"Wait I’ve heard about this Gavin toldThe ones who surrendered were adopted or assimilated into the pack"

"Adopted! Made into whores for the wolves! Wintersand the other leaders were killed!" Tucker shook his head "I still don’t understand how this has anything to do with me"

"Your mother, damn it! She left Winters and their son Then she turned around and mated with a damn wolf Quite a slap in the face for Winters That’s why she had to die"

Tucker felt the blood drain from his face "He k -killed my mother?"

"Of course! Tried to kill her little aborandparents took you and ran away, but it didn’t take too long for Winters to track you down He had quite a network of operatives He’d been planning to have you killed for years once the ith the wolves settled down He just never got around to it So, in his ood test of To I wanted to see if I could send him on a mission and have hiot in the way Lustful bastard couldn’t stay away from you once he found you" He looked down at Tucker "Understandable, really You’re a beautiful little thing, even if you are one of them Maybe I’ll have a little fun with you later"

Tucker dropped his head so he wouldn’t see the disgust sweep over his face No sense in antagonizing him even more at this point "Maybe I’ll film it, like I plan to do with Nicky here Send it to the alphas and tweak their noses a bit They’re so damn possessive and jealous Yes, it really was a bonus to have the alpha take you for his ain So convenient I’ve wanted an alpha’s pet to kick this off all along, but none of the others were suitable Nicky and Gabe are humans, and that other one is a wolf You’re perfect-- practically royalty to them with your father a beta and yourit will be for all of them to realize they can’t even keep their own precious pets safe" Tate’s s, Tucker Time for your medicine, sweetheart!"

"Wait, please! I still don’t understand! What’s in this for you? Why are you doing this?"

His se, of course Why else would I have come back to some little backwater town to practice eon! But when the opportunity arose, I couldn’t pass it up Elias Winters was ood care of ation to him to restore the Hunters and lead theth I won’t make the same mistakes my father did, and this ti with their half-breed bastards"

"Wait afor time "Nicky said your sister is mated to a wolf"

"My half-sister, yes Stupid cow It did giveher and get all the infor" He let go of Nicky’s arhly to his feet His legs felt like boiled spaghetti, and he could barely stay upright

Tucker made a silent vow to kill Tate at some future ti the Taser from his pocket, Tateheld it pressed to Tucker’s teed him over to a wooden chair in the center of the room He had only walked the perimeter before and totally e roll of duct tape Shoving him down, Tate stepped back and reached for Nicky, who shuffled over to stand in front of hiht you said he was just a victim?"

"Oh,he is, and when I have hi him anymore Until I can find a cure for the blood he has to drink, I’ll have to give him a synthetic substitute, but the real proble they’ve done to hi, hell--he’s been drugged!"

Tate s his ass cheek a squeeze "Just another little cocktail I devised A bit of Valium, some ecstasy and a few Oxycontin Makes hi hi fish! He’ll be all mine soon, and much more obedient that way Nicky’s been ured that out yet I almost had him too, except for the interference of that stupid creature he was mated to" He released Nicky’s ass, reached under the chair for the tape, and shoved it at Nicky "Tape hiht, baby"

Nicky, with his head still lowered, sank to his knees and dutifully began wrapping the tape tightly around Tucker’s legs Tate was sht Nicky, even if he could have th, and even if he had, the Taser was leveled at his chest again Nicky’s blond head was bowed, and his hands were tre violently

Still with his head down, he held out his hand for the syringe, and Tate dropped it into his pal stupor, Nicky ca in close He raised his head for the first time and looked directly into Tucker’s eyes Then he very deliberately lowered one eyelid in a wink Tucker thought for aaround Nicky’s lips convinced hi to be and had some kind of plan in mind Tucker decided to play it up for Tate, who stood carefully watching He shrank back as far as his bonds would allow hier…" Nicky said softly, slurring his words "I knota do this--I won’t hurt you"

The needle sank into his arm and Tucker tensed, still not coe blue vein had sprung up beneath the tie-off and the needle hurt badly as it went in Tucker screamed a hoarse, desperate scream that made Nicky shake even worse as he quickly pulled at the tieoff band on Tucker’s arue feeling of coolness spreading through his vein Nicky started to get up and sprawled back down again across Tucker’s lap, his hands fu down beside the chair to the floor for support Tate was i over him as he tenderly helped hiainst Tucker’s chest, pretending to have a hard ti back to his feet Tucker felt hi it quickly up under the tape Since Nicky had taped his hands facing together, it was easy to palht To help cover, Tuckerhis head on his shoulders as Nicky pretended again to stumble as he was pulled away

He ht dazedly, so relieved he was still shaking badly Tate was pulling Nicky upstairs, and he knew he had only a few minutes before Nicky was taken to another room and raped The little knife was sharp and soon he’d cut through the bonds on his hands He bent over and made short work of the tape around his ankles

Quietly as he could, heonly halfway, hoping that Tate would have had his hands full with Nicky and didn’t lock the door back He knew he had to hurry and hoped Nicky would be able to stall Tate for a few more minutes He tried the door knob and a wave of relief washed over hih the door at the top of the stairs he came out into aon the wall by the doorway Easing over to it, he dialed 911 and when they answered, whispered one word into the receiver--"Hurry" He let the phone dangle on its cord then, not daring to waste any more time, or have the dispatchers call back and alert Tate He knew dispatch would send officers to check out the call, and in theby the front door, he eased it partially open, so the officers could get in and not waste ti froht have one chance to surprise hi on Despite his weakness, Tucker was a trained police officer, and he thought he could handle Tate, even in his weakened state, and especially with Nicky’s help

Creeping silently to the door of the roo from, he paused for a second in the doorway Nicky lay on his back in thehim He heldNicky’s hands down on either side of his head while he was busy biting and licking at his neck Neither of the in the doorway Tucker inhaled a deep breath and hurled hi sideways, gravity and etting his hands around his throat and watching Tate’s face turn a satisfying shade of red as he gasped for breath Tate didn’t give up easily, and they struggled desperately for severalaround on the floor by the bed FinallyTucker et his hands around Tate’s neck, ably assisted by Nicky who had launched hi Tate’s ass and balls for all he orth whenever he got a chance At least a few of the kicks oing off

From some recess of his brain, he becato pry his hands froh, and a red haze covered his vision It took a sudden blow to the back of his headwith a cop’s flashlight before he loosened his grip and sagged to the floor The last sound he heard before he lost consciousness was Nicky yelling his nale" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-7451196230453695" data-ad-slot="9930101810" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true">
