Story: Feeding Frenzy
That pissed her off even more. Her hand settled on my thigh, and she squeezed it until the sharp nails ripped into my skin. My stomach turned over and my chest began to tighten. Sweat beaded at my temples. It hurt so much. I gritted my teeth, but I couldn’t contain my whimper.
Jax hissed, but the sound faded behind the ringing in my ears. Finally, she let up on the pressure. I gasped, watching her bring her blood painted fingertips to her lips, licking away my taste.
“Mmm.” She grinned, showing her bloody teeth. “If I didn’t want to hear your screams, I would just drain you,” she spoke conversationally as she hooked her finger into my shirt. She yanked and ripped it open, baring my lacy bra. A flush warmed my face.
Her eyes grazed over me with a sneer on her lips.
“I don’t get it. You’re nothing special.”
I struggled to swallow. How degrading.
“I will enjoy this.” She dug her nails into my skin. Searing pain burned my flesh.
I screamed.

I couldn’t stand this.My Kitten thrashed in agony and all I could do was watch. I tried to move my fingers where they rested on the arm rests, but it was no use.
I exerted all my energy tying to move. Still, I could not save her. I sucked in a breath.
Imogen propped herself on one arm, leaning over Cat’s bared stomach.
Blood trickled down her side, painting lines across her flesh. Her soft tan flesh that should be worshiped, not shredded.
Imogen carved into her skin, but from this angle, I couldn’t see what it was.
“Stop,” I croaked. Gritting my molars, I fought to stand, to morph, to twitch even, but there was no use. My body betrayed me, but I didn’t stop struggling to free myself. Her cries wouldn’t allow me to. Panting breaths left my mouth.
Imogen had locked me in the basement while I checked on Bastien. Meanwhile, she enacted this bullshit plan. It was all a fucking ruse. The metal door had almost succeeded in keeping me sequestered.
I’d torn through the door and was up here as quickly as I could, but I should have stopped before slamming inside. IfI had only taken a moment tothink, I could have called the others?—
Cat made me weak and desperate. More than I’d ever thought Icouldexperience.
I stared at a red droplet traveling down her side. I could do nothing. I was helpless.
My stomach pitched.
The echo of her screams remained in my ears, refusing to release me.
Watch her suffer, Jaxon, my love. And just know, you did this.Imogen projected her thoughts at me using her ability. Blood filled my mouth with how hard I bit the inside of my cheek.
I met Catalina’s damp eyes. She stared at me. Agony in their brown depths. I didn’t break eye contact.
“Please. Imogen.” The words felt ripped from my throat.
“Just for that, I will make you play. Jaxon, follow directions clearly.” Fuck. “I want you to grab her hand and break her fingers one by one. Nothing more, nothing less. Then you will sit back and watch her writhe.”
No.
“No.” Even as I said it, I leaned forward, reaching for Catalina’s hand. Hurting Catalina would destroy me. I didn’t want to do this.
She’d carvedwhoreinto her stomach. Deep enough that I could see the layer of fat. “No.” My voice was unrecognizable.
She tensed.
