“Kai stole her from her home and is forcing her to have his babies,” the blonde girl says from the other side of me, perched by the fireplace as she eats an apple.
I swallow thickly.
“Fucking really, Nila?” the guy holding me growls. “Why would you tell her that. Now she’s going to—”
The bun lady is already squealing. “Where’s that damn emergency phone?” she asks, pulling open drawers and shutting them.
I’m being really still and really quiet, praying for this nightmare to end abruptly.
“Ah ha! Found it! I laughed at that Liam kid when he dropped this off, but now I want to kiss him for it,” she goes on, then dials someone.
They don’t even have phones out here? If my tear ducts weren’t still frozen, I think I’d cry right now.
“Penny, guess who’s getting babies before you?” the woman says, and I pale.
“You’re not actually having his babies,” the girl beside me says, patting my shoulder as the guy continues to give me warmth and no babies.
Where the hell am I?
“Yeah, my Kai clubbed some girl over the head and brought her home,” the other woman, who I presume is their mother or their resident mental patient, says as she nods vehemently, not glancing at us.
“Doesn’t really matter how he got a girl. It just matters that he’s got one now, and I’m going to have babies before you. So ha!”
“Really not having babies,” the guy growls next to my ear as I start to squirm.
“Who are you?” I finally hiss.
“Kai Wilder,” he says as if that needs no further explanation.
“I’m Nila. His sister,” the girl with blonde hair tells me before pointing to the graying blonde on the phone. “That’s our mother. You’ve made her the happiest woman in the world.”
“For fuck’s sake, Nila, fix it,” Kai snaps at her.
“You’re the barbarian who is bringing home frozen corpses to reanimate. You fix it,” she deadpans.
“Oh, she’s adorable. I think. I can only see her forehead from here, so she could be unsightly, if I’m being honest. Hopefully she’s adorable. I want my babies to be prettier than your babies, if you ever get any, that is. Your Lilah is still on birth control,” the mother drones on, glancing in my direction.
“Are you on birth control?” Nila asks me seriously.
“Are you trying to fucking freak her out right now?” Kai growls. “Wait until my balls aren’t so close to her knees.”
I’m not sure if it’s the day from hell, the matter of me still being a bit hypothermic, or if it’s the fact I’ve possibly been abducted by crazed wilderness people for a breeding experiment, but I feel a little dizzy before it all fades to black.
Wilder will be coming in 2018. <3
