Wolf Endangered (Willow's Forbidden Pack #2) - Avery Song Page 0,193

bodyguard, the one who was seen driving Mr. Rodriquez and protecting them when the confrontation occurred, has just confirmed that Officer Raymond was actually a hired undercover agent working with the FBI! He was assigned to assess this specific group of officers due to suspicious activity and reports being done at the department! That's all the details we have at this time, but it's becoming crystal clear that what happened earlier this evening during rush hour against Mr. Rodriquez, Miss De Luca, and her accomplices was a direct act of hatred! We hope Officer Raymond recovers so we can get his side of the story!"

Willow lowered her hand and rose up from her spot.

"Is that enough?" she asked Milo.

I could already see the hope in his eyes as he nodded swiftly.

"Willow De Luca, right?"

"Mhmm," Willow replied.

"I, Milo Raymond, vow my loyalty to you, Willow De Luca, and the pack you're associated with," he declared. "From this day forward, my loyalty to you is as strong as a wolf's bond to his pack. Let the magic within me be my witness."

The air sizzled with power, and I knew without a doubt that it was a sealed deal.

Willow nodded and looked over at me.

"I'm done," she announced. "The ball is in your court, mate."

The elevator ding caught our attention, and we looked back to see Jayce had arrived.

"Just in time," I noted as he walked towards us. "Was about to get busy."

"Oh, I get to watch?" Jayce tossed back and didn't hesitate to walk over to Willow and kiss her on the cheek. She seemed to beam at the obvious expression of affection, and I had to admit, I liked the idea of them getting more comfortable with one another.

"I think it would be good for Milo to get to take part in the torture," I suggested, which got their attention as I looked at the very man in question. "You have healing capabilities?"

He bobbed his head.

"How fast are you?"

"Scratches...a second...major organs...five seconds," he breathed and actually smirked. "Three seconds...if you at least get me some steak."

Willow laughed and looked at me. "He has humor."

"Clearly," I replied. "Guess we better get you a steak."

I walked over to my table, and it wasn't long before I had everything set up to go. Waiting for Jayce and Willow to come back, I asked a quick question.

"What about bringing back the dead?" I looked over to Milo as he clearly got my point and slowly looked over to his dead comrade at the end.

Ex-comrade.

"If that's what you want," he replied. "It's a bit of a pain in the ass."

"What if it gets you out of here and to your daughter in two hours?"

His eyes widened while mine darkened with mischief. "You saw what my sweet mate can do. With the Forbidden Pack, if you're loyal, you reap the rewards."

The man didn't even delay. I blinked three times and just like that, the man was gasping for life as if he'd just been sleeping. The bullet hole was still there, but it was merely contributing pain at this point, rather than killing him.

I felt Nico's presence now as it swept through me at the marvelous sight, and I looked back at Milo. His eyes widened as he got a glimpse of how lethal I probably looked thanks to my immense amusement.

"I take it back," I whispered with a husky voice. "One hour."

I'd impress my Willow by serving justice and be rewarded with pleasure.

"I'm running out of paintbrushes, Ronald."

Leaning against one of the pole structures in the room, my eyes continued to watch Neo's blood craft as he continued to paint probably the biggest piece he'd done in a good fucking while.

There was no denying the fact that this artwork would sell within ten seconds, or maybe he'd even put it up for auction. He liked reserving an auction for special occasions, but from the way Neo had been in such a happy mood since starting his first session, I had a good hunch that he'd go along with it.

The metallic stench of blood cloaked the room like an invisible plague, but you didn't need to look far to see the remains of the three officers. Neo hadn't made their suffering too agonizing.

They were alive the entire time, until the very last stroke, but a fifteen-minute session wasn't really anything close to Neo's usual time frame. Each officer got an agonizing five minutes, and since they were going to be dying just
