Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond

Jace

I'm toying with him, I could have killed him by now. But that would be too easy, he deserves a slow... painful death.

A death that has come from him losing...from being defeated. I want him to bleed each drop of blood before I take his life. He dared to think he could have what was mine, to take my Cleo as his.

My dark aura is vibrating off me, part of it channeling from Jaxon through the sibling bond, he was struggling to keep his anger at bay. Struggling to let me handle this prick..for what he has done to Mum...to Cleo. He wanted in on this fight too, but this was all me...I would skin the man alive in front of his own pack.

I can feel Jaxon trying to push on the mind-link, trying to give me pointers...but I don't need them. I know what I am doing.

The bastard was slow, but I wasn't letting him think that, I was letting him think he still stood a chance. I want him to die at the moment he thinks he has a chance of winning this.

"Come on Than!” His bitch of a mother roars out as I pin him to the ground, my hands gripping around his throat...cutting off his air supply.

One more squeeze...

I drag him across the ground, letting each sharp-edged piece of gravel cut into his skin. He moans out, blood oozing down his back.

I let go of his windpipe just as he takes his last few breaths. Annoying, he taps out...surrendering.

"Do you surrender?" I roar out.

"No he doesn't surrender, get back in there. Kill him..." The deranged mother screams out, her high pitched voice assaulting my ears. Who exactly was the alpha here...him...or her.

"Or I will." She raises the gun, pointing it directly at me. I smirk out at her, one shot and she's broken the rules of the challenge...I can kill him, her...and any one here who stands on my way.

She raises the gun, but I didn't think she was fucking stupid enough to fire it...

Bang...

My eyes dart back to Cleo who screams out, rushing towards me but the gun has already been fired.
