I was terrified of heights. At my engagement party, my fiancé, Lucas Grey, tricked me into getting on a car modified to be like a drop tower. His friends and his childhood friend, Chloe Lane, openly mocked me for being dramatic. My face went pale as I pleaded with Lucas to stop. But he laughed and said, "Young people need to fit in." The machine shot up to the top and then plummeted down. I wet my pants. They laughed even louder. Chloe said, "Let's go again." Lucas completely ignored my desperate pleas and hit the start button anyway. A third run followed, then a fourth. The drop tower malfunctioned completely, jerking wildly up and down. Sharp pain shot through my belly. Blood ran down my thighs. I was pregnant. Lucas freaked out. But Chloe clutched her head, crying out in pain. For the first time, Lucas shifted into a werewolf right in front of me. He scooped up Chloe and leapt off the drop tower, leaving me on the malfunctioning machine to die.
