"You don't know shit," Hendrick snapped.
"You think your pack name is gonna be your saving grace?" Travis retorted back. "Your father's in fucking hiding for the shit you pulled off. You got your mother murdered or whatever the fuck happened to her that led to your father's spiral into drugs and pissing off the wrong mafia gangs down in the city. You got your younger brother murdered, and now you're selling your fucking sister who you have molested for how many years? You're a damn disease to this entire family name and if your father didn't go into hiding, I bet you'd get their whole pack killed as well."
"I'm gonna fucking kill you," Hendrick hissed.
"I'm immortal, fucker," Travis gleefully declared. "I can't be killed, but you certainly can, since you’re a wolf."
"We're not doing this."
The sound of something clicking into place made my rapidly beating heart stop in its tracks while something cold pressed to my temple.
"Listen, Hendrick. Maybe I'm not being threatening enough," Travis whispered using that voice he always used on me.
The softened voice of a predator hiding their true desires and secrets with the tender tone to lure you right into their web of lies.
Only this time around, I bet my brother knew his intentions weren't pure - especially when there was clearly a gun pressed against my temple.
"I don't want to kill your precious little sister, but your mess up fucked me big time and I can't handle that," he snarled. "Do you understand how powerful Kolten is? Everyone's always afraid of that reject Killian simply because of his murder record, but Kolten runs the city and this town isn't safe from his predatory hands."
He paused to take a moment to deeply inhale and let it out slowly.
"You see this vampire body of mine? It's fucking dying. Blood simply sustains the fucking craziness in my head. And you know how very few of us are left anywhere near this town. My Coven went into hiding with your pack after the bullshit you pulled, and the alliance was run by your father. With him gone, the vamps don't see any need to be around, which means I can't find the answers I need to fix myself," he explained. "But Kolt has the connections to the medicine I need. He has the means to lead me back to the Coven I was exiled from, and with a few string pulls, I can get back to my home. I've worked eons to finally be able to get this far, and I knew your sister would be perfect bait. That's why I dated her."
How had I fallen for all of this?
I knew Travis wasn't the best boyfriend. I knew he was a dangerous person from the vibe he gave off and when he said we had to do the deed or else he'd break up with me and make life hell. Only, my life was already a living hell. But I guessed having a boyfriend made it less lonely. How wrong of a decision I realized it was now.
I should have run away like I'd wished to do so many times. To be the true outcast and abandon everything about the city, the town, everything. If I'd gone to an island or one of those huge cities where millions of people lived, would they have found me?
Regardless if I was pursued by whoever our enemy was, maybe I'd be a whole lot stronger and not a weak victim left to this level of abuse.
"Now that you know my story, you gotta cooperate with me so we can both get out of this shithole. Your sister is pretty useless, but don't act like she didn't take your mother's gift."
Gift?
"It's dormant," Hendrick hissed. "She can't even light a candle with her mind. How the fuck is she gonna be like my mom, who burned a fucking city down when she was pregnant?"
"Your mom burned that city to the fucking ground and all that was left was ashes. Nothing survived that, but you know what did? She had her unborn child, which was your baby sis."
"She doesn't have any powers, Travis! She's fucking useless!"
"You said the same about Kyle, and yet he set half of the forest on fire and killed his captor before they found his body," Travis countered.
"How the fuck do you know all of this?!"
"Because I do my research, Hendrick. And do you know why Kolt desperately needs your sister?"
"Why?!" Travis snapped.
"She's his mate."
Pin drop silence.
"You're lying."
"She has the same skull mark on her chest as him."
"That-"
