Heat
Jonas’ POV
I landed a swift punch to his jaw before he could finish explaining. I had not been this furious for a long while now, and if this wasn’t of utmost importance, I might have enjoyed the rush of anger.
He landed to the floor as I landed the second blow, knocking a few teeth out of his mouth.
“A-alpha w-we didn’t expect them to-”
Before he could finish I placed all my weight on his chest, pressing down until he couldn’t breathe. Still furious, I beckoned the guards. “Heat up the furnace!”
Before I was finished talking they had run off to obey my commands. I glared at my gamma who still lay crumpled on the floor.
I pulled him to his feet easily. “You had just one job, you incompetent idiot! One job! What kind of idiots do I have around me? Do I have to do every fucking thing myself?!”
He whimpered in response and I could feel myself losing it. “Do you have any idea how much that deal was worth, you incompetent bastard?”
How was transporting already weakened werewolves from the hideout to their required location a big deal? It wasn’t the first time they had failed me, and I had been patient enough. But I had had it up to here. Yes, I had also had the rumors of some cocksucker people had nicknamed The Silver Ghost.
Apparently this bastard, whoever they were, had been keeping an eye on us and had monitored the dynamics of my business. For the past few times I had ordered them to change their location, be more careful and watchful. But every single time they arrived to transport the wolves, they were nowhere to be found. Apparently, this Silver Ghost always found them first and released them before my men could arrive. My business was quickly going downhill due to this problem. And although I had equipped the team with more warriors, they had never managed to capture this bastard alive.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
My chest burned as I wondered who would dare to insult me like this? Who dared to cross me, interfere with my plans and my business. I needed to find whoever it was and teach them the lesson of their life. And I needed to do it quickly. Seeing that it was a matter for me to handle on my own as usual, I began to work up a plan in my head.
Another whimper from the man of the floor distracted me. Anger rushing through me, I dragged him by his right arm and proceeded to the furnace. The coals were red hot, just like I wanted. I nodded to them to throw in the silver chains as well. I patiently waited until the chains begin to rattle from the heat as it burned. When I was satisfied, I lifted him up, ignoring his cries of pleas, and tossed him into the furnace.
His deafening shrieks as he burned in the furnace sent a tingle of pleasure down my spine. Breathing in deeply, I turned to the rest of them.
“If you desire the same fate as him, keep up your incompetence.”
I walked briskly out of the room and proceeded to draft up my plan.
