Sawyer:
Waking up again after my last session left me numb to a lot of emotions.
I had this feeling in the back of my mind that I was supposed to remember something, someone, or perhaps a betrayal, but I couldn't.
With my lycan sinking into a deep sleep forever, I lost all those memories along with the feelings attached to them.
All I remembered was everything that had happened before my session started.
My parents came to pick me up, both dressed in suits as if they were on a mission to change the world.
For the next few years, I endured the same torture I'd faced before my sessions.
My parents would wake me at the crack of dawn and send me out for a two-hour jog, whether I wanted to go or not.
I had to force myself through it, or my father's belt would "bless the soles of my feet," as he liked to put it.
And then there was my mother.
She had started multiple businesses, so every day, I watched her get ready and head out with her friends.
Before long, I learned the truth about my parents' relationship.
They were in an open marriage, and sadly, my mother always seemed to go after men who somehow ended up being people I had to face every day.
My school principal. My teachers.
The other students would laugh at me and say I only got good grades because my mother was sleeping with them.
One time, I got so frustrated that I snapped at the students in front of my teacher.
He grabbed me and marched me straight to the principal's office to complain, only for us to find my mother completely naked with the principal.
The teacher immediately pushed me back outside when my mother gestured for him to join her.
The door locked behind him, and I knew both my teacher and my principal were in there with her.
Once, I tried confronting my mother about it, but the handprint she left across my face lingered for a long time afterward.
My parents were taking out their anger at the Moon Goddess for creating them differently.
And then something happened that I could never forget.
One night, my mother sat me down and told me not to be upset because this was simply what happened after undergoing sessions that forced your lycan to sleep.
Both of their lycans had gone through the same thing, and after they died, my parents became these cheating-ass people who couldn't stay with one person.
Their bodies would practically go crazy without someone else.
That night, I realized the same thing would eventually happen to me.
I would stop visiting my parents altogether. I'd cut ties with them for good.
All these thoughts were racing through my mind when my mother began explaining what the business actually involved.
It wasn't anything decent.
Basically, they didn't care about anyone's feelings.
It was a business built around providing pleasure to wealthy men, or even wealthy women.
"This is ridiculous. I'm not going to be part of something so shameless," I snapped, slamming my hand on the table before shoving the cake away.
I was not going to let them use me to lure women into the mansion so that they can trafficked them.
They both fell silent.
Then my mother grabbed the cake and hurled it straight into my face.
Before I could react, something hard tightened around my neck.
My father's belt.
"Teach him a lesson. He seems to think he's some kind of goody-two-shoes. He'll ruin us like this!" my mother screamed as my father tried to drag me out of the chair.
The struggle knocked the air from my lungs, and my throat began to close.
