And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

"There's no point in having him blindfolded. He can't communicate with them anyway; plus, it'll be a lot more fun having him watch us prepare to destroy his pack."

The sadistic comment from the man to my right, the burly one with the scar, and he stared at me with hatred. I wasn't afraid of him, though. Only one thing could scare me, and it wasn't anywhere near me right now. If I got free, he would be the first one I ripped apart simply for thinking he could fuck my mate as if she would actually allow it.

His eyes widened as his jaw clenched, his knuckles turning white against the blade's hilt. Before he could even say a word, though, the other man quickly hit me again, and eventually, black spots invaded my vision, causing me to slip into darkness. "Fucking let him watch. It'll be more fun seeing the terrified expression in his eyes when he realizes he's going to die." One of the men said, his voice getting shallower and shallower until they tossed me into absolutely nothing.
