Chapter 185 Soren’s Sacrifice

For the next two days, Madalynn and Behar pulled Ethan out several times, every few hours, beat, whipped, or otherwise tortured him, and then put him back in the cage and went off to have their fun.

In that time, Ethan didn‘t get a single bite to eat or a drop of water to drink, though his flesh was burned time and time again with the boiling water, and he was doused with freezing water as well, but nev er allowed to drink it.

By the end of the second night, most of Behar and Madalynn‘s wolves were practically passed out with happiness–and maybe some liquor I had snuck in.

Once I felt the coast was clear, I went over to the cage with a small cup of water. “Hey, here,” I said. “Drink this.”

I managed to pour a few drops of water into his mouth before he gestured for me to go away.

“Jack*ss, you‘re going to die,” I whispered through my gritted teeth. I was somewhat angry at him.

If he wanted to do something for Rosalie, he should stay by her bed in case she woke up. At least that way he could spend some time with her knowing how much he weighed in her heart!

Instead, he was here.

No one asked him to do all of this! He came up with this insane plan and made it seem that he was do ing some huge sacrifice for everyone.

But who the heck really needed him as a sacrifice?

Was he really that arrogant to think he was the only one capable of winning the war? Or did he have to act like a hero so that everyone could admire him?

I just didn‘t get it.

Nodding his head slightly and smearing a streak of blood across the bottom of the cage, he said, “No, l‘ m not going to die. I‘ve got more important things to do than dying.”

“Listen, I can get you out of here right now…” However, even I knew that wouldn‘t be a good idea.

“No… just… get them to attack as soon as possible, okay?” Ethan asked me.

I nodded. It was time. By now, Talon could‘ve built a trench the size of the ocean….

I realized, though, in order to get Behar to attack the next day, I needed to make him think it was his idea.

Early the next morning, Behar and Madalynn came out of their tent, still kissing and groping one anoth

Now was the time to make my move. “Behar,” I said, “do what you want, but I just wanted to let you know that Ethan won‘t last long.”

He scowled at me. “Go away, little b*tch.”

“All right.” I shrugged and walked away.

A moment later, Behar‘s voice rang behind me. “Get back here! Where are you going?”

I grunted. “I was just about to tell King Kal what‘s going on. No offense, you have fun playing with Ethan‘s dead body all you want now, but I‘ll need to figure something else out that could actually help win the war.”

His mate growled at me, but I ignored her. Behar was staring at me, either contemplating my words or completely ignoring me.

So… I tried some reverse psychology on him. “Also, if your troops aren‘t ready to face the Winter Forest pack and need some more time, maybe you should rest up and try it some time later.“.

“Tomorrow?” Behar burst out laughing, “That‘s why you are a little b*tch! My warriors will be ready in just under an hour and we can get this all over with!”

“Really?” I subtly challenged him.

“Little bitch, you just watch!”

I almost rolled my eyes.

Behar now finally remembered that he needed to attack before word got to Kal. He knew if he really killed Ethan like this, Kal would not be pleased with him wasting such a good pawn.

Timing was working well for us, so I didn‘t argue.

“Get ready! We will attack in an hour!” Behar sent an order to his men and glared at me. “Are you plan ning on moving in with us?”

“Hey, I brought you this prize! I‘m going to stay with him to see the results of my hard work!”

He and his mate both shook their heads at me but gave a signal for the guards to move the cage out of the camp.copy right hot novel pub
