Finishing quietly, Anton pulled out of the girl, who was now semi-comatose, and quickly rearranged his clothes before walking out of the room, never once looking in my direction.

Sighing dramatically, Fabio tugged on the girl's leash, choking her out before continuing, "But my son is unwilling to let you go. Whether he wants to admit it to himself or not, he is still very much under your spell." A smile ghosted his lips. "Impressive witchery. A dangerous quality possessed by only the rarest of whores."

"Your son's a bitch," Yegor huffed.

"Silence, boy," Fabio commanded.

"Where is Trigger?" I managed to whisper, praying to all that was divine and holy that he was somewhere close by.

"Working off your debt," Fabio mused.

"M-my d-debt?"

"You broke my rules," he explained. "Such betrayal does not go unpunished – or come without a high cost. So, your favorite bastard is currently working his hardest to keep me appeased in order to keep you alive." Fabio chuckled. "Although, I doubt even his best efforts will manage that. Not when you have a defiant streak in your soul just like your father had." Fabio laughed softly. "It will get my son killed trying to keep you alive."

"Please d-don’t hurt him," I blurted and then quickly regretted my words. "Please," I decided to keep going, knowing that the damage was already done. I had spoken out of turn. I was damned either way. "Don't p-punish Trigger for m-my mistake."

"The lamb still loves her wolf," Fabio mused. "After all he did to you. Abandoning you. Humiliating you. Defiling your body. Caging you. Yet, you are still loyal to him." He tilted his head to one side. "Impressively devoted."

I flinched at his words, feeling conflicted, his words hitting me deep.

"Ah, just string her up and let me fuck her already," Yegor barked and then let out a furious snarl as he released inside the girl.

Motionless, she hung limply from her suspension.

They'd done it.

They'd broken her mind.

She wasn't here anymore.

I wished I could call her back and ask her to take me with her.

I watched as one of Fabio's men untied her.

She collapsed in a heap on the floor beside me, unmoving.

She wasn’t dead.

She was just…gone.

"Someone needs to be punished," Fabio said, dragging my attention back to him. "My son took it upon himself to bear responsibility for your reckless actions, and I reluctantly agreed. You were placed with the whores for a reason – to give my son the opportunity to pay off your debt. You were not raped down there. You were fed and watered. All you had to do was wait, but you are a spoiled and willful whore. My son indulged you, he has always treated you too kindly, and you decided to break my rules again. That's twice. There are no second chances in my world, little Ashton," he continued to taunt me. "It will cost you." He smirked. "But it will cost him much more –"

"Don’t hurt him," I squeezed out, feeling faint at the thought. "Please."

"Then who should I hurt? Who should I punish for your behavior?" he asked softly. "Hmm?"

I flinched, stomach heaving. "Oh god."

"You?" he coaxed. "Or him? The choice is entirely yours."

"Not him," I choked out, tears filling my eyes. "I fucked up, not him."

"Then get to your feet, little Ashton," Fabio said and his tone left no room for bargaining. "Show me how much you love your wolf."

I couldn’t.

My body was paralyzed with fear.
