BREA POV

The sound of dirt bikes roaring in the distance made my heart squeeze. I should’ve guessed. They wouldn’t run after us like a typical chase. Why would they waste their energy hunting in the wrong direction? Or on foot.

The boss had looked smarter than that.

I skidded to a stop, my mouth dry and my chest heaving. I wanted to give up. Could I really outrun a bike while running on foot? I highly doubted it.

What do I do? What do I fucking do! I panicked, my mind getting frantic as different thoughts filtered through my head. He was going to kill me if he caught up with me, there was no doubt about it.

My neck craned as I peered up the length of a knobby-looking tree. The branches were symmetrically placed, the leaves not exactly thick but its trunk looked strong enough to hold my weight and the leaves were enough to keep me out of his sight. I hoped no maggots or snakes were teaming under the branches tho, but I didn't care. I just needed to live through the night.

    BREA POV There was no way. I couldn't believe that he'd caught me so easily.He lighted a cigarette as he watched me, a hint of amusement dancing on his feature."You look kind of wild hanging up there... I wonder what sound you'd make if you were to suddenly fall" he asked, and I could see that he was genuinely curious to see it happen. "This has been an interesting night I must say. You gave me quite the thrill, but I won, so come down and meet your fate".He was insane if he thought I was just going to obey him. "No!"My words take him by Surprise, which was as well because I was sure everyone probably did anything he told them to.He cocked his head as he took a drag from his cigarette. "Interesting," he mumbled, the cloud of smoke slipping through his lip almost a work of art."You will do as I say in the end little cat, but by then I'd probably be more pissed off than I already am, and you'll have to bleed a little to put me at ease" he stated, an evil grin on his lips.

    BREA POVI woke up to something heavy around my neck. Without opening my eyes, I reached to feel it. It was a round necklace - solid metal, with a foreboding weight and texture. But the weight of it resting against my throat felt almost reassuring.Without looking in the mirror, I could tell that it was a collar. A customized collar with a round ring connected to it - like those of a dog on a leash.Where the hell was I? Jerking to a sitting position made me wince in pain, my whole body aching. The memories of the night before filtered through my mind and I groaned.My mouth was dry, my throat was parched and I felt like shit.I looked around the room I was in. The room was an annoying whitish-ashy color, and the theme was maintained for all the items that surrounded me, not that they were much. Just a bed, a couch, a closet, and a nightstand. I could already tell that it was meant to drive me crazy, and I was sure it would. I got to my feet cautiously and saw that I was not shackled

    NICOLAI POVI didn't tolerate defiance, It was not something I did, I didn't spare my kill either, but I was willing to make an exception this time.Brea was like a wild cat and I loved cats. The fiercer the better. But I wanted to tame her like a dog though. I'd planned to tie her up and use her body as a canvas it was meant to be but decided against it at the last minute. She was nothing, and yet she was. I didn't want her dead yet. Not when she was so thrilling to be around.I wondered how the electric shock felt running through her skin. It was a sight to see her writhing on the floor, her eyes almost rolling into the back of her head. Would there be a nasty red bruise on her neck if I were to take it off?I toyed with the idea before the memory of the kiss I'd been trying to block crashed into my head with an intensity that made my head spin. Her blood had tasted like wine. The best kind.I felt my pant tighten, the tingly sensation I felt spreading across my skin until it was

    BREA POV I didn't want to be left alone. Because I didn't want to confront what I'd felt when Nicolai kissed me.What the hell was wrong with me? Was I really turned on by someone who I was sure was going to kill me in the end? Or was I so touch depraved that at any slight provocation, my body ignited like a burning flame? He put a freaking shock collar on me and must have probably watched me writhe on the floor before he decided to grab me by the hair.Ryder's touch had made me feel alive, but Nicolai. It made me burn. It made my skin prickle and I didn't like it. I didn't like him either. His eyes were so cold they scared me. And I was afraid because I knew he could do worse. But you love the pain. I jerked at the voice in my head. Then I tried to deny it, but I knew it was all a lie. He'd bitten me and it had hurt like hell, but the burn and the way it still tingled even up till now made me feel alive.But I couldn't live like this. This was just like the rehab center, even th

    BREA POV.For a sickening moment, the whole room was enveloped in silence. The weight of Lucas on my back increased as he froze in place. I knew who the voice belonged to. At least it made Lucas stop, because I was already on the verge of giving up... My head was suddenly yanked up and I gasped for air. I could feel Lucas grin against my cheek as he lowered his head until his cheek touched mine. Nicolai's brows dipped. "What does it look like, brother? I am just trying to break our little prisoner in." Lucas's voice felt like nails scratching at me from the inside. If I ever got away, I was going to make sure I killed him if I got the chance to. My gaze locked on those of Nicolai, my heart drumming erratically. His face was unreadable except for the ticking in his jaw as he stared, almost right through me."What?" Lucas continued. "Are you not going to share her with me? Is she special to you or something" he asked and yanked on my hair harder. I kneed in pain and bit my lip so I

    NICOLAI POVSpots of blood swam in my vision, and I stabbed into the table in front of me, then took a drag of the cigarette I held. The rage I felt filled every pore of my skin and it was suffocating, but I basked in it, the urge to do damage, the urge to cause pain, the urge to cut something up growing until I trembled with it.I'd been so close. So close to killing Lucas, and even now, I felt the urge to look for him and cut him up until I got the rage out of my skin. The thought of violence spread all over my system and I killed the cigarette, then slowly rose from my chair.I thought I had control, and yet, seeing Lucas hold on her hair, the look of pain on her face, and his lips so close to what was mine... It made me see red. I'd always had to repress the demons that lurked inside me... The ones with the fucked-up fetishes and constant demands to satiate their desires. Sometimes, the urge was dull enough to ignore, but other times, it got to be so much that red became the only

    LUCAS POV.The room swam, the colors blurring into one. There was only the feeling of pain, and it wracked through my body, shattering every little fragment of my thoughts. The sound of his dagger slicing through my skin and bone like butter still made me shudder, and I clenched my fist around the sheet, my teeth clenched so tightly, I was surprised they didn't break. My whole arm was on fire, and remembering the lifeless look in Nicolai's eyes as he stabbed me repeatedly made my gut clench. He'd contemplated killing me- I'd seen it in his gaze- but at the last minute restrained himself.I knew he still burned with it, and if I were to go to him, he'd do it without reserve. Cold damp cloth touched my forehead, and I blinked, barely making out the face that hovered over mine. The doctor had been tending to me for two days now and the fever still didn't show any sign of going away. I'd always loved the pain, the kind that made me burn and feel as if I was truly breathing since I ha

    BREA POV.The air was chillier today and I got an eerie feeling that things were not going to go right.Days had passed and I didn't know whether to be relieved or terrified of something worse happening. At least I had been left all alone to my device. No collar. No chains. But every now and then, I could still see the manic look in Nicolai's eyes at our last encounter, and the words he'd spoken as his teeth grazed my heated flesh. "I will hurt you because it pleases me to"His words... They never seemed to fade from my memory, and he was the star of all my nightmares. I couldn't stop thinking about him no matter how hard I tried, and not seeing him made me wallow in a dreadful state of anticipation. Why was he just letting me be? After all that drama. He'd dragged me off to a room, just like the one I'd left, but the new room was much larger, and it was painted a mixture of black and red. Adjusting to the new environment as much as the pain would allow, my gaze roved around the ro

    BREA POV The hall got so quiet, you could hear a pin drop. A little hole appeared in front of Angrav's neck and I watched as red blossomed from it, and then a spray of blood hit me in the face before the man dropped to the floor. Zeus and Ryder stared shock-shelled, their jaw almost touching the floor. Then Ryder screamed, rushing towards me and brandishing a knife. Another shot swished through the air and I watched him crumble to the floor, screaming in agony as blood dripped down his thigh. "Fuck! Fuck!" He cried, then pulled out a tab and started pressing on it repeatedly. "Don't bother doing that Ryder, there is no one coming to save you. The Angrav clan is no more since your leader is dead. This house is under new management now" I smirked, taking in the horrified look on Ryder's face. I cocked my head at Zeus and watched in delight as he trembled. It wasn't from fear but rage, but there was nothing he could do about the situation. I bet he wasn't that dumb to figure out t

    BREA POV.I gasped as Angrav's nails dug into my chin, and then glared into his ugly-looking face."Hmm, such a fierce look. I can see why Nicolai wants you so much" he said, turning my face from side to side before letting go.My chin itched from the pressure, but my hand was bound at the back of the chair I was sitting on, so I couldn't scratch it off. Ryder stood pressed to the wall, watching me with no expression on his face. He still looked the same, except he was missing some fingers and his hair had grown longer. I met his gaze and he frowned, murderous intent swirling in his eyes. So he wasn't sorry for what he did? I came to a decision. I was going to cut his fucking arm off when all this was over. He'd injected me with those same hands and delivered me to Lucas anyway, so it was only fair for me to return the favor.A big screen stood in front of me, and that was the only thing that occupied the space we were in. Were they planning on showing me something? I didn't know h

    NICOLAI POVBrea was right, there was something fishy about the whole thing with the Angrav, hence why I was secretly making a plan B.I wasn't going to let them hurt her, but I also needed to wipe them out for good, or take over the territory because if I left them unchecked, they were only going to keep trying to obliterate me. I didn't even understand what Angrav's deal or obsession with the death of Xavier Genovese was. Had they been lovers, if they were, it would explain a lot. I would never stop seeking vengeance if anyone touched the hair on Brea's head, or put a bruise on her skin. But If I didn't put Angrav in his place, others like him will grow balls and they would try to challenge my authority, and in this fucking business, reputation was everything.I was already being disrespected anyway, and all because I chose to play nice for once. Zeus being an example... I should have just killed him earlier, but stalking my prey and instilling fear in them worked just fine to kee

    BREA POVThe gym was packed, and as I took out my frustration on the punching bag I couldn't help but glance at Zeus at the opposite corner.He'd been a fucking spy, and he'd tried to seduce me... Was that all part of their plan? What would he have accomplished by getting me to fall in love with him?No wonder he'd been so cocky when I told him that Nicolai was going to kill him if he didn't leave me alone.I could still remember his words from that day. "You underestimate me Brea, but don't worry, I am going to make sure that that doesn't happen. I won't allow Nicolai to hurt you anymore" he had uttered, fire burning in the depth of his gaze. I should have seen then that he wasn't ordinary, especially since everyone revered Nicolai. Then there was Ryder who was now on my kill list. The manipulative son of a bitch was going to die at my hand, I swore it.He'd betrayed me to Lucas and now he was trying to sell me off to the Angrav's.There was only so much I could take before I snapp

    NICOLAI POV"So this is all a big conspiracy" I mused, scoffing, my hand clenching the phone I held to my ear.I glanced back at Brea who still had her eyes closed with her mouth slightly parted, soft air escaping her lips as her chest rose and fell. She was so cute, it tugged painfully at my heart.The blanket half covered her and I could see the marks I'd left on her skin, gleaming as the lights from the lamp cast its glow over her. She was perfect, just like I'd known she would be.She'd told me she loved me, and it had caught me by surprise, because how could she love me after everything I did to her, but someone she did, even though she knew I was a monster?Brea had put her trust In me and even though I was a maniac, my brain always firing off and trying to deviate from the normal norms, I was going to keep her trust, I was going to protect her, and I was going to give her anything she wanted.I haven't seen her smile in a while and on a normal day, it wouldn't have mattered, ju

    ZEUS POVHer rejection shouldn't have hurt, especially since it was something that I had anticipated, but it did, and I did not like the dark feeling it evoked In my chest. I wanted to fucking smash something, but the gadget in the house I stood in was freaking expensive and I didn't want to be indebted more than I already was to my piece of shit older brother. Brea was a victim in all this mess and Nicolai Fernandez was the fucking bastard who didn't deserve her. He was a psychopath anyway and Brea should know better. He was only going to hurt her in the end.I dragged my hand through my hair, sighing in exasperation. For all of my life, I never thought that I would get involved in my brother's plot for revenge, but after the death of Xavier, and the attack of Nicolai against his syndicate, he'd been voracious for it and had come to me seeking for my help. I'd refused at first since I wanted to do nothing with the syndicate, but Angrav knew some things about me that could land me in

    BREA POV His words raised goosebumps on my skin and I am so disoriented by the sudden, power shift that I don't even fight back as he took my wrists and cuffed them to the bed.I swallowed hard as he yanked the bathrobe off my shoulders, almost ripping the material in half with the force he used. And then he did rip it, the tear ringing like a Canon in my ears. I gasped, shutting my eyes for a second as I burned up from the adrenaline coursing through my naked skin. I tried to wriggle away from him, but he put a stop to my movement as he straddled my thighs, holding me in place, his capable hands cupping my ass. His touch fucking scalded my skin and a harsh breath punched out of my lungs."What the hell do you think you are doing" I managed to get out, licking my lips nervously."Reminding you who you belong to" he growled, then yanked my hips back to get himself in a better position, holding me still with his dominant hands.“Relax, Brea,” he whispered, leaning forward to press a

    BREA POVSomeone was watching me and I could tell who it was even though I was still asleep. I jumped from the bed, my eyes flying open and blinking rapidly in the darkened room. I hit the light switch, trying to regulate my panic-induced breathing.I was alone, but there was a gut feeling that told me I wasn't. I dragged my hand through my hair, exhaling tiredly. Last night had been draining, maybe that was why I was feeling paranoid. I'd forced myself to go out with the rest of the crew... Andre had been really excited about the win, and the proud way he'd announced me to the rest of the crew had made me feel all warm and floaty inside. It was good to win, and as we all had fun, I'd been able to forget about Nicolai and Zeus for a while. Zeus literally disappeared after our encounter in the changing room, and Melissa recalled him saying he was going home to crash.Well, that was all over now. He was going to stay away and I was going to make sure of it. Nicolai on the other hand

    BREA POVMy body was wound up tight like a rubber band and I couldn't bring myself to move as I gaped at the spot that Nicolai had occupied just some seconds ago. The ghost of his finger against my throat still lingered and my lips throbbed, the feel of the harsh way he'd kissed me ingrained into my memory for good.I counted my heartbeat as it ricochet beneath my ribs. I couldn't breathe or gather my thoughts, especially not when my body fucking burned like I'd been lit afire.My head felt fuzzy as I dragged my fingers against my swollen lips, then down my throat, my eyes slipping close as I tried to relieve his touch.A door slammed outside and I jerked, my eyes flying open as my heart rate increased, almost to the point that it fucking hurt.What the hell are you doing Brea? I asked myself, dragging my hand through my hair and wincing from the dark bruises that littered my torso from the fight earlier.Nicolai was back, and contrary to what I thought, he hadn't forgotten about me
