Wolf
Id spent most of the afternoon extracting information from Winters before I killed him. I had a full list of buyers that used Vinces little operation. Fox was handling the elder DeLuca. Vince was supposed to be selling a girl tonight, I was going to handle him. I wanted to check on Jasmine first though.
I rang Jasmines buzzer, but she didnt answer. I walk into the alley and see the lights of her apartment are off. Fuck, I bet she went to Eclipse. When I got to the club, it was past closing. I immediately headed to the employee exit.
Jas isnt here, Angel said as he walked by me.
I grabbed his shoulder. What?
He looks me up and down, pushing my hand off his shoulder. I resisted the urge to punch him.
He stared me down. She said you told her to quit. So she came in to give Vince her notice and pick up some outfits. Shes probably home.
Shes not. Did you see her leave? I tried to keep calm.
No, but I work the front. She probably left out the back. He looked worried. Yo Monique.
A short red-haired girl turned, looking annoyed as she walked over. Dont use my real name out here.
Did you see Jas tonight? Did she pick up her stuff?
She looked at me suspiciously. And you are?
Hes her boyfriend. Hes cool.
She still side-eyed me, but she answered Angel. No, I didnt see her and stuff is still here.
Fuck. I turned and ran to my car pulling out my phone and dialing Fox as I moved. He was the only person in the world I would trust in this situation. For the first time in my life, I felt fear.
If anything happens to her, Im gonna fuck you up! Angel yelled after me.
What is it? Fox answered, his voice terse. I could hear agonized screams in the background. Fox hated being interrupted, but I didnt give a fuck.
Fox, its Jasmine. Vince has her.
There was a moment of silence. Where is he holding her?
Likely, the warehouse Winters told me about. He was supposed to meet with a buyer tonight.
Send me the address.
I was going to get her back. I raced through the city, ignoring the speed limits. I couldnt lose her. Not like this. Vince was a dead man and if hed touched her, that death was going to be slow and painful. If anything happened to Jasmine, I would burn this city down and piss on its ashes. I would kill them all. And if she was dead, then after they were dead Id join her.
I pulled up to the warehouse. I parked and got out, heading to the building.
I found a side door and quietly let myself in. Fox was waiting just inside. A man I assumed was Vinces bodyguard, dead in a pool of blood at his feet. I stepped over the body without a second glance. All I could think about was finding Jasmine.
We moved through the warehouse, quick and silent searching for Jasmine.
I heard voices, and Fox held up a hand.
Youre going to make me a cool million. I bet you never thought your black ass was worth that much.
A level of rage I didnt know I was capable of feeling flooded my senses. I took a breath. I couldn’t let it blind me. I couldn’t get sloppy, not when Jasmine’s life was on the line.I moved towards the voices, my gun in my hand. I rounded the corner and kicked open the door.
I saw Jasmine, her feet bound, lift her legs, and kick Vince square in the chest as he loomed over her. “Fuck you, she screamed at him.
A surge of lust and pride cut through my rage. My girl was a fighter. As he lurched back, I put a bullet in his shoulder.
Fuck! He screamed, clutching his shoulder and falling to his knees.
Jasmine.
She looked up at me. Wolf.
I rushed over to her. Fox kept his gun trained on Vince, as me moved into the room.
I saw the bruises on her neck. Nobody was ever going to touch her lovely throat again but me. Are you okay? I asked, pulling my knife out and cutting the zip ties on her feet, her hands were already free.
Im fine. I knew you’d come.”
I pulled her into my arms, holding her tight. Im so glad I found you.
Of course you did. She said with an absolute trust that, I would never let her down.
You bitch, youre going to die. You and your fucking boyfriend. Vince snarled, still clutching his shoulder.
Youre fucking dead. She glared at Vince as I helped her to her feet. Isnt he? She said, looking up at me with a devilish grin that made my cock start to harden.
Absolutely.
You dont know who youre fucking with?
Yes, I do. Vincent DeLuca, son of Salvatore DeLuca, and for some reason, you think thats going to save you? I chuckled at his stupidity.
My father-
Will be dead by morning. Fox cut him off., If I hadnt been interrupted hed be dying right about now.
I saw the fear in DeLucas eyes he knew he was going to die. Youre lying. Fox reached into his pocket of his jacket and tossed a severed finger onto the floor in front of Vince. It was still wearing a signet ring with the letter D.
Vince reached for his gun.
I put a bullet in his hand, and he screamed in pain. Thats for the bruises on her neck.
Shes nothing but a whore. He screamed through his teeth.
Jasmine kicked him in the face and Vince fell back.
Say it again, and Ill cut out your tongue, I looked over at Jasmine.
He called me a bitch, too. She gives him a vicious kick to the ribs.
I loved seeing her like this. It showed me how dangerous she could be if she was ever pushed hard enough.
I pulled out my knife and knelt beside him. This is for my girl. I stabbed him in the thigh. Because I know she wants to see you bleed I stabbed him in the stomach. This is for the other girls you sold into slavery. I stabbed him in the chest. And this, this is for being a piece of shit who doesnt deserve another breath. I grabbed his head and sliced his throat.
Jasmine watched as Vinces blood pooled on the floor.
I hope you rot in hell, she said as Vince took his last breath.
She looked at me, and I saw nothing but love in her eyes. She didnt flinch at the violence. Id never loved anyone like her. She was perfect. I stood the knife still in my hand and pulled her in for a kiss.
