Chapter Nine

“You do realize she will let you beat Laurent to death, right?” Viktor asked, pointing at where Valentina sat tied to a chair, smiling around the gag in her mouth. “She heard all his screams as they echoed through your medieval dungeon and couldn’t have cared less about the poor boy. He was merely a means to an end.”

“Yes, and now he is a means for me to expel a bit of the rage,” Roman growled, wiping his chauffeur’s blood from his hands.

“Do as you will. How about I speak with your little tréfon?” He sniffed as he rolled up his sleeves. “I believe I may have an idea that will loosen her lips.”

Roman gave a single nod as he watched his Commander walk toward the woman who had been his feeder for nearly twenty years. He had no pity for her. Actually, all he felt was an overwhelming need to throttle her about the neck until she no longer drew breath as punishment for her crimes. Yes, he wanted answers, but her death was sounding more appealing with every passing second.

Going back to the next room to Laurent, Roman stood and glared at the man hanging from a hook dangling from a chain in the bowels of his mansion, completely baffled how someone who had been so loyal for so long could betray him in such an overwhelming fashion.

The sound of his heels on the stone floor reminded him of another time and place when he and Viktor had been forced to take their pound of flesh in the pursuit of justice. Visions of the past flooded his mind as he walked down the long cold corridor and was transported back to just ten years after his rebirth. He could feel the cold wet grass through his tunic while he laid hidden in the weeds just south of the traitor’s camp. Looking across the clearing, he saw the determination in his Commander’s eyes as he crept closer to their enemies, attempting to see how many combatants they would send across the River Styx on this night.

Eight flashes of Vitkoras’ blade in the moonlight. Eight traitors, all celebrating yet another bloodbath perpetrated for their own ill-gotten gains. The fury that rose within Romanus was barely containable. It was
