“Get her!” Karen exclaimed, her eyes gleaming with excitement. “Fuck that little slut! She deserves it!”
“That’s exactly what I’m going to do! All you bitches are the same—you all just need to get fucked.” Pate came towards her again but this time Molly was prepared. She waited until he was leaning over her and pistoned both legs straight out. She was still wearing her heels and one of them caught Pate in the stomach while the other went directly into his groin.
“Fuck! Son of a bitch!” he groaned, grabbing for his balls. “You little bitch—you fucking near castrated me!”
“Just leave me alone!” Molly rolled off the bed and made a run for it. She managed to get past Pate, who was still doubled over in pain, but Karen caught her by the shoulders and shoved her back down on the dirty mattress.
“I don’t think so, slut!” she snapped at Molly. “You can’t get away that easy!”
“No, she fucking can’t!” Mandrew Pate straightened up. He was wincing as he walked, but he was no longer incapacitated, Molly saw, her heart sinking. She must not have made a direct hit. She felt sick and shaky and scared but still she tried to keep from panicking.
“Don’t do this!” she told him. “I promise you my husband, Commander Torus, will come after you. He won’t believe I ran away. He’s going to come looking for me and he’s going to connect the dots and then you’re going to be in a hell of a lot of trouble!”
“I’m not scared of that fucking Kindred freak! If you think you can stop what’s coming to you, you’re wrong,” Pate snarled at Molly. “I was just going to have a little fun with you before, but now…now I’m really gonna make it hurt. You’re going to bleed, bitch! You’re—”
His words were interrupted by a hollow bang as the wooden door slammed open. Torus was suddenly there, filling the doorway. He didn’t say a word but his eyes were blood red and the look on his face froze Molly’s blood.
Clearly he was in Rage and this time there would be no stopping him from killing.

TORUS
The Rage was already on Torus because of what he’d heard as he ran into the small, deserted-looking building. He could hear Pate threatening his female—saying he was going to hurt and violate his Mate! The bloody curtain that covered his vision left no room for anything but vengeance.
Molly was on the bed with her breasts out and Pate was leaning over her, a lecherous look twisting his face into an ugly, leering mask. A woman who looked like Karen Geners was standing to one side, watching intently.
Torus was dimly aware of Karen gasping as she saw him come in. Pate looked up with a startled look on his face.
“What the f—” he started to say, and then Torus had him by the throat.
“You dared to touch my Mate,” he growled, his voice coming out so deep and angry it almost sounded like another language. “I warned you what would happen if you ever came near her again. Now you’re going to pay!”
He placed both hands on the sides of the puny human’s head. And then he began to squeeze, putting pressure on the skull. Pate gasped and began twisting in his grip.
“No, man—let me go! I didn’t mean anything by it! I was just going to scare her a little—I swear!”
“You lie,” Torus told him and then he felt the other male’s skull cracking between his palms. Pate’s eyes bulged out and one popped completely out of its socket. His scream rose to a shriek and then his entire head caved in like a rotten gourd and his voice cut off abruptly as he sagged in Torus’s big hands.
“No! Oh my God, you killed him!” he heard someone gasp.
“Torus, watch out—she’s got a gun! She’s right behind you!” Molly shouted.
Torus ducked instinctively just as he heard a loud bang! Something shot past him, grazing his shoulder, and splintered part of the doorframe behind him.
He dropped Pate’s limp form and whirled around, just in time to catch Karen Geners’s wrist and force it up as she was about to aim at him again.
“Let me go!” the girl shrieked. “Let me go—let me shoot her. You were mine before she came along! Just let me get rid of her and we can be together, Torus!”
Her words penetrated his Rage and Torus realized she hadn’t been aiming for him—she was trying to shoot Molly! He had never hurt a female before, but now he ruthlessly twisted her wrist.
Karen gave a cry and the gun fell from her hand and clunked on the floor. Torus let her go and she sank to her knees, clutching her wrist and sobbing.
“She stole you from me! You never wanted her until you saw that dirty video she sent you! You’re supposed to be mine—mine!” she shrieked at Torus.
