Quickly scanning through my emails to pass the time, I impatiently look at the time on my phone, anticipation rolling through me.

Bryan opens the door, stepping inside my office.

“Savannah is at Max and Irelynn’s house with Darin and Vanessa. They’re having a movie night.”

I glance up at him. “Does Savannah know what we’re doing tonight?”

“Nope. Everleigh told me it would be better for her if she didn’t.” His lips twitch. “Before I drove Savannah to Max and Irelynn’s house, Savannah asked Everleigh if she was sure she didn’t want to join them.” He chuckles, shaking his head. “Everleigh said, ‘Hell no. I’m gonna fuck my man, making up for lost time. Have fun with the gang tonight.’ Savannah’s face was as red as the blood that will be spilled tonight. Hell, I think I may have blushed from Everleigh’s words.”

Laughing, I shake my head. “That’s my woman. She says what she’s thinking.” Growing serious, I say, “Everleigh’s right. It’s better Savannah doesn’t know.”

“I heard my name.” Everleigh steps inside the door, a smile on her red lips. My mouth drops open, my gaze drinking in her appearance.

Clad in a low-cut red top that bares ample cleavage, black leather pants, and what I’m sure are Louboutin heels on her feet, she looks fucking incredible. As she shuts the door behind her and turns, her chestnut locks hang around her face in big, bouncy curls.

I’m fucking mesmerized as she saunters across the room, completely commanding it.

She stops in front of me, one hand on her hip. I hold up one finger and make a twirling gesture. Her eyes glimmer before she slowly spins around, letting me get a good look at her ass in her tight pants before facing me.

Goddamn, she’s fucking fierce.

A smirk pulls up my lips as I move closer, my hands grabbing her hips. “Hello, Eve.”

She smirks back at me. “Hello, William. Ready to have some fun tonight?” Her tongue slips out, slowly rolling over her crimson lips.

Fuck.

I drink her in, our eyes locking.

The demon inside her snaps its jaws, the hunger palpable, revealing her thirst for retribution.

Colin took something from her, and tonight, she’s going to take it back.

I can’t fucking wait to see her in action.

Colin’s screams fill the air of the small cabin, tears streaming down his face, blending in with the snot and blood dripping from his chin. He squeezes his eyes closed, his face scrunched up from the pain coursing through his body.

I grab the pair of dull, rusted pliers from Bryan’s outstretched hand, a humorless smile pulling my lips up.

I’m in my element, euphoria mixing with the adrenaline flowing through my veins, making me feel high.

Powerful.

Untouchable.

When Colin’s eyes open, I’m standing in front of him, my stance wide, a smirk on my face. “Come on, Colin. Admit that you missed me since our previous encounter. You know, the one where I kicked your ass until you lost consciousness.”

He grunts, spitting a mouthful of blood on the floor. The dumbass gets it all over his feet, probably because he’s having trouble seeing out of his swollen eyes. He jerks, trying to kick me, but his ankles are bound by heavy chains. He screams as they dig and cut into his skin.

He better get used to it. He’s going to feel a hell of a lot more pain before the night is over.

Colin’s body tenses, shaking like a leaf, as I hold the rusty pliers close to his face, letting him take a good, long look, smelling the rust that coats the jaws before I pull them away. I slowly walk behind him, enjoying how his body trembles, causing the chair he’s sitting on to shake, the wood scratching against the dirty, uneven floor.

“Please, William.” His voice is low and strained, sweat coating his exposed skin and running down his torso. “Have mercy on me.” His head lowers as tears run down his face, glimmering beneath the fluorescent light overhead.

I smirk at him, but inwardly, the rage courses inside me. The beast rattles behind my ribcage, shaking them like the bars of a jail cell, rage giving me tunnel vision as memories of Everleigh pleading with him, begging him to stop, wash over me.

Reaching down, I grab a fistful of his hair, snapping his head back so he can see my face. The darkness washes over me, taking control, giving me increased strength, and blocking my pain receptors as I yank on his hair so hard I pull some of it out.
