Shackled (The Lord Series)

53. Angel

Reyes grips the wheel hard. His knuckles turn white, and he drives out of the garage. “I did hate you for

the guitar. It belonged to my brother. But my demon and I need you more. And you are neither stup id nor

a cu nt. You are my mate. My other half.”

I short but quickly cover my mouth, not wanting to provoke more of Reyes’ wrath. When he doesn’t lash

out, I lower my hands.

What mind games is he playing right now? Does he actually think I will believe I am his other half? I am

just a… stu pid cu nt, with a loose passy.

“You have a brother?” I am even afraid to speak to Reyes, but the idea of him being quiet is even scarier.

Who knows what he will be plotting, then?

Reyes grips the wheel even harder. I should have kept my mouth shut. “Had. He died because of me six

years ago. If I had done my part right, as my father had told me, he would have been here with you

today. You would have been his hellstar. He would have probably recognized you as his half long before

the bond snapped in Two.” He stops at a red light and turns to look at me, “I will Ex the bond, I don’t

know how, but I will do it.” He gently strokes my hair.

Blood keeps coming out of the many cuts I have, and I look at it transfixed. How much blood does a

person have to lose before they die? “I am sorry for your brother. I should have never broken the guitar”

A nervous laugh leaves my lips. “No wonder you hate me,”

Cold fingers cupped my right cheek, kecing me to look at him. He claims my mouth, his k*ss adding to

my pain. “I know how badly I f ucked up, and I probably don’t deverve another chance, but I will undo the

damage I did. He coles my bottom lip with his mouth. “Once I take care of your feet and hands, we can

snugde in bed and watch TV while eating ice cream Or whatever you want.”

I shrug. “I don’t care.” Decause I don’t. Except for dying. That’s the only thing I want right now.

The traffic light turns green. “I know the broken bond hurts like hell, but once we are home, I will make

sure you feel better,” he says as he presses the acceleration pedal and steers the car to the left.

I will never be better. Not after everything that has happened. I glance out the window. The relection of a

broken woman, once full of life and hope, stares back at me. I hate myself so much.

“What is this bond you keep talking about?” I ask, wanting to distract myself from the pain in my

“It’s a link that connects my soul and those of my blood-brothers to yours. Our bond was fragile, as it

usually takes from a few days to a few weeks for it to become permanent. So, when we punished you in

front of everyone, it broke. We knew it could happen, and we still went through with it. I think, in a way,

we wanted it to happen. Go d, how stu pid we were. Being a hellstar makes you more sensitive to

emotions, and your pain is ten times worse than mine.”

I am not sure if Reyes is crazy or on drugs. Humans don’t have banihs with other people. Not in the way

Reyes suggests. “Oh,”

Reyes drives to one of the safest areas of Voross City and parks in the garage of a residential complex.

“I think you are going to like the apartment. It has two floors and it’s big enough to turn into a Lair and

raise a little family in it. If you want that,” he adds, looking at me.

Tears stung my eyes, and a lump formed in my throat. “I don’t care.

Why would he want a family with someone like me?

He clasps his right hand behind my neck and pulls me to him. “I hate seeing you in so much pain.”

“Then kill me and put me out of my misery.”

“I will make things right.” He k*sses me, his tongue finding its way into my mouth.

I want him to stop, to not touch me anymore. Can’t be see how much it hurts me?

He breaks the k*ss a few moments later. “We need to get out of the car, or else I will f uck you right

here.” He is breathing hard. “If you weren’t hurt, I would not have thought twice and just done it.”

“Why would you want to f uck a loose pus sy”?”

“Stop that!” he growls, making me flinch. Then in a more gentle tone, he adds, “While I have not been
