Chapter 223
It wasn’t easy.
But it worked.
Hooking his eyelids open, I made him watch.
One by one, I inserted thin silver poles into his skin..
I made him watch how his blood pooled around his only arm. I made him feel what it would be like to go paralyzed. Enough silver in his arm would be able to momentarily paralyze him.
But he would still feel the pain.
He howled out, screaming as loud as he could when he felt another jab a sharp silver pierce through his back. I made sure to hit his spine this time. And another was put in. And another. And another.
He was a mess.
He’d soiled his underwear. His stench filters around us. I wish I could say I felt pity. Some sort of sadness for someone who I wished had noticed me more, but there was only a hollow emptiness.
A disappointment, almost.
I couldnt really decide on what to do next. I had taken the time to pull out each of his fingernails and stuck two inch silver plates in its stead. He’s screamed a lot, then. I’m sure by now he’d strained his vocal cords.
His voice turned rough and scratchy from overuse but he still screamed.
And screamed.
And screamed.

I’d taken his arm, taken his mate mark.
What else could I strip him of?
My eyes flared up with excitement.
“I wonder.”
Benicios groggily lifted his head, his eyes red and bleary and tired and defeated as the hooks. continue to force his eyelids open. His breathing is hollow and I can’t help but engrave this moment in my head,
“How would a wolf feel to lose his tail?”
Meredith blinks slowly, taking in Selene’s mother for what she was worth. She couldn’t see the resemblance.
She really couldn’t.
Yes, she had looked similar. Yes, she had the same facial structure. The same lips, the same hair color, the same skin tone and yet, they were completely and utterly
different.
There was no fire.
No determination or self-respect that Selene had.
There was not a single trace of Selene inside that woman. She couldn’t see it. And believe her, she.
tried to find it.
They’d all taken refuge at the Capital as they awaited the news of Beta Dixon’s betrayal. All Wolves present remained. They wanted answers. Each and every wolf felt uneasy about how an Alpha like Landon allowed a traitor to have such high position in his pack. How fo olish the young Alpha was.
The same young alpha who was detained at his cell.
“Disappointing.”
Meredith sighs, tilting her head to the side as she looked Sophie up and down,
“I expected more.”
Sophie doesn’t have the time to respond because Hestia, the little pest, had stood up in anger, glaring at the ex-Alpha with intensity. Sophie’s displeasure had spiked in the air, despite the fact she was chained with two guards beside her, keeping her posted.
Yet, she didn’t say anything.
Like Meredith thought:
Different.
“Don’t disrespect my mother, witch.”
Oh?
