The Alpha's Saviour

Chapter 61 - Caught In Her Own Web

Jaycee's POV

If it wasn't for how badly Rachel treated everyone around her, I might have even felt sorry for her. It was clear Jeff was about to humiliate her, though she brought this upon herself. She spun a web so large and sticky it was only a matter of time before she got herself caught in it. 

"I will go around the circle and any guards who I feel aren't answering my questions honestly, will step into the middle and be subjected to.. that thing. Trust me you don't want that. It is the thing of nightmares." I don't miss the shudder Jeff tries to suppress, and by the looks of it, neither do most of the guards. 

"Take a small step forward if Rachel has instigated anything sexual with you, after being mated to Stuart." Jeff's question makes over half the guards laugh and the other few guards feel guilty. 

Everyone apart from two guards that previously worked on the other hidden end of the prison, stepped forward. Jeff approached the two who stood side by side with a brow raised.

The larger of the two projected guilt and worry, and the smaller felt disgust shimmering in his eyes as he stared down the she wolf. His response was one I looked forward to hearing. 
"Jinx, you didn't step forward, you haven't touched Rachel since being mated to Stuart?" Jeff asks the larger bulkier male.

"I.. ah have a mate Alpha." 
Jeff snorts. "So do a third of the men who stepped forward. What's your point?"

The man takes a cautious step forward and whispers something I can't make out. Whatever it was had Jeff's temper flaring. Before even the man could comprehend what is happening, Alpha Jeff throws his towards the tank filled with smoke. "I can let the secret you told me, die with you or you can come clean. I will ask again, did you do anything with Rachel sexually after she was mated?"

The large guy sheds a tear, as he takes a look to another guard standing a few feet away. "Tell Avery I'm sorry. It was a mistake." He says pleadingly. 

"You are no brother in law of mine. The man spits angrily, though his words were cut short as tendrils of violet swirl, making Jinx scream out in pain. Holes began to appear on his arms and legs making drops of blood run down his limbs. 

My attention drifts momentarily to the back of Viren, who stood a few steps before me slightly to my left. His tightly clenched fists hung stiffly at his sides, as his jaw ticks from the harsh way he grits his teeth. Before I could question it, a terrified howl tears through the quiet hall.

Puncture wounds appear all over Jinx's tanned skin, some overlapping others until there was more blood than flesh. I could see the illusion clear as day, see all the snakes biting him but it only got worse. To my surprise Viren's gaze wasn't on the thousands of snakes but on the ever growing pool of blood at the mans feet.

"That's strange." Frosts comments having mostly recovered thanks to our hearty meal. 

Another desperate howl draws my attention back to the poor guard enduring so much pain. Unfortunately for me his eyes find mine, latching onto me with barbs. My eyes widen as a brown snake with black spots slithered into his mouth, forcing it's way into his locked jaw and the tight muscle of his throat. I couldnt tear my gaze away no matter how hard I tried. I felt the burn as his soft flesh tore, bringing with it warm blood acting as lubricant, before the bones snapped at once giving way to the slithering serpent.

Serious panic set in as I found myself unable to breath. My hands clawed are my throat, a strangled gasp was the best I could manage to chase the black spots away from my vision. The torture was equally excruciating and debilitating, eliminating basic thoughts from my mind.

My shaky legs give out, but not before Viren's face and bright red eyes comes into view. His arms wrap around my waist sending comforting shockwaves through my body. His actions support me just enough to keep me standing before lowering me into a nearby chair.
