“You mean the consequences of killing a djinn…”

“Yes. The cost is…” She hesitated, and I couldn’t deny I waited with bated breath for her next words…

The weight ofJanaina’s words lingered in my mind.

The price to pay… well, obviously, it wasn’t going to be a fucking walk in the park, but I did hope it wouldn’t come to this shit.

Well, I’ll deal with that when the time comes. But for now, how the fuck do I find six hundred and sixty-six fucking virgins?Do I go round asking all the damn teens in the pack? Nah, I’ll come off like a fucking creep.This was fucking messed up.

I took a drag on the cigarette as I walked out of headquarters, spotting Leo leaning against the wall as two young she-wolves talked to him. He didn’t seem to mind the attention, although he wasn’t giving them his full attention, but I guess girls loved bad boys.

What are the chances he was a virgin? I could ask him, though, wouldn’t be too fucking odd. Right?

The girls saw me approaching and, bowing their heads, left quickly. Pups…

“So, are you a virgin?” The girls gasped from behind me as I looked at Leo, waiting for a reply. He gave me a withering glare, clearly pissed that I asked that. Shame, I didn’t really fucking care. That got his attention, glancing at me sharply and raising an eyebrow.

“Do I look like a virgin to you?” He asked coldly.

“Don’t know, you might be all talk or some shit. Putting on a bad boy front or something.” He looked at me as if I had grown an extra fucking head, and I didn’t fucking blame him. The conversation was weird as fuck.

“Although it’s none of your damn business, no, I’m not a virgin, but at least now I know that you were at my age.”

“I sure as fuck wasn’t.”

“Really? You seem to have been the most insecure dipshit around. Full of self-loathing?” He mocked. Fucker.

“Not that my sex life is your business-” He scoffed.

“But mine is yours? Ah, yeah, the double standards, right?” I sighed. Why did he have to do this every fucking time?

“No, actually it’s regarding the situation.” I glanced around, making sure we were actually alone this time. I wasn’t going to let him just carry on with that assumption. “I need the blood of six hundred and sixty-six virgins who have hit puberty to defeat the fucker.” Leo raised an eyebrow, before snickering.

“That’s fucking crazy. Where will you find that shit? I mean, if it was just blood, you could have gone around and taken it from all the pups. But resorting to asking an almost eighteen-year-old? Yeah, you won’t have any luck.”

“I know, but I still wanted to try my luck. I had hope that one Rossi had kept it in his pants,” I grumbled. This was going to be fucking hard.

“Well, do what you’re best at, commanding others. Use your Alpha command on your pack to have all virgins step forward.” Not waiting for a reply, he walked off.

I frowned. I knew he meant it in a mocking way, but if done properly, I could use the command to make sure that they were indeed virgins… or I could ask Raihana for help. That might actually work.

I guess I needed to hit the archives and see if I could find anything about the history of when the Black Storm pack was formed. Rafael had given me most of the archives, along with old history books and stuff. I had just stored them. If not here, then the ones that remained at Black Storm, may have something.

Much later, Iwas in the archive vault. Lola, Rayhan’s Beta, was searching the archives over at his pack, but, so far, neither of us had found shit.

The sound of heels reached my ears. I didn’t need to turn or smell who it was to know it was my nympho. Her scent was strongly mixed with mine thanks to the intense night of sex. I turned as she knocked on the open door.

“Hey.” She smiled, her cheeks flushed a gorgeous pink.

“Hey.”

She was dressed in a long-sleeved fitted black dress and sheer black tights. I knew it was to hide the mess I had made. Her hair was left open, and she was wearing make-up. On her feet, she wore red heels that matched the red on her lips.

“Can I come in?”

“You don’t need to ask for permission, Amore Mio.” She smiled and walked over, holding out the large mug of coffee.

“I thought you might want a drink?” She offered with a pout, her heart racing as she looked away from my intense gaze. I smirked.
