“Don’t even try to transform,” Noah said with a superior tone. He stood over me with his arms crossed and was dressed in a dirty white T-shirt and stained jeans. “I gave you a potion I forced a witch to make. You won’t be able to shift for a few hours.”
That bastard!
But I stayed silent. I wanted him to keep talking. That way, he might accidentally reveal a way to help me escape.
“You’re probably wondering why I brought you here,” Noah continued, putting his arms behind his back and pacing in front of me. “And it wasn’t just to reminisce on the good old days.”
My stomach rolled with nausea.
I should puke all over him. That would show him.
“Ella, you’re my bait,” Noah revealed with arrogant pride. “When Liam learns that I’ve kidnapped his precious little Ella, he’ll come running, and when he gets here I’m going to kill him.”
My eyes widened, and my heart stopped beating.
No!
“Yes,” Noah said as if reading my thoughts. “That’s where the rest of my friends are now, and I have even more on the way. They are on the lookout for Liam, and they all know that I’m the only one who has the honor of killing him.” His voice turned mocking. “Perfect Liam. Everyone’s favorite. Even our parents.”
Noah stopped pacing and looked right at me.
“Even you,” he growled, hatred seeping through his voice. “Everyone prefers perfect Liam, don’t they? I learned that when I was seventeen and I saw the way you looked at him.”
I gasped. His right eye was twitching slightly and the veins in his neck were bulging.
Noah looked truly unhinged. He looked…capable of anything.
“Our parents said I was as good as their son, but they lied. Why else would Liam get the Alpha position and I was stuck with Beta?” There was bitterness and jealousy in his voice.
My captor rolled his neck from side to side.
“No matter. That’s all in the past,” he murmured, his tone grim.
He said it in a way that made it obvious it wasn’t all in the past for Noah. He lived with his burning hot jealousy for Liam every day.
“When Liam is dead, it will be that much easier for the Rogues to take over the WaterLock Pack,” Noah said and took a phone out of his pocket. He tapped some buttons on the screen and then pointed his phone at me.
Then, he reared back his fist and punched me across the face.
Fuck!
My teeth rattled, and I accidentally bit my tongue.
“There,” Noah said, shaking out his hand and hitting another button on his phone. “That video should lure Liam here.”
Noah then typed on his phone screen for a minute, and all I could do was sit and dream up ways to kill him. All of them involved a slow and painful death.
He put his phone back into his pocket. When he looked at me again, there was a manic glint in his eyes.
“This one is for fucking my brother,” he said and punched me in the mouth.
Agony burst through me and I could feel my lip split open as blood poured from the cut.
“Oh, and I was the one who attacked your dad. I had help, but it was all my idea. I wanted to kill the Delta so it would be easier for us to take over WaterLock,” Noah revealed with a smug smile.
That was the moment my resolve broke.
“You asshole!” I screamed, and it sounded like a war cry the way it echoed around us.
I lifted my leg and kicked him in the chest, putting all of my strength behind the kick.
His eyes widened and he staggered back.
But when he recovered, a wicked smile spread slowly across his face.
“I’m going to have fun making you pay for that,” he said as he stalked toward me and raised his fist.
Liam POV
“Here are the papers for you to sign,” my dad said, setting down a stapled contract on my home office desk. “I assume that’s why you’ve asked me to come. Please tell me that you’ve finally come to your senses?” He rolled up the sleeves of his crumpled white button-down shirt and let out a tired sigh.
After Ella fell asleep in my arms last night, I checked my phone before going to bed, and my heart lifted with excitement.
The army was ready. My plan had worked.
Immediately, I sent my father a message asking him to come over to the compound as early as he could. Thankfully, he’d agreed, promising to bring the contract King Ezeikel had drawn up along with him.
Anticipation shot down my spine as my father sat down in one of the chairs behind my desk. I couldn’t wait to tell my father about the army. Not because I wanted to rub it in his face, but because I was proud. Proud of my kingdom-and the Kingdoms of Pyregate and Tideridge-for finding a way to fight against the Rogue wolves. And maybe a small part of me would always want to impress my father, too.
I took my seat behind the desk and swallowed thickly as an image of last night flashed into my mind.
Tasting Ella on this chair…
