“Are you nervous about our mating ritual?”

I looked at him and sighed. “Is it true that you’ll be fucking me?”

Josef chuckled. “Is that what’s bothering you?”

I nodded. “I’ve been fantasizing about fucking your perfect, little ass since I first laid eyes on you.”

He smiled, and damn if he didn’t look as cute as a fucking Girl Scout selling cookies. The little bastard was sexy as fuck and I could only imagine how great his mouth was going to feel on my cock.

Josef bit his bottom lip and that unleashed my resolve. With Théoden absent, I was free to act out a little. I launched across the limo, crushing him beneath me as I kissed those gorgeous lips of his. Lips that belonged to me, along with the rest of his body. I loved the way his fingers ran through my hair, gripping my dark curls as we made out. His tongue brushed along mine as we kissed, and my cock was hard as hell inside my pants and aching to get out and play.

I loved that I could sense his desire for me as strongly as mine was for him. At that point, I didn’t care that we had other people in the limo with us. Living in Théoden’s home, I was used to fucking in front of others, even complete strangers. I was sure Josef didn’t give a shit either, because I could feel his hard cock jutting up, poking me in my stomach.

“Seriously, dad,” Ivan said. Normally, he wouldn’t have spoken unless spoken to in Théoden’s presence. I guessed we were all having a little fun with my Sire out of sight.

Josef laughed, but didn’t stop kissing me. I loved the way his thighs felt caressing me, being between his legs was a beautiful place to be. I didn’t care that Ivan was watching us. Seeing as his Father was Alpha, he’d seen him naked plenty of times and vice versa. I was sure he’d even seen Josef fucking other men; human taboos didn’t apply to supes. The only thing that mattered was doing what made you feel good. Living your life as freely as you could. My fingers began undoing the stubborn knot of his tie and I was ready to take him right then and there.

“Dante, please… don’t kill us,” I heard Delilah saying through her tears, which broke me out of my lust-filled delirium. I was actually seconds away from trying to rip Josef’s tailor-made suit off his petite body and having my way with him.

I broke our kiss and looked over at her. “Delilah, there’s no use trying to appeal to my humanity. I no longer have any.” I sat up and wiped a little bit of saliva from my lip.

“How can you say that? How can you treat us this way? We were a family,” she pleaded.

I cut a glance to Dominic, who was staring at us with so much hatred, you’d have thought his eyes were going to pop out of his skull. He wanted to talk so badly, but I wasn’t ready to hear him ranting and raving just yet.

“We were a family, and then I was captured,embraced, and tortured into submission. But after I realized what it meant to be what I am, I accepted the gift for what it was. I love being a hybrid. The taste of human blood…” I paused to lick my lips for emphasis. “Mmmmm, you can’t possibly know how wonderful it is. Sex is amazing too, on a level no human can know or even hope to survive. Your world is so small and offers nothing compared to what I have before me.”

More tears poured down her cheeks as she looked at me. “Please…”

I shook my head. “The only mercy you’ll receive from me is that which Dominic chooses to give you. See, I want Dominic.” I paused as I thought about my feelings for him.

I loved him more than any other human besides my mom. What we shared was special and I wanted something even more with him. “I’m going toembracehim. He’ll be a vampire and because he is my son, he’ll be Lord of District Six. You will stay alive and healthy, with all of your bits and pieces intact, as long as he behaves.” When I said that, I looked at Dominic, and boy, if looks could kill, I’d be a smoldering pile of ash.

“I… I don’t even recognize you anymore,” she said as she shook her head in disgust.

I looked back at her. “No, you wouldn’t. I’m not that idiot human half-breed that you knew who thought I was making a difference. This is our world now, Delilah. Be glad I’m keeping you alive, even if it’s only for Dom’s benefit.”

“You’re actually going to let them kill Zach and David?! Zachary always looked up to you,” she raged.

“Zach, if he plays his cards right, may have a place in our pack. But that also depends on Dom. David… I don’t even know his ass, so why should I give a fuck about him?” I asked.

“He’s human, something you used to cherish and think was worth fighting for,” she replied.

“Now, human is something I feed on,” I said. I really wanted to hammer into her head that I wasn’t the Dante she remembered. The one who shared scraps of food with them over lighthearted conversation on the days when we weren’t running for our lives. I was now the thing we ran from. No way would I embarrass myself and prove myself unworthy by showing weakness.

“These are your people, Dante. Do with them as you please,” Josef said.

I knew what he meant. They’d hunt them only if I allowed it. I respected him for saying that. I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do with Zach, not a hundred percent. I knew my Father wanted Josef and me to start building our pack and, by the way things were turning out, it looked like we would need to. Zach, if I spared his life, might choose to be a wolf. Maybe I wouldn’t give him the choice, but it might be easier if I let him think it was his decision. David, well… I didn’t know him and couldn’t care less what happened to him. If Dominic gave me trouble, I would keep him around for my future son to feed on.

I smiled at Delilah. “What I do to them is my own business.”

“And you had a mother. Why didn’t you tell us?” she asked.

“Because once I realized she was alive, I wanted to keep her that way. If any one of us had been captured by the supes and tortured for information, that knowledge could have gotten out and been used against me.”

“Seems like it was,” she retorted.

I didn’t like the flippant response. “True. But I managed to turn it all around to my benefit. My mom is alive and well and she’s about to live with me now. Safe and sound. That wouldn’t have been the case if she’d been discovered by Deacon or any other wolf, I’m sure. Listen, D, I don’t want to kill you. Really, I don’t. I’m hoping I can offer you a life with me, but that’s all going to hinge on Dominic. He loves you and, well, I’m going to use his feelings for you to my advantage. Now, shut the fuck up.” I made sure to silence her with my mind, then I climbed back into my seat to look at Dominic. “Speak.”
