Page 82 of Dark Corruption

We took them in a single file, following the flashing dot on my phone screen.

In a side room, a pained cry was followed by heavy panting. Rob was accompanied by a handful of men, one of whom was trying to stitch his cock back together, a grimace on his face.

‘Kill them,’ I said. ‘Cam with me.’

We didn’t have time to dispatch them all together. I left my brothers and Alec to deal with them as Cam and I made our way to the door at the end of the corridor. We noticed that someone had roughly attached a series of cables to the wall and through a gap near the top of the door. I prayed they were for the cameras as I slid my knife through them. We didn’t need murder on camera.

Tearing the door open, my eyes immediately locked on Edwards; he was standing behind Cora, dick in hand, attempting to pin her beneath him as she resisted. Her terrified cries filled me with a hot red bloodlust. Cam went to Maeve, whose head was drooping against her chest, a dark red pool gathered below her. My eyes stung at the sight of my sister torn apart.

Edwards stumbled away from Cora as I approached, holding my knife in front of me. He ran toward a table, holding his trousers up and grabbing a gun from the drawer.

Fuck.

He held it and pointed at Cora, andI froze.

‘Seems you’ll get to watch her die in person,’ he laughed before cocking the gun.

For a brief moment, panic seized me; then, without hesitation, I charged at him. His eyes widened as he directed the gun at me and pulled the trigger. The pain ripping through my stomach didn’t stop me as I barrelled into him and knocked him over. Metal crashed as his gun went flying the second I landed on top of him. Blood squelched as I drove my knife into his face, his eye coming out when I retracted the blade, only to thrust it right back into the other one. Blood-curdling screams echoed through the room, but I didn’t stop. My knife punctured his tongue and throat, slicing through his cheek. A jolt of pain lanced up my arm upon striking his skull. The blade sliced along his scalp where it couldn't penetrate flesh.

My attack was frenzied, ceasing only when my arms grew weak, and Edwards lay still beneath me.

My body hit the floor as I slumped off of him sideways, my shirt soaked with blood that was only half mine.

At least he was fucking dead.

My breath rattled as I glanced over at Cam, who cradled Maeve in his arms, tears streaming down his face. Her body was limp against him as Esther wailed beside them.

A shuffling pulled me back to Cora. She was working her way to me on my knees, her arms still fixed behind her. Her body collapsed over me, her lips meeting mine.

‘I knew you’d come,’ she whispered against my face, her hot tears landing on my cheeks.

‘Always,’ I muttered, my head swimming as she moved in and out of focus. Commotion filled the room as the others piled in, coated in red.

‘Jesus,’ Mac said. He made his way to Edwards and patted him down, finding keys and throwing them to Alec. He quickly unlocked the women while calling the private hospital. ‘We need an emergency pick up, fast. No sirens. You know the drill.’

I smiled as he hung up and pulled Esther into his arms. Logan scooped Valentina up and helped Molly limp toward the door, her breath heavy as she gripped her side.

Mouths moved, but I couldn’t hear them as a ringing filled my ears.

‘Ewen,’ Cora said. ‘Look at me.’

Her voice was far off despite her being pressed up against my chest.

‘You’re so beautiful,’ I said. ‘I should have told you in the club. I wanted to.’

‘You can tell me later. Save your energy. Just focus on my face.’

‘I love you,’ I whispered, every word making sharp pains radiate in my stomach. She had to know. I couldn’t die without telling her. ‘I love everything about you. I would have spent my life making you happy.’

‘You will,’ she sobbed, her hair sticking to her wet cheeks. ‘You don’t get to leave me like this.’

‘Next time...’ I panted as I battled a rolling darkness. ‘I’ll tell you sooner.’

‘Ewen...’ her voice died off as a wash of calm filled me, and I stopped fighting against the shadows.
