and deter them from being interested in me. It sounded like something Ryder would do, since he tended to mark ownership on the things he wanted. It’s what I was to him, just a pretty thing to own. Adrian sensing the brand confirmed it, and made me want to spit nails at Ryder.
    “ I didn’t let him do anything,” I replied crisply, knowing exactly who he was referring to.
    “ Do you have any idea of what that means, Syn?” He countered, ignoring me.
    “ I don’t care, and as soon as I finish Transition I won't be seeing him again!”
    He shook his head as his eyes flashed from turquoise to red. “Good fucking luck with that. You can't just undo a brand like that. He owns you right now, and it’s dangerous to play games with Ryder.”
    “ What does that mean?” I asked, unsure I had heard him right.
    “ He’s fucking marked you, Syn, and it wasn’t just because he wanted to be able to find you. That mark means no other fucking Fae can touch you. No one can, but Ryder. He made you his own little fuck toy by placing that on you.”
    “ That's bullshit, Adrian. I'm not anyone's toy.”
    He laughed , the sound was chilling, and so unlike him.  His eyes turned turquoise again, but his posture was stiff. “You better get going. Your owner just walked in with his crew.”
    I turned , looking through the crowded club. Everyone was watching us. “I need to go,” I whispered, pushing away from him.
    “ Syn, listen to me carefully. After Transition is done, or hell, even before it is, choose me. I promise to keep you safe. You know I’d walk through hell for you, girl.”
    “ Adrian,” I warned as I was surrounded by Ryder and his men.
    “ She chooses you, and she won't live through Transition, and neither would you, boy.” Ryder growled in warning.
    “ Is it true? Is this thing you put on me more than just some fucking property tag?” He narrowed his eyes and said nothing. “You fucker! You tramp stamped my ass!”
    “ It isn't on your ass, Syn,” Ryder growled as he pulled me against himself, even as I fought to stand my ground.
    “ Get away from me. I've lost everything! Everything, Ryder. I'm barely fucking standing on my feet and you just keep taking from me. I signed the fucking contract. You have me through Transition! Why the fuck would you mark me as your whore?” I was losing it.
    He crushed me closer to his body and snarled in my ear. “If you ever call yourself a whore again I will put you over my fucking knee and spank your tight, fucking ass until you can't sit down again.”
    “ Let me go. Now!” He released me, and I felt it. My body sizzling with magic, as anger poured through me and lit up the brands on my skin. I'd thought that I would never see them again. I inhaled and exhaled, wild magic was coursing through me and I didn't have Adam with me this time to stop it. Shit! “I have to go,” I whispered, pushing away from him and through the club in a hurry to get to the cool night air, before I went nuclear.
    I could feel it building inside of me, pulsing through my veins. The crowd of people split, and moved out of the way, opening a path as I ran through the club, oblivious if anyone was trailing me—or stupid enough to. I didn't have anyone to help take the power, or neutralize it. I could feel it growing unstable, a wild tangible thing that wafted from me.
    I rushed out the doors as both huge boun cers parted to allow me outside. The cool air did nothing to quench the power raging inside of me. I felt my heart rate increasing and my throat closing. I was dying, being consumed with power overload, which was almost hysterical, since I didn't have any power ten minutes ago…and I'd wanted it. Ryder started toward me, and then pulled back in frustration, as if remembering something.
    “ Fuck, Z. Go get Adam, now !” Ryder growled.
    “ Let me through! Now,” Adrian shouted, trying to be heard over Ryder.
    “ Adam's um…Ryder—” Zahruk stopped as Ryder growled an inhuman
