I shook my head. “No. What about Rael?”
He rolled his shoulders. “No. Kid has me worried.”
Shadow proved he could handle shit better than any prospect we had in a long time. He was smart and deadly even before he took the Devil’s Ride. I wasn’t worried about him at all. “He’ll come around. He’s working through a lot of shit, pres. I know that burden.”
Grim understood. “I feel you.”
“Angel still asleep?”
“Yep. Took everything out of him when he helped Naomi.”
“I owe him my thanks.”
“How is she?”
“Resting. Nylah is in with her.”
“I told Toad not to move his ass from that doorway.”
A laugh tumbled from my lips. “He’s listening.”
Ghoul and Wily were taking their turn on Jones next. His fingernails were yanked away one by one followed by some of his teeth. The two brothers seemed to play off one another and enjoyed the tormented screams that Jones couldn’t hold back.
Scorn stepped up with Drake. Both held blades in their hands and I nearly cringed.
This was gonna hurt. I couldn’t wait to taste Jones’ fear.
Sadistic smiles of pleasure crossed both faces as Jones was sliced, gouged, and marked for death. His howls of agony were music to my ears. Drake slid the tip of both blades up and over Jones’ cheekbones, smiling when he saw the thin streaks of blood left behind that began to slowly drip downward. Each cheek was carved with the letter R for rapist.
Scorn stepped in as Drake set the blades aside and held Jones’ head back by the roots of his hair. "Shhh. Shhh. Hurts like fuck at first but you'll get used to the pain." The knife gleamed in the low lighting until it plunged into our prisoner’s thigh, jabbing into the thick meat down deep, and Scorn twisted the blade. He let out a guttural groan of pleasure as Drake adjusted his dick with his other hand and flashed a wicked smile.
Sick bastards.
Jones continued to wail as the knife stayed lodged in place.
Grim was silent so long I nearly forgot he was still standing next to me. He wasn’t fazed by the carnage. “I told Naomi but I’m telling you too. Gave each of those girls we found at the warehouse a choice. They could go wherever they wanted. Rael took a couple to the hospital. Mammoth dropped half of them at the police station and that shit is gonna be all over the news.” A dark chuckle left his lips. “Hope that pisses off Resnikov.”

“It will.”
“Rattler is still a wildcard. Never saw him or Resnikov. Got to be more to their plan than we saw.”
“I think you’re right.”
“How did Mimi take the news about Desi?”
“She’s sad. It broke her heart. None of the girls we rescued were Katya. She’s still out there somewhere and Mimi is worried.”
“There’s no way to find her unless Xenon has some kind of magic trick I don’t know about.”
“We’ll just have to wait and see.”
The last of my brothers took their hits and then everyone backed off, leaving me with my prey. My Reaper hissed with anticipation as I closed in, stalking forward as I cracked my knuckles.
“You’re nothing. Worthless biker trash.” His words slurred and I was surprised he could still speak. Every part of his body was bruised, bleeding, and swollen. Nothing he said mattered anyway. I didn’t bother to reply.
Closing my eyes, I let my Reaper’s power surface, sensing two of Jones’ biggest fears. One, spiders. Two, fire.
