Chapter Nine

Adam

Adam’s skin was crawling. The last thing he wanted to do was take Shayla anywhere near this S.O.B. especially at the guy’s request. What was he up to anyway?

He held Shayla’s hand as they made their way down the stair to the basement where the guy was being held. The logical assumption was Kevin had sent the guy to deliver a message, but something in Adam’s gut told him that wasn’t the case. When they approached the cage and the prisoner came into view Shayla pulled her hand from his, covering her mouth with both hands as she cried out, “No!” The tears running down her face were instantaneous.

“Hello darlin’,” Eric said. He had a sickening smile plastered on his face as he addressed Shayla, and he moved as close to the front of the cage as he could get without touching the bars.

Adam was torn between needing to comfort Shayla and wanting to rip Eric’s head off. How was he here? He was supposed to be locked up for the foreseeable future for attempted murder. Flashbacks to the day he found Shayla unconscious and covered in her own blood sent a heightened wave of rage through Adam and he took last two steps that had separated him from standing directly in front of the cage. Before anyone had time to understand his intensions, Adam had his arms through the bars of the cage and he grabbed Eric and yanked him forward. He held Eric’s face against the silver bars and listened to the sounds of his flesh searing. Werewolves and silver didn’t mix—that was one thing the fairy tales got right.

Eric was yelling out a string of profanities that would make the devil himself cringe as he fought to pull Adam’s arms away. He was fighting a losing battle. Adam had never been happier to be the strongest of his kind than he was in right at that moment. He could hear his brothers yelling at him to let the guy go, but they didn’t know who Eric was and how he’d tried to kill Shayla. If they knew Adam was sure they’d be right there trying to help him rip the guy to pieces. He also knew that none of them would try to pull him away for fear of getting burned—literally. They wouldn’t risk becoming a victim to his blue flames, so when he felt hands tugging at one of his arms he knew it could only be one person. He turned his head and was face to face with Shayla. Her face was tear stained and her hands were shaking, but she was still putting every ounce of strength she had into trying to pull him back. His need to comfort her overrode his desire to kill Eric, and he let his arms drop from where they were holding the asshole’s face to the bars.

Adam wrapped Shayla in his arms and she quickly buried her face in his chest. He bent his head and kissed the top of her hair before lowering his mouth to whisper in her ear, “I’m sorry, Shay.
