I could feel their hair on my face.

I wanted to move. I wanted to scream.

But I couldn’t.

I couldn’t do anything.

I could feel my heartbeat increasing and my palms started sweating. My breathing became fast and shallow.

Was it Victor? Why was he laying his head on me? What did he do to me now? Did he touch me? Oh, Goddess, please no. Please don’t let him touch me!

I needed to do something! I needed to scream! I needed to move!

I tried opening my eyes, and after a few unsuccessful attempts, I managed to do that.

I could see light, which meant that Victor was here with me.

Tears formed in my eyes.

Oh, Goddess, no.

I blinked and tried to look down on him.

But something was weird.

This wasn’t Victor’s hair. His hair was gray.

This man’s hair was dark blond, and he was a lot bigger than Victor.

Who the hell was he?!

I moved my gaze from him and looked around.

Wait…

I was not laying on a metal table!

I was in bed!

I was in a familiar room!

This was my room in Mike’s cabin!

My eyes widened, and I blinked a few times to clear the tears from my eyes so I could see better.

My gaze fell on another man. His head was on my thigh. He was holding my hand. I didn’t even notice that before.

Gabriel.

Oh, Gabriel. How much I missed him. A quiet sob escaped me. I tried moving my other arm so I could touch him, but it was trapped under the man lying on my shoulder.

I moved my gaze back to him.

This was Nick. It had to be Nick.

I buried my nose in his hair and took a deep breath. A scent I knew, and loved welcomed me.

My mate.
