“They tried to take everything frombut they did not get it! My dignity will always be in tact!” “Cassie, your BLOOD!” | bellowed dangerously, forcing her to bow her head.
Her neck twitched as | watched you submit, even though she tried to resist. “Yes, they took my blood for awhile but stopped.” “When did they stop?” Alpha Carson asked.
“Alpha Colt, there wasn’t a single t| could look at a calender. Everything blended together. There isn't a concept of twhen you are chained to a wall, naked and starved. At first, you try to count but then you go by seasons. How many cold times did | think | was finally going to succumb to it? Eventually, you even lose tract of season and just pay one of the days it will eventually take you out.” Cassie just looked atlike | was stupid.
Even after commanding her, she couldn't answer me. “Did you ever hear anything about experiments?” | kept my command around her.
“No. | started to draw pictures in the dirt when | got bored.” Cassie smiled at the memory. “Did you know that | used to draw all the twhen | was younger? Colored pensils and something even oils!” She looked around the room, smiling at the men.
They gave the sexpression, sympathy with a little bit of annoyance sprinkled in. Part ofthought | might be able to get a little something out of her but | would have to control my anger and ask the perfect questions.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPenny POV “If I knew it was going to be this easy to take blood, | would have known to make all the females get an epidural.” Vin was standing by the foot of my bed as the doctor filled a bag full of my precious blood.
“It’s astonishing how little you respect the lives of women.” Folding my arms over my chest, | couldn't do anything but watch them do whatever they wanted to my legs. Apparently, | had a great vein in my leg that made it very easy to use.
“After | finish making this round of potion, | have already collected enough humans that we will be able to set up an attack on your stolen pack lands!” Vin narrowed his eyes atand gavean evil smirk.
My jaw dropped. After being kidnapped, | assumed the security would be incredibly strong. However, | thought it already was from when | was kidnapped. “Speaking of which, how did you kidnap me?” “Shit...” Vin rolled his eyes as he looked at the doctor mess with the almost full bag.
“Was it not your idea? Is that why you can’t tell me?” | hoped by gloating that it would entice him to tell me.
Vin didn’t answer but took three steps over toand backhandedso quickly that | wasn’t prepared for it.
My head snapped so hard to the left that it cracked more that | thought it should.
| was so stunned. Not once had | been hit before. Tears automatically filled my eyes as | felt the blood run down my chin. Anger and embarrassment filledas | tried to gather myself before looking at him.
“Watch your mouth, woman. The only reason you haven't been harmed yet was because of these babies. Once they are born, they can’t save you. You will never see them again after | cut them from you.” “Vin. You have so much to learn about treating people with respect.” A new male voice entered the room. | was vaguely aware of the doctor putting a piece of tape on my leg after pulling the needle out.
“Uncle, sh...” “I don’t care. She is a heavily pregnant women who is completely incapable of moving. Does it make you feel like a man to strike someone like that?” My brain registered two things. One, this was Vin’s uncle and therefore not someone that was going to help me.
Second, this must be the man that Colt met with. | had overheard Colt tell the men that he has morals... even if he was a criminal.
“What are you doing here?” Vin asked with a clear attitude.
“Here.” Something tickled the back of my hand. Peaking through my wet eyelashes, | saw a white handkerchief dangling in front of me.
“Thank you.” My hand shook as | took the handkerchief and cleaned off my lip.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Do you know who | am?” He asked, softly.
Finding the courage, | was able to turn toward him. “No.” | said as | looked at the man in front of me. Swould say he was handsbut his eyes were just as dark as Vin's.
“I am Sir Joe Gambino. | am the head of the Italian Mafia and uncle to Vin. | also had a meeting with your mate about you.” “Yes. He declared war because you want to take my blood forcefully.” My voice was shaking even though I tried sounding strong.
This must have amused him because he raised an eyebrow atand almost smiled. “Correct. | did offer a middle ground but he was unwilling.” I didn’t know that but then again, Colt wouldn't have agreed to anything that didn’t mean complete safety.
“Colt will cfor me.” “Yes. Yes, he will.” Sir Joe nodded in agreement.
“He has to find us first.” Vin laughed.
Sir Joe sighed and fought hard to not roll his eyes. “You have little faith in our enemy.” “Why do you?” Vin retorted.
“I'm sorry, where is your alpha?” The words were out of my mouth before they even registered in my mind.
My hand jerked as | wanted to cover my mouth in shock but | forced myself to keep my head held high.
Sir Joe tossed his head back and laughed as Vin had steam coming from his ears. He resembled a toddler with his hands in balls. His elbows were locked and his shoulders were slightly raised. The whole thing | found funny to even look at.
