Chapter 24

• Alyssa
• I'm completely naked. Naked and kneeling on the floor in front of a psychopath. I would say I'm what people call 'scaroused' right now. Although my body is trembling with trepidation, I want to see what King is going to do next, how he's going to punish me.
• As King calls—no, summons Niko, his calm voice resonates behind me. "What's up?" he asks casually, like he can't see that I'm naked right in front of him. I try to turn to look at him, to warn him, but King's grip tightens on my jaw.
