I chuckle darkly as I rise and stroll around my desk.Grabbing the papers, I thrust them toward him and sit on the edge.
“Now, why would I trust a corrupt council that collects on sex slaves?”
Samuel scoffs, glancing at the papers, then holds them up, shaking them in the air.I notice Kyrio moving closer behind him, as if ready for a fight should Samuel decide to try to do something stupid.
But Samuel stands his ground and glares at me defiantly, though his bravado is obviously forced, since he can feel the tension in the room as much as we can.
“These are for taxes, you have nothing!”he states, turning toward the door, but Kyrio steps in his path, causing Samuel to falter slightly before he regains his composure.
“Stand aside!”Samuel snarls, and Kyrio smirks, stepping aside to let him pass.Samuel stomps toward the door.
“You wait, Dion, the council is already making arrangements.They’ll come for you, shut down your pack, dismantle it!”he snaps.
He yanks the door open, nearly toppling backward a step, clearly expecting it to be heavier than it looked.I move swiftly, like a ghost, and I am behind him within seconds.
He growls loudly, not realizing the monster standing mere inches away is a bigger predator.“You think you can get away with this.The council’s hand has been forced, they’ll come for you and—” he turns and abruptly stops when he bangs right into me, finally noticing me standing directly behind him.
Kyrio looks bored and yawns, the goddess only knowshow long he had to deal with him while I dealt with Emery.“Let them come,” I whisper before plunging my hand into his stomach.My fingers wrap around his intestines, his white suit shirt turns red with his blood as he gasps and peers down.I pull them slowly while he stands in shock, blinking rapidly while his face pales.
“Don’t worry, Samuel, you’re not dead yet; humans can live several hours after disembowelment.Luckily for you, you’re not human, so you’ll last longer,” I tell him, dropping them on the ground.With a look of horror, he stares down at his intestines, before frantically and ridiculously trying to ravel them back up.He sways on his feet from the blood loss.Still, he isn’t quick enough at stuffing them back in as his wolf heals his wounds, healing around the grotesque display.
“That gives Kyrio plenty of time to play.I would love to stick around and help him, but I have a mate who is shifting tonight, so I am needed elsewhere.”I pat him on the shoulder.“Kyrio will take good care of you, he’s under order to keep you alive as long as possible while he skins you,” I tell him.Samuel stumbles, but Kyrio catches him just as Dimitri comes in.
I turn and take in Dimitri’s large frame.He is a giant of a man, his muscles bulging beneath his shirt, green eyes that burn with raging fire when angry.
“Oh, you haven’t met Dimitri; his mate was one of those killed when you and Micheal sent those rogues to attack.I’ll leave you two to get better acquainted,” I tell him.
Dimitri steps closer, and Samuel shrinks away from him.“Your death will be slow and painful,” he says through gritted teeth.Kyrio steps forward just as eager to get his hands on him with a sinister grin on his face.
Samuel chokes and whimpers before speaking.“They’ll come for you, Michael was just the tip of the iceberg, you have no idea who you’re messing with.”
I stop just in the doorway while Dimitri shrugs off his jacket, tossing it on the desk.I look at Dimitri while Kyrio moves to grab handcuffs and rope.“Make sure he is still alive before youfeed him to the rats,” I tell Dimitri.
“Don’t worry, Alpha, I’ll make sure he suffers for what he did to Bronte.”
I nod once and close the door.I wander down the corridor and head back to my room when I run into Tara preparing the dining hall with a few others.
“Tara,” I call out, and she glances up with the tray of cutlery in her hand.
“Have dinner sent up to my room tonight, we won’t be joining everyone tonight,” I tell her before grabbing the handrail about to climb the stairs.She nods quickly when I hear Samuel scream and those in the dining hall all stop and look in the direction of my office.
“You might want to send Dale and a few others in once Kyrio and Dimitri are done, so they can help to clean up.”
“We can clean it, Alpha,” one of the women says, but I shake my head.“Send for Dale, what’s going on in there, I don’t want you seeing,” I say, giving them a pointed look.
I climb a couple of steps when Tara speaks up.“Alpha?”I stop looking at her, and she drops her gaze to the floor.
“Don’t do that, look at me.Don’t shy away from me now,” I tell her.I hate how submissive the woman here are; which is kind of funny since I want Emery to submit to me.
Tara clears her throat before finally speaking.“Isn’t Samuel part of the council?”she asks, and I glance around at the other four women, who also hold the same worry on their faces.
“He is,” I tell them.They glance at each other nervously.
“But if you kill him… the council…” Tara pauses, her voice stuttering when Marilyn, Dale’s wife speaks up.Marilyn and Dale have a child together.Luckily, she was able to get to the bunkers in time with the select few who made it there.The rest weren’t so lucky.
“Alpha, they’ll come for us, the council will come and what of the other packs?”she murmurs, casting her gaze to the wall when I turn my attention to her.Sighing, I take a step down.
“We’ve been rogue before, they can shut our resourcesdown, but they won’t touch you,” I try to reassure them.
