A/N: Whoo! Hope you enjoy the chapter! I'm sure this chapter will raise some questions, so leave them in a comment below if you have some :)

Also, for reasons that will become obvious in this chapter, I changed the Carter's power to being Aiden's now. 

P.S. - A special thanks to my new beta SynchroClaire for looking at this chapter and every chapter forward :) Check out her Academy stories if you haven't already!

--- Gabriel's Pov ---

"Stupid motherfucker is too pretty for his own good..." I grumbled to myself, feeling frustrated that I gave in so easily to the man.

'That stupid fucking fluffy brown hair of his...and his fucking bad boy looks...and his fucking eyes. Shit, those fucking eyes of his just pull you in until you forget your own name for a while, and it's scary how you don't even care, as long as he's pleased with you.'

'Why did I give in so easily?! Am I really at that low of a point that I just fucking stripped in front of a guy I don't even know? Really. I'm not that desperate for affection am I? That couldn't have been me in that moment, right? Yup. I really am that fucking idiotic.'

I heard a small groan next to me, signaling that Victor was starting to wake up.

'Fuck, how stupid am I for letting him get me in that kind of situation? Am I really going to do what he wants? Am I really going to tell Victor and the rest of my family that the family liaison and I are safe in this mad house? They'll never believe me and they'd never leave their teammates here... no matter how they feel about me. Especially Luke. Luke would never stop searching for me, no matter how hard it was to find me.'

'I miss Luke...'

"Gabriel, are you okay?" Victor asked groggily as he stared at me through the dimly-lit room.

'I have to do this to save Victor though, don't I? Maybe if I save Victor, Victor can come back with the team and save Mr. Blackbourne and me... Or just Mr. Blackbourne, as I'm not as important as he is to the team. But I need to try to make it out of here to see Luke again, at least.'

"Yeah, I think I'm fine," I said, smiling softly.

"What happened after the psycho knocked me out?"

"First of all, his name is Nikolai. Second of all, we just talked a little."

"Oh, so you're on a first name basis with the monster. Gabe, you can't be naïve enough to think you can trust these people, right?"

When I didn't respond, he let out a scoff-like noise that voiced just how ridiculous he thought I was.

"You can't be serious, Gabe! In case you have forgotten, these people kidnapped and stole Mr. Blackbourne in the night and made sure he couldn't be contacted. We're lucky we were in this town at just the right moment to see him in that café. Then, when we were invited to the beast's home, he showed us just how he treats his new 'friend' by making Mr. Blackbourne subservient to him. Do you think Mr. Blackbourne liked being treated like that? Then, when we finally saved Blackbourne, the beast's hunger just wasn't quenched, so he had to steal Blackbourne yet again, along with us. But you still think these people are trustworthy?"

Victor was livid by now, his eyes blazing with angry fire as he waved his hands around. "What about Luke? Don't you think he's worried out of his mind right now?"
