Chapter Nineteen

“We ride tonight,” Dan announces one evening at the dinner table. “Everyone eat well. We have a long journey.”

I don’t know what to make of that—what does he mean by a journey? Where are we going? —but the words do seem to have meaning to everyone else around the table. Caleb, in particular, reacts, gripping his fork so hard it bends a little in his hand. I take in the strength of that hand and remember how careful he always was with me. I’m so hungry for him I feel like I might die.

“Do you need to stay behind?” Dan asks Caleb.

“No,” Caleb says shortly.

Alex looks troubled. She leans in and whispers to him, but he shakes his head once and that appears to be the end of that.

The rest of the meal is eaten in silence. Everyone is eating well, of course—it was an order—but most people look as though they aren’t really enjoying their meal. Bill eats robotically, his attention on anything but his food. Mary works her way methodically around her plate as if her sole function is to clean it rather than to savor anything. Caleb shovels food into his mouth quickly and furiously.

What does everyone look so worried about, I wonder? The last time we rode together was wonderful. And I’m sure I won’t be permitted to ride with Caleb again—that would be too much to hope for—but maybe I’ll be put with Bill or Mary. That would be all right. A night out of this house, under the stars, sounds like exactly what the doctor ordered.

When the meal is finished, everyone puts their plates in the sink to be dealt with when we return, and we go out to the garage. There’s the row of gleaming motorcycles, waiting for us. Freedom, that’s what this represents. Finally, an escape from the gloom of the house where I’ve been trapped for so long.

“Jacie,” Dan says, and my head jerks up. “You ride with me.”

What? A small noise of protest escapes my throat, but I tamp it down quickly. I can’t argue with him. He’s the alpha. I can’t let him know that I have the power to argue.

Caleb, though, hasn’t been given a command yet. “Let me take her, Dan,” he says. “We rode together last time. She’s afraid of the bikes, but she’s comfortable with me.”

“Like I don’t know what’ll happen,” Dan sneers. “You get her on a bike and you two will ride away together.”

“All you have to do is order me not to do that,” Caleb says, his fists clenching and unclenching. “You know you have all the power here. I wouldn’t be able to go anywhere once you said the word. Besides, I’m not going to leave my sister behind with you.”

For a moment, I dare to hope Dan might give in—Caleb makes a lot of good points—but he just laughs. “Come on, Jacie,” he says. “Let me show you what real power between your legs feels like.”

I feel sick, but he’s beckoning me over now and I know I can’t resist without showing my cards.
