me to take part in his games of pain and torture.
    When they stepped closer, I kicked his leg. He crashed to the ground and I struck him. I was going for another thrash when Gabriella grabbed me from behind by the throat. “Play nice dear, or we won’t either,” she threatened against my ear.
    “It was just a love tap.” He knelt in front of me, leaned in, and then ran his tongue along the side of my face. I cringed and tried to punch him, but Gabriella grabbed my hand and held it to the ground.
    “I like you too,” he stated in a deep throaty whisper near my jaw, cool lips brushed my skin.
    He was positioned well enough so that with one kick, I could have him doubled over in pain from a groin assault. Before I could make my move, a loud cracking sound resonated. Gabriella shrieked, releasing her grip on me. The black-haired vampire pulled me close; his grip was tight as it looped around me fastening my arms to my side. Flailing back and forth, I tried to pull away. He let out several painful hisses when I slammed my foot down on his.
    “Control yourself. We can play later,” he cooed in a husky voice. When I continued to struggle, he sunk his teeth into my shoulder. Like a piercing knife, it seared through my muscles penetrating my flesh. I blinked back tears and struggled harder against him.
    “Quiet now,” he grumbled pulling me closer. His body tensed, the long muscles of his neck protruded as the frown marred his face. Distracted by whatever was going on in front of him, he worked hard to make the muscles relax. Another loud crack resonated through the air, followed by a painful groan.
    Crack! Winter stood over Gabriella as she lay on the ground. Her foot placed on Gabriella’s torso. Crack! She had meticulously broken Gabriella’s arms in multiple places. Moving with the swift grace of someone who had done this before, she slinked behind Gabriella placing a knife firmly to her neck. Gabriella struggled to lift her arms but it was a futile attempt. Winter had rendered them dysfunctional.
    A cruel assurance covered her face as she smiled. “Chase, let her go or your Gabriella will be a distant memory of a love you use to have,” Winter stated ominously.
    He let out an angry sound before violently biting down into my shoulder again. My body clenched as I swallowed back a scream.
    Winter countered by pressing the knife into Gabriella’s neck. Thin red streaks of blood ran down it. “How long have you been together? Forty, fifty years? She knows all the weird things you like. From what I hear, they are quite sick, yet she still loves you. How long do you think it will be before you find someone like her again? How empty was your life before her? Own those memories because if you don’t let her go you will return to that life of loneliness.” Winter challenged.
    She looked at him with a cynical smirk as she waited for him to respond. Her mannerisms were cruel and expectant. Yearning for him to think just a second too long or ponder his love for Gabriella for more time then she deemed acceptable, so that she could finish the job. The obvious adoration for violence and torture covered her face. Flickers of delight bounced around in her eyes, making the terror she invoked surreal.
    Chase’s hold loosened but not enough for me to break it. Gabriella’s face twisted into an angry frustrated grimace as she looked at him. But with all the emotions displayed on her face, she never showed any form of doubt. It was as though she knew that Chase would do anything for her and her fate was secure.
    “Let Skylar go, Chase, and we will let you go unscathed to nurse Gabriella’s wounds. You know she’s just looking for a reason. Don’t’ give her one,” Ethan urged, walking toward him. A young man stood behind Winter, his eyes fixed on the hairless vamp, who started to slowly advance toward them. Chase released me, throwing me to the ground. He ran toward Gabriella, and Winter moved aside, allowing him to sweep her
