“For my family, if it comes to it, then yeah, I’m ready. The fucking question is, are you ready to be sent back to the fucking pits of hell?” I asked coldly. “Or better yet, for me to destroy you into fucking oblivion.”

“It’s not easy to get rid of me, let alone kill me.”

“Yet you are bound. If you really were as fucking powerful as you act, you would have come here. You would be able to take Dante, but you can’t. I’m not sure why, but you aren’t as fucking powerful as you like to pretend,” I hissed. The urge to rip him apart consumed me, and I couldn’t wait for the fucking day we ended him.

I had hit a nerve. A look of pure hatred and evil crossed Kiara’s face, an expression I had never seen on her face. Ever. Even when angry, there was no evil within her.I will fix this. I’ll destroy him. Just hold on, beautiful.Even if she was pushed to the corner of her mind, I would save her from it.

“You don’t know what you are talking about.”

“Oh, I fucking do, and the fact that you are getting pissed off just means I hit the fucking nail on the head. What the fuck do you want with Dante?” A smirk twisted on her face. She looked at me with contempt but didn’t answer.

Well, fine. Two can play this shit.I was not going to let it rile me up.

“The next time we talk… it’s going to be face-to-face. Not when you are using my woman to hide behind like the fucking coward you are,” I growled threateningly.

“Let’s hope I don’t kill her down here. After all… I will have no use for her if she’s in the cells.”

That was it.

“Fuck you.”

Her eyes flashed purple. I saw her struggle to take control as the Djinn tried to rip free from my hold, elongating her claws and pulling one hand free. My stomach twisted as I realised he was aiming for her heart.Not on my fucking watch.

I growled, slamming her hand back against the wall, my aura rolling off me.

“Tie me,” Kiara groaned as she struggled.

The red from her chest injury was beginning to coat her top once again. She wasn’t healed as it was. She needed to stay calm. I didn’t argue, pulling her to the middle of her room as she struggled against me. It would be a fucking lie if I denied that she was fucking making it hard for me. I could taste blood in my mouth again. I was still weak. I heard Darien enter the cells, but I didn’t spare him a glance. I managed to clamp her wrist into the cuffs, slamming them shut as she tried to bite into my wrist once more, the clang echoing through the empty cell.

“I will kill you!” She growled as I pulled the chains tight so her arms were spread wide and there was no risk left of her harming herself.

“I’ll look forward to it,” I replied, tightening the chains at her ankles so her legs were slightly apart. “No one is hurting what belongs to me.”

She struggled, pulling at the chains, and I knew that they would fucking weaken her. Maybe keeping her unconscious might be better. I’d talk to Callum. With those final words, I tore the lower half off her top and took hold of her chin.

“I’m going to put an end to this shit, I fucking promise you, Amore Mio,” I said quietly, kissing her plush lips softly. I hoped that, deep inside, she could feel my emotions as I let the barrier down between us. Her eyes softened, and for a moment, she kissed me back before I moved away. “I’m going to tie your mouth in case he tries to get you to bite your tongue off,” I said quietly, placing the torn shirt between her plump lips. She nodded slowly as she fought back her tears.

Be brave, my queen.

I tied her mouth, inhaling the scent of her sandy brown hair. The scent of her shampoo mixed with her own intoxicating scent was soothing, and, leaning in, I planted a soft kiss on her forehead.

Keep strong, keep fighting.

She nodded.

I love you,she replied softly.

Love you more than life itself.I caressed her cheek before I stepped away, putting my walls back up.

I was fucking breaking inside, but I wouldn’t show her that because no matter what, I would fucking save her.

Turning, I left the cell and locked the door after me. I didn’t look back. I wouldn’t be able to leave her if I did. I would stay down there by her side if I could… but I needed to lead our army and destroy this bastard. It took every inch of my willpower not to turn and break her out. Seeing her in that state… having to do that to her… it was so fucking painful that I was finding it hard to breathe.

Wait for me, because it’s high fucking time I unleashed hell and showed this bastard that no one messeswith Alejandro Rossi or his family.

Alejandro

“Al,” Darien calledme, but it was fucking hard to keep myself together when my woman was fucking chained up down beneath these very pack grounds.
