Chapter 415

“Correct, sir.” I said as I cleared my throat. The wine was starting to get to me. My lips were tingling, my face was flushed and my body.

was relaxing.

“Tell me, why didn’t he make you luna?” Vin asked.

“I wasn’t his mate, sir. On his birthday, it was clear we weren’t mates so we were officially broken up.”

“However, he wasn’t your first boyfriend.”

My body froze as his words sank in. “He was my only boyfriend.”

“What about a Mr. Russell Bount?” Vin finished off his mashed potatoes and used his cloth napkin to clean his mouth.

“We went on a few dates but that was it. He wasn’t classified as my boyfriend.”

“But you lost your virginity to him.”

I felt Gunther stiffen up at this. He knew I wasn’t a virgin but I didn’t correct him when he assumed Colt was the only person I slept with. I found the whole thing st upid as he slept around a lot.

Since Gunther told me not to lie, I didn’t. “In the back seat of a Corvette.”

A few men snickered. “I have a gift for you.” Vin said in a way that made me look up at him. Up until now, I kept avoiding his eye contact.

“A gift?” Gunther said.

“Yes, come see.” Vin stood up and everyone followed.

Gunther helped me to my feet and then followed Vin out of the dinning room and down the hall. We kept going until a backdoor came into view. As soon as we walked outside, I was immediately. sick to my stomach. Russell was tied to a tree. Not around the tree but his arms and legs were stretched as far out as possible with rope connecting him to a tree. His body was suspended in the air so he was a huge X.

“I assume you recognize him.” Vin said. I had stopped walking as all the emotions ran through me.

“Yes.”

“Gunther, what you don’t know is that Russell here was Kara’s first Jove. Not Colt but Russell.”

“Where…” I couldn’t stop myself from speaking.

“Where did I find him?” Vin filled in for me. “I assumed I would run into you again so I took the liberty to test your loyalty.”

“Test my loyalty?” I asked, hoping I heard him wrong.

“Correct.” Vin took my arm and yanked me down the yard an by a wooden table. “Prove you are loyal to me. Kill him. Cho weapon and take him out.” Vin made it sound like it was easy as that.

“Pick up the gun and just do it.” Gunther said in the mind-link.

“I’ve never killed before.” I whispered back. “I don’t think I can.” Tears threatened to fall.

“You don’t have a choice.” Gunther growled. “I am commanding your to pick up the gun and kil him.”

Me ntally, I knew he couldn’t command me to do s hit but my arms didn’t listen. “NO! PLEASE!” Russell begged.

*E BONUS I wasn’t sure what gun I grabbed but with two hands, I pointed it at Russell and fired. The first shot missed him completely. By this time, tears were running down my face as I squeezed the trigger again.

This time I hit his leg. Russell cried out in pain as I pulled the trigger again. That one nicked his side.

At this time, I just stopped paying attention and pulled the trigger until nothing else came out. Russell was still crying out as I opened my eyes to the horror scene in front of me. All my shots hit none vital parts except one. That his artery in his leg. Blood was flowing out of him painfully slow.

“That isn’t exactly what I had pictured but he will die.” Vin said, almost impressed. “You couldn’t have walked closer.”

Realization of what I just did hit me as Russell closed his eyes and became quiet. I just killed a man. “I didn’t think she would have it in her.” The guys joked behind me.
