“Moron, grab her fucking legs.” Really? That’s how she talks to the man who claimed her.
He scoops down to grab my legs, only for my knee to smack him in the eye. He yells and stumbles back, only making Blair scream at him again.
He wrestles against my legs receiving several blows to the groin and his face before he gets a complete hold on me, locking my legs in the crook of his armpit.
Carryinginside, they slamonto a wooden chair, quickly binding my hands behind my back and my feet to the front legs of the chair. Child’s play. I really expected more from Blair. Or maybe she had never held someone hostage before. Maybe she was a kill on sight person and if that was the case, what was she really planning? “I was wrong.” I mutter “Shut the fuck up!” She screeches at me.
“Neah doesn’t scream like a banshee.” I spit at her and a hand slices across my cool skin. If I could look into a mirror, I would probably see a perfect red hand print, seconds before it fades as I heal.
“I’m going to slice you open you little brat.” “No, you can’t do that!” Jenson plants himself between us. There is hope.
“Get out of the damn way, Jenson!” “If you kill her, you are going to bring them all to our door. As much as you are an expert killer. You cannot take on that many and live to tell the tale. You will never get what you want. We will never get what we want.” “They don’t care about her.” “But one does. The one who is mated to my sister which means she will say something to Dane and he will send the fucking pack!”
She growls and shoves him out the way anyway. The sharp edge of a knife slices across my other cheek. Warm beads of blood trickle from the cut and down towards my chin. She watches it heal before repeating the process. “You’re right.” She turns around to Jenson and presses her lips against his. “For once, you are right. I won’t kill her…. Yet.”
I laugh and she presses a stiletto against the chair between my thighs, pushing it back as though she m thought it would scare me. I had it been in a lot of situations far scarier than this crap. It seems to annoy her when I don’t react and she slams a knife into my thigh, pinning it to the chair underneath and laughing. Okay. That did hurt, but it’s nothing I couldn’t heal from.
I stare up into her shitty brown eyes. “Is that all you’ve got, Rogue?!” She glares atin the exact sway as when I called her a Rogue at Black Shadow. She hated it. It was a reminder of a past that she wanted to forget. A past that haunts her, just like the rest of us.
Spinning around, she grabs a longer knife off the nearby table. This tJenson grabs her, turning her away frommelmoments before it’s plunged into my other leg. “She won’t help us if you insist on fucking torturing her.”
As if I was going to help them. I had made a promise to my Alpha and that promise would be held until the day I die.
“Letspeak to her.” He mutters. “Take your wine, go and have a shower and she can listen tofucking you all night long.” He glares atas he says it.
Seriously? It had been so long since I have had sex and they were going to makelisten to their warped ways. Assholes! Blair struts away, grabbing a wine bottle from the shelf.
“She’s got issues.” I mutter under my breath.
“What do you expect when you are being an ass!” “You are not the one being held hostage.” He wraps his hand around the knife handle sticking out of my left leg and yanks it out, sending a spray of blood all overand him. The wound doesn’t take long to heal and he quickly repeats the processw with the one in my right leg. “That will upset her.” I mutter “Enough!” He growls at me.
“Why? Why her?” “Does it matter?” He shrugs his shoulders “I think I have a right to know if you are going to kill me.” He pulls a chair and sits directly in front ofand simply mutters, “No you don’t.” “What happened to you?” I keep my voice low. Blair was probably listening, and I would need to choose my words carefully. “Did you choose her because of Neah? I’m sorry that your life didn’t pan out the way you wanted. I’m sorry a Rogue killed your mate.” “You lot are the reason she was killed.” “And now you are fucking one of our kind. An ex Rogue to be exact. Yet that doesn’t bother you. A bit of a turn of events, don’t you think?” “Sometimes you can’t help who you fall for.” “Because she looks like Neah.” He could deny it all he wanted, I would never believe him. “She will drag you down, Jenson.” He rolls his dark eyes at me.
“Letguess.” I look him up and down. The smart haircut, the smart clothes. “She’s made you promises.” “I know what she wants.” “Do you Jenson? Because from what I see, she is playing a game. A gjust like all the other Rogues, only hers doesn’t end in a feast of flesh.” I had to make him see sense. “Or maybe it will.” “She won’t kill me. She loves me.” He called that love. She was a complete bitch to him. “Jenson, I’ve seen a Rogue kill their own pup. Do you think just because you claimed her, she won’t turn on you?” He smirks at me. “Why are you really here Mallory? To play a game. What was it you said? ‘Takes one to know one.” He stands up and moves to the window. Peeking around the curtain while looking up and down the street. “Is he coming?” “Scared?” I snort He storms towardsand his hand wraps around my throat. “Is he fucking coming?!” I shrug my shoulders and it only makes him squeeze harder. But I could see how much she had dragged him down. He was past the point of willing to help me.
“How would I know?!” I croak out and he sends my chair flying backwards. Someones developed a bit of a short temper.
I use the seconds on my back, where he can’t see my face, to link Neah. We had been working on it alb m morning after I fed her the information from last night’s visit.
The ability forto hold a link with her was weak and neither of us knew why. I had to try because right now, I could see that I was in over my head. ‘379 Oak street.’ It’s all I get out when my chair is ripped back up. I’m just hoping she heard it. His face inches from mine. “Why haven’t you shifted?” “I could ask you the sthing.” “I know you can,” he continues. “I’ve seen it with my own eyes.”
“Do I need to? Because from what I remember, you freaked the fuck out fuck out when you sawHave you seen Blair’s Lycan?” They had been together for ages, he had too. But he glances away.
“You haven’t?” I was confused. She wasn’t living like a Rogue anymore, I knew she would have trouble fighting the darkness like Damien and Neah but to not shift at all. Something was off. “Shut up!” He growls.
The make up, the perfect hair. Expensive clothes and shoes that would be ruined by shifting. She killed Salem with a gun and not her bare hands.
“She can’t, can she?”
Blair Turning the water of the shower off, I squeeze the excess water from my hair, grab the towel and wrap it around my aching frame. The brat was quick and slipped out of my tight grip multiple times before we pinned her down. The bitch was even more unpredictable than I first thought. She definitely had practise escaping whether as a Rogue or human, i didn’t care. She will die.
It had really pissedoff that Jenson had stoppedfrom killing her. But deep down, I knew he was right. I didn’t need Dane and his Wolves at my door. I just wanted Daddy’s favourite.
Pouring myself another glass of wine. I pull the door open ready with a new round of questions, only to be met with silence. A beautiful silence that brings a smile to my face.
It lasted for a few seconds before my feet quickened across the carpet. A tiny panic echoes in my heart that I had missed out on Jenson killing her.
There is no talking, no arguing. I smile, he had actually shut her up. Sometimes Jenson really understood what I needed, even though I was sad I had missed it.
It is only as I reach the door of the main room that my heart plummeted. Silence was great until there is no fucking sound at all.
