Chapter Four
XADEN
The pressure I’ve been putting on myself is the only thing keeping me grounded, and the urge to chase down the bitch and tear her fucking throat out at bay.
Cas told me he helped her hide until we could get her afterward, then he came back to assist me, but by the time he got there it was too late.
I had a nice set of bracelets around my wrists and Meekan’s smug face in front of me.
That cunt thought he had me hook, line and sinker, but I have deep pockets and my lawyers know what the fuck they are doing.
They came into my house without a warrant or a single phone call to the station, giving them probable cause to enter my residence.
The satisfaction I felt when I watched his face fall as his boss told him to cut me loose had my cock rock-fucking-hard and begging for an outlet.
I know he won’t stop. He’ll keep trying to come for me, but I’ll be waiting because I’m not done with that cunt yet.
I can’t prove it but I fucking know Meekan knew about what Lorenzo and that other cunt had planned that night, I just don’t know how he knew and that is driving me fucking mad!
I need to find out how he knew. Lorenzo hated him, so I know there is no way he was working with the feds, which leaves her father.
That fucking snake is slimy and I wouldn’t put it past him to get in with the feds thinking it would cover his ass when shit blew up.
I push all that shit out of my head as I pull into the parking lot of SU. I fucking hate this place and could stop coming any day I wanted, but the truth is, I made a promise to Emery years ago that I would finish college and that is the only reason I keep coming here.
School.
That fucking word only has one meaning—six cruel hours of our lives—-ever since everything went down that night a few months ago at Lorenzo’s.
Security has been upped since then to make sure no one crosses into each other’s sides.
Fights have broken out most days because my people can smell the blood in the water and know I will allow it and not punish them like Lorenzo did.
I want them to hurt those Somerset fucks and show them we are the stronger town and will tear them down to fucking nothing.
I own this place and it's only a matter of time before I make my move and overthrow their dear senator.
I climb out of my car and instantly feel the stares of all my peers.
I knew they all worshipped me before, but now, they all stare because of the rumors of my father’s death.
The only one who knows the truth is Cas.
I made sure to take my time tearing Hammer, Tike and Merc apart slowly before removing their lips and adding them to my treasure jar.
Those cunts had it coming and the moment they realized their savior was dead they tried to run, but I hunted them down and made them fucking pay.
I enjoyed every second of hearing them scream and beg for mercy. Cas relished the chance to claim his pound of flesh and remove their nails. It was fucking orgasmic seeing their skin peeled back and looking at their insides, I shiver now just thinking about it.
Fuck, I need to find a new target!
The bloodlust coursing through me will consume me if I don’t find an outlet soon.
I make my way inside the building, ignoring every person that tries to speak to me and the sluts that throw themselves at my feet.
Don’t these bitches get that their desperation reeks and turns me off?
The way they line up against the lockers and make sure I know they are available and would gladly drop to their knees in front of everyone and suck my cock is repulsive.
As I round the corner to head to my first class, Brady crashes into me. I sneer at the fucker and love the sight of the fear in his eyes when he realizes it’s me.
“Shit, sorry,” he mutters.
I narrow my eyes at the fucker, he’s lucky he’s still fucking breathing.
“Stay the fuck out of my way,” I spit out, then shoulder past the little cocksucker.
I take one step into my classroom only to be halted by the sound of Cas calling my name.
I turn around and see the big fucker stalking toward me like a man on a damned mission and bite back my growl.
The look on his face tells me I’m not gonna like what he has to say.
“She’s back,” he grits out when he comes to a stop in front of me.
“Who?” I bite out.
His face blanks of all emotion as he meets my stare.
“Tink.” Hearing my nickname for Toren slide past his lips has me instantly wanting to smash his face in, but I refrain.
My blood begins to boil and the thirst for blood consumes me.
That little bitch ran from me and for a short time she was free, but now she’s here and I plan to make her regret ever coming back to my town.
“Where?” I snarl.
“Maddison told me she came by yesterday to see her.” Without uttering another word I brush past Cas, knowing he’ll follow me.
I ignore all the stares of everyone, too focused on finding the fairy I’m about to slaughter.
I pull out my phone, ready to bring up her class schedule, but come to a sudden halt when she suddenly appears mere feet away from me in the hall.
My upper lip pulls back in a snarl at the sight of her standing there, my anger soaring when the little cunt meets my stare with a challenge in her blue eyes.
I hate that my cock instantly twitches at the sight of her.
Unlike the other bitches around here she doesn’t wear skin-tight clothes to show off her assets.
She wears a pair of jeans that fit her perfectly.
The oversized hoodie she wears covers her curves.
Her blonde hair is tied in a messy bun thing on the top of her head and her face is free of makeup.
I fucking hate that she doesn’t need the shit, she looks good without it, and all that does is make me want to run a blade over her flawless skin and mar it, so every time she looks in the fucking mirror she’ll see the damage I caused.
She flicks her gaze to Cas and instantly I burn with outrage that she dares to look away from me.
I stalk toward her, waiting for her to turn and flee but the dumb bitch just stands there, waiting for me to get close.
When I’m within reach, I snap my hand out and grip her throat, then drive her backward until her back slams into the lockers.
No one dares to move or utter a single word, they know I fucking own them and this place and speaking against me would mean the end of them.
Toren doesn’t look away or try to get free of my hold as I bend and get right in her face so we are breathing the same fucking air. The cunt should be thanking me for not snapping her neck right here.
“Hello, Xaden,” she rasps out, forcing me to tighten my hold and cut off her supply of oxygen.
She reaches up and grips my forearm, digging her nails into my skin.
The sight of her face turning a bright shade of red sends all the blood rushing to my cock.
I fucking live for this feeling. I’m the one with all the power.
I decide whether she lives or dies and there isn’t a fucking thing she can do about it.
“S—stop,” she gasps out as she digs her nails in harder, breaking the skin on my arm.
The slight sting of pain has me groaning and my grip tightening.
I know I won’t be able to stop. I want her death.
I want to send this cunt to hell for what she took from me, her and her fucking pathetic family ruined my life.
They destroyed everything and broke it into a million pieces.
“Let her go before I blow your fucking brains out in front of everyone.” Cas pushes forward and covers me from whoever the fuck it is.
I release the bitch but grip the front of her hoodie, ignoring the sound of her gasping for air as I face the cunt holding a Glock pointed right at me.
I lock eyes with the motherfucker and bare my teeth.
His pale blue eyes dart to the bitch in my grasp, the look of concern on his face only serving to fuel my anger.
This bitch is mine to torment!
