LOGINCole's POVI stood there in the middle of the cell and watched their faces change the second the words left my mouth. Damien’s eyes went wide first, then Romanov started shaking his head like he could not believe what he just heard. Marek was already hanging there half dead from the beating I gave him earlier but even he lifted his head slowly and stared at me with pure terror in his eyes. None of them moved. None of them spoke. They just hung there chained to the wall waiting for me to say I was joking. But I was not joking. I don't joke. Not even a little.“Get started,” I said calmly and clearly. “Damien, you take Marek first. Fuck him hard while Romanov you hold him down and make sure he takes every inch he gives. If any of you stop or go easy I will cut something off and feed it to the next one.”My voice did not shake. I meant every word and they knew it because they had seen what I did to people who crossed me before.Romanov looked at me like I had lost my mind. “You are
Cole's POVThe moment they dragged them in, the air inside the cell changed.Damien, Romanov, and Marek were finally in one place.All three of them.All three responsible.All three breathing the same air as me.The metal door slammed shut behind us, and for a few seconds, no one spoke.Marek was already hanging where I left him, his body weak and barely holding on, but the moment he saw the other two being dragged in, his eyes widened slightly like he did not expect to see them again.Romanov was thrown to the ground first, groaning as his injured shoulder hit hard.Damien was forced down next, but he did not fall quietly, he struggled against the guards until they shoved him harder and forced him onto his knees.Then his eyes lifted.And they met mine.“You really went this far,” he said slowly, his breathing still uneven from the fight.I stepped forward.“You should have killed me when you had the chance,” I replied.Romanov let out a weak laugh from the ground.“You think this c
A week gone~Cole’s POVFor weeks, there had been nothing but movement, tracking, waiting, and then moving again.Damien and Romanov did not stay in one place for long, and that alone told me how scared they were, because men like them did not run unless they knew something worse was coming for them.And I was that thing.We had chased leads across different territories, burned through safe houses, and wiped out every man who tried to stand in our way, and every time we got close, they slipped away again like rats hiding in holes.But this time was different.Mark had finally gotten something solid, a confirmed location that did not look like another trap or false lead, and the moment he sent it through, I did not even wait to think twice before moving.Raid was already with me before I said anything.He did not ask questions.He did not need to.Raid knew exactly what this meant.We moved at night, with a small team behind us, because I did not want too many people involved, and I di
Raid's POVThe moment Marek’s eyes snapped open after the injection, the first thing he saw was Cole standing directly in front of him.For a few seconds Marek just stared at him, breathing hard like someone who had been drowning and suddenly got dragged back to the surface.Then the pain came back.His entire body tensed against the chains holding his arms above him and a broken sound escaped his throat.“Please…” he rasped weakly.Marek looked nothing like the confident man we had chased for months.His clothes were soaked, his face was pale, and his eyes kept moving around the room like he was hoping to find a way out even though he knew there was none.Cole watched him silently.There was something terrifying about that silence.Because the Cole I used to know would shout, threaten, maybe even laugh while hurting someone, but this version of him was quiet and calm, and that calmness made everything worse.“You woke up faster this time,” Cole said slowly.Marek swallowed painfully.
Raid’s POVThe ride back was quiet but the silence inside the vehicle felt stiff and uncomfortable, and every time I glanced at the rear seat where Marek was tied down, I could see the fear slowly growing in his eyes as the reality of his situation settled inside his head.Marek had been arrogant and loud and confident, but now he looked different because his legs were bleeding badly from the gunshots and every bump on the road made him groan in pain while he tried to hold himself together.He kept looking at Cole again and again like he was hoping to see some kind of mercy in his face, but there was nothing there.Absolutely nothing.Cole drove the entire time without speaking, his hands steady on the wheel and his eyes cold and distant like he was already thinking about the things he planned to do once we arrived.I had known Cole for many years and I had seen him angry before. I had seen him kill without hesitation and destroy enemies without blinking, but what I was seeing now was
Week’s later~Raid’s POVThe night air was cold and quiet as our convoy moved through the empty road, and the only sounds were the engines of the vehicles and the occasional crackle from the communication devices inside the cars.I sat in the passenger seat while Cole drove.Cole.His face looked the same as it had for the past two weeks, cold and empty, like a man who had already crossed a line and had no intention of ever going back.Two weeks ago he had been thinking he had lost Esme.And the man sitting beside me now was not the same one who had once looked at her like she was the only thing keeping him human.Now he looked like someone who had accepted darkness completely.We had received the information just hours ago from Mark.He had tracked the signal we had been hunting for days and finally confirmed the location of the man who had caused so much destruction.Marek.Mark had sent the coordinates and Cole had not even waited ten minutes before ordering everyone to prepare.An

Esme's POV “Tell me, why did you send for me?” I asked, my voice calm but heavy. I didn’t blink. I wanted him to see that question for what it really was — not curiosity but accusation.He looked at me rigidly, shoulders tight. His gaze darted briefly toward Cole before coming back to me. “You’re
Esme's POV Cole grabbed my waist and threw me against the bed effortlessly, his aura suddenly turning cold and cruel all at once, something has changed in his aura all of a sudden, I noticed it immediately."At least if you're going to leave, I should have one good feel of you. I should mark you s
Cole's POV"Who's he?" she asked, her voice cutting through the quiet room like a challenge. I paused in the doorway, my hand still on the handle, and turned slow to face her. She stood there with her arms crossed, her eyes fixed on me expectantly. The light from the window hit her face, highlight
