Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha
Chapter 137

“Lift him to his knees so I can see his face,” I ordered.

Samuel planted a booted foot against Dagger’s butt and gripped his shoulders from behind, jerking his upper body off the floor. He held him in place while I leaned down again to one knee so that Dagger and I were eye to eye. “Ready to be a good boy? How far you’re willing to go to secure your freedom this time?”

He whimpered and dropped his head.

I grabbed his jaw and squeezed, lifting his head at the same time. He whined at the force I was using. Letting my Wolf’s strength rise into the palm of my hand, I constricted my grip even tighter until the bones in his jaw snapped, dislocating it.

Dagger screamed but the sound gurgled off when I placed my other hand over his mouth. “Pay attention. I have some questions. Now, since you have no d**k, I know it wasn’t your c**k, so tell me which one of these wolves raped my mate.”

Sweat poured off of his body as saliva dripped out of his mouth. He tried to speak but wasn’t able to make any recognizable sound. Hmm…maybe I broke his jaw too soon. No matter. I would still get the answers I wanted.

Lifting to my feet, I turned to the waiting wolves. All of them stared at me with wide expressions.

“You heard me. Which ones of you indulged in the flesh of a shewolf who didn’t belong to you?”

All of them remained silent, their lips pressed together tightly.

I tilted my head to the side. “None of you?” Somehow I just knew that the wolf or wolves who violated Hycinth were not a part of the dead which meant they had to be sitting in front of me. But still, no answer from the group.

“Okay.” I turned toward Ever. “Cut all of their c***s off.”

“Wait! No!” more than one Wolf cried out.

Suddenly, they were more than willing to rat out the guilty parties because three Nightshade wolves pointed to the other two. “It was them! We didn’t touch her…not like that!”

All of the Diamonte wolves remained silent.

I glared at the two wolves in question and ordered, “Position them on the couch!”

Oliver and Ryan jerked their bodies off the floor. The threadbare couch sagged and creaked as Oliver and Ryan pushed them into a sitting position next to each other.

I studied their features. What kind of wolves raped and beat a pregnant female? Only the worst of the worst.

They stared defiantly up at me. Stupid, stupid wolves. Both of them were young and unmated, probably in their early-twenties. Probably Warriors.

Reaching into the utility bag, I pulled out a ten-inch blade. Twirling the weapon agilely between my fingertips, I turned to Luca. “Put Dagger on his knees in front of the first one.”

Dagger cried out when Luca and Samuel picked him up and dropped him in front of the ratty piece of furniture.

From the back of the room, Hycinth whimpered.

I snapped my head in her direction.

Eyes still shut tightly, Hycinth’s eyebrows wrinkled together. Her breath came fast and uneven. She shifted uneasily in Sydney’s grip.

Grace was quickly checking Hycinth’s IV and placed a hand on her forehead. She murmured through the mind link, “It’s been thirty minutes since her last dose. I’m going to give her a little more medicine. “The worry was palpable in her voice.

As I watched Grace administer additional medicine directly into Hycinth’s IV, I measured the amount of pain I felt coming through our bond. It was still way too high. Fury coursed through me all over again.

After a minute, Hycinth settled again in Sydney’s arms.

Staring at Hycinth, I was shocked when glimpses of her torture filtered through the bond into my mind! My heart raced. It hadn’t occurred to me that I might be able to actually see what happened to her. But it made sense. I’d been able to see into her past before.

Drawing in a deep breath, I focused on her memories- Hycinth hung in the basement, shackled to the ceiling. My eyelids fell shut, too heavy to bear the weight of what I was seeing. Horrible bloody image after image flash through my mind. With every punch and kick to her precious body, I flinched hard.

She fought them. With everything she had, even hanging defenseless, my little mate fought for herself and our pup. I wanted to cry. And then Dagger forced his vile fingers between her legs. Hycinth screamed. The hits kept coming. Her head fell forward. Somehow, I realized I was watching a moment that she was losing consciousness, but even though she was not aware, I could still see the details of what was happening to her!

The image continued to playback in my mind:

In the background, one of the males called out, “Boss, we got company!”

Dagger frowned and pulled a com device from his belt. Pushing the button, he growled, “Julian, what the f**k is happening out there?”

Static crackled as Julian replied, “Our cameras picked up a small group of wolves in the forest, but Leander isn’t with them. Must be a search party. I’m sending out five wolves now. We’ll slow down and kill as many as we can to thin the incoming forces. “

“Got it!” Dagger replied and released his finger from the com. He looked at Hycinth again and addressed his men, “Well boys, I’d hoped for more time, but we probably only have fifteen to twenty-five minutes, depending on Julian’s success. Which one of you wants to get started with her first?”

“Hell, yes! I’m ready.” One of the wolves began undoing his belt.

And then, I watched in horror as the bastard forced himself upon Hycinth. Hycinth’s screamed but her head never came up. Instead, it looked like she was completely unconscious.

Fire radiated through every molecule in my body. The image in my head blurred a little. Straining for control, I forced it back into sharp focus:

The first a*****e finished and a second Wolf began.
