Terry waited through the length of my indecision. When he motioned a second time for me to sit, this
time I joined him on the couch, sliding down onto the spot he indicated.
Tell me about the girl in the black dress,” I said.
“Uh, uh. Demanding is not very becoming, Piper. Here, have some champagne and calm down for a
moment.”
He passed me the second flute of champagne and I took sip. Then I drank a second sip for some liquid
courage.
He smiled. “Good. Now, tell me why you are looking for a girl in a black dress.”
“I followed her,” I said. “She came in here and then disappeared.”
Terry glanced around the room. “There’s no one in here now. You are free to check.”
I knew she wasn’t still here, because my wolf continued to move further and further away. If she was

I sipped at the champagne again, trying to get my thoughts together.
“Did you know that girl?” I asked him.
He tilted his head. His piercing gaze bore into me as he asked, “Did you?”
That… was a very odd question. “I don’t know.”
I rubbed at my forehead. I was having trouble now keeping my thoughts together. My body felt much
heavier than it had even a moment before.
“I don’t… feel so well…”
“Drink a little more,” Terry said. He lifted my glass for me and tipped some more champagne into my
mouth. “It will help you feel better.”
Wait. Was this champagne drugged? I tried to push the glass away from me but my strength was
entirely depleted. I couldn’t even spit it out, although some spilled and dribbled down my chin.
“There’s a good girl,” he said.
When the drink was empty, he returned it to the table. But then he brought his hand to my face and
stroked my cheek. It was a gross mockery of the soft way Nicholas had touched me only a few
moments
My stomach twisted but I didn’t even have the strength to throw up.
He pried his thumbs under the corner of my mask. “Why don’t we take this off of your beautiful face?”
I weakly lifted my hands, but he simply batted them away.
“None of that now. I want to see you.” With meticulous attention, he untied the ribbons holding the
mask.
in place and then pulled it down, away from my skin.
A few of the flowers from my hair fell down onto the soft and onto my dress. A red pedal landed on his
jacket. He plucked it off with an annoyed expression, and flicked it away to the floor.

“Don’t fight me now, dearest.” His hands came to my shoulders. “I’ve been looking forward to adding
you to my collection for quite some time. With you, I will have the full set.”
The full set? What did he mean by that? I didn’t want to be part of any collection!
“No.” I flopped my hands against his chest.
“You are a stubborn one, aren’t you? But go on.” His smile shifted into something sinister, something
dangerous. He wasn’t even really smiling at me anymore, more leering and showing his teeth.
He looked more like an animal than anyone else at the ball tonight. He was the only one I had felt
afraid of.
His hands inched down my front, slowly coming to rest just above the swells of my breasts. I sucked in
a sharp breath. I didn’t want him to touch me.
My limbs were so tired… useless. I wanted to scream, but nothing more than a low whimper escaped
me.
Without a wolf, I had already been weak, but drugged like I was, I was absolutely helpless.
Suddenly, the door burst open, and Nicholas was there.
He glared at his uncle, fire in his eyes.
“What the hell is going on here?”
