The crack of bone against concrete echoed through the abandoned warehouse, followed by my scream.I tried to crawl away, but rough hands grabbed my ankle and dragged me back across the floor. Blood from my split lip dripped onto the grimy cement as I twisted, trying to break free."Please," I gasped, my voice raw. "I don't know anything about my father's debts."The man holding me laughed, a cruel sound that made my skin crawl. "Your daddy owes the Abbot Pack three million dollars, little girl. And since he's nowhere to be found, you're going to pay it back."My wolf, Luna, snarled inside my head, but we were both too weak to shift. They'd injected me with wolfsbane when they'd grabbed me outside my apartment building three hours ago. Three hours of questions I couldn't answer and beatings that left me barely conscious."Kill me then," I spat blood onto his shoes. "I work at a bookstore. I make twelve dollars an hour.

Someone who knows why he really ran." He pulled out a tablet, showing me a photo that made my blood freeze.It was my mother. But that was impossible—she'd died wh

The dress appeared on the bed while I was showering—black silk this time, with a note: "Dinner. 8 PM. Main dining room. Don't be late. - B"It had been two days since his ultimatum. Two days of sharing his room, of waking up to find him watching me sleep, of pretending I wasn't affected by his constant presence.Two days of lying through my teeth while secretly meeting with my parents' contact.The contact turned out to be a server named Elena, barely seventeen and human. She'd been slipping me information during meals, tiny folded papers hidden under plates. My parents were closer than Brian thought. They had inside help. And they were coming tomorrow night, not next week.I had less than twenty-four hours to decide everyone's fate.The dress fit perfectly, of course. Everything Brian gave me did. As I smoothed it down, Luna stirred restlessly."This is wrong," she insisted. "We should tell him about the attack.""And condemn our parents to death?""They abandoned us!""They're still
