Chapter 6 - The King Awakens
Serena’s perfectly manicured fingers gripped the plastic IV port.
But before the needle could even pierce the rubber seal, a massive, heavily tattooed hand shot out from beneath the blue hospital sheets with blinding, terrifying speed.
Dante grabbed Serena’s wrist, twisting it with bone-crushing force.
Serena let out a high-pitched, horrifying shriek, dropping the lethal syringe onto the sterile floor.
Dante’s dark eyes snapped open. The weak, dying patient was completely gone. In his place lay the undisputed, terrifying apex predator of Chicago.
"You brought a needle into my room, Serena?" Dante whispered. His deep voice vibrated with a dark, demonic promise of violence that instantly froze the blood in her veins.
Victor panicked. The Underboss aggressively reached under his tailored suit jacket for his suppressed tactical pistol, fully intending to execute Dante right there in the bed.
He was far too slow.
Before Victor’s fingers could even grip the handle of his weapon, the heavy doors of the ICU room burst open.
Four massive, heavily armed syndicate enforcers—men completely loyal to Dante, whom Claire had secretly texted from the nurse's station—stormed into the room. They didn't hesitate for a microsecond.
