young
woman you’re sorry. She was just saving me from being hurt by your
father when you showed up.”
    “ He’s only my sire, Mom,
not my father.” Linyah took a step back when he took one toward
her. “I need to touch you.”
    She took another step back, then
another when he kept coming. Putting up her hands was a bad idea,
she knew, so she put them behind her. Before she could leave the
room and this man, he wrapped his fingers around her upper arm,
causing her pain. When she cried out, he didn’t let her go but
pulled her into his arms and held her. Linyah didn’t know what to
do then.
    “ Thomas?” He turned them
both to his mom. “Thomas, is she your mate? Is this your
mate?”
    No one said anything and she pulled
away from him to look into his eyes. She could see it there. He
thought her his mate. But before she could tell him that there was
no way in hell she was his, he lowered his head and brushed his
mouth over hers. Fuck, but that was wonderful. And nothing could
have prepared her for the sexual need he’d given her with just a
simple kiss.
    Linyah pulled her mouth from his and
he moved down her throat. She could see his desire, and his
erection was pressed hard into her folds. She had to get away. Now.
She had to get away now before he touched her again. Stepping back
again, he let her go and she willed herself home. She started to
throw things into another bag as she tried to think what to tell
her mom.
    “ I’m not going.” Linyah
knew that would never work. Her mom would want more than just a
simple statement, especially since she’d been going on and on about
visiting them. And if she told her that her male was at the Lanning
house, they’d be moving there as soon as it could be arranged.
Linyah needed that like she needed another hole in her body.
Grabbing up the bag she’d thrown together, she was out of the house
before anyone noticed her. Going to the mountains was her only safe
place. They couldn’t find her there, nor could she be reached.
Linyah was running away from home.

Chapter 3
     
    “ What do you mean you
can’t find her? She’s your sister, find her.” Nic wanted to point
out that she was also their daughter, but didn’t think that would
go over well just now. He had no idea what had happened at the
Lanning house today, but the Lannings wanted Linyah to come back
there too. “Well?”
    Nic looked at his sister and dad. Dad
wasn’t so much pissed as he was amused; it was written in every
part of his face. It was his sister that was pissed. And whenever
she looked at his dad, he tried his best to look upset as well. Nic
didn’t think he was fooling anyone. His mom walked into the room
just as Nic was going to explain again that he had no idea where
Linyah had gone.
    “ You should know that
sending him out to find her would be a fool’s errand. If she
doesn’t want us to find her, we never shall. We are leaving in the
morning and she’s nowhere to be found, and I think that it would be
foolish to go about this halfcocked. I want her here now as well,
but we have no knowledge as to what might have happened to her in
that household.”
    Nic looked at the room and wondered if
maybe she was there and hiding under the piles of clothing that
were everywhere. She might be in here and no one could see her. But
he looked at his mom again and knew that she’d looked. And
well.
    “ What happened today,
Nic?”
    “ I’m not sure. Phillip
said she was there for a while and that his dad had hurt his mom.
Linyah had stepped in, but that Thomas had come home and found
them. I don’t know what happened, other than there is some
confusion as to whether or not she’s his female.” His mom sat down
and his dad stood up. Kendra only sat there looking like the queen
she was, but Nic knew her best. She was upset. And he wasn’t really
sure why just yet.
    “ You mean that man who
hurt his wife is a male to my daughter?” Nic shook his head and
started to explain, but his dad was on
