Chapter 376
I stepped in closer, crouched beside him like I was trying to share a secret.
‘What part should I cut first? My lips hovered near his ear.
He actually leaned in… He actually whispered something.
I straightened up, nodding seriously like a waiter taking a customer’s order.
“Okay. Noted.”
I turned to my men without breaking stride.
“He wants us to start with his toes. Take off his shoes.”
Nagel and his flocks did what they wanted. It didn’t matter what Kasmine said or did. Now, I only saw and heard what I wanted. It doesn’t matter what they say or do.
My men peeled off Wes’s shoes like they were unwrapping a gift.
His toes twitched – stupid fucking reflex.
The bastard already knew what was coming, and still his body was trying to protect him. How cute.
I slowly crouched again, held his ankle down with one hand, and clicked the plier open with the other.
“You ever had a toe ripped off before?” I asked in an eerily calm voice.
He thrashed violently. The table rattled.
I smirked. “Don’t worry,” I murmured, my fingers wrapping tightly around the second toe on his right foot, ‘I’ll make it memorable.” And then, I pulled.
It wasn’t a clean snap.
Oh, no.
It was the slow tear. The kind that takes the skin first, then the tissue, and then the cartilage, just like peeling an
Wes arched off the table.
apple made of screams.
The gag caught the first half of his scream, but the second half thundered through his nose. It was loud, feral, and utterly satisfying.
I held the toe in front of him, blood dripping from the end.
“You think she’d ever be fine when we rescue her?” I asked almost in a child–like tone, narrowing my brows thoughtfully.
He shook his head so hard I thought his neck/might snap.
Too bad I wasn’t finished.
“You liked watching her suffer, didn’t you?” I asked as I gripped the next toe.
“You fucking enjoyed it.”

Crack.
His whole body seized.
Blood smeared the floor. My hands were painted in it.
That smell was copper and fear…
And I was just getting warmed up.
I stood up and walked to the table.
“Oh. Pardon my manners. I didn’t tell you how delighted I am to be in the same room with you and your sins. It’s such an honor, Alpha Wes.”
I picked up the scalpel next.
I wasn’t in a rush. No. This was art.
And art took time.
I ran the blade down the side of his face, just under his eye, enough to draw blood and let it sting.
Then I did it again.
And again.
Until his face looked like a roadmap
of
every mistake he’d ever made.
“You watched.”
Slash.
“You heard her scream.”
Slash.
“I bet you also got a hard–on.”
Slash.
Oh. And did I mention that my weapons had wolfsbane dripping
all over
them?
“How are you holding up?” I asked the barely conscious Wes.
By the time I was done, he was soaked in tears and sweat and blood and agony and terror and… Fuck. My whole body trembled with excitement, and my soul thrummed with the need to do more.
His ten toes? Gone.
His ten fingers? Gone.
One ear? Long gone. I left the second ear on for communication purposes.
I even plucked out an eye.

He looked like a better villain now.
His one remaining eye rolled.
“You don’t get to pass out, Alpha,” I said gently, slapping him hard across the face until his eye fluttered open again.
“We’re not done. Not by a long shot.”
I said, picking up a hammer with a bright smile on my face.
The hammer felt heavier than it should. Maybe it was the blood still dripping from my hands that made it so. Or maybe it was the weight of everything else.
“Can I tell you a secret?” I asked, turning the hammer in my hand.
My voice sounded so strange and hollow. I swear it wasn’t mine anymore.
He blinked slowly, like he was trying to stay conscious just to avoid something worse.
He was weak and halfway to death.
“She’s pregnant. My mate. We’re expecting a baby… Did you know?” I asked, and the look in his eyes told me all I needed to know. “Oh. You all knew. And yet…” I scoffed and shook my head.
The hammer clanged onto the table. I couldn’t even hold it anymore. My hands were shaking with emptiness.
“You know what’s funny?” I asked, staring at my blood–covered fingers like I was trying to remember what they looked like before all this. “I was trying so hard to protect her. Did everything. Blocked her phone. Watched her like a fucking hawk. I even killed for her… But you still managed to get her. I failed in the end, didn’t I?”
I turned back to him. The fucker didn’t even have the strength to show emotions anymore. But that was fine. I didn’t need to see his emotions. Just his agony.
I picked up the hammer again, raised it slowly, and looked him in the eye.
“Say hi to your gods for me.”
