His face pales and he groans, his head rolling back and bumping against the bark of the tree, before it sinks forward. I hold my breath for a moment, almost afraid that I went too far too soon. Then, his chest rises slowly, and falls. Rises and falls. I exhale in relief. He is not dead yet.
Snake gives me a questioning glance as he holds the end of the rope near Thor’s arm.
I slap Thor’s face hard with my free hand, and he wakes back up with a pained groan.
“He is alive. Do not worry.”
Snake hisses to let me know he is waiting for me to move so he can wrap the rope around the wrist of Thor’s broken hand. A shard of bright white bone juts out of his skin, surrounded by crimson.
Snake is careful as he secures the rope tightly around his wrist.
Thor stares at me, and I can tell there are vicious thoughts inside his head.
I imagine there are many nasty things he would like to do to me, and my brothers.
He will not get the chance to act on those thoughts.
“You will regret this,” he growls at me.
“I can assure you, we will not,” I tell him.
“My brothers will make you regret it.”
“Well, I do not mean to lower the tone of this moment with a pissing contest, but my brothers are much bigger and stronger than yours, and they are killing your brothers right now.”
Snake hisses, turning his head to the side and nodding before hissing some more.
“You’re kidding. You can tell?”
He nods and I shake my head.
Thor is staring at me with narrowed eyes when I look back at him.
“Two of your brothers are already dead,” I confess. “The one that looked like you, and Apollo.”
Apparently, Snake felt it when those two were gone.
I’ll have to ask him to explain that to me fully later.
Right now, we have more important things to think about.
Like which piece to cut off of Thor first.
“No!” Thor blurts. “They can’t be dead. We’re Alphas …”
“No.Weare Alphas. You were playacting as Alphas. There is a big difference.” I move in closer. “You obeyed me when I commanded you. In what world can one Alpha be commanded by another? We are not equals. We are not even close.”
Snake hisses emphatically as I step back.
I take the knife out of my pouch and pass it to my brother.
I have had my fun with Thor. It is time to give Snake his chance.
He takes the knife from me and issues a soft, questioning hiss of surprise.
I nod at him, and he takes it, hissing out his plans enthusiastically.
I can’t help but smile as I look back at Thor.
