RAY.

I finally found the courage to stand up to Leon," Ray began, tears streaming down his face. "I told him I was leaving, that I deserved better." I ended it with Leon," Ray said, tears streaming down his face.

"I couldn't take the abuse anymore." Brian expression softened.

"What happened?" Brian asked gently. Ray took a deep breath. "I told Leon I was leaving," Ray whispered. "He laughed, said I'd never find anyone better...but I stood my ground." Brian's expression darkened.

"What happened next?" Brian's voice vibrated with anger. Ray took a deep breath.

"Leon snapped," Ray whispered. "He shouted at me, told me I was worthless...and then everything went black." Brian growl rumbled. "He hit you," Brian snarled. "I'll kill him." Ray's face contorted in pain. "I woke up bound," Ray continued.

FLASHBACK.

"Gagged and helpless. Leon's eyes...they haunted me,He looked like a monster." I woke up face down on one of the centre table of your living room to see the once love of my life Leon

    Ray.Brian's expression darkened."What did you do?" Brian's voice vibrated with concern. Ray took a deep breath."I ran away," Ray whispered."I took my sister and we fled. We had to survive on our own." Brian's arms enveloped Ray. "You were so brave," Brain whispered. "How did you manage?" Ray's eyes welled up with tears. "I was stranded on the streets," Ray began, "with no food, no shelter...no hope." Brian's expression softened. "That's when Ricky found me," Ray continued. "He took me in, fed me, and gave me a place to stay." Brian's grip tightened. "I'm glad he was there for you," Brian whispered. "You deserve kindness and love." Ray's heart swelled. "Ricky taught me that not everyone is cruel," Ray admitted."He showed me compassion and empathy." I became my sister's caretaker." Brian's expression softened. "How old were you?" Brian asked gently. "Eighteen" Ray whispered. "I had to work multiple jobs to provide for us." Brian's arms enveloped Ray. "You were so brave baby,All the

    Ray.I remember that day like it was yesterday," Ray began, his voice trembling. "I was 18, and my parents were taking me to a family gathering. Tania was with her nanny at home because we were running late, and I was stressed about seeing my cousins." "As we drove, I started arguing with my dad about my curfew.I wanted to stay out later with friends, but he said no. I got angry and defiant, shouting at her. My mom tried to intervene, but I wouldn't listen." "In my frustration, I reached for the radio to turn it up, but my dad swatted my hand away. I reacted impulsively, lunging for the steering wheel. My dad lost control, and the car swerved.""The next thing I knew, we were crashing. I remember the sound of shattering glass, screeching tires, and my parents' screams. It's etched in my mind forever.""The car caught fire," Ray's voice cracked. "I remember the flames engulfing it, the smell of burning metal and...and my parents. I couldn't save them." Brian's arms tightened around Ra

    Ray.Was I still asleep in my old childhood room, dreaming all of this? The air shimmered in the early evening sun, music spilled from the open restaurants and bars, people chattered and laughed all around us. We walked slowly, our arms almost brushing but not quite, and whenever I looked at brian, I caught him gazing at me like I was a prize he’d won.Today had gone from the most miserable to the happiest day of my life. Brian walked me into his. are and we were on our way home. Home! Home! it felt weird,we got home while i then collapsed on the sofa. Brian brought me a tall glass of water.“Thanks.”“You look exhausted. Do you want to go to bed?” “No. It’s too early,and I need to tell you about my past if we are going to proceed with this relationship Brian.” He sat down next to me while I made myself comfortable on the sofa. Feeling Brian's gaze on me, I shifted, suddenly nervous again. He’d given me more than I dared to hope for. He’d basically told me he loved me—not in those exa

    Brian.Cold and parched, I nipped into the nearby fast-food outlet to drain my bladder and buy a can of soda. For an excruciating two minutes, I couldn’t see the door to Ricky's home. What if Ray sneaked out while I was in the bathroom? But where would he go? I settled back onto the pier, a mere ten feet from the door, and tried calling him again. Voice mail. Surely, Ray couldn’t stay locked in his house for eternity. Should I go bang on the door again? Would Ricky call the cops on me? I bet he was disappointed in me because he warned me not to hurt. I wasn’t giving up yet.I jumped up when the door creaked. Ray stepped out, wearing threadbare jeans and a simple gray T-shirt. His hair was tousled, and his eyes reddened. I wanted to throw myself at him, but at the last moment, I stopped.“Ray, I’m so sorry,” I began.“Hi.”The sadness and fear in his features made my chest ache. “JACK won’t bother you ever again. I took care of it.” He winced but quickly covered it, looking down at his

    RayI must have cried myself to sleep. When I woke up, my head was pounding, my stomach ached, and I was thirsty, with a scratchy throat. The entirety resembled an ugly hangover. After stumbling down the stairs, I found Ricky in the kitchen.“Here,” he said, thrusting a mug of tea into my hands. I took it gratefully. It was exactly the right temperature, smelling of honey, and I gulped down half of it gratefully.“Better?”“Yeah,” I rasped. My best friend sat in front of me. “So, what did he do?” he asked in a casual tone. Never having had a high opinion of alphas except Brian, Ricky obviously assumed Brian had hurt me. “Nothing.” “Ray, I’ve never seen you so miserable. You need to be honest with me.” I took a few deep breaths. I didn’t want to talk about it, but I would have to. “Brian didn’t do anything wrong. He was kind to me and took care of me like he always promised he would.” Ricky slammed the cup he was holding onto the counter and folded his arms across his chest. “Then why
