Chapter 39

• "Oh, my goodness!" Melina's legs buckle beneath her, but Thomas catches her before she hits the ground. I look up at Rafael, silently pleading with my eyes - just let me say hello to my sister, please - but he isn't even looking at me. Instead, he's staring at Thomas with a smirk that sends chills down my spine.
• "What the fuck, Rafael? Why does she have a collar around her neck and on her hands and legs?" Thomas's voice booms through the room, raw with anger.
• "Because she is my pet," Rafael replies simply, his fingers never stopping their slow caress through my hair.
