“Smug motherfucker,” Brandon mutters, pulling a few bills out of his wallet and throwing them at Ashton.
Anger explodes in my stomach, my entire body trembling with my restrained fury.
“You were fucking betting on us?”
“All’s fair in love and war, Easton. Stop getting your panties in a—oh, that’s right, you’re not wearing any.”
“You’re all fucking sick. What did you give us?”
“Just something to make sure you had fun.” The smirk on Cade’s face has me stepping toward him, my fists curled at my sides, ready to take a swing at him.
“You’ve got three hours until tonight’s dinner. You’ll both find suits in your rooms.”
“Fuck. You. I’m not doing anything else you fucking say, you sick bastard.”
“Oh, but I think you will.”
My teeth grind as our eyes hold, hate crackling between us.
“You don’t show and I’ll make sure something very precious to you gets broken. And not just by me.”
He must read the horror on my face, because an accomplished smile curls at his lips as the images from my time locked underground come back to me.
“I don’t want to share her. But I will, if I need to. And I’ll make sure you get a front row seat.”
I fight not to react, but I fear it’s pointless. He already knows.
“Fucking cunt,” I mutter, knowing he’s got me over a barrel.
“Make sure you’re at Gravestone Hall by seven. If you’re late, I can promise you, you will regret it.”
“I’ll probably regret it if I’m on time, too,” I mutter under my breath. “Are you done throwing your weight around, boss?”
“Just make sure you’re there. Or don’t, actually. I think I might enjoy your punishment too much.”
He pushes from the couch and steps toward me. If he wants me to cower to him, then he’ll be bitterly disappointed.
“Don’t let me down, Easton.”
He breezes past me, his little minions following soon after.
Channing’s eyes hold mine for a second too long, and I can’t help but wonder if he’s trying to tell me something, but I’m too exhausted to attempt to decipher it.
“I need sleep before the games continue,” Alex announces, turning toward his room.
“I’m so fucking sick of this,” I bark, watching him go.
“Tonight is the last test. It’ll be over then.”
“We might initiate in, but I think we both know this isn’t going to stop. Not unless we kill that motherfucker.”
“We’ll see how it goes, eh? I’m gonna pass out now.”
He damn near falls through the door before slamming it behind him.
Following his lead, my feet take me to my room before the others return—assuming they were banished the second the Electi turned up.
My chin drops the second I step into my room.
