MAGIC BLEEDS

I have been the Beast Lord of Atlanta for half of my life I am responsible for the lives of several hundred Free People of the Code So other people what to do That is only a part of it LeadershipInwhat you want or like

Tonight was no exception I was attending abetween the Pack Council, the alphas of all the clans, and the People, necroround, a sanctuary where all of Atlanta’s players came to be seen and feel important

Violence was strictly forbidden No problem we could dress up and play nice with Nataraja’s corpse fuckers For now there was no need for open conflict between the Pack and the People The peace would not last forever and one day I would watch the light go out of his eyes while the Casino burned down around hiht aside, I entered thethere with the other alphas, I nodded to hiroup upstairs I started to follow them when I detected a familiar scent It couldn’t be Why would she be here?

She had broken into hts, and even put catnip into lued that cute butt of hers into her office chair In short ere doing the ood, but in our own fucked up e had sed our pride and reached out to one another We both kneould never be easy, but illing to try I knew that Kate wasn’t universally loved by the Pack, but they owed iven the Or I would break it all apart

As I reached the top of the stairs I saw Ji one of his crew a new asshole What the fuck? Maybe she was here Kate was trouble and I wondered what she had done to piss Ji after all I just hoped I wouldn’t walk into the roolued to their seats

I stepped into the room and looked for her She stood by a table on the left and for a , her hair was down, she earing make-up and that dress It was cut low in the front and fit like it was made for her

She stood next to Saiman

She was here with him She wore that dress for hi hit ut The rest of the room ceased to exist There was only me and him and the distance between us Why him, why here? Did she want to hurt me in theto tellto make some sense of it The son of a bitch s to her that I could notvoice out of the noise "would er out of line"

I alht he was safe

Jim’s voice broke ht but it didn’t matter

"I can make him disappear," Ji him to you in chains, or in pieces Just wait Don’t do it in front of her We can do it any tiaze to her and she stared right back The look was challenging No, it was going to be right here and right now She could try and stopto watch me tear him apart I would paint the floors and walls with his blood before he died

The freak laughed "We aren’t without similarities, Curran and I"

Oh, I had to hear this

"We both fall prey to lust We both guard our pride and suffer froet ant: I use my wealth and my body and he uses his position of power You say I want you only because you refused me He wants you for the sa, the perpetual adolescent, suddenly at the head of the food chain, granted access to hundreds of women who can’t say no Do you think he forces them into his bed? He had to have done it at least a few ti her I was a rapist The guy ould fuck a snake if he could find someone to hold it still I never, ever

Kate, tell him it isn’t true Tell hi

I had wanted her, and I thought she wanted ood, I waited She was in the Keep, weak and wounded, but I never touched her He would say or do anything He would use her and throw her ahen he tired of her I had alames for her
