“I’m assuming you beasts don’t get sick?” I tried to smile, but my head just felt awful.
“No, we don't, the only sickness we’ve had to endure is the one before I was born. Took out a lot of us but we don’t have to deal with trivial things.”
I laughed, wincing again when my body felt just as bad.
“You cheeky fucker.” I cupped his face. “I’m fine, nothing a little elderberry, marshmallow root and some rest won't fix.”
“I’ll let you rest for a bit before I come back with some tea. How does soup sound?” He brushed back my hair on my forehead.
“Wonderful, I love you,” I said, closing my eyes.
“I’m always here to serve, my love.” He kissed my cheek and I fell back to sleep.

“Hurry up,”someone whispered angrily.
“We don’t have much time, the blond is going to come back and then we are screwed.”
What the hell? They smelled different than the guys. I tried to open my eyes, fear giving me a surge of adrenaline.
“Did you find it?”
I slowly peeked out of my eyes when I saw the one person I would hate to see more than my dad and Caston.
It was Caston’s best friend, Clodius.
If I thought Caston was an asshole, he had nothing on his friend. He was a psychopath with powers that let him get away with it. He controlled electricity and his torture sessions were infamous.
He was unhinged and the few times I had met him, I never once left Caston’s side. He was the devil in sheep’s clothing. Together he and Caston would wreak havoc on people from their coven. They were the people you called to make someone disappear, get answers or conduct a public assassination. But now that Caston was a Belladonna, he didn’t work anymore unless Clodius needed his help, which was pretty often.
Together they were two sides of the same coin. Caston was the charismatic people person, and Clodius was the ruthless killer that gave no shits. It was also one of the reasons I put up with Caston. He threatened to have Clodius play with me and worse, he had threatened Serena.
My heart started to race as I saw him tear my room apart.
“I saw it here yesterday,” he growled, making my body erupt in chills. “I should have taken it yesterday while they were fucking her in the library. I told Caston she was a whore. Fucking in the woods like there isn’t someone watching them. ”
How long had he’d been watching us?
Anger burned through me that he thought I was a whore when his friend had fucked half the women in town. As much as I wanted to light the room on fire there was too much information in here for me to do that. I had to wait until we were out in the open.
“I’m leaving.” The man close to me picked me up, throwing me over his shoulder.
He turned to leave when a sharp pain coursed through my body making him fall on his knees and I couldn’t help the cry that escaped. The pain instantly stopped. My body felt tingly, and everything was even more blurry.
“Ah, little Kitty Kat is awake. I guess the dose of tea wasn’t enough.” Clodius walked up to me tilting my head up with his finger. “I was always jealous that Caston ended up winning you. I think we could have had a lot of fun. A little virgin like you would have kept me entertained.”
I shivered at the thought that I could have been his. My mind couldn’t even fathom that possibility, but this would be the only time I would be grateful that Caston’s family had outbid everyone else.
“I would have been grateful for no kids plus who wants to rule over a family that is losing their magic. Your family is pathetic.”
He gripped my chin before he crashed his lips against me. I struggled back but the other guy’s hold on me was firm.
He zapped me with electricity and made me gasp before he shoved his tongue into my mouth. Bile rose in my throat, and I snapped. I reached for him, igniting my hand full of fire, grabbing a handful of hair. Lighting my other hand on fire, I touched the guy’s pants, lighting them.
The other guy yelled, dropping me as they both tried to put out their fire. Trying to get up was extremely hard. My limbs felt like lead, my mind was foggy and the only thing I could do was crawl away. I made it to the door, when my hair was pulled, turning me around. Clodius punched me, I couldn’t even move to defend myself.
“Damn kitten, you have claws.” The amusement in his voice made me shiver, like this was all just entertainment for him.
