mouth , just leave us alone.”
    “Get her the fuck out of here.” Jared roared not caring which one did it as long as they got her out of harm’s way. This could get ugly real fast and probably would.
    Sid picked her up walking away with her clawing and kicking.
    “Don’t hurt her.” Adam started to fight, but soon lost his gusto as Jared squeezed tighter . “Just don’t hurt her.” He wheezed.
    “No one is going to hurt her. Now tell them to back off .” Jared ordered , catching sight of Damon standing at his side. Jared watched as the half-breed s faded back some. “Now listen and listen good you dumbass, you need to lose the at titude and listen to us or you’ re going to have warriors from all over climbing up your ass and your sister is going to be right in the middle of it. Nod if you understand.”
    Adam nodded without hesitation.
    “Good.” Jared glanced around to make sure everything was calm and cool. “I’m going to let you go, but if you decide to get stupid I am going to take you out.”
    “I’m good.” Adam wheezed .
    Jared let him go, but kept his guard up. “We are going to have a long conversation, no lies, no hiding anything from us and we will do our best to help you, but if you decide to play stu pid I will lock you up or kill you, depend s on what stupid card you play.”
    Rubbing his throat, Adam tried to talk, but croaked instead. Clearing his throat he tried again. “ I don’t giv e a fuck anymore .” Adam looked over at where his sister was still fighting Sid . “If it wasn’t for her , I would have gone ahead and killed myself.”
    Jared felt his pain, but he couldn’t let the kid know it. Pity was the last thing the kid needed right now. “ Yeah, go ahead and take the pussy way out.”
    “I didn’t want this.” Adam’s tone turned angry. “I don’t want to be a mindless killer.”
    “None of us want this life, but we got it and we deal with it so you need to man up and do the same.” Jared hissed knowing this kid needed a badass response. The more they felt sorry for the kid the worse of f he will be. Jared looked at the other half-breed s who were keeping their d istance, the worse off they’ d all be.
    That seemed to straighten the kid ’ s spine a bit. “Why didn’t you guys help us when we ask ed ?”
    Damon and Jared shared a glance. They were never told about half-breed s in the area. “Not sure about that Adam, but I promise you we will find out .”
    “We really didn’t mean any harm.” Adam nodded toward his sister who seemed to have calm ed down slightly.
    Jared also glanced up at Sid and Tessa waving them down. “Call Duncan. We need to get them to the warehouse where we can talk and figure out what the hell is going on. ”
    “Already called. He’s on his way.” Sid replied letting go of Tessa’s arm so she could rush to her brother.
    Tessa stood next to her brother , eyes wary, ready to protect him if necessary. “What are you going to do with him?”
    “As soon as we get him into the warehouse we ’re gonna hang him by his fangs , beat him senseless before lock ing him in a room tied to a bed with silver chains.” Jared replied gaining a chuckle from Damon and Sid.
    Tessa scrunched her nose at him. “Silver doesn’t work on him.” She snorted then tapped her temple. “Guess you all rank low on the memory thing too.” She jumped slightly when Jared growled at her.
    “Keep pushing , Red.” Jared glared at her . “Just keep pushing.”
    Tessa shrugged her shoulder before turning to her brother. “Sense of humor isn’t their strong suit either.
    “If we were going to hurt either of you , it would have been done before now.” Jared’s tone was sharp as a whip clearly stating he was losing his patience.
    “There’s more of us than this.” Adam indicated with a nod of his head.
    “How many more and where are they.” Jared sighed not liking where this was going.
    “At least ten more that I know of.” Adam looked around at
