His Rogue Luna novel Chapter 86

"You won't know until that precious mate bond of yours breaks and I'll come back to your cell with you dead from the pain," He smiled, pulling my face closer to his.

I just met his beady evil gaze with one of my own, showing him with my eyes what I couldn't say with my mouth just yet.

I hated everything about this man.

I hated how I could feel his disgusting breath on my face.

I hated how his grimy hand, stained with the blood of countless innocent people, was gripping my face and burning my skin.

I hated how he was still living and breathing while the ghosts and shadows that haunted him screamed for justice.

And most of all, I hated how he threatened my mate.

But I had to calm myself to execute what I wanted. If I wanted to get out of here, I had to do these next few steps carefully.

I took a second to brace myself before speaking.

"That's what you wanted isn't it? When Mara died? You wanted to die with her, because you couldn't live with the pain," I watched with dark satisfaction as his face froze over, his mask slipping off for a second to show the broken and vulnerable man he was underneath.

But soon enough, his mask came back on and his face contorted with rage.

He slapped me hard, the guards letting me go, and I fell to my side on the ground. I was yanked back up by my hair to face a red McConor.

"You bitch! Don't you ever speak her name again!" The smug man from earlier was gone and the man that stood before me was blind with anger and uncontrollable.

I didn't react as he began kicking me and throwing punches, his brothers holding me down to take them.

I couldn't tell how long he took his anger out to me, but my body was sore and aching when he was done.

His face was still red, his forehead glinting with sweat that he wiped off with his sleeve. His silent brothers let me go and they all stepped out of my cell.

"I'll make sure your mate suffers before he dies so you suffer along with him," He promised, still panting from exertion. I lay on my side, clutching my abdomen with my arms as I curled into a ball.

I made a show of growling and hissing at him and he cackled in response as he locked my cell door again.

"I'll see you soon Cynthia!" He yelled as he walked out the cell. I heard the slam and click of the outside door.

"See you soon Taylor," I muttered to myself as I sat up properly. I uncurled my clenched fist to reveal the key I had managed to steal from one of the brothers.

While I knew it was the emergency key that they rarely used, it would only be a matter of time before they realised it was missing.

I just hoped I could escape before they attacked the Phantom pack so I could warn everyone.

Keiran POV

I had known something was wrong when hours had passed without a word from Artemis.She hadn't told me if she had arrived at the old territory yet, but I brushed it off at first.

While I was worried about her well-being, I could justify that she was busy and wouldn't be able to mind link me all the time.
