Forbidden (Blood Ties #7)

“YOU get the FUCK AWAY FROM HER!”I bellowed and aimed around the room, stepping closer to the motionless form on the table.

She was naked, her legs stretched wide, and there was blood…

Revulsion burned as I forced my gaze away. Narrowing in on Coulter. He never moved, just watched this all play out as Kane came through the door.

“Jesus Christ.”Walker groaned, finding her on the table, then glared around the room.“YOU FUCKING DID THIS? YOU GODDAMN ANIMALS!”

No.

I sucked in hard breaths, finding the glint of amusement in Coulter’s stare.

He did.

He lowered his gaze to her lying naked, spread out on the table. “Looks like this one isn’t worth the two million after all.”

My lips curled.

Black was all I saw.

The color of his eyes.

The cold, hard obsidian of my heart.

The gaping hole of my future where I died murdering every single one of these bastards. It’d be worth it.

I lifted my gun, took a step, and aimed.

He never even looked at the weapon, transfixed instead by my pain as though it was his entertainment.

“I will kill you.” Rage shook my voice. “I will kill every last one of you.”

“Riven.” Walker tugged my arm. “Come on, we need to get her out of here.”

He was right. He was…right.

I scanned the room, etching every fucking stare into my mind before I made for the motionless figure on the table.

Kane was already talking to her, opening her eyes, finding her pupils slow. He winced as he looked down. Blood and bite marks marred her body, but I couldn’t look at them.

Not yet.

Not without spilling more blood.

Come dripped between her legs. The glistening mess shimmered in the corner of my eye as I reached under her legs. “Get her a blanket or something, for Christ’s sake.” I snapped.

Walker spun around, but Kane was already tearing the buttons of his shirt free and wrapping it across her. I met his gaze briefly, finding his shell-shocked stare before I looked away. “She needs the infirmary.”

She needed a lot more than the help of doctors and the nursing staff, but right now, that was our only option. I handed my gun to Walker before I lifted her and pulled her body against me.

She’d held on…

But I hadn’t been there.

The words detonated inside me as I carried her from that room and back out into the hallway. Walker strode ahead, slapping his access card against the scanners as we went.

Coulter had set this up from the very beginning.

The files on the drive.
