“Well, there is a myth, brother. A myth older than this pack, older than our father, older than the crown they put on your head like you were born for it. They say if you drink an Alpha’s blood, you become immortal. That the strength of his life seeps into yours and carries you beyond the reach of death itself.”
His grin spread sharp and wide when I said nothing, when I only lay there with my own blood bubbling in my chest like lava waiting to spill.
“I know you never heard of it,” Darren said, twisting the blade again.
“Because you have always been the foolish one. The good son. The perfect Alpha Damon who believed every law, every story, every line they ever fed you while I was crawling through the shadows learning what they did not want us to know.”
He leaned close until his mouth was right beside my ear. “Do you know what my wolf wants to do to you right now, Damon?”
“He wants to carve you open from your throat to your gut and devour your organs while you are still alive enough to feel it. He wants to chew through your ribs and drink your heart just like I drank our father’s.”
He smiled wider. “And do you want to know why?” he asked, leaning close enough that his breath touched my cheek
“Because he is tired of carrying your fucking face. He wants to eat you whole so that the last thing you ever feel is the truth you were too blind to see your whole life: that I was always here, brother. Always right behind you. Always ready to take what should have been mine.”
“On second thought…”
‘‘I will not kill you yet, brother,”
“No, that would be too easy for you. Too merciful. You deserve to feel the dirt closing over you, to feel the weight of the earth crush the air out of your lungs while you lie there alive enough to know this is the end. I will bury you myself. 1 will make sure the last thing you hear before the dark takes you is the sound of my voice and the memory of everything you lost.”
He laughed. “And guess what, brother,” he said softly, twisting the blade just to feel my body jerk under him.
“You see Lyra? Your precious mate? Your perfect Luna? I promise you, Damon, I am going to fuck her so hard you will hear her scream through the soil after they bury you. You will hear her calling your name from the grave while I am inside her. You will hear her beg and cry and break while you lie dead and helpless in the ground you used to own.”
I could feel his smile stretch wider against my cheek, his breath warm as he went on. “She will scream so loud the whole pack will hear her,” Darren said, his tone lifting now, louder.
“They will hear her scream my name while the bond you thought made her yours snaps inside her chest like a rotten rope. I will take her pussy in my hands and finger her till she cums. I will mark her until she wears my scent like a crown. I will make her carry my children just so the whole world knows she belongs to me now.”
“You want to know why?” Darren asked, his voice shaking now, not with hesitation but with the rage of a man who has been waiting years to spit all of this into the world.
