Preacher

I never understood how Cutter could kill so easily, without feeling or hesitation. Not until Everly told me what that bastard and his friends did to her. And now, I can't stop picturing my hands wrapped around his neck, choking the goddamn life out of him.

A bullet would be too quick, too easy of a way out for motherfuckers like that. I want to watch him die. Watch him suffer. The way he made her suffer. I want him to know his death is coming and drag it out as long as I possibly can.

It's not very Christian of me, but neither are a lot of things I've done lately, especially since I’ve taken up with this band of assholes. Yet, even the guilt can’t suppress the desire to vanquish him from Earth.

I shove the door to the warehouse open and storm in. Grace and Warwick look up from whatever they're doing at the table. Probably picking out more baby furniture.

Warwick shoves to his feet. “What's wrong?”

I wave him off. I can't talk about it right now. The feelings warring inside me are too volatile, too intense. Too…unstable.

It took every fucking ounce of restraint I possess not to go off in front of Everly. I wanted to destroy everything in sight. I wanted to rage and smash things since that fucker wasn’t within reach. But that wouldn’t have served any purpose, and it would have scared the fuck out of Everly. That girl has been through literal torture, and at the hands of a man who was supposed to love her and take care of her. My uncontained wrath would have only terrified her and possibly shown her I’m no better than he was.

That couldn’t be further from the truth. I may not be squeaky clean, but one thing I would never…no could never do is lay a hand on a woman. And anyone who would doesn’t deserve to breathe the same air as someone as sweet and perfect as that girl.

“Something we need to worry about?” Grace’s concern freezes me mid-stride.

She’s already having issues with the pregnancy. I don't need to be freaking her out now.

I force a smile onto my face while my hands clench at my sides. “No. Nothing like that. A personal issue.”

Warwick crosses his arms over his chest. “Since when do you have personal issues?”

Normally, I’d call him a prick for a smartass comment like that—even if it is true. But not today. Not now. Not after that confession. Not when I’ve been on the verge of a total meltdown for hours and hours.

“Like I said, you don't need to worry about it.” I glance over at Grace; she doesn't need to hear the horror of what was done to Everly. “Give me a little time…”

For now, I'm going find out everything there is to know about the sick fucker, and then, he's going to the top of my shit list. I’ll make what Valentina did to Arturo look like fucking child’s play.

This guy is now my number one priority.
