Chapter 46
Damien pov
Watching my mate running the silver knife along Tara's arm burning her. The room fills with the smell of burnt flesh. He's pressing the knife against her skin to the point it's almost cutting into her. He wants her to suffer and she will. I hear the door open and she yells “help me they are hurting an innocent wolf help” “who are you talking about mutt?” Brendon asks poking the tip of the knife into her chest. He is being careful not to cut her and spill any of her blood yet. Luna Bronwyn needs to cut to retrieve the blood needed for her spell. Though she did say as long as we left blood in her and alive for her to take the blood we could cut her all we wanted but I have a feeling that Brendon is not going to hold back once he has the go ahead to take her life.
Luna Bronwyn comes up to us with her bag slung over her shoulder. “is there a table I can use?” she asks. Before I can answer one of the guards takes off to grab a card table they set up when on duty. They use it to eat or play cards and the overnight guard set lab tops on them to watch Netflix. Coming back he sets the table up and she sets her bag on it pulling out the map with our blood on it and the silver bowl a bottle of water a bunch of herbs and her living dagger. What was it she call that this a soul blade or whatever it freaks me out? The whole thing reminded me of those harry potter movies with the soul in things to keep him alive can we say creepy.
“Brendon, will you help me?” Luna Bronwyn says holding the silver bowl to him without a word he just grabs for the bowl when she pulls away “wait. Hold on I don’t want to burn your hands. I know it in here awe here it is.” pulling a silk scarf from her bag she lays over Brendon's hands then places the bowl in his hands. “okay I want you to hold the bowl right under my dagger and catch the blood for me.” she tells him and he nods with a grin knowing that he will get to hurt her into talking soon. Following Luna into the cell he holds the bowl under Tara's left wrist “this may sting a bit or a lot frankly I’m hoping for a lot” he tells Tara. “no no please don’t your all evil.” Tara is screaming but no one is listening to her.
The Luna makes the cut drawing across Tara's wrist cutting deep. Once the dagger is free of her skin the blood fills the bowl before her wound heals its self. Walking back to the table she lays the dagger down taking the bowl. “may I have a little of your blood again? Both of you I mean?” we don’t think just hold out hands out to her. Slicing out palms and dropping our blood into the bowl with Tara's. “okay ill work my magic here you're free to get your answers alphas” she tells us. Looking at my mate I’m sure I have just as wicked of a grin as he does.
“where were we?” Brendon asks looking at the crying wolf. “hears the deal Damien will ask you questions and you will answer. If you don’t ill start removing your skin slowly until you start talking.” he points to James “he can tell if you are lying or not so if caught in a lie I will first pull a nail out slowly. Remember you only have 20 nails. If I have to remove them all then I will start removing fingers and toes. so the more you talk and the less you lie the less I hurt you. Do you understand” Brendon asks finishing by pressing the silver blade to her cheek? Hissing she nods.
“Who are you working with?”
”I don’t know who they are.”
Brendon runs the blade along her arm this time cutting into her. “this is your only warning next lie it's your nails”
D-” who are you working with?”
T-” I don’t know who they are I swear. My sister knows them I don’t I’ve only ever talked to her”
D-” who is your sister?”
T-”……”
Brendon slices into her arm taking a chunk of her skin off the sliver keeping her would open so we can all see the muscle of her arm. Blood ran slowly down to her elbow dripping to the ground. Brendon drops the flesh on the ground.
D-” who is your sister?”
T-” Lexus”
D-” Lexus who?
T-” please I can't she will kill me.”
Brendon slices another chuck off her other arm. He is saying nothing to her as he cuts into her or after he just smiles at her. I hear kade behind me sucking in a breath mumble about what he warned her.
D-” what do you think Brendon will do if you don’t talk? Let you go.”
T-” Lexus Anderson okay she's the Luna of the blood moon pack”
Brendon stabs the blade into her stomach twisting it. He's pissed.
D-” what does she want?”
T-”……”
Another piece of flesh this time from her torso cutting a little too deep taking flesh and muscle.
D-” what does she want with our mate?”
T-” your mate took something important from her.”
D-” and that was?
T-” Samuel she took Samuel from her cause she a fucking slut”
Stabbing the blade into her thigh Brendon grabs the bolt cutters. Lining them over her pinky finger slowly squeezes them until her pinky falls to the ground. She's screaming out in pain.
D-” as you can tell Brendon and me don’t take too kindly to you bad-mouthing our mate. Where are they?
T-” I don’t know I swear they never told me. I never planned to go to them I always planned to be with you.”
James nods telling us it's the truth. When Luna says “she doesn't need to know where they are her blood will tell me to find out if her sister is with them right now,” she says sounding very happy about something. “well answer her mutt,” I say to her she just nods and the Luna claps her hands together shes very happy. “we have all the information we need to find your mate and the hunters.” she says I look to my mate smile “my love finish it we are done here” I wave my hand over towards Tara who is now covered in her blood crying pleading for her life. “because of you we lost a lot of good wolves and our alpha. I would love to make you suffer for longer but I’m tired of smelling you.” Brendon says as he slowly pushes the silver blade into her chest I hear her ribs breaking as he pushes harder piercing her heart and twisting it. Then let it go of the blade leaving it in her heart turns and walks up t me pulling me to him for a deep kiss holding me close to him. Hearing a squeal of happiness we break apart to look at the Luna and the map. The blood is moving on the map circling an area on the map then it turns to an X and stops moving. “That’s where she is now. one more thing drink this.” she says handing a cup to me “both of you” she points. Looking at here confused. “they called in blood magic witches to try and spell your mate. So I’m blocking it with my potion. You three are connected so this potion blocks magic being used on you and your blood. In turn her blood. So anyone in your pack due to they all are pledged to you through blood.” she says with that we drink what she gave us. “ugh you couldn’t have made it taste better?” Brendon says making us all laugh. Bronwyn gathers her things and the map just as the cleaning crew arrives. “what do you want to be done with the body alphas?” one of the guards asks “toss it off our land leave it for the animals to pick at” I tell him as we head back to the packhouse to make our attack plans now that we know where to go. It will take three days to get there.
