Straight To Fire

Chapter 22 - Straight Into Fire

AVA ~~

"Me?" I asked, pointing slowly to my chest, unsure if I had heard her right.

The head of slaves stared at me without blinking. "Who else had their head bowed if not you?"

My heart dropped. My body turned cold like someone poured ice water down my spine.

What in the moon goddess' name is she saying?

I looked at Felicia, hoping for an answer, for a miracle—anything—but her face held the same shock.

Not just one alpha…

All four of them?

Wasn't my life already bad enough?

I could feel my face heating up with full-blown frustration. Everyone in the room had turned to look at me. Their eyes followed my every breath. I kept my head down, but I could still hear it…

Murmurs. Whispers. Snickers.

"Why her?"

"She's new."

"She's not even fit to serve one alpha, talk less of four."

"Look at her body—she can't handle it."
