“Please,” he sobs as I tilt his head to the side.
“Fine,” Nico says, finally catching on to what I’m doing. “I won’t let her turn you, but I want something in return.”
“Anything!” The man grabs the opportunity with both hands and I can’t help but smile in triumph. “I’ll do whatever you want.”
“You’re going to give me the passwords to the laptops we collected from the compound. You’re going to unlock the cell phone you had when we took you, and you’re going to answer any questions we have. You can and you will,” Nico says firmly before an argument can be voiced. “Or I will give you to the female. She suffered immensely and deserves a reward.”
He smiles darkly at the man and I know we will get everything we need from him.

Nico
Three hours later, I lead my mate inside my home for the first time. This will become our home once I grovel enough for her to forgive me. I want to take her to bed and fuck her until she forgives me, but I’ve seen a different side of her in the past few hours and I know that won’t work. So, I lead her into the kitchen.
“Want some coffee?” I ask, not knowing what else to say.
“Do you have anything stronger? I feel like I need it.”
“Beer?”
“It’ll have to do, I suppose.”
I hand her one and take another for myself. In the silence, we stare at one another, not quite sure where to go from here.
“I’m sorry I lied to you,” I say. “I thought I was protecting you. And I swear I never for one moment wanted to trap you into a mating. I was going to tell you today before I got carried away.”
“I know,” she says with a smile. “I may have overreacted a little.”
“A little?” I chuckle.
“Bite me, Nico,” she jokes. “You would have felt the same way.”
“Oh, baby, I am more than happy to bite you.”
The atmosphere in the room shifts, turning slightly feral. Placing my beer on the counter, I stalk toward my mate. Her breathing accelerates as I stare down at her.
“Are we done fighting?” I murmur, my lips almost touching hers.
“I’m not sure,” she whispers. “Aren’t you supposed to make up for being a jerk?”
I grin at her before throwing her over my shoulder. Smacking her ass, I take the stairs two at a time. Emmaleigh giggles.
“I’ll make it up to you. All night long.”

Six Months Later
Number Two, yes, I still don’t know his name because I don’t care, came through on his promises. He is still being held in the compound but Caine has made some improvements to his life. He now lives in a bunker where he has free reign of his own cell, no longer bound to a chair or living under a hundred bright lights.
In return for his safety and not being changed—what a fucking joke—he has supplied us with anything and everything we’ve asked for.
Already we’ve taken out two more compounds and saved nine more people. I stare at the red brick building—another fucking farmhouse—waiting for the go-ahead. In the beginning, Nico was apprehensive about having me join them on the raids. But Max and Godrick have been training me and Thomas and I have become somewhat instrumental in these raids.
Taking down these bastards is our way of reclaiming what was taken from us. Getting a little revenge.
