Sneak Peek:
CHAPTER
ONE
If I wasn’t
mistaken, he was also drugging my food. I believe it had been two days since my
capture. At least I hoped it had only been two days. Time gets away from you
when you’re trapped in a dark cell. The first time I woke up, Grayson was there
with water and aspirin. I took it which relieved my pounding headache for a few
hours anyways, enough so I could shift and force healing on my body. It took me
another day before I was well enough to change back into human form. The first
day he told me my family was dead or would be soon. The second day he showed me
a video of Storm, Rhyme, River, and Chloe alive as a way to motivate me to
change back into human form. It worked.
Then he informed
me if I didn’t marry him he’d kill them off, one by one, which meant he had
some kind of control over Lacy because she would’ve killed them already.
His plan was to
marry me and kill my brother, taking the Colorado alpha seat in the process.
The flaw in his thinking was that I’d roll over and let him destroy my family.
He was going to kill us all in the end, regardless of what he said. I wasn’t
stupid. The Manchester line would die by his and Lacy’s hands unless we did
something to stop it.
Step one was to
escape. Step two, kill Grayson. I should have done it on the boat when he
attacked my sister and brother, but they talked me out of it. They weren’t here
to appeal to my good sense now.
“Good morning,
sleepy head. I’m glad to see you’ve recovered.” Grayson’s voice cut into my
thoughts as viciously as a razor. His very presence made my skin crawl. He
slipped the food tray through the opening of the cage and sat down in front of
me. He planned to watch me eat which reinforced my belief that he was lacing
the food with something.
“I can’t believe
my father thought you’d be a good match for me.” I grumbled as I sat on the
bed, refusing to eat.
“Your father
expected you to pick me. He stacked the list for that very purpose. It was part
of our deal.”
“He wouldn’t make
a deal with the devil.” He wouldn’t
endanger his children’s lives, I told myself. It wasn’t a possibility.
Grayson laughed. “It
amazes me how well he had the wool pulled over your eyes. You all believe he
had the best intentions for you. He despised you all. Made you into these dolls
he could control. Hell, he’s still controlling you even from the grave.”
“You lie.” I spat.
“No. I’m sorry to
say, I’m not lying about this. I do lie, though, quite well. I convinced you I
was interested in you.”
“You sound proud
of yourself.” He made me sick. “But I think I’m the one that fooled you. After
all, you thought I liked you.”
He chuckled. “Right.
Anyway, it took a lot of skill to make you believe I wanted you.” He pointed to
my food. “Eat.”
I crossed my arms
over my chest and raised my chin defiantly. “And yet you want to marry me.”
“For the power. My
connection to the Manchester family will make my ascension go smoother. I’ll
keep you alive long enough to produce an heir and then put you out of your
misery.” He said simply.
“You’re
disgusting. If you think I’d ever let you get near me, you’re deluded too.”
“I’ll have you…
one way or another.” He left.
His threat sunk
into my skin, causing dread to wind up my spine and a shudder to run through
me. “I’d rather die.” I whispered.
