“What the hell are you looking at?” she snaps, her cold eyes freezing me on the spot.

Is it too late to regret? Is it too late to fix what I’d s**dly broken because of my arrogance and pride?

Her white t-shirt and jeans were covered in blood, but it was like she didn’t really care. She gave off the impression that it didn’t really bother her.

I stare at her and then at her handiwork, and I don’t know what to think or feel. Sure, Piper knows how to defend herself, but she doesn’t know the different ways there are to torture someone. I doubt any of our women do.

I know it’s going to sound archaic, but for us, our women are meant to be protected at all costs. We won’t stand in their way if they ever want to learn how to fight and such, but we also won’t encourage them to do it. We are content in providing and protecting them.

“Are you going to get your pound of flesh?” She asks as she wipes the blood from her arms. “I hear you’ve been looking for him wanting to exact your revenge.”

“No,” I answer and then push off the wall.

“I figured,” she shrugs, and then throws the rag down when she’s done with it. “Anything for you baby sister, right? I wonder why I didn’t get the same consideration?”

I clench my jaw against her mockery. Now that I know the truth, I know that she’s entitled to her bitterness. After what I put her through, she’s right to hate me and everyone in my pack.

She was about to leave, but before she could, the door bangs open and Piper rushes in before coming to an abrupt stop.

Her eyes widen in shock when they land on her mate. You could barely recognize the b*d w**ith how Sadie had first beaten him then tortured him.

“What have you done to him?” She screams, the pain and anguish of seeing her mate in this condition clear in her voice.

want to comfort her, but I can’t. Not when the **d deserves it. His action caused a lot of cluster f**k. Ones that Piper is yet to know of. I couldn’t take part in torturing him, but it doesn’t mean that I couldn’t enjoy the end results.

“Torture,” Sadie drawls, “Isn’t it obvious?”

I see the moment Piper loses control, but it’s too late to stop her. She lunges at Sadie, her claws out, ready to strike.
