Page 92 of Snows Sinful Seven

“Okay.” I laugh. “Maybe not that many. But I’m glad we’re on the same page.”

“We want what you want, Snow. And if it’s something we don’t agree on, we talk it out and work through it,” Dallas declares. I roll over to look at him, and I’m about to respond when I see his face drop.

“What’s wrong?” I ask, sitting up in alarm.

He blinks a few times, eyes narrowing before looking at Gabe. “Something doesn’t feel right.”

“Yeah,” Gabe growls, getting to his feet. “I'm getting the same feeling.”

“What’s wrong?” I ask again, panic racing through me.

Dallas looks down at me. “Stay here with the guys. It could be nothing, but we’re going to check.”

“Okay,” I whisper. “Please be safe. And tell Regina to come back here, please.”

Dallas nods, bending over to kiss me quickly on the lips. “Love you, omega.”

“I love you too.”

As they leave, a deep, heavy feeling settles over me, and I don’t like it. Not one bit.

“It’s okay.” Brady sits up, rubbing his hands up and down my arms in comfort. “Everything is okay.”

But is it really?

With every passing second, that dreadful feeling hits me harder, like someone pushing down on my chest.

Deep, guttural roars sound through the house, making me scream in panic. “Oh my god.” I jump to my feet, and so do the guys.

Pure dread fills my veins as Sullivan and Sterling bolt out of the room. “Stay with her,” Henry demands to Brady before following them.

“Wait!” my voice cracks as I move to follow, but Brady pulls me into his arms.

“You have to stay here, Snow. It’s not safe.”

“But they could be hurt!” I scream. Regina bursts into the bedroom, eyes wild and frantic.

“What’s going on?” I ask her in a rush.

“It all happened so fast,” she says, grabbing handfuls of her hair as she starts to pace. “I was cleaning the dishes when a whole group of men broke into the house. I didn’t get a chance to react before Dallas and Gabe came running into the room. They started fighting, and the guys were handling it well but then more people came in. Dallas told me to run, and I did. And oh god. The blood, so much blood.”

“No,” I sob, hand flying to my mouth. “No, no, no.”

“It’s not their blood. I don’t think it is. The others came running in to help as I came back here.”

“They have this. You have no idea how powerful a lycan can be,” Brady reassures.

“But your parents, they were all killed!” I shout. “They’re going to kill them. I can’t let that happen.”

“It’s different. Our parents died because the humans were cowards and broke in at night, killing them in their sleep. And the ones who could fight back were overpowered after being taken by surprise. There’s five of them, baby, five. They’re going to be okay.”

“You don’t know that.” I’m full-on crying now, shaking.

“Here.” Regina pulls a dress over my head. “We need to get out of here, now.”

“The window,” Brady says. He rushes over and shoves it open, pushing the screen out. He climbs out first before holding his hand out for me. “Come on, Snow.”

“I’m scared,” I whimper. “I don’t want to leave them.”
