Chapter Seven

Billy slowly cracked his eyes opened, and then wished he hadn’t when he realized he was back in his basement cell. After Alpha Larson’s death, he had thought never to see this place again.

That’s what he got for thinking.

He hissed as he went to sit up and bone-jarring pain ripped through his body. It wasn’t anything he hadn’t felt before, but much like the basement cell, he hadn’t thought to experience it again.

He really needed to stop thinking.

Billy ground his teeth together as he scooted himself back to sit against the cold cement wall. He wracked his brain and tried to remember how he had ended up where he was. Little by little, things came back to him.

Billy winced as he reached back and rubbed the knot on the back of his head. He was pretty sure that came from a baton. He vaguely remembered running through the woods. He had turned when he heard a noise and pain had exploded in the back of his head. It had been lights out after that until now.

The aches and pains over a majority of his body told him the beating hadn’t stopped just because he had been unconscious. That was nothing new. As long as there was a breath left in his body, the beatings would continue.

The question was, who was doing the beating this time?

Billy knew for a fact that Prince Larson was dead, as were most of the inner circle and coven soldiers. Besides the low-level coven members, there weren’t too many people left to administer his beatings, but there were a few.

When the door at the end of the hallway opened, Billy wasn’t surprised in the least when Prince Larson’s second-in-command stepped into the corridor. The vampire with short black hair could have been anyone. The snarl on the man’s lips was all Carson Palmer.

Billy stared at the man, waiting for his next beating to begin. It would come just as sure as he sat there on the cold, hard floor of his cell. Carson couldn’t go more than five minutes without inflicting his own brand of terror on someone. It was almost as if he needed the violence in order to breathe.

“You’ve been a very bad boy, Boy.”

Billy didn’t bother acknowledging the man’s words. There was no point. Besides the fact that Carson refused to address him by his name, as though that made him less of a person, he hadn’t done anything wrong. His innocence wouldn’t save him, though. He could have a letter signed by the Pope, proclaiming his innocence, and Carson would still beat him.

“I have to admit, you saved me the effort of killing Larson myself,” Carson said, “but that doesn’t excuse your actions.”

Of course not.

“You betrayed your prince when you attacked him,” Carson continued. “You betrayed your coven by killing your prince.” Billy finally glanced up when Carson grabbed the metal bars of Billy’s cell. There was a cold, calculating grin on the man’s face. “You have to be punished, Boy.”

“You don’t have that right,” Billy insisted.
