Chapter 16: Moi

I stay huddled in my corner, Kate in hers tapping her nails against the adjacent wall as if willing the night away. My anxiety is at it's highest even as I watch in terror as Jax awakens, his head lolling around before his eyes open, this time completely black. A smile spreads against his face as he takes both of us in, a predator stalking prey. I've never felt this petrified in my life, I couldn't stop myself from shivering as if we were the ones bound and at his mercy.

Would the ropes even keep him?

"Boo! " he teases and I yelp, rushing further away from him, Jaxon's callous laughter booming around the room in violent echoes. "Ah, such good entertainment. "

"Ha, ha," Kate cackles and my eyes bug.

Why the hell would she attempt to frustrate him?

Jax glances at his mate from the sides of his eyes, contempt written in his disposition as a scowl crawls to his face.

"I will kill you." He growls.

"I'm doing you a favor. " She responds.

"Untie me and I might forgive your insolence. "
