Morgan was shaking with fear, frozen like someone had hit a pause button on his body. He couldn’t move an inch. His face said it all–pure terror directed straight at Yunice.

She acted like the sweet, harmless type–but she was far from it.

By the time Wyatt came back into the room, Morgan had already fallen asleep.

Yunice pulled out the needles one by one, then said with a smirk, “Man, I wish I could sleep like that. Young people–knock out the second their head hits
