When the male stopped thrashing Jared tossed him on the ground and swore viciously as he pulled a phone from his pocket and snapped a couple of pictures. He slashed the arteries of male number two then pried open their mouths and broke off their fangs. He took a moment to bring his fury under control before turning toward his shaking female.
She had her arms wrapped around her knees, and the tears sliding down her face caused his fury to spike. He wanted to kill the fuckers all over again, but far less quickly. He took a deep breath and let it out slowly before striding over and scooping her up. “You’re safe now,” he whispered, and blurred them back to Boston.
Jess sprang to her feet as Jared thundered into the hotel room with Anna in his arms.
“Is she okay?” she squeaked.
He put Anna on her feet and pulled out his phone, handing it to Michael. “Do you know them?”
Michael’s eyes widened in shock as he looked at the pictures. “Thomas and Jonathan.”
“They were working for someone,” Jared growled and recounted what had been said. “I should have tortured the information from them but every breath they took was an assault on me.” He ground his teeth together in anger.
Jess had Anna wrapped in a hug and Jared turned towards them, struggling to bring his emotions under control. “Did they come to the door?”
Anna stared at the floor and chewed her lip, she definitely did NOT want to tell her furious mate she’d disobeyed him. But she was done lying to him. Tears stung her eyes as she shook her head slightly.
Jared crossed to her and lifted her off her feet by the collar of her shirt, bringing her eye level. “How did they get to you?” he gritted.
The tears sprung free and slid down her face. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” she stammered, “I h..heard Scottish music, I was only going to have one drink….
“You left the hotel?” he roared into her face then turned towards the others. “Get out! NOW!”
The room emptied and his lips pulled back from his teeth as he shook her. “You disobeyed me,” he hissed.
She whimpered and he dropped her to the ground pacing away from her before he did something he’d regret. The terror he’d felt for her as the jet was shooting across the sky returned and washed over him in a wave. He forced himself to face away from her, his large hands clenching into fists that wanted to punish her.
He spoke icily without turning. “Go into the bedroom and don’t you dare come out.”
Anna darted into the room and climbed on the bed, tears of regret sliding down her face. She heard the door to the suite shut and wondered where he was going and how long it would take him to forgive her.
He left because he was afraid he’d hurt me, she acknowledged and shivered. She had forgotten what his anger was like and was infinitely sorry to be reminded of it.

Tyros rolled off the female to grab his phone, ignoring her sound of protest. He looked at the I.D. which stated unknown caller. It could only be Demetrius or a wrong number since he hadn’t given his digits to anyone else. He took a moment to grab Alyssa’s head and push it towards his groin. Once her lips closed over him he answered.
“Hello.”
“Tyreguent.” Demetrius’s voice was filled with banked fury.
“What is it?”
“Two of the fucking fools I had in my employ are dead. It seems,” he gritted, “that the jet they were to have boarded with the female had some technical difficulties and they were caught by her male when they attempted to flee in a van.”
Tyros raised his eyes to the ceiling his mouth curved in a smirk. “I hope you hadn’t planned on bringing her straight to Asaria, you do realize a mated male cannot be kept away from his female by any amount of wards.”
“Do you dare call me an idiot? I had a perfect. Fucking. Plan. But they lost our best opportunity and the chances of finding another are slim to fucking none!”
“What exactly do you want me to do about it, or did you just call to vent?” He grabbed a handful of Alyssa’s black hair and urged her take in more of him while he waited for Demetrius to finish swearing a blue streak.
His brother’s voice was a bit calmer when he spoke again. “She knows you. They are not aware of your betrayal, you can resume your place with them fairly easily. You’re the best chance I have in accomplishing my goals.”
Tyros inwardly snorted knowing if he were to get involved in his brother’s crusade it would not be in his best interest for him to show his face around his former acquaintances. No, but he did know of a way he could help. He watched the head bobbing in his lap for a few seconds then held the phone away and instructed her to swallow. She did, convulsively, and he shot his load down her throat, his back arching off the bed.
“Good girl,” he groaned, before returning his attention to the phone.
“I’ll think about it,” he told his brother, then hung up before he could respond.
