Fifteen

His eyes finally rise to my face. Recognition flickers across his features before he locks his reactions behind a blank mask and a vacant stare.

“Four days ago in Ashrun, Wyoming, you took two girls from Ruination. Their alpha would like them back,” I announce evenly, seeing how far the “I’m Just Doin’ My Job” act will get me.

Neither of them show even the slightest hint that they’ve heard me.

“You both know what’s going to happen now,” I continue, my tone bored, but my stare shrewd. “I ask a question. You think staying silent means you’re winning. I hurt you until I get what I want, and then you die. However, I’m willing to do things differently for one of you, and I won’t make this offer again, so don’t squander it. The first person to tell me right now what I want to know can get up and walk out of here. You’ll never see me or my people again.”

The Caster scoffs.

“I get it, you think I’m going to kill you anyway as soon as you tell me. But I’m happy to swear an oath on it. I’ll even make all my men swear one too.”

“If you don’t kill us, they will, so you’re wasting your time. Just get it over with,” the grizzly grits out.

The Caster’s eyes narrow as he stares at the ground. He doesn’t like that the teddy bear is speaking.

“That’s right,” I purr, nodding my head as though I’m just remembering something. “The master has you guys on a tight leash, doesn’t he?”

The stocky Caster tries to hide it behind a wall of indifference, but he’s just not seasoned enough to mask his flinch when I say the word master.

“Normally, I’d say you’re right. Even if I let you go, he’s definitely going to hunt you down and make you pay, but here’s the thing…what if I kill him for you? I mean, full disclosure, it wouldn’t exactly be for you; my alpha has requested a certain kind of message be sent to the person responsible for taking the members of her pack. But if your master is dead and his nest destroyed, who’s coming for you then? Certainly not me. We’d have a deal.”

For the first time since I’ve started speaking, the grizzly looks up at me. His sepia brown eyes don’t wander all over my body like his friend’s did. No, he’s got more important things on his mind. Things like surviving.

That’s it, Yogi, take the bait.

“One word out of your mouth, and your family will suffer for it,” a silvery voice chimes from behind me.

Anger boils through me as I turn to find the third member of this crew, the Caster bitch, Paisley, with a thing for Lamia, being escorted in by Brae. Her stride is confident. Her gaze is narrowed on the grizzly, and there’s an acidic warning in her dove-gray eyes.

“Dammit, Cookie,” Brae barks. “Do you have something against clothes? Why do you always seem to be missing them?”

I shoot a glare at the Knight.
