Chapter 46

Tyson
I continued to angrily watch this…. My blood boiled. They *were* traitors…
But a man labeled ‘vagabond’ helping me is only another murder… If only I wasn’t so angered to do that… But what could I do? To allow a fugitive to keep their ‘prince’ status is a spit in my former pack’s face.
“Well… Jang is available. Martha’s mate is an Omega, my son’s mate was rejected as well… No pup of *Mine* is marrying a damn Human.” He hissed.
Kaizen’s self control… that he was silent to collect his thoughts as I do impressed me… Pardoning him with this footage might be possible…. I have *good* lawyers…
And like my silence, his intimidated that little wolf. My brother’s flame between his horns danced, while he contemplated his next move.
“Again, you try to change the subject. You won’t bait me by talking about how humans are lesser. Tell me why you want to kill Tyson so bad.” He said that glaring him in the eyes. His eyes changed to orange. Tack, his wolf, came out but he refused to let Lupe speak.
“I want no such thing….” My former 14th said looking at his feet.
His wolf was silent. He looked around for cameras, but couldn’t see it.
“Your thoughts already give you away.” Said my brother. If he was lying or not, it didn’t actually matter, because he did get a willing confession without a drop of blood spilled….
Well done….
“He’s so Pure.” His wolf snarled. “It is like I’m working under a damn Unicorn! And what’s worse is that his mate IS a damn unicorn. Reform, Bah!” He snapped. “I have to cater to a pup who doesn’t even know how to govern and bow to a woman who is Not Luna material. He is no king…. She is no queen….”
“Interesting choice of words.” Kaizen said turning to leave.
About 2 more minutes were on the feed, and I watched with glowing red eyes.
“You’re an IDIOT!” Screamed Martha. “You told them every-” His wolf slapped her hard enough that she hit the floor.
“Silence.” Hissed his wolf. “We are to die regardless. If I am to die, the others not here will too.”
She wiped her mouth, and stood. “You’re still a stupid mutt! He’s going to kill the rest of us! Both Houses!”
“Then so Fucking Be It.,” Said Lupe. “Even if we *did* get a deal, I’m sure he’d run to his daddy or his uncle! I’d rather die now than be tormented LIKE JANG!”
They were all silent until the footage showed Jack the Slasher, coming in slowly. He had his claws already out. They left a deep groove in the stone they were so sharp. His black hair was purposefully cut to a short ponytail, while his red eyes were lit up with his wolf, Eviscerate.
His sing-song icy voice held a gruff Brit accent. Where I wouldn’t know, but he looked directly at the camera. “What I do next has nothing to do with my master. He told me to send the footage and your council… but not *how*.” He giggled.
Kaizen made a thrall, likely to insure he can control Jack….
That was probably a lie, but on camera such evidence might still be used….
“I TOLD YOU!” Screamed Martha… He killed her with a throwing knife between the eyes.
Well now it can’t. Killing Council is reserved for *only* the king, or his command…
Jack fucking Ruined it.
“The adults are talking dear.” Jack said annoyed. “Lupe.” He sang. “What’s the best part of being a werewolf, eh? You never answered me.”
“…..The immortality.” Lupe mumbled. “I don’t have to worry…. If I wait a hundred years, it just gets done late… Time is trivial when you don’t have a deadline.”
“Interesting, but *boring*. The correct answer is pack. Pack is always there for you, even when blood isn’t. Pack adopts… Pack protects, loves…. Pack is safety…. Of all the things I miss, it’s that feeling right there.” He put his hand to his chest.
“Monster.” Hissed Lupe.
“You don’t know how lonely it gets… You will never hear the cacophony, the song of the countless horde I’ve killed Before During and After the War. To be Alone is to Be Insane. It’s like a dog chasing its tail, frothing at the mouth, not knowing what to do when he gets it.” He pulled another throwing knife, killing his mark mate…. He seemed more afraid for his own life, than losing her.
Had that been his true mate, Lupe would be begging for death….
Jack… he phased through the bars by becoming a shadow. I’ll have to make sure the bars are solid silver when I catch that little shit.
“Why’d you kill Ash’s nephew?” He demanded. “If you wouldn’t have, as the eldest living, HE’D have been King! Now we have to deal with a boy and a Fucking Unicorn!”
“Why? He asked me to. He wanted to be with his mate, and I obliged. I actually liked the kid too. You didn’t. If I remember right, *your father* was the one who started that snowball. You remember him right? He’s right behind you waiting with the knife you planted still in his back.”
I watched Jack rip them apart.
Doing so puts their deaths on his master… regardless of his words….
I snarled. He ruined whatever defense I could have coughed up….
It isn’t the SAME.
Jabari sat there with his neck bowed, not to submit, but to be beheaded.
“Rise. I will not kill you for keeping your vows. Secure grandfather. The castle is on lockdown. All visitors, dignitaries, and delegates are to go home if there’s any left…. And I want Every Grisham and Finnand here. Now. I don’t care how old, or how far apart from relation….. I want every one of them here, even 3rd fucking cousins.” I hissed.
I went to check on my grandparents myself…. They were still asleep…. It was actually kind of cute. Grandfather doubled grandma, and she kind of slept on top of him like a pillow while shifted…..
Right now they ran in the wilds of the In-Between, and the Moon Goddess’s realm… Let it stay that way.
Let them have their peace.
