Liam's P.O.V.
"You'll find out soon enough."
I barely had a moment to react before something unseen grabbed me and slammed me against the cold, hard wall. Pain exploded across my back like a thunderclap, rattling my bones. My vision blackened at the edges, stars bursting in my line of sight. The impact knocked the breath from my lungs, leaving me gasping.
I slid down, my hands weakly scraping against the smooth stone floor as I tried to get up. My arms trembled, but I forced myself to my feet, swallowing the bile that threatened to rise. My chest heaved with each breath.
"What is this place?" My voice came out hoarse, barely above a whisper.
The three women stood before me, their black veils concealing their faces, their eerie presence making the air feel heavier, suffocating.
"You have been given to us as a sacrifice," one of them said, her voice like silk wrapped around steel.
Sacrifice?
