“Run?” Jim said mockingly, slipping into his mind all too easily. “Nathan, why would you need to run from me? If you stay, if you follow me and do as you’re told, I’d never hurt you. Don’t you know that? Malak can’t have you because you’remine. In time I’ll be even stronger than him. I can give you everything, Nathan, and no one will ever be able to hurt us again. No one will ever be able to leave us. Don’t you want that? All you have to do is choose me, Nathan. Choose me and I promise…I won’t take Sasha by force.”


Nathan tried to pull Sasha behind him, to protect him somehow. “Jim…snap out of it. This isn’t you.”


“I’m your family, Nathan. I know you need Sasha. I know how you love him. I love him, too. But what happens next is up to you. Choose me. Just say it. Say you belong to me.”
