GRAYSON
The plan is to get out of here as soon as possible.
Watching her tied down, still groaning through gritted teeth, slick with sweat and blood and breathless agony–made Pierce almost fucking kill me.
I looked at Jessica.
She was writhing, arms stretched above her head where I’d tied her–God, her eyes. The black was leaking back in again. Her throat arched as she whispered things that weren’t hers. Riot’s words, curling like smoke from her lips.
“Untie her,” Theo said. “We need to move.”
“She’ll break someone’s spine,” I snapped. “You didn’t see what she did before.”
“Then sedate her.”
“She begged me not to. She said-”
I stopped. I couldn’t repeat it. The way she whispered “kill me” like it was a favor. The way she told me to claim her or let her go to Riot. The way her wrists bled just to get to me.
I moved to her. Knees in the dirt. Pressed a hand to her face. She flinched like I burned her. Her eyes rolled back.
“Jess,” I said softly. “I’m here. We’re getting out. Just hold on.”
“Don’t want to,” she slurred. “Just want you inside me… please… please…”
Pierce turned away. Theo cursed.
“Sedate her,” Theo said, quieter now. “You said it yourself. You can’t claim her. You can’t fix it. She’s too far gone-”
“I fucking said no.”
Pierce moved again and I nearly tore his throat out.
“She’s my sister,” he snapped.
“She’s mine,” I growled. “You don’t fucking understand what that means.”
Her skin burned under my hands. Her pylse fluttered too fast to track. I pressed a hand to her face. She shuddered. Gasped.
“Don’t,” she whispered. “Don’t let them knock me out. Please. Please don’t take me away from you.”
I swallowed.
Pierce threw the sedative at me. “Do it, or I will.”
