Page 227 of The Life of Anna-Tenth Anniversary Edition: Act 1

Devin lifted his chin and studied the Immortals. “That’s true.” He turned to the other Elders. “Is that acceptable?”

They nodded. Brandon and Javier were still dazed and nodded along with the others.

“We agree,” Devin said.

“Good,” Kaveh said. “Then who is your Chairman?”

“We were just discussing that when you arrived,” Oscar said, leaning forward on the couch.

“Perhaps we can help.” Kaveh kneaded Anna’s breast as he spoke. “An Elder must show he is willing to do what must be done by receiving his piercings. A Chairman must go even further.” His gaze intensified. “How far are you willing to go to prove you will do what it takes?”

“As far as I must,” Oscar said, lifting his chin. Connor nodded in agreement.

Kaveh smiled. “Show us. Kill the Mistress.”

Anna gasped and stared at Devin, trembling. He offered no help or protection. She twisted, trying to break free from the Immortal’s grasp, but he was like a rock, unmoving and unrelenting.

Both Oscar’s and Connor’s eyes widened.

“K-kill her?” Conner stammered. “But she is the source of the Chairman’s power.”

“You must be willing to do whatever it takes,” Val said, raising his eyebrows. “Whatever it takes. A Chairman is not a mere Elder. He must go further. He must seize the power offered and be willing to sacrifice anything to hold on to it.”

Anna’s eyes widened as terror sent fire and ice coursing through her body.

Chapter 107

Devin watched Oscar and Connor wrestle with their consciences, their gazes jerking between the Immortals, Anna, and Devin. While they certainly had their ambitions, they lacked the ruthlessness Devin had cultivated his entire adult life. This wouldn’t be the first time he’d killed to achieve his goals.

Kaveh shoved Anna toward Conner, and she fell to her knees. She looked back at Devin with terror-filled eyes.

“Rape and kill the Mistress, Elder.” Kaveh said in a low voice. “Take possession of her. Make her bleed. Then you must kill her.”

Anna trembled and fought to stand, her dress tangling around her feet. Her frantic gaze darted around the room, searching for an escape, and Devin’s smile widened. It would be quite dramatic to see her try to run away. His cock twitched at the thought of chasing her down. He did enjoy a good hunt.

Connor stepped back, shaking his head, refusing to participate. Oscar, on the other hand, stepped forward and stared down hard at Anna, a determined expression on his face. She stared up at him with green eyes and whimpered. “No... please...”

Oscar grabbed her hair and yanked her to her feet. She cried out as he pushed her back onto the stone coffee table. Her head bounced off the hard surface, and confusion clouded her gaze. Oscar slapped her face and she jumped, her attention snapping back to him.

The Boston Elder shoved her dress off her shoulders and yanked on her nipples, making her cry out as he lifted her to almost sitting before letting go, her body slamming back down onto the table. She groaned and held her head, trying to curl into a ball, but he pushed open her legs, her dress shoved up around her waist and slapped her pussy hard. She jumped and cried out again. His eyes filled with rage and lust as he yanked at her pussy lips, pulling her body down to the edge of the table and spreading her legs even wider.

He pinched her clit hard and she groaned. Tears streamed down her cheeks as he pressed his face against her pussy. Devin frowned at his apparent appetite, but when she started screaming and pushing at his head, he smiled, having a suspicion of what the Elder was doing.

Anna kicked at Oscar, her screams increasing in pitch. A final squeal and Oscar pulled away from her bleeding pussy. Devin leaned forward and smiled. Maybe he was as ruthless as Devin. He’d chewed on her inner lips, making them bleed, and then had bitten her clit off.

Anna rolled to her side, but Oscar slapped her ass and shoved her legs apart again. Blood dripped onto the floor as he unfastened his pants and his cock sprang free. Then he rammed it into her abused pussy with one hard thrust. She screamed again, her back arching off the table, but he slammed his fist onto her chest. She coughed and covered her face, sobbing as he rammed his cock into her over and over again, fervor lighting his eyes as he watched her face screwed up in pain. Finally, he grunted and slowed his thrusts, panting hard.

Oscar slapped her hands away from her face, revealing it to be red and wet with tears. He leaned forward and put his hands around her throat. She stilled and gazed up at him, her wet eyes pleading for mercy, and Oscar hesitated. Her self-preservation mode had kicked in and she was using all of her powers to stop his hand.

They stared at each other for a long minute. Oscar’s hands trembled, then he slumped back onto his heels. He bowed his head. “I can’t. I can’t kill her.” He rose back onto his knees and stroked her cheek. “I’m sorry,” he whispered, then stood and looked at the Immortals and shook his head. “I can’t do it.” He went back to the couch and slumped down, covering his face with the crook of his arm.

Devin looked around. The five remaining Elders stared at Anna’s sobbing form on the coffee table in front of them. She had curled into a ball and was hugging her knees to her chest. No one moved. He glanced at the Immortals standing stony-faced a few feet away. Kaveh raised his brow slightly, then nodded to the sobbing form.

Devin stood. “Who do you belong to, Anna?”

She looked up. “Y-you, Master,” she whispered.

Devin yanked her down to the edge of the table and pulled her legs apart. She whimpered as he undid his pants, but didn’t move or fight him. Damn. He wanted a fight. He pushed her legs up to her chest and positioned his cock at her ass. One strong thrust was all it took to ram himself through the tight ring and deep into her ass.
