Shackled (The Lord Series)

Rueben

When Tyson and Jasper told me what we were doing on Christmas Eve, I had a moment when I thought they were also on the verge of madness. I accepted to go hunting bit ches in the forest because I had nothing better to do, and I was also intrigued by the entire concept. Sounds more like a Halloween night than something related to Christmas, but trust the Dukes to turn everything into something resembling a horror movie. Being so close to giving in and letting my demon consume me, the pain and suffering of others brings me joy.

Many of the Lords think Reyes Ortiz, a Lord who belongs to another blood-brothers group, is f**ked up in the head because they don’t know the dark desires that reside in my heart.

Nothing gets me harder than a bi tch crying while I f**k her. I wasn’t always like this, but it took only one f**king bi tch to alter me forever.

Olivia ‘Disease Cu nt’ Deymar.

Never in a million years would I guess that the woman my blood-brothers and I caught to have fun with would be Olivia, the person I loath with every cell of my b*dy and the person I swore to make pay for taking my sister away from me.

Camila was amazing. She made anyone’s life better just by being in it. When she told me about her new friend, Olivia, and that she was the daughter of Senator Deymar, I told her to be careful because the Dukes are not to be trusted. But I fell for Olivia’s charms, too, as she was a very bubbly person and always had a smile on her face. It will be my pleasure to break her, and when she has no more tears left and begs me on her knees to put an end to her miserable existence, I will finally plunge a knife deep into her heart.

Olivia’s b*dy slumps forward, and I let her fall, but not before I check for a pulse, fearing Ansel kicked her so hard he killed her, robbing me of my vengeance.

Jasper runs his hand through his hair. “This is not what I had in mind when I planned this.”

Mose keeps pointing the flashlight at Olivia. “Bet you only thought about catching some chick and f**k her in the snow before taking her home to be our Lady.”

Tyson kicks the snow. “It would have worked if the women were healthy and not ruined by other men.”

Jasper picks Olivia up. “Are you sure she is the one who killed your sister?”

“You think I won’t recognize the bi tch who destroyed everything around me?”

The day after Camila’s burial, my mother took her own life, and my fathers drowned their pain in alcohol and work until they, too, died not long ago, leaving me the sole responsible for bringing to justice the one who destroyed not only my family but my life as well.

“Did she ever tell you why she did it?” Jasper asks.

“You think I care why she did it? The only thing I care about is making her suffer for not only killing my sister but breaking my parents’ hearts.” Women screaming and begging for their lives can be heard coming from behind the trees, followed by men laughing. “We should return to the farm.”

“Are you sure you want to do this?” The loss of his first blood-brothers made Jasper question every decision I make, not wanting history to repeat itself.

Knowing how badly Jasper wants a family, I say, “Once I am done with Olivia, we can start the family we dreamed of.”

A Lady to warm up my bed and children to fill the house with laughter had been the wish of a much younger me. I no longer want those things, I only want to make Olivia pay so I can finally find peace.

Jasper glances down at Olivia. Her b*dy is covered in bruises and cuts. Looks like I am not the only one with a vendetta against her. “Fine. But I only ask that you don’t kill her until she tells us what she knows about her family and Carlos de la Torre.”

A rumble coming from my demon, lets me know he agrees with Jasper.

“What makes you think she knows anything about Carlos?” Tyson asks.

“Just a hunch,” replies Jasper.

It didn’t even cross my mind that Olivia might know anything about Carlos, but Jasper’s demon can ‘sense’ things. Reyes and his blood-brothers are looking for Carlos after he tortured Reyes’s woman and put the videos of her being humiliated during one of the Dukes’ gatherings all over the internet. It took the Elders and one of the best hackers, Cirro, about a week to eliminate those videos not only from the internet but any phone that had them saved up.

“Besides, Carlos and Senator Deymar are very close. Not to mention, we can use her to blackmail her father,” Jasper

adds.

“Her father doesn’t care about her,” Tyson says.

“True, but imagine how his political career would be affected if we leak videos of her on the internet sucking our co cks.” After a few moments, Jasper adds, “Think of what the Dukes will say when they see Olivia riding us and begging for our c um. What do you think will happen when videos of us f**king her in the dirt like the wh ore she appear all over the internet?”

The loathing I have for this woman makes me sick when thinking about f**king her, Jasper might have a point. Senator Deymar has an impeccable political career, and despite all the attempts made by the Elders to find something in his personal life that would make him renounce his seat, nothing ever came to light. From the outside, he has the perfect life and family, but I know the truth, especially about Olivia. Her crime has been covered up, and a lie about her going to study in Europe had been told to the press a few days after Camila’s death.

Besides, my demon doesn’t seem in a rush to kill her, even if he hates her as much as I do.

What should I do?
