“Now open your pretty little mouth, girl …” he says, zipping down.

“NO!” Beast roars from his seat.

Everyone watches Beast as he raises his head, grinding his teeth so hard they might break. “Touch her, and you die.”

Lex begins to laugh. “I’m already dying. But go ahead and try.”

Beast growls in pain as he tears away at the chains by simply flexing his muscles.

The guards behind him try to hold him back but to no avail. He chucks them aside with ease, throwing the chair along with it, crushing one of them.

“LEAVE. HER. ALONE!” His roars sound like an animal as he breaks the last piece of metal holding him back.

Lex merely smirks and pulls the same tiny box from his pocket, pressing the button.

Beast instantly collapses onto the wooden floor, writhing in pain.

“Please, stop,” I beg. “Don’t do this to him, please! I’ll do what you want.”

“No, girl. This dog needs to learn his place first,” Lex growls, taking pleasure in seeing Beast writhe in pain.

He’s beyond cruel, and I don’t know what else to do.

Without thinking, I lunge forward and press the other button, releasing Beast from his agony.

“You bitch, let go!” Lex smacks me hard.

Stars fill my eyes as I flop back onto the couch.

Beast’s howl fills the room as he charges at Lex. “Shoot him!”

BANG! BANG!

Gunshots fill the room.

Everything happens too fast for me to register.

Beast suddenly scoops me off the couch and runs toward the only exit in the room that’s unguarded; the window.

“No, you fucking won’t!” Lex growls, and I can feel him press the button because the electrical current also goes through me.

The pain is so intense I nearly vomit, and Beast almost drops me. Near the floor, he groans in pain, suffering but still refusing to let go. Instead of giving up, he pushes himself up, despite the electricity roasting him alive. And with every last inch of strength he has, he storms at the window with me in his arms, turning around just in time so he can smash it with his back.

CRASH!

The sound of glass fragments falling to the floor fills my ears as we burst through the window and into a bush.

The electrical current stops immediately, but I can barely stand from the pain, let alone look around.

Arms wrap around my naked waist and pull me out of the bush, but I can only focus on those mesmerizing emerald eyes. The eyes of a beast carrying me away from the real monsters.

CHAPTER11

Beast

I boltto the nearest car with Aurora in my arms and open the door by kicking it with pure force. The key is still inside the ignition. Those fuckers didn’t even bother locking it after bringing her back to the mansion. They were far too busy pleasing their fucking boss to even notice they screwed up.

BANG!
