“Bingo,” he growled.
“You’re Undertaker.” I didn’t have to ask.
“Yes.”
“You owe me,” I blurted, pushing off the wall and moving toward the sound of his voice. “I demand restitution.”
“You demand?” Laughter, albeit tinged with irritation, followed.
“Yes. It’s my right.”
A lightbulb flickered on, and I stood a few feet from iron bars, standing in a jail cell on a muddy floor. A beast of a man was across from me, staring through the bars.
I blinked, adjusting to the light as he reached out and gripped the iron barrier. Something about him was off. Not in the deranged, psychopath way, even if I could tell that was true. No, this was different.
“You sense it. Interesting.”
I shrugged. “I want retribution for my sister. I demand it,” I repeated.
His lips twitched as if he wanted to smile. “You don’t fear me.”
“What point would that make? I know you’re bigger and stronger and could kill me if you wanted. I’d be dead by now if that were your goal. So, no, I’m not afraid. I’m fucking pissed.”
He tilted back his head and howled with laughter, like an actual howl. It reminded me of a wolf. “You’re a good match for the crow. I see now why he mated you.”
That wasn’t important. “Bree was assaulted. Chronos raped her. He beat her.” My voice cracked. “I want justice!”
“He’s dead. There is no further blood to be spilled.”
“That’s not good enough.” I approached the bars, slamming my palm against them. “Crow got vindication. Not me. It’s not the same.”
“No,” he agreed, “it’s not.”
“Then you understand.”
“I do.”
Good.
“But I can’t grant it. Not yet.”
“Why?”
“Because you’re bait.”
Oh. Fuck.
Chapter 5
Present time—
“On your knees,” I growled, shoving on the slim shoulder of the nameless young woman in front of me. She was the third one I’d pulled into my room in the last hour. Frustration pulsed through my veins. The vargulf was agitated. He wanted to fuck. I wanted my mate.
My cock had hardened with the need for sex, but I couldn’t seem to complete the act. Me. The goddamn Alpha. Every time I tried to shove my erection into a warm, waiting hole, I pictured Sadie’s face. It felt like a betrayal.
Why the fuck was this happening!?
I’d fucked other women since we met. Hell, I shared a bed and fucked more than one while she masturbated next to me. We both got off at the same time. I’d cuddled with her afterward.
