shift. Finally, he would have someone to take the brunt of his pent-up aggression.
He smiled coldly when Factor, his lead tracker, emerged from the woods, pulling a tall, muscular man who was struggling and snarling. The energy between Torch and Boulder thrummed with tension when they realized who the man was. It was none other than Nick, Mason’s second-in-command and best friend.
“You damn bastard. You betrayed her!” Kara screeched at Nick as she tried to run past them, but they both blocked her path, but not for her safety. With a silent nod at each other, they agreed that Boulder would take care of Nick. Nick was huge, but Boulder was bigger.
“We have her now, and Mason’s never going to let her go,” Nick yelled, struggling to get out of Factor’s grip, but Factor was unyielding with the gun he pressed to the man’s temple. “By the time you find her, she’ll be mated to Mason and under his control. She’s…”
Boulder had heard enough, and with pure brute force, he slammed Nick against a tree, crushing his throat with sheer brutality. Torch, Cruz, and Factor watched with bloodthirsty smiles, enjoying Boulder’s attack.
“You took my mate!” Boulder roared, unrelenting with his hold on Nick’s larynx.
An evil smile broke across Nick’s face. “I’m enjoying seeing you suffer, wolf. And you’ll suffer even more when Mason claim’s your mate .” He croaked.
Boulder smashed Nick’s head against the tree so hard that bark went flying.
“Where’s Infinity?” Boulder spat at him.
Nick spit in his face. “Fuck you, wolf. I’m not telling you shit.” He sneered, spitting blood in the air with every word he spoke.
Boulder’s apple-green eyes were like glaciers. Infinity already had major trust issues, and with Nick and Mason’s ultimate betrayal, she was probably confused and scared. He wanted to hurt them like they hurt his woman.
In a low voice, he dished out Nick’s fate. “Tonight you will die. I am going to make you regret betraying my mate. And when I watch the life drain from your body, you better beg the Immortals for mercy on your pathetic soul.” He banged Nick’s head. “Now, when I let you go, I want you to run… and run fast because your worthless life will end in the next couple of minutes.”
Boulder released him. Nick didn’t waste any time and tore through the woods with clothes sailing through the air, preparing to shift.
Boulder ripped off his pants and dress shirt within mere seconds, instantly shifting into his wolf. Howling, he took off running through the woods. His wolf wove through the trees, scenting his prey. He stopped, bending low against the moss-covered ground, hearing Nick’s low roar in the shadows. Racing at full throttle, he took off toward his kill. The image of Infinity’s face raced through his mind, fuelling his fury and the need to avenge their betrayal. He wanted Mason’s blood coating his tongue, but Nick’s would suffice… for now.
Fearlessly, he bounded into the shadows, and the whitetiger roared loudly, backing up a few steps. The thrill of the hunt raced through his veins. He knew the tiger felt his eminent death. He padded toward Nick, growling menacingly. The tiger roared as if provoking his wolf to attack with haste, but his wolf was smart. He wanted no mistakes. He wanted Nick to die a slow, painful death.
Circling Nick, Boulder bared his teeth. Moving forward, he snapped, ripping off a huge chunk of Nick’s fur. Blood sprayed onto the ground. Nick whined in pain but did not retreat. The huge tiger advanced with speed, snapping at his body. Teeth sliced Boulder’s flank as blood and fur flew in the air. His wolf stayed strong, refusing to let the burning pain detract him from his goal. He leaped forward, his teeth clamping onto Nick’s pelt. He roared, trying hard to shake Boulder off, but he held on, sinking his teeth even farther into the hard tissue.
Nick tried to maneuver away in a tight circle, a fatal mistake he
