off some of the air. “Maybe I want your blood on my hands or maybe I want to fuck you to death.” He squeezed harder, watching as she struggled to breath. When she looked like she might pass out, he let go of his grip. His hand stayed there. “The Five , they call themselves. They make the rules, then they break them.” That hand slid down her throat to the shirt she put on after Jonah left. His shirt. Grabbing the front, he ripped it down, exposing her breasts. “Such fucking hypercritics.”
“What’d you want from me?” she yelled, desperation in her voice.
Those cold eyes of his moved down with the hand. It closed over one breast, squeezing it until it hurt. “I want the Five to pay for what they did to my family.” Another brutal squeeze and he let her go, turning his back to her and walked away, back to the fire.
“What are you talking about?”
He turned again, this time his eyes held such cruelty that she shivered.
“Number six.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Tears filled up in her eyes. “I don’t know anything about any of them.”
“Yeah, I’m sure you don’t. You’re just his bitch.”
“I swear to you, I don’t know shit about any of them. I just moved here.”
“Then I guess you had better learn fast. There were six, not five families and they destroyed mine!” he growled, his face getting red with his anger. “Now the sins of the father will be passed down. Just like they did to mine.”
Alesha was unable to hold back her fear, or her tears. She broke down, a silent cry. She was about to confront him once again, but stopped when she heard something move in the bushes behind her. He also heard it because he stiffened.
Everything around them went dead quiet and still. Nothing in the woods moved and Alesha became so afraid she didn’t want to breathe. He took only one step toward her and all hell broke loose.
This giant black as night jaguar leapt from the woods. The paw touched the ground only once before he leaping up in the air again, coming down on the naked man. Alesha couldn’t help herself, she screamed. Watching and struggling with the rope around her wrists as the animal attacked the guy.
The jaguar bit down on the man’s leg and he howled in pain. How in the world he managed to free his leg, she didn’t know. But when he did, he scrambled to his feet and backed away and that black beast slowly circled him, waiting to lunge again.
“Just like you fuckers,” the man snarled. “Attack when one has their back to you.”
The jaguar lunged again, only this time the man was ready for it. He did a back flip high in the air and right before her eyes shifted from a human into a jaguar. It landed with a soft thud on the ground and charged the black one.
They rolled around, biting, thrashing, and scratching each other. Blood everywhere, but Alesha couldn’t tell who was bleeding.
More rolling, more snarling with growling and hissing, then the two lunged at each other at the same time, hit the ground hard and rolled out of sight. Alesha couldn’t see anything and really started to panic.
She looked up at her wrists pulling as hard as she could to free herself. Just when she thought she might have one free a very loud yelp rang out and everything went quiet once more. Still, she held her breath waiting, not knowing what to expect.
Time seemed to stand still, seconds felt like hours. From the other side of the clearing the black jaguar prowled, walking slow, steady, yet had this power about him. Golden eyes landed right on her and her mouth went dry. First thought, it’s going to kill her for sure.
He stopped right next to the fire, a snarl came out of him, showing very large teeth, his head went down and she could hear the crunching of bones. Front legs dropped as did the top half of the body. In fact, it started to stretch outward, the legs forming into arms, paws
