“I’ll kill her and free you so we can be together.” She laughs. A musical sound. She does have a deceptively lovely voice. All part of her sick charm. “Did you hear what I’ve been doing?”

I go still. “What have you done?”

“I’ve been making sure everyone knows they can’t touch you.”

My insides turn to ice. “That was you with the thick shakes?”

“Yes. Well, me and a few friends. I heard the waitress gossiping about Bray's new squeeze being allergic to bananas. And that was very lucky that the beta of yours saved her before she went squish.” Delilah laughs.

I feel dizzy.

“Did you kill Jason?”

She stiffens. “He was going to let you go. Find a way to get you free. Even threatening to kill his precious sons didn’t work this time.”

“You’ve been here this whole time?” I murmur, almost in awe of her evil.

“Always, one step behind you. Watching over you, my love. I’ve seen how naughty you’ve been. How you think you can just start a new life? But that’s not your fate. You don’t belong to them, you belong to me. I’m just going to get rid of all these pesky distractions.”

Her voice goes cold and vicious.

“No!” I hiss. I’m suddenly furious. A world without Erin isn’t a world I want to live in. I stare at her, so close but so far. She’s so beautiful. My saviour.

“Yes. You belong to me, Razor.”

“My name isn’t Razor. I’m Locke Raines, and I’m not in the band. I’m not going to be there ever again, Delilah. And I’m not part of that damn pack.”

She growls. “You’ll get used to it. Like you did before. When you realise you can’t run. This time, I’m going to make sure Wiley bonds you properly. He’s going to be punished for not doing it right.”

“I’ll hate you,” I say in desperation.

“I don’t care if you hate me. You’ll still belong to me. You’ll perform for me. And you’ll fuck me. You won’t have a choice.”

I feel sick.

“I won’t do it.”

“Then I’ll kill your alpha.” She sounds like she could gleefully do it.

I inhale, and my whole body stills. She would kill Erin. I know she would. She killed Jason.

“Delilah, just let me go.”

“I can’t do that, Locke. I really, really can’t.”

I don’t dare close my eyes.

“I love her. More than I thought possible.”

“I feel sad for you,” she sounds like she feels anything but. “It’s not changing anything. You should never have touched them when you’re mine. She has to die. It’s just how it has to be.”

“How did you manage to do all this? How did you get control of the pack?”

“I have shit on Emma. If they want to keep Emma out of jail, then they go along with what I want. Wiley and Paige resisted at first, but when I spilled the secret, they were more than happy to help me keep you.”

“You’re insane.”

“Perhaps. But I’m part of the greatest rock band in the world. I’m living a life of luxury, fucking the hottest people on the planet. I’m still very mad you hid that you’re an omega. We’re going to have so much fun.”
