CYNRIC
A Bravikov enforcer stands at the large steel door leading into our smaller warehouse. If you were outside on the street, youâd never think anything nefarious was happening inside. The building appears to be vacant. I nod at a second enforcer, who tries to step into the elevator with me. My expression puts him back on the floor as I hit the button to go down. I itch. My hands tingle at the prospect of ripping Russell to pieces. Isabellaâs bruises flash in my mind, and I crack the bones in my neck. âNo one better have touched him.â
The doors open, and I step into a long, dark hall. The third enforcer tips his head at me, keeping his position still. Thatâs how theyâre supposed to act.
I push open the door and the scent of piss hits my nose. Charging in, I bellow. âI told you not to touch him.â
Anatoly leans against the far table with a smirk. âI didnât, but he knows whatâs coming. He pissed himself the second he came to, tied to the chair.â
My eyes scan the room, finding him hunched over on a steel chair in the middle of the room, sitting over a drain. My brow raises at Anatoly.
âHeâs ready for you to dismember him.â
I charge at the man who injured Isabella. Fear permeates the air and competes with the smell of urine for the overall stench of the room. Russell thrashes in the chair. The fabric gag in his mouth is tied tight enough that he canât close his mouth. Bruises cover his face, but nowhere near what Iâm going to do to the man. I reach for the gag and use my knife to slice through the dark, wet cloth.
âPlease. Please. I didnât know she mattered.â
His cheek drips blood and I smile. I wipe the blade on the rag Anatoly hands me. I lean against the table in front of Russell. âYouâre an idiot, and youâre going to die a slow, painful death for hurting my woman.â
He shakes his head. âNo. I didnât know.â
I catch the expression on Anatolyâs face as he smirks. âDonât play with your prey. Just kill him.â
I select the small garden shears off the metal table next to me. I open and close the two sharp blades, like scissors and cock my head. âWhat to cut off?â
My brother, Wystan, enters the room. âHis nuts.â
I laugh. âDonât tempt me. He tried to rape Isabella.â I stare at the man as he cringes. âOut of curiosity, why didnât you?â
âShe said she got an STD from the doctor she was banging at the other hospital. Itâs why she had to change her rotation.â
Wystan scoffs, leaning against the wall by the door. âStupid.â
I roll my eyes at Anatoly. âMy woman is smart.â
Russellâs forehead pinches. I can see the wheels spinning. âShe lied?â
âOf course, she fucking lied. Sheâs a doctor; sheâs not going to get an STD from some random guy at her work.â
Wystan coughs. âI could do this.â
I whip my head to my brother.
