Alpha’s Rue: His Shunned Luna (Athena Enchanted) novel Chapter 407

Blood sprays on my boot and hand, and I wipe it on the coat that he doesn't deserve. His screams turn broken, guttural and animalistic, bouncing off the walls. With the way he screams, I’m surprised no one has made it to the office yet.

“Pick it up,” I tell him, stepping away from him.

“Al-alp-ha,” he cries out, his hands covering the wound in an attempt to stop the bleeding.

“Now,” I demand. “Pick it up and put it in your mouth. You need to eat it.”

“I..I’m so..so..so..rr..”

I crouch down, “If you don’t pick it up and chew, I’m going to kill you, James. Do not tempt me.” I warn, but he’s dead either way. He put his hands where they didn’t belong, tried to put his dick where she’d never want it.

The image of her just lying unconscious where he touched her skin and his filthy dick flickers in my mind, and I reach for the dagger again. I want to wring his neck, but no, that’s too easy. I’m going to traumatise and torture him until he begs to die, and even then, I won't let him die.

He saw her medical records, he saw how badly being molested affected her and still had the bright idea to try raping her. I flicker it towards him, and with shaky hands, he takes it. Only then do I rise, unable to look at him out of disgust. Last night, I threw up when I saw blood, but my stomach seems to hold just fine now.

James keeps choking on his flesh, gagging and howling in pain while I stare at the screen. There’s new footage there, Aeliana is asleep again, and he is sitting beside her, using her limp hand to stroke himself. I can not let him breathe the same air as her, I’ve seen enough. I grab my lean down again, dragging my blade across his chest.

“Kingston!” Someone snaps, I turn around to find Maddox at the door, eyes wide with horror. “I— What the fuck?” His eyes drop to James. “Shit,” he gags, just dry heaving. Now that the door is open, I hear people outside, and the security rushes in. I rise, grateful for the reality check because I still need this bastard to suffer some more.

“What-what happened?” He chokes, his face twisting with disgust. “I left you for like twenty minutes!”

I motion to the screen, flinging the dagger there when Maddox finally sees what James was doing to Aeliana. The dagger cracks through the cheap screen, and it goes black. He not only assaulted her but also humiliated her. The security staff have seen it, and so has Maddox. No one dares say anything, they simply shut the door behind them.

“Don’t let him die, I want him alive,” I demand. “He has a very bright future in the dungeon.”

“Get the nurse,” he tells the security guards. “And bring me some scrubs.”

We switch clothes, but even with the unstained, fresh clothing on me, I can still smell death on me. The stench of his blood is pungent. I go looking for Aeliana again, and this time I find her by the water foundation.

Guilt claws at my chest when I see her.

She’s with the same nurse from earlier, both of them sulking about something. My steps are heavy with shame. Aeliana startles when she sees me in front of her. “Hey,” I whisper, dropping to my knees before her.

She frowns, her head tilting like she’s trying very hard to decipher what is happening. She must not know what that sick bastard did. “Do I know you?” She asks, scooting to her left.
