CHAPTER 286 Shrieking

  ~ JESSE ~

  I knew I'd reached my limit and that power was getting away from me. I knew he was right, that he was the only one who could help. But the thought of putting any part of myself under his control again made me sick.

  Yet, I had no choice.

  And at some point, I had no more energy.

  Cazz had curled himself around me, his chest to my back. His nose was in my hair, his words whispered in my ear. I fought a battle between my soul- that wanted nothing more than to be held and comforted by him- and my heart and mind, that shrieked alarm.

  But I knew if I didn't do something, this power was going to destroy everything. Once again, it wasn't fair. But what choice did I have?

  As I felt myself slipping, I lifted my chin and screamed at God, "This is on you!" He'd given me this purpose? Expected me to give myself up to this man who'd hurt me so desperately? Then He was carrying responsibility for what happened in the aftermath.
