Jared (The Protectors #2)(74)
“Wake them.” Kenny ordered stomping around nervously. “Get them alert.”
“My pleasure.” Chad Evans walked up to Damon, who was placed next to Nicole, and backhanded him across the face. Damon came alert his black eyes zeroed in on Chad. Having Damon’s attention he ran a large knife up Nicole’s stomach to her breast and back down nicking her bare stomach. “This is going to be the last thing you see before you die Warrior. Me, carving your mate in tiny pieces.”
“Mark my words. You will not leave this bar alive.” Damon’s growl was filled with more confidence than a man chained to a chair should have.
“Chad cut the shit.” Kenny sighed. “You’ll have your chance at revenge soon.”
Jared had been smacked awake, his eyes on Tessa, but his senses alert to everything else. His first thought was that he was shot, but he didn’t feel any damage. “Let the women go.” Jared’s voice was strong. “You got what you want.”
Kenny chuckled. “Well now…not exactly. You Warriors have really pissed a lot of people off, me included. Not only have you pissed me off, but you have seriously put a strain on my financial situation.”
“Get the f*ck away from her!” Jared’s eyes tracked the * from the fairgrounds as he eased his way to Tessa, his hand rubbing up and down her leg.
Kenny looked over his shoulder. “Travis is mighty anxious to have a go at her. She was taken for him, but she escaped before he could make her his.” Kenny looked back at Jared and grinned. “Let me explain to the heroic pain in the ass Warriors why they are in the position they’re in now. Then, my friend, you may proceed.”
“Hurry up!” Travis frowned running his finger around Tessa’s panties. “I’ve been waiting long enough.”
Jared struggled against the chains ignoring the pain the silver inflicted. “Motherf*cker…” Jared stopped when the half-breed smacked Tessa across the face.
“The more you fight, the more I inflict pain on her.” Travis laughed then frowned in the next second. “You wouldn’t want that now would you?”
“As I was saying…” Kenny looked around the room making eye contact with every warrior. “The blood trade was going well for me, but then you Warriors came into the picture and well, you pretty much f*cked it all up. You had my second in command fired from the Children’s Services so I had to come up with plan B. My plan B was to get rid of you.”
“You’re crazy.” Duncan shook his head looking at Kenny in disgust. “Even if you do get rid of us, there are thousands of warriors who will come for revenge and take our place.”
“Oh, but I’m not crazy.” Kenny tapped his temple. “I’m a f*cking genius. We found a way to make our own army. Soon, you son of a bitch, half-breeds will outnumber the Warriors and we will take over.”
“You forgot one thing.” Adam said from the back of the room. “Not all half-breeds are stupid enough to follow you.”
“Then we kill them.” Kenny’s matter of fact speech was just another example of how deranged he had become. “Just like we’re going to kill you.”
Sid sighed loud and long. “You know this is all fine and dandy, but I’m really sick of hearing your f*cking mouth.”
Kenny walked over and punched Sid in the face. Rubbing his hand he stepped back. “Well for once you’re not in charge.” Kenny smirked. His eyes then went to Duncan. “I have a little surprise for you.”
Duncan didn’t say a word, but his eyes narrowed dangerously when Kenny pulled Pam out of the shadows.
“I know you’ve had a hard-on for my girl.” He leaned down kissing her mouth while his eyes stayed on Duncan. “She has been very instrumental to me.”
Duncan kept tight control on his feelings, but his eyes held Pam’s until she looked away. “You have a point?”
“No…not really. I just like pissing you off.” Kenny’s grin didn’t leave his lips as he pushed Pam away. “Travis you go ahead and get started. We need to get this show on the road.”
“What show is that?” Jared growled trying to keep the panic out of his voice. Never in all his years did he feel the helpless panic he felt now.
“Making you suffer before you die and I’m going to enjoy every damn minute of it.” Kenny stepped back so Jared could have a clear view of Tessa. “Chad you hold on…we need to do this in an orderly fashion.”
“Please don’t do this.” Tessa tried to shimmy up the table, but the rope tore into her skin keeping her immobile.
His one golden eye swirled black edged with red. “This may hurt a little bit.” He pulled out a syringe with a large needle. “I hate to hurt you….love. I really do.”
“You’re crazy.” Tessa whispered still trying to pull out of the ropes, but knew it was useless, she wasn’t going anywhere. The needle jammed in her arm all the way to the base. Jared’s roar of rage blended with her scream of pain.
Travis frowned tossing the syringe on the floor before leaning close to her. “Did that hurt? I’m sorry, but we have to make you fertile. I know we’re going to make beautiful half-breeds together.”
“Screw you!” She screamed her frustration. “Rape is the only way you’ll ever have me you bastard.” She spit at him, blood from the cut on her lip splattered his face.
