leave her alone.

I should get into the car, grab my sister and leave forever.

I should open the door and let her go free.

But instead, I kiss her, desperate for a reaction, desperate for her to respond in some other way than this coldness.

“Mia, please,” I beg, though I don’t know what it is I’m begging for.

All I know is this feeling inside me, the one that has ripped open my chest and exposed my heart, beating and pulsing in some empty cavity.
