Helanie:
I was shaking, my body overwhelmed with so many thoughts racing through my mind. Every time I told myself I wouldn't react like a scared kitten when seeing one of my rapists, I ended up reacting the exact same way. He was so tall and I recalled how I had thought he would crush Altan if he wanted. Never thought I would see him around my mates. But they were still taller than him.
Soon, I knew I'd have to face him, and the brothers would try to introduce me to him. I couldn't let that happen. I had to leave before it got to that point. I began taking slow, steady steps away from the crowd, carefully slipping out of sight and hiding behind a wall. As the crowd moved and the brothers started looking around, I was sure the search in their eyes was for me.
