PROLOGUE
Three headstrong,vicious men stand before me, their obedient eyes locked onto mine. I broke them and reshaped them according to my needs, and they gleefully obliged to my every dark whim. These boys would kill for me if I asked them to.
“Kneel for me,” I growl.
With a single index finger, I manage to bring all three devilish boys to my heel.
It’s such a high to watch such reluctant boys bend to my will after I’ve killed off their resistance. My murder sprees are what brought us together, and their devotion to me keeps them tethered to this earth.
But God … our collective vengeance was delicious.
Xavier, the neediest of them all, slips off my boot and kisses my leg, while Orion begs for my attention at my side.
Atreus, the greediest of the three, grabs my face and says, “We’re yours.”
I never could’ve imagined in my wildest dreams I’d have not one, but three of these wicked men at my beck and call, ready to serve.
A devilish smirk spreads across my lips. “How badly do you crave me?”
“More than anything,” Xavier says, kissing my thigh.
“I would die for your attention,” Orion says, kissing the top of my hand.
“I rearranged my soul to come close to yours,” Atreus says, bringing his lips closer to mine.
“Good boys deserve to be chained forever,” I say.
I snap my fingers and wait for Orion to bring the bag with the new toys I bought. I pull out the three spiked collars and watch their eyes glow with both excitement and fear. “Now, who’s ready to be mine?”
CHAPTER 1
Sunny
I crawl across the ground,nails digging into the mud, as I leave a trail of blood in my wake.
I can’t die here.
Not now.
Not yet.
Not like this.
Despite the crippling pain, I keep putting one hand in front of the other in a desperate attempt to get to safety. I don’t know where or how, but I will make it. I’ve gotten so far already, and even though I can’t fucking walk on my own two feet anymore, I will not quit.
My teeth grind together as I shove my knees forward, groaning from the agony, but I refuse to give up.
I’m a motherfucking Reed, and Reeds never fucking give up.
I will not quit on myself, even if the world has decided I should.
Another drag across the mud, and my legs slide sideways, while blistering pain shoots up my thighs and belly, and I screech.
“Fuck!”
BANG!
The sudden gunshot makes me stop.
