“Don’t act brave when you can’t even handle me!” Emmet hissed.
“Bitch please, I fucking could.” She snapped, stepping back and just when I thought she was done, she slammed the gun into his dick, making him roar in pain. “And this one is for betraying my man.” The gun went off and he sure as hell got hurt because he howled like a fucking idiot, and I dropped him to the ground.
‘Tell me, Leo, do dick piercings hurt? Because I sure hope that one hurt him.’ She said through the link.
Smirking faintly, I glanced at her, seeing the raw anger in her eyes, her chest heaving as she glared down at him.
‘Not really for me, but then again, I don’t mind pain. As for this bastard, it’s clear you caused him some pain. I replied.
Our eyes met, and I slowly moved her away.
“You will be trialled, and your fate will be decided.” I said, only for him to nod slowly, as if he understood that.
“Then I guess you must be prepared for your truth to come out. Does your old man know?”
“Yeah, not that it’s your fucking business. I’m ready to speak the fucking truth.” I said coldly, glaring down at him. “Judah Gallahan, do you know him? Or ever heard of him?”
“And answer truthfully.” Dad added, his command rolling off him.
Emmet frowned but shook his head. “No, but I think your woman knows him pretty well. Since they fucking created some pretty neat sex videos-“
An animalistic growl filled the air, and it took me a few seconds to realise it was mine as I grabbed him, throwing him against the far wall. My wolf’s rage bleeding in with my own. “How do you know that?!” I snarled.
“Leo. It’s fine.” Azura said, placing a hand on my back. My eyes were blazing, the anger bubbling past the surface and Dad moved her back, shaking his head.
“Wouldn’t you like to… know…” Emmet muttered through gritted teeth. He smirked, and before Dad could even enforce his command, he bit down on his tongue, groaning in pain before blood began spilling from his mouth. Azura gasped as the smell of blood filled the air, and he spat his tongue out shocking us all.
The sick bastard had bitten it off.
Emmet let out a choked laugh, and I knew there was no way I was going to get the answer from him right now.
“Fool.” Dad growled. “Shall we move him to a cell without silver? We can ask him through the link once he’s recovered.”
“No, I don’t want him even having the chance to mind link anyone. He’ll be trialled and if he fucking wants to defend himself, he can use those hands to write, otherwise I don’t give a fuck if he breaks them both too.” I growled, delivering a powerful kick to his shoulder, knocking him back onto the now bloody floor. I wasn’t one to kick a man when he’s down… but he fucking deserved it. “I’m heading to the caverns.”
Turning, I took Azura’s hand, guiding her out of the cell. I glanced at the guards, who waited for Marcel to step out before locking the door.
“Make sure no one visits him.”
I made sure there were always four guards who were rotated often, so even if one was to betray me… there would be three to watch… plus I had the entire place under surveillance. The only time they opened the door was once a day for food and that tray was searched thoroughly, too.
We reached the main floor when Eric approached. Disappointment and shame clear in his eyes as he lowered his head to us.
“I’m sorry Alpha.”
“No need to be.” I replied, although I knew the brothers were never close, it was obvious Eric saw through Emmet when I did not…
“Thanks.” He said before giving Azura a big smile.
She grinned back, but there was something devilish cooking in that brain of hers. “Oh Eric, before the Alpha ceremony, I need you to come visit me.”
He raised his eyebrows, but nodded. “I will. Can I ask why?” He looked a little nervous, not that I fucking blamed him. He was watching Azura tuck the staple gun back into her bag before looking up at her again.
“Can’t say.” She smirked, giving him a wink before waving at him as we passed. Her smile faded when she turned to me. ‘Let’s go.
I didn’t want to take her down there… but out of everyone I’d rather it be her with me down there. I also wanted her with me, just in case something went down… “We’re heading out. Let Corrado know I’ll be late. I’ll tell Winona to put him to bed.” I said to Dad, who nodded.
“Are you sure you don’t want me to come with you, Leo?”
I shook my head, “No, I don’t think that’s a place you fucking need to go to…”
He sighed heavily and nodded. “Don’t go alone.”
“I won’t, I’ll take back up.”
He nodded slowly. “I presume Jax…. Ace…”
“They are part of the Six, my most trusted.” I said,
“I figured as much. I know now is not the time, but you should consider who you will make your Beta and Delta. We only have six days until the ceremony.” Dad said quietly.
My Beta and Delta… “I’ll have a think.” I replied, before slipping my hand around Azura’s waist and led her away.
LEO.
“I remember this place.” Jin said quietly, looking around. It was me, Azura, Jax and Dan as well. Ace and Li Sheng were still trying to track down Judah.
We had come fully equipped just in case shit went down and I had Azura with us. I would not risk anything and intended to ask Raihana or maybe even Delsanra to place a protective spell around her, just in case something happened. I needed her and our pup safe. “Who doesn’t?” I replied to Jin. We spoke quietly, yet our voices seemed to echo through the dark tunnels, bouncing off the walls and reaching our ears.
It had taken us two hours to get here, and now, with each passing moment, that dark feeling of foreboding grew. I looked around the darkness. I could still feel the darkness hanging in the air… as if a shadow of her presence remained within these caverns. My gaze went to the far wall. Just when we turned a bend, I remember when she had created a child Wendigo… Yet even as a monster; the child was a child… its eerie wailing chilled me to the core, and I remember her throwing it against the wall and killing it… spreading blood and guts across that entire wall…
I had to clean it…
When people hear that I have a sharp memory and can remember pretty much everything, they say I’m lucky or are simply impressed… sometimes… sometimes forgetting things is a blessing… “Leo.” Azura’s voice pulled me from the darkest corners of my mind, and I exhaled slowly.
I tried to get rid of the dark, damp smell that filled my nose, a smell I was so used to while growing up.
