Savage Fae (Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac, #2)

by Caroline Peckham

“Now hurry up and get the feeling back into every muscle in your damn body.” “I think my dick’s working again, can you check?” I croaked.

I stifled a snarl as I spotted Ryder standing beside his second in command, Scarlett Tide, their backs to me as they stared down at the twenty or so members of the Oscura Clan they had lined up on the floor on their knees.

I tried to spot my uncle Felix amongst them, but he was either dead or he’d run for it.

“A morte e ritorno, carina. To death and back.”

“Your leader’s life for yours. Tell me where he is. And if you breathe a single fucking lie in my direction, I’ll have no mercy.”

I wouldn’t be fooled by tears and weakness. If they were touching, magic could pass hands, weapons too.

And I’d fucking still be standing by the time I found who’d done this. There was no chance in hell I was going to be murdered while I was out cold.

Dante shitting Oscura came at me with a wild look in his eyes. He locked one of his powerful arms around my throat, yanking backwards to try and bring me to the ground. “Co-ward,” I croaked through my lack of air and his eyes narrowed.

Dante came at me again, claiming my attention once more and I released a wave of earth magic to make the ground rock beneath his feet. He managed to launch himself back at me, throwing a fist into my face.

My eyes found Elise like a magnet was dragging me toward her.

“I’ll give you one minute without me using magic,” I told him. “I want to feel your bones crack under my bare hands.” “Stupido bastardo,” he laughed, wiping the blood from a deep cut beneath his eye, but it kept coming.

I would never admit it, but Inferno was the only worthy opponent I’d ever had, even if he was a lowlife piece of Oscura shit.

he threw punches at my face while I laughed and fucking laughed.

“Stop!” Elise’s voice reached me, my ears still ringing from the blows Inferno had landed.
