Chapter One
WILDER
I can’t believe it. I can’t believe how they’d take Maddy away. How they can rationalise this in a way that makes people believe them.
Can’t they see it? Can’t anyone see that they’re just out to hurt us? They don’t care about Maddy, they’ve never cared about her. How do I know? Because they never cared about Sarah. There is no reason for them to even be interested in a Beta child. None.
I hold Sterling tightly. I can’t let him go right now. I can’t do anything but hold him. His sobbing form fits against my body so that I can protect him any way that is needed. I don’t care anymore. I don’t care what people think when they see us.
They took Maddy. There is nothing worse that they can do now.
I hear another car come up the driveway and Sterling tenses in my arms.
