Her Resistance

[Elise’s POV]

I yank my wrist free of Jose’s grip and attempt to leave, but am stopped as Marty and Rosco block the doorway. Frowning, I slowly look from one man to the next while debating what the chances were of me actually escaping.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Rosco asks when I try to come up with a plan.

“Isn’t it obvious?” Marty chuckles. “She is trying to flee.”

With wide eyes, I look at Marty as betrayal shoots through me. What happened to us being birds of a feather and all that bullshit? This was exactly why I refused to trust anyone, even if I wasn’t being used right now in the way that Alexander used me, I was still being forced to do what others wanted of me.

“So this is how it is going to be.” I growl, letting my aura begin to trickle off of me. “Either I go along with what you want or you’ll force me? I should have known better than trusting that you would actually trust me.”
