Jarek.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There were voices in my head. Voices I couldn\u2019t control that whispered dark twisted nonsenses into my mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They told me that I needed to inflict the woman before me with so much pain. That I ought to strangle her once and for all to keep her from ever causing troubles for my Leilani.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I knew that it was my feral wolf speaking so I clenched my hands into tight fists as I glared hard at Keisha, whilst waiting for her to jolt awake as soon as the electric current seeps\u00a0<\/p>\n
into her bones.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Orion, from behind me, suddenly turned on the switch and as soon as he did, her loud scream cut through the quiet air, causing my heart to swell with a twisted kind of satisfaction. She threw her head back, groaning, but when her eyes landed on my face, a sure slow smile slowly spread across her lips, almost splitting her face into two.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She purred; \u201cJarekkkk?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
But I hated the way she called my name. I hated the way she looked at me like I was a piece of mouthwatering snack. I hated her face, her voice, her eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And I hated the fact that she had tried to hurt my Leilani.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For the past few days, I have tried all I could not to come here. I have tried as much as I could to be as far away from this dungeon as possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Because I had no idea what I\u2019d do to her if I had come when Leilani was still struggling between life and death. And strangely, Leilani was fine now. She was out of danger and the hospital altogether, but I still couldn\u2019t control myself from wanting to hurt Keisha so badly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I spat; \u201cKeisha.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the sound of her name, she closed her eyes and let out a breathy moan, whilst tilting her head back to expose her neck.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was a gesture of surrender, but not the usual kind you\u2019d think it was. This wasn\u2019t her acknowledging the fact that I was superior to her, it was her acknowledging that we\u00a0<\/p>\n

were mates- or used to be one\u2026 mates to mate. Mates to fuck.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I scrunched up my nose in disgust and took a step back. Goddess, I wasn\u2019t anywhere close to her but I\u2019d hate it if she contaminated my clothes and skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her eyes flew open when she heard me take a step back and then they widened. \u201cYou don\u2019t want me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I don\u2019t.\u201d I seethed. \u201cI only want to know why you tried to attack Leilani.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the mention of Leilani\u2019s name, her face fell. She shrugged dismissively and turned away, but I didn\u2019t miss the tears now pooling at the corners of her eyes or the way her hands began to tremble slightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat girl is a freak.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSays you who is also a freak.\u201d I spat back. \u201cAt least, she doesn\u2019t go around causing mayhem, but you do. So tell me, who\u2019s the bigger freak?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She recoiled as if physically struck by my words and then she lowered her eyes, sighing as she whispered; \u201cShe\u2019s a worse freak than I am, Jarek. Goddess, she wasn\u2019t\u00a0<\/p>\n
even easily taken down by silver and wolfsbane, forcing me to give her more shots until\u00a0<\/p>\n
11\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think you\u2019re getting me, Keisha. She\u2019s none of your business and I am ordering you- not asking you- to stay away from her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Again she stopped talking, and this time, when tears poured down her face, I didn\u2019t care one bit. I didn\u2019t even budge when her hands shot out to grab me. She whispered; \u201cPlease. Please stay away from her. She\u2019s trouble and the only thing she would do is create more chaos in your life!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
More than the one you created?\u00a0<\/p>\n
I squeezed my eyes shut at her words, and upon realizing how frugal it was to have a reasonable conversation with her, I slowly let out a deep breath. \u201cKeisha,\u201d I growled, smirking when her head snapped in my direction with an unreal speed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I knew she couldn\u2019t go against me now, not when I had decided to use my Alpha voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I continued; \u201cIf you do not listen to me, I\u2019ll kill Grace and I\u2019ll kill your stupid baby daddy, Gerald. Do you hear me?!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t mean to do that. Hell, I could never kill a child, but I had to threaten her with something she loved dearly. Something that would make her back off. For a moment, she went silent. And then her eyes lit up like lights on a Christmas tree. She struggled\u00a0<\/p>\n

against the silver chains until she was sitting upright and then she stared me straight\u00a0<\/p>\n
in the eyes and drawled;\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKill them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I froze, stunned. \u201cHuh?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI want you to kill them, if that means I get to end up with you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her words shocked me so much, I could barely believe my ears. First came frustration then anger\u2026 and then it ended, morphing into a feeling of disgust.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Disgust that she would even consider it. Disgust that she seemed so unfazed after being threatened with her daughter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I heard someone scoff behind me and I didn\u2019t even need to check to know that it was\u00a0<\/p>\n
Orion. And usually, while this scenario would\u2019ve been something he would have found funny, he didn\u2019t. Instead he turned away and began to pace behind me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I seethed; \u201cNo, Keisha. No, we\u2019re done. So I order you to leave my life and the pack. Henceforth, you\u2019re considered a rogue and I\u2019m breaking all the ties you have left with the Frostclaw pack. If your mother wishes to go with you, then she\u2019s free. Okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her knees crashed against the floor, taking the heavy electric chair she was chained to with her as she fell and she bowed, whilst muttering; \u201cokay,\u201d over and over again under\u00a0<\/p>\n
her breath.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I knew that she was against it. I could see it in the stubborn set of her chin. But she could hardly resist my voice- half Lycan or not.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I turned away from her pathetic form and stepped out of the cell, not forgetting to order Orion before I left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I snarled; \u201cTorture her a few more times and increase the voltage of the chair too. Do that for a couple more hours before you let her go, and ensure that she\u2019s escorted out of this pack as she\u2019s no longer one of us.\u201d 2\u00a0<\/p>\n
The loud cry that tore out from Keisha\u2019s throat showed just how wrecked she was from\u00a0<\/p>\n
the sentence I\u2019d dealt her with.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She cried loudly, begging me to stay and swearing that she\u2019ll be good; But I was done with her. I\u2019ve been done with her for so long.\u00a0<\/p>\n
