Shit, he wouldn’t even let me come to his home. Instead, he sent me one of his pussy men. Now I’m in this fucking shithole motel with that asshole outside my door and this dumb broad who doesn’t have a clue what she’s doing.
That’s what I get for paying a prostitute to come patch me up. I need to get this shit sealed up so I can get the fuck out of here and regroup.
I look at the clock. Another hour. I’ve survived another hour.
With each hour that has passed, I’m hopeful that I’ll get another to get the fuck out of New York. That Russian bitch isn’t answering my calls.
“You have to be still. I need to get the bullet out,” this whore says, popping her gum in my face.
I shrug her off. “Pass me that vodka,” I grunt.
She reaches for the bottle and then starts screaming. I turn to see what the fuck she’ll yelling for and find Danny glaring at me. She’s standing in the doorway, holding up my so-called bodyguard’s head. She has two big motherfuckers standing on either side of her. If I’m going to die, I at least want to do it in peace.
With my good arm, I slash the screaming whore’s throat. Ugh, the bitch can’t even die quietly. She is gurgling and gasping as the light fades from her eyes.
“Byron deserved to die as much as your father did. They were in the way. You can’t handle the responsibility of the horsemen, it was meant to be me,” I bellow.
“Do you understand what being the pale horse means?” she says emotionlessly.
“It means I would be the one with all the power. All of them, each and every one of our soldiers, would answer to me.” I seethe.
“Wrong again. My job is to execute. I represent death to those who believe they are above the law.
“Those who step out of line and place our family, our friends in danger. I make examples and evoke fear, so others don’t repeat the same mistakes. It’s not about power or money, it’s about respect and balance.”
“Either way it’s a man’s job. You can believe whatever you want,” I snarl.
“Um, we’ll see about that.”
“Fuck you, you cunt.”
Before the words are fully out of my mouth, a bag is thrown over my head. I try to fight, but someone digs their hand into the open wound in my shoulder, and I end up screaming in pain instead. The pain is blinding.

I tug on my gloves as the metal rack heats up in the fire. I have Myron in an old foundry, I needed the space for what all I have planned for him.
I have Myron restrained naked from the waist up. You would think piercing his back with thirty hot rings before stringing them with braided wire cable and hoisting him up by the rings would have been enough for me. However, he needs to be an example.
Once the protective gloves are on my hands, I reach for the rack and nod for Ronan to hoist Myron up higher. He grins and nods before raising the screaming bastard up a little more, so I have a view of his chest.
I look Myron right in the eyes. “You have any last requests or words you’d like to say?”
“Your mother is a whore, and your brother is a pussy. I should have fucked your sister while I had her. My father is justified in hating you all.
“Especially your whore mother. They’re coming for you, and you don’t even know it. You’re hiding for nothing, bitch,” he snarls.
“Oh, I thought you were going to say something worth hearing.” I shrug and lift the rake to thrust into his lower abdomen.
I bob my head and wiggle my neck to the sounds of his screams as if it’s music. Opening my mouth in a full, toothy smile, I drag the rake to his shoulder blades. Then I turn and dip my knee to lean in and use all my body weight to pull until I feel the rake catch under his chin and hear the snap of his neck.
“Aw, now that was satisfying,” I purr as I turn to find his head limp between his shoulders. “I want him hung up just like that over his daddy’s desk. Scoop up his insides and take them too. Let that motherfucker know I’m coming.”
CHAPTER 41
Family
Dean
“You look good,” I say to Lyric as he walks into my office at the penthouse.
“So do you. You look happy.”
“Nothing to complain about, so I guess you can say I am. Is Anika with you?”
Mom was so happy to find out about Lyric. We waited until he woke from his coma before we dropped that bomb on her. Dayton and Mom have been spending more time together, but Mom has been cautious.
