He laughed. My hold on the cup tightened as I remembered Obsidian’s reaction. I threatened to cut off his balls and all he did was laugh at me.From what little I know of Obsidian, he probably thought that the threat was a joke. I meant every word, though. He might be able to overpower me, but if he hurt Devrim, I would find a way to go through with my promise.I frowned.There was a difference between liking a bit of pain and getting turned on when torturing a guy. The image of Devrim’s cuts and bruises flashed through my mind. Obsidian had made all those cuts on his skin with the damn knives he loved so much.What he had done to that man was much worse than what he had done to Devrim last night.I was still trying to wrap my head around it. If I had my phone, I would at least have been able to do some research to get a better understanding of that kind of thing, but my phone had been taken the day Ezra picked me up from my father’s house and the burner phone he gave me was good for

“Two dart guns, chains and rope, plastic ties and what looks like a video camera?” He held it up and stared at it with a deep frown.Walking around the car, I took it from him and turned away.One of the pride members had discovered a deserted car near the edge of town at a road that hadn’t been used in years. The back seat had blood on it that Devrim identified as Vanya’s.According to the scents, Obsidian had been loaded into the back of the car where they stored the tools and spare wheels. Vanya was in the backseat, and the man who took them was the one who had driven the car.Finding Vanya was much more important than worrying about Obsidian. The killer wouldn’t kill him, not yet anyway. But Vanya… he wanted her dead. He would kill her without a second thought, unless there was something else he had planned.Like Devrim had pointed out earlier, the man smelled familiar, but I couldn’t place it either.My eyes darted over to Devrim who was busy arguing with Reeves and Chief Curry.

It was all part of his plan.If Vanya died, I would be blamed for it. They’d kill me and every other pride member on the island. The humans would be turned against us by Reeves, because he was powerful enough to accomplish that.I knew he had been watching us. I knew he had seen me attacking Vanya.Small cameras had been set up in the corners. The entrance and exit had also been revealed numerous times when he entered and left. The gas he had used to knock me out in order to move me was something they had used in the facility. What was really worrying was the fact that he somehow got hold of the gas in the first place and that he knew so much about me.My eyes darted to one of the small vents I had seen hidden slightly from the human eye. It was how he was planning on knocking me out again.I was just waiting for the right time to strike. I paced back and forth next to Vanya’s unconscious body. Stopping, I licked at the deep wounds on her upper arms. A shudder raced through my body an

“Get the fuck out!” Ezra sneered.I ignored him and made my way over to the bed, but he stepped in front of me and flashed his teeth. I growled at him, but he didn’t even flinch. My eyes narrowed and my fists clenched at my sides.“You’re not allowed in here,” he hissed.“I’m here to talk to Vanya,” I told him.He growled. “She doesn’t want to talk to you.”My eyes shot over his shoulder to her. Her head was bent, her hands clutching at the sheet. I sucked in a deep breath and closed my eyes. The sweet smell of her fear filled the room.She’s scared of me. “Vanya?”Her body jerked as if I’d struck her. Slowly, she raised her head, but she couldn’t look me in the eyes. Her eyes briefly glanced in my direction, then instantly lowered again. What little colour she had in her cheeks when I arrived was now gone.“Get out,” Ezra growled. “She doesn’t want to talk to you.”My eyes snap back to his. “I’m talking to her and not to you.”“She doesn’t want to fucking talk to you! What made you

I think I’m going to pass out. After everything that had happened, I never thought that I would be returning to the cabin.My steps faltered when we reached the front door. Oblivious to my hesitation, Devrim opened the door and entered.As he turned to close it, his eyes locked on me. “Vanya?”When he told me that Obsidian was sick, the concern I felt had me agreeing to go with him, but standing outside the house made me second guess myself.I was about to face the man who had attacked me, the man who haunted my dreams, and not in a good way.Swallowing, I took a step forward, but my muscles tensed, preventing me from moving.“What’s wrong?” Devrim asked as he walked over to me. “You’ve gone pale.”“I…” My words trailed off when movement behind him caught my attention.My knees weakened when a wave of fear hit me. I wasn’t ready to see him yet!Panic hit next.If Devrim hadn’t grabbed hold of my arms, I would have run away.“Rosebud—”“I don’t want to see him,” I blurted.“Please, Va
