‘Yes, we have a few.’
'Find out if Levi has a family. That might speed things up.’
‘Yes, Alpha,’he said, stepping out of the dungeon. Danny took his place in the cell without needing to be told.
I started small, with a couple of fingernails and some broken fingers. I was mostly biding my time until Gillian had the information I needed to take things to the next level.
“You will tell me who hired you. Who is in charge of your trafficking ring?” we said as we punched him in the gut, blood splashing on our face as he coughed up blood.
“I’m not telling you shit.”
“Wrong answer,” I said as I broke a rib with another punch.
“Who is organizing the trafficking of the young she-wolves?”
“We don’t traffic she-wolves. We simply up-cycle trash. It’s environmentally friendly,” he smirked. I grabbed the garden shears and cut one of his pinkies down to the first knuckle. His screams filled the dungeons after I removed the nub completely.
‘Alpha, he has a mate and a child. I also asked about Lucas. He doesn’t have a mate, no parents, only some distant cousin from another pack,‘Gillian said through the mind link as he made his way back into the dungeons.
‘Any chance you got some names?’
’Yep,’he answered cheerfully. ‘Alice and little Marissa. No name on the cousin, but I believe Celeste already provided that for us.’
“Who is organizing your operation? If you make me ask again, you will regret it,” Atlas and I said together before jabbing a silver knife deep into his leg. He was panting after his screams died down. But he still had enough will to glare at us as we went over to the table again. I turned to face him, waiting for a response.
“That cunt of a luna you have will never be safe again.” He spat blood at my feet. I sighed, despite the anger his words made me feel and turned to Gillian instead.
“I guess we’ll need to ask little Marissa when she gets here. How far away are they?”
“YOU’RE FUCKING LYING!” Levi yelled, panic filling his face.
“I’m not usually one to make empty threats. You come into my land, kill a pack member and threaten my mate. My luna. Did you think the consequences of that were just going to end with you? Alpha Charles was more than willing to hand them over as long as we didn’t declare war on his pack. He knows better than to get in the way of an alpha when his mate is threatened. If I don’t get answers from you, I will get them from Lucas. If he talks before you do, I will give him a quick death. Your mate and your child won’t be given that mercy.” I turned and walked out of the cell.
“Wait! Wait a damn minute!” he yelled after me and I smirked.
“Oh no, no, I spent an hour trying to get you to talk to me. Now Lucas gets a turn. You better hope he doesn’t talk. Then maybe we can have another conversation when I’m done with him and discuss just how much you want your child to live.” I nodded to Danny, who gagged the man while I walked into Lucas’ cell. He was already strapped on the chair. The stump on his left arm was now bleeding profusely again. Someone had struggled.
“I am not telling you anything,” he snarled weakly.
“Oh? But you’ve already told us so much. We just need a few more things,” I said as I unwrapped the bloody gauze. “We know you talked to your cousin just before you killed Ruby. Tell me, what‘s your cousin’s name?” I asked as I pushed two fingers into the slowly closing wound. He screamed as he tried to yank his stump away from me. I punched him in the jaw to shut him up and felt it crack under my knuckles. Blood oozed from his mouth as he slumped forward, passing out.
Shit, maybe I put too much force into the punch,Atlas said in my head.
No, I think he just lost too much blood,I responded.
“Wake him,” I instructed Danny, who went in and slapped Lucas. When Lucas didn’t wake, he put on a glove and grabbed the wolfsbane-infused water. I thought he would throw it at his face, but he had another idea. He poured it into a bowl and dipped the stump in it. An agonizing scream erupted from Lucas as the pain brought him back to the land of the living.
“I’ll ask again. Who is your cousin?” I questioned, coming back into the cell and putting on gloves. It was time to get to business.
“They are going to destroy you and your pack once they get their hands on your precious luna,” he wheezed, letting out a weak cackle. “You have no idea who wants her.”
“You will tell me what you know, and then you will beg for us to kill you,” I snarled before I strapped a tourniquet to his leg, cutting off the blood flow. I grabbed a syringe full of silver nitrate and stabbed his leg with it. If the liquid silver reached his heart, he was dead, but until I undid his tourniquet, the silver nitrate would course through his leg, making it feel like it was burning from the inside out. He would beg me to cut it off soon enough.
“Alright. I guess it’s your lucky night, Levi. It might be a while before he gets used to the liquid silver in his leg. Let’s have another chat, shall we? Gillian put a gag on Lucas. He’s getting a little loud.” I nodded at my beta while my gamma removed the gag from Levi.
I came back into the cell, seeing the hatred in his eyes. Too bad it didn’t come close to my hatred for him or my need to protect my mate.
“Let’s chat, shall we?” I said, picking up the second syringe of silver nitrate and turning around. “Or you can scream like your buddy there and I can ask your mate and pup.”
