Killing My Alpha Mate

My chest contrasts as my heart aches, my blood turns cold and my stomach dips.

I had just killed my friend.

No! I had no choice, the crown had done this they were using wolves anyhow they pleased, disposing of them like they were nothing with no sympathy or remorse. This was the last draw. If we don't fight back we'll lose everyone we loved and cared about.

Wiping my eyes I look at Sal's corpse and her chain grabs my attention. I'll have to tell Ride, something I need guts to do.

Centralizing my attention on the necklace I pull it off her dead body.

Scanning the room I spot two small tubes with a green liquid.

Suspecting it must be the serum Aitch spoke about clasping them in my hand I am about to leave when I see the man on the ground.

Picking up the gun I fire three bullets at his back, a message to Madam Von Grey, a message to the crown.

Retracing my steps I walk out of the pack house to the car, the driver seated inside.

"Take me back to the pack house" I ordered looking out the window.

"Ma'am I'll have to wait for Carter's instructions"

"I don't like repeating myself" the anger coursing through me is enough to kill him right here.

He hesitates for a while but starts the ignition for our sake, I'm glad for It.

The drive back to the pack house was nerve-wracking, no tears dropped from my eyes I felt numb and void of any emotion.

The crown has turned me into a monster, a murderer, and bloodthirsty.

I'll love to render a life worse than death to each one of them, so cruel they'll pray for death.

Carter is someone I'll deal with later now I had a bigger fish to fry telling Ride the news.

Clutching Sal's necklace and the serum in hand I walk back to the room hoping they'll still be in there.

Without knocking I turn the door knob revealing Ride and Jaden.

Jaden is cuffed to the bed but he's still smiling at Ride who's tossing a tennis ball seems like I walked into a guy's hangout spotting me their faces fall to a worried look. "Hailey, what happened?"

"Angel what's wrong" Ride asks, without answering I toss the necklace to the ground.

Ride picks it up, titling it with bloodshot eyes as he stares back at me.

"What happened to her Angel" My stomach knots at his tone.

I had prepared my mind, bracing myself for this exact moment but now Ride is in front of me my emotions betray me making me sob with no way to explain it.

"Fuck!" Ride yells, slamming his knuckles on the wooden table, knocking down everything on it scared I step back to the wall sobbing heavily.

"Hailey, what happened, are you alright?" Jaden asks using mind link.

"Jaden I killed her I should be punished severely, I am a murderer I killed her with my own two hands"

I didn't realize I said it out loud till I heard Ride's footsteps heading towards me

"What do you mean you killed her?" Ride asks in a cold tone his face twisted in a grimace.

"I... "I cry, placing my trembling hands on Ride's shoulder.

"You what Angel" Ride says, pulling my hand and forcing me to face his icy glare.

"If you lay a finger-

"Shut the fuck up!" Ride roars at Jaden.

Making me flinch, he was furious. I was too but those final moments with my friend, a freak brought me thus far till the moment I had to tell someone who had grown up together with her. "You what Angel" Ride asks again, his bottom lip twitching as he grits his teeth.

"I had no choice Ride believe me-

"What do you mean you had no choice?" Ride yells slamming me to the wall and gripping my hands to the point it aches.

"I'm sorry Ride" I look away literally feeling the heat exhausting from him.

"She had been infected she was half dead when I found her she begged me to kill her Ride she was in torment they had used her as a lab experiment"

Ride steps back looking at me with unbelieving eyes.

"Let me get this straight you found her and she asked you to kill her because she was fazed like a mindless zombie"

"I know it sounds berserk but you gotta believe me why the hell will I kill Sal"

"Maybe the same reason Aitch is dead"

"Aitch was also affected to look" I placed the serum in his face.

"I think this is what is what they are using"

"So who are these people who did this?

"The crown-

"The crown, the crown, the crown fuck that Angel your obsession with finding them has endangered all of us why the hell are you the only one who knows about this?" Ride blurts angrily, flinging his hands. "Ride..." I say not having an answer.

Sal would have been killed anyway like the way Aitch was.

Moreover, I realize I have been forcing my revenge against the crown on everyone around me.

Like Lord Perry said only people around me will get hurt, Jaden, Nisha, Elijah, Aitch, Sal, Ride. It hits me that I am responsible for all their pain.

With a sigh, Ride ruffles his hair walking out of the room.

"Hailey" Jaden calls out to me from the bed struggling with the metal handcuff

"Jaden I swear I had no choice" I cry running to his side.

"She was in pain, she was behaving funny, she was a bloody mess there's nothing I could have done to help her she-

"Shh" Jaden shushes, wiping my tears.

"You don't have to explain, I believe you, Hailey, I can feel the torment you are in. I'm sorry you had to face that" Jaden coaxes.

Speechless I sob into his cloth everything felt better when I was safe in his arms

The door swings open expecting to find Ride. I look in that direction but get stunned to see Carter.
