Chapter Chapter Fourteen (Regan’s Ending)
Virginia Woolf once quoted, “I am in the mood to dissolve into the sky.”
I guess that’s the true statement for me because I was definitely in the mood for that- disappear into the skies of the night and take down the Moon Goddess. Confront the bitch for pairing me with her so-called descendant and the “future ruler of wolves” known as Carson Hadley. She must’ve been smoking something crazy because I was certain that I was into chicks and that I wanted nothing to do with any omega or faggot that was seen as weak in my eyes.
And despite everyone telling me that I was making a grave mistake, I knew what I wanted. And I was willing to kill anyone and everyone who dared to stand in my way. Note the way I was covered in the blood of everyone who was slaughtered by my hands before making a break out of the dungeons. It was too easy because I was trapped in a rage for all the lies that were revealed to me.
I took down anyone and everyone that was in my path to the comatose runt- the guards outside of the pack grounds, the policemen and soldiers that were guarding the streets of Denver (as if they stood a chance) several hunters who obeyed the code, and even every doctor and patient that were doing all they could to protect Carson.
I even took down that female hunter from the Altimare Hunter Dynasty and my sisters’ trusted guards. And here I was, with a wicked smile on my face and my claws extended as I hovered over the comatose body of Carson Hadley, the pathetic runt-turned-human who made my life a living hell. “Well, well, well. It looks lie you’re still hanging on by a fucking thread,” I chuckled darkly, ignoring the protests and cries from Anubis. “How does it feel that all of the people who loved you died because of your inability to die?”
No response.
“I know you can’t answer me because you’re trapped between life and death, but think about this: at least when you and everyone else that I’ve killed and will kill before I take the throne of your fathers will be rotting in hell; I’ll be the one to be partying it up with my fellow Alphas and Betas and others who all agree with me- you and every omega and faggot that I’m putting out of your miseries do NOT and will NEVER, EVER belong on this Earth.”
I took a deep breath. “You know, it’s all because of your death that I’m no longer an Alpha-to-be, much less anyone’s favorite on their lists. But the one thing that pisses me off is the fact that I’m not even a born werewolf like you, Ciara, Harvey, and Delia- forget about calling them Mom and Dad since I’m a literal bastard child, or anyone else. I was born a human being and grew up with a lot of complexes that brought me to this point. And you know what else? I can’t help but love anyone else but you!”
I slapped Carson’s face, though he was a vegetable at this point.
“But all the same, I’m going to be rid of you for good,” I continued, letting my hackles rise higher and higher as my canines elongated. “Once I finish you off, I’m going to run this world in the way I imagine it- no weak links, no faggots, no sympathy. All there will be left is power, pride, money, and fame. And I thank you for bringing me to this point. I admit that you’re quite a looker yourself. No wonder the Elite Eight want you as theirs. But I need you to remain pure and untouched so I can use your blood to rid the world of freaks like you. So thank Goddess that you remained a virgin and for dying like this.”
“STOP!” I heard Ciara’s voice boom as she and the Elites came to the doorway with Fianna and her mother behind them. “Regan Zallenda, you are under arrest for the murders of your fellow supernaturals. Don’t move a muscle.”
“Don’t try anything, sister of mine,” I sneered, turning to the rage-filled faces of the family, lovers, and friends. “I’m doing what I need to do.”
“You’re not going to get away with this,” Fianna said angrily. “You’re already facing your execution for numerous deaths. Don’t add the son of Royals to the victims.”
“No one’s going to stop me!” I roared. “I need to put away the filth. This is what Carson deserves! This is what he and every omega deserve.”
“Stand down!” Ferdinand bellowed fangs lit in the light.
“Goodbye, runt,” I hissed, raising my claws to the boy’s body. “Thank you for being in this coma so I can make the world a better place. You deserved this, you fuckup!”
And just like that... the slaughter began as I tore into Carson’s body, using my claws to tear up his body and reach into his chest to pull out his heart. Sneering down at the screaming and crying Fianna, I ate the beating heart of the now-dead omega in one swallow before continuing to destroy him down to the last bone of his body while my body was numb from the bullets from a few nearby bullets.
And after only an hour... I was finished. “It is done! I am free! I am the new Alpha King! I am-”
I did NOT expect to be hit by a bolt of lightning that suddenly came through the window and ended my rants, knocking me down for the last time...
*******
I woke up in the void of the afterlife, my eyes hit by the blinding light of the Moon Goddess as her beauty was marred by divine anger. “Hello, your Majesty,” I mocked at her with a sarcastic curtsy. “How nice of you to finally meet you.”
“You have done my child- my precious son and descendant- harm,” she said, her voice thick with a mixture of sadness and rage. “You dared to go against my will all to rule the world with hate and bitterness in your heart.”
“I did what I needed to do,” I said with a smile on my face. “Your precious brat is never meant to be my mate is was meant to die.”
“Is that so?” she said, her anger dissipating into a mocking look of her own. “Are you so sure that you killing everyone who showed love and mercy to my child was a means to get what you want?”
“I’m so sure, love,” I said. “And now, I get to rule the world and-”
“There is no second chance of life for you,” the Moon Goddess boomed as thunder and lightning shook the void as I saw two hellhounds in their Alpha forms come to her side. “For your treacherous crimes against all of my children and the humans- and for daring to murder my royal descendant, you will be sent to the deepest parts of hell where you will burn for all eternity.”
“WHAT?!!” I screamed as I saw the ground beneath me open up and the hellhounds began to approach me. “You can’t do this to me. I’m the real Alpha King, not those faggots or that runt of a mate! They should be in hell with me!”
The Moon Goddess laughed. “My child, you do know that my children are immortal beings and descendants from the heavens,” she said. “And for you to dare kill my child- your destined mate- is a statement: you have no soul or heart for anyone to love. And as for those who have known the truth and repented of their sins, they will be pardoned, but they must suffer. You, on the other hand, must face your judgment in hell.”
With a final boom of thunder, I saw myself sink into the fires of hell where other condemned souls were burning under the high flames of sulfur and brimstone, never being relieved from the heat. And just as I was fully entering into the realm of hell, I heard the Moon Goddess for the final time: “You wanted to dissolve into the skies of heaven, but you’re now molded into the ashes of the damned. And this is where you must stay...forever.”
Forever.
I was doomed to remain in hell for all eternity.
I opened my mouth and began to scream out with the rest of the damned souls as the fires began to tear through my skin and leave the same marks that I have covered Carson in the land of the living.
My time was over as my fate was sealed. I was born in anger and I died in shame.
