"Please-please don't cut off my
hand!"
The desperate plea echoed through the dark chamber, bouncing off the cold stone walls. The scent of damp earth
and blood filled the air, thick and suffocating. The torches lining the walls
flickered weakly, casting long, jagged shadows across the room.
In the center, kneeling on the rough
ground, was a man drenched in sweat. His body trembled violently, his wrists
bound behind his back with thick iron cuffs. His eyes, wide with terror, darted
around the room, searching for mercy in faces that held none. He knew he was in big trouble, and there was no way he would come out of it alive.
He had been starved for days, without food or water. He swallowed
hard, trying to wet his dry throat as he stared up at the silhouette of the
monster before him. The devil, as they would call him.
A heavy silence followed. A deafing silence, one which could make you wonder, what was gonna happen next.
Then, his voice came....
A low, amused chuckle.

Pathetic. That's what he thought about the fucking traitor. The fool thought, he could betray his pack, and walk away freely, and now, here he was begging for his life.
The traitor nodded frantically. "I
promise, Alpha. I'll do anything. I'll go back, I'll get the intel. Just please, spare me". He pleaded, crying bitterly.
Killian exhaled, sitting back in his chair, his sharp gaze fixed on the man before him. He wasn't in a rush. He
enjoyed watching his prey squirm, relished the taste of their fear.
It was intoxicating. It satisfies him when they begged for mercy, it made him feel like a god, and he was one, both in the human realm, and in the supernatural realm.
"I sent you on a mission, to our rival pack," he mused, his voice calm, deliberate. "A mission that required nothing but stealth, precision, and loyalty."
The kneeling man shuddered, his head bent in shame.
