Chapter 49
Kaiden
I smelled the air deep for Beta Connor. I put my trust in that little shit. I am going to find out every fucking warrior that was in that house that let my babygirl get hurt, and they would know my wrath. Punishment. It was all that was on my mind. I licked my chops.
I made it to the packhouse, and stood at the door. I had to shift in order to get in, leaving me naked, and I heard them go silent. “Beta!” I growl. He comes down the stairs, sees my red eyes, and I see the life drain out of them.
“Now, big brother, be reasonable.” he said, getting to the bottom of the stairs, hands up in defense.
“How?” I growl fighting Rakaam for control. We needed answers. His eyes widened as he realized exactly what I was talking about. I began to walk slowly toward him. He failed to keep her safe, but that he did not run away meant he accepted our agreement.
“Now Alpha, calm down, Sara did it without warning and we got her immediately.” He said almost all at once. I grabbed him by the ear, and pulled it down.
“I told you, brother,” I spat, “that if she got hurt, I would do the same to you?”
He squealed as I clawed his arm, probably a little deeper than I should have, but it took everything I had not to kill him. Rakaam wanted blood, and so did I, but I know I would regret going that far. “Where is that bitch?” I squeezed his arm, restraining myself not to break it. He did not challenge, nor did he try to stop me, because we both knew it would become a real fight if he did, not just brotherly messing around.
“Damnit Alpha, shit I can go get her for you if you want.” He squirmed breathing heavily, losing blood. I let him go before I completely lost it. As Beta his discomfort was actually more of a show than he let on, but it was more to help me reel in my wolf than anything else.
“Bring her here, and tell the entire pack to witness this punishment.” I command.
Beta scrambled up the stairs, and I turned to my Luna, who had to most likely defend herself against this random she wolf…. and it pissed me off more that I Knew she was no challenge to any warrior as she was. I bent down and hugged her tightly, she stood there, but slowly put her arms around me. Her eyes were completely silver, she was in so much destress her wolf had to take over for her. I felt guilty, but I would do anything for her. Anything. And this was a disrespect that Must be punished.
To leave this unchecked and unaddressed would leave her in danger. It would tell other she wolves that I didn’t care about my mate, and that I would mark someone else. Rakaam fought me for control again, and I had to punch a wall to take my anger out on something. Anything. When he gets like this, I can barely manage, but I calmed him with the thought of killing who hurt her.
She is my Luna, and all needed to see what the fuck I would do if they disrespected her. She is my everything, and the last thing I need is for someone to think that all the mercy I have been throwing around lately was the norm. No matter how small, all bow to the Luna. All kneel to her grace and mercy, for I have none.
I breathed in her scent, and tried to calm her, my eyes were still red with my wolf… and I was also naked. I had only just noticed from her wanting to tell me, but being too shy to say anything... I sighed, standing up. “Shorts.” I growl, and a random pair of black bike shorts fly into my hand, tossed from my sister.
Today there will only be revenge for our Luna.
-----Eclipse-----
He clawed up his own brother without a second thought. My heart was racing, and the only thing that came to me in my mind was that I was in danger. He was in kill mode, and he hugged me, covered in small blood spatters from what he’d done. Shimmer was onboard with him, scared, but not nearly as much as I was. The human side of me knows terror too well, and I was overwhelmed by the power he exuded. “It’s okay babygirl, I’m much calmer now.” he lied, his eyes still burning red. I knew he was trying to help me feel better.
“I need you to breathe babygirl.” he said with a smile, I didn’t even realize that I was kind of holding my breath.
“I know you hate to see me like this,” he said softly, his eyes still red, but becoming more orange slowly. “…. but seeing you had been hurt, it sent me into a rage. You are my everything, and if I lost you, there would be no one on this earth that could stop me until the lady took me.” He said the last part with a small growl at the end.
He took me upstairs and got on some black pants, with boots. I had never seen those before. They looked heavy, and laced. He was shirtless, and his face was calm, but his presence felt like the tremor before an earthquake.
“Babygirl, you don’t have to come, but if you do, your fear won’t stop me this time. Shimmer told me in detail what that bitch did to you, there must be punishment.” He said deathly serious, his amber yellow eyes turning orange.
He walked out the room, and I followed him, just out of instinct. I knew he wanted me to come; there was no mistake. I could hear the commotion of everyone being summoned was getting louder. There were so many wolves, all in their uniforms, or street clothes. There were also on and off duty warriors present. They all stood in a large crowd in and out of the packhouse. As Alpha walked down the stairs, everyone was respectful, his bruises were fully healed. They parted a way for us with bows of respect, and soon the chatter was replaced with silence.
Everyone moved out our way as he went outside, and the girl that clawed me was on her knees with her hands bound. Her eyes went wide, staring into Alpha’s now red eyes. He stood there staring back at her, he seemed to be fighting his wolf, the large crowd was completely silent now, and all eyes were on us.
He breathed in deep, and let out a sharp nose exhale. He walked up to the girl and picked her up by the throat. “Here me pack, and know the words of your Alpha.” He paused, looking for anyone who wasn’t submitting, I did on reflex, and he continued. “While I and the warriors were defending the pack from headhunters,” he spat “My Luna was attacked by this bitch.” He growled, causing small growls to ripple through the crowd. “To challenge my Luna is to challenge me.” his claws came out and he cut her restraints, and dropped her to the ground.
My eyes went wide when I realized what he was about to do.
“She’s too weak to be Luna! Surely you see that.” The girl spat, “I was cheated! I am the strongest female here, I challenge her for the title of Luna!” she growled lowly in submission, causing growls of aggression to go through the crowd. She was right, I was probably one of the weakest she wolves in the pack.
“That does not matter.” Said Gamma. “No matter how small the Luna, one was already picked. It was not your place to challenge her. But now it is up to Alpha’s wolf to honor it.” She said with folded arms. They looked like they shared a link before he snorted a snarl. His red eyes were deep as rubies as he walked.
He looked at me, and then walked up to her, kicking her in the ribs. “Your request is granted, now get up and fight me.” Kaiden snarled. “You forget the law, little pup.” growled Rakaam.
Oh shit I thought. He’d lost himself by letting his wolf have control. His arms rippled with fur before he decided to stay human formed. “We are marked and mated. My life is already lived for another…. And you will not take that from me.” he said marching slowly to her.
She rolled around on the ground, trying to breathe. He showed no remorse. He did not care. She spit blood, and turned into her wolf, and tried to run, but he got her by the tail. In the blink of an eye he dragged her to him and slammed her to the ground, then kicked her again making her yelp, forcing her to go back to her form. “I submit.” she wheezed.
“You attacked my mate.” Growled Rakaam, walking to her, putting his boot to her throat. “Die.” he rumbled. She clawed at the boot, unable to talk, but he slowly applied more pressure. “None shall have mercy.” he growled. I could only watch; he was making her suffer, giving her just enough air to claw for life. “The Moon Goddess made my mate, she gave me this gift, and none shall take it from me.” There was a loud crunch. He had snapped her neck, and he kicked her body, making it roll in the dirt.
I stood there, unable to move, until I took one step back, then two.
