“We’re going to get him out of here.” Jake met the other man’s eyes and didn’t blink. “I swear it.”
Casper eyed him questioningly for a moment then nodded his head. “I believe you but we might have another problem.”
“What’s that?”
Before Casper could answer, Holden moved into the room, quietly shutting the door behind him. “We’ve got company, guys.”
“That’s what I was trying to tell you.” Jake could hear the panic in Casper’s voice. “Bradford is coming back. He said he wasn’t finished with me.”
“That must be the man we saw come to the house this morning,” Jake said just as the doorknob started to turn.
Jake looked at Casper and held a finger to his lips. He then grabbed Holden by the wrist and moved to stand against the wall by the door. Seth stood on the opposite side. A few seconds later the door opened and in walked a tall, thin man with deep-brown hair. He carried an amber-colored drink in his hand. Jake could smell the bitter stench of whiskey as it sloshed around in the glass.
“Oh, Casper, my dear.” The man sang the words out. “You ready for round two.” The door shut behind the man. He wore black leather pants and his hips swayed as he walked toward Casper. The man’s chest was bare and his pale skin glowed in the low lighting.
Jake caught movement out of the corner of his eye and looked over at Seth. He pointed to himself then to Jake then toward the other man. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what Seth had in mind.
“Are you having fun, Casper?”
“No.”
The man’s head snapped up at Casper. To say he was surprised was an understatement.
Seth lunged forward and punched the man in the back of the head. He fell forward landing on Casper who howled in pain. Jake quickly grabbed the man by the shoulders and threw him to the floor. A disgusting thud sounded as the man’s head slammed into the hard marble floor. The man lay there stunned and Jake didn’t have time to react. Seth was on the man in a flash. He sat straddling the man’s chest, pinning his arms to his sides. Seth dug his mouth into the man’s neck and thrashed his head back and forth until a loud pop sounded. Seth stood up and wiped his arm over his mouth, smearing the other man’s blood across his face.
“One down, two to go.” Seth didn’t appear to be the least bit shook up that he had just killed another person.
Jake turned his attention from Seth and the dead body on the floor and ran over to Casper. He removed the leather strap bindings holding him to the bed. Casper sighed in relief.
“Thank you.” Casper tried to get up but started to stumble.
Jake reached out and gently grabbed ahold of him. Casper let out a hiss as Jake’s arm touched his back. Jake turned Casper away from him to inspect his back. Just like the front his back was riddled with red welts and bruises. Not being able to stop himself he handed Casper off to Holden and began to stomp his foot onto the dead man’s chest.
He couldn’t believe that another wolf or human could ever do something like this to another person. Just the mere thought sickened him. He landed kick after kick to the corpse until Seth pulled him back.
“You have to let it go.” Seth held strong as Jake geared up to attack the body again. “We saved Casper. Now it’s time to save your mate.”
His mate. Jake’s vision became clear and he started to calm down. The smell of blood hung thick in the air and he wanted to gag on the stench.
“Holden, I want you to take Casper out of the house. Go back to where we left our clothes.” Seth handed out instructions. “If Jake and I aren’t out there with Carl in fifteen minutes call your alpha. Tell him what’s going on then get Casper and yourself back to my Jeep.”
“I’m not leaving you guys.” Holden clung to Casper but his eyes darted between Seth and Jake.
“Trust me.” Seth placed a hand on Holden’s shoulder. “We’ll be out there. This is just a precaution.”
Jake wasn’t quite sure if Seth truly believed that or if he was just trying to reassure Holden. Either way Jake wasn’t leaving until he found Carl.
Before Holden escorted Casper out, Seth questioned him. They needed to make sure that Tobias and his right-hand man were the only other people in the house. Casper confirmed that they were. Jake said what he hoped wasn’t his last goodbye to Holden then watched as he and Casper left through the back door.
“You ready for this?” Seth asked.
“More than you know.” Jake took the lead as he headed up the stairs. He never had been an extremely violent man or wolf but seeing what these monsters were capable of caused Jake to turn off his humanity. God help these men because Jake was out for blood and his wolf wouldn’t be satisfied until it got it.
God may have mercy on Tobias but Jake had no intentions of being so kind.
Chapter Thirteen
“Why do you have to disobey me?” Tobias asked as he knelt over Carl, trailing his sharp fingernail over Carl’s shoulders.
True to his word, Tobias proceeded to bite every piece of skin on his body. He had been grateful that the man spared his face. Tobias said he was too handsome and didn’t want to disfigure Carl’s delicate features. But he promised that if Carl ever left him again he wouldn’t be so generous.
After Carl fainted for the second time, Tobias unchained his wrist and laid him on the bed. The other man knew Carl was unable to fight back. Fire shot throughout all his nerve endings, leaving him paralyzed to do anything but
