(this is the wonderfully awesome cover of Half Moon!)
“Yes, it is,” he yelled back.
Then I’m tackled.
And he’s tackled.
Nicole screamed… and then Dillon tackled her.
Michael, Lucas, Thomas, Matt, and Trevor all surrounded us. Emile and Ava, were on top of me. This was ludicrous.
“Get off me,” I yelled and pushed against the heavy weight pinning me to the hard ground; Emile and Ava didn’t seem to notice.
Michael soon realized there was no threat and started yelling at us. “What the hell do the two of you think you are doing? Why would you risk being out here by yourselves?”
“I just wanted to talk to her alone. We are never allowed to work things out, to talk about things.”
“If you had any bond at all, your touch would take her to Haventon so you could strengthen each other and talk. But since you’ve both failed to maintain any relationship since she’s been here, we have to look into other ways to get rid of the Mares. Obviously, she’s not willing to do what we need her to do. And you can’t force her. She’s not the one.”
“Yes she is…” Brandon lowered his voice, no louder than a snarl, and stepped forward, challenging Michael. Matt and Trevor stopped him.
“She prefers you as a dog. A companion animal. She never loved you,” Michael huffed and lifted Emile off of me. His words were cruel and hateful. Emile knew it and grasped his hand to stop him, but being the Alpha male, he continued, “You will leave with us in the morning and whatever happens to her…,” He looked at me and wrinkled his nose, “Well, if she dies, she dies.” Lucas helped Ava off of the ground and I finally sat up and considered running away from them.
