She shifted to the side and revealed his exposed dick.

He tried to rape her.

My mind blanked, and I saw red.

A few days ago, we’d visited Hunter and beaten him until he was mangled and begging on the ground. I’d promised him death if he ever hurt her again.

He hadn’t listened.

He tried to rape her repeated in my mind.

There were red marks on Sadie’s knees from where he’d made her kneel.

The void swallowed me whole.

He would die.

Ascher grabbed our snarling Sadie and pulled her away from Hunter. He whispered softly to her, tattooed body shaking as he held her.

The bond among us screamed with rage and fear.

We picked off where kitten had left off.

Jax held the fucker’s arms behind his back and ordered him not to shift, which made him stop convulsing.

The fucker said things, and I snarled back, but I wasn’t aware of anything other than the bloodlust blinding me.

Xerxes didn’t hesitate, his rage tantamount to mine.

He sliced the sex knife into the alpha from neck to navel.

The void welcomed me as I dug my hand into the fucker’s abdomen and unraveled his organs.

He screamed, but it wasn’t enough.

For what he’d done to Sadie, it would never be enough.

Everything was dark as I focused on hurting him. Breaking him. Pulling him apart at the seams till he understood what it truly meant to try to hurt what was mine. To fuck with one of my own.

He’d never make the mistake again.

Xerxes put a bullet through his head, but I couldn’t stop pulling. Couldn’t stop trying to hurt him.

He’d died too quickly.

It wasn’t enough.

But I’d threatened him, and he’d hurt her.

I dropped the organs and turned to where Ascher was comforting our kitten.

I reached for her but stopped when I realized I’d mark her with the horrors of what I’d just done.

FUCK! I screamed into my head.

She’d just seen me unravel; seen the violence I’d tried desperately to keep from her.

But Sadie didn’t look at me with horror. Instead, she gave me a small smile as she shook off the blood that was dripping down her knuckles.
