The Alpha Who Saved Me

Chapter 52

Decker

I wake up long before my brothers and Emery. As I near the kitchen on my way to start some coffee, I can already smell the delicious aroma and know that I'm not the first early riser of the day. Before I even enter, I know exactly who it is that beat me to the first cup of joe, even the second cup be- cause both fathers-in-laws are sitting at the table when I en- ter.

"Good morning, you're up early." I state as I make my way over to the coffee pot.

"We wanted to get an early head start on my dear broth- er." Ledger smirks.

"What do you mean, a head start?" I lean against the counter and sip on the hot liquid.

"We were up until the wee hours, catching up, but apparently Colin can't hang. I spelled him so he could heal slowly over night, just so we could start all over this morning."

"Why don't you just kill him? I mean, the torture is nice, I guess, but I'd rather just be rid of him." These are my thoughts any way; not sure what the others think about it, though.

The former Beta sighs, "Your mother reminded us that we have to go through the Elder's first. We need to present the situation to them and hope that they grant us the power to decide for ourselves." "Are you fucking serious? They will only end up saying no and sentencing him to a life in prison like they did with that Alpha that sat down there for years before he found a way to off himself. That should have been my mother's kill, not let him have the coward's way out!" I can't believe that we have to deal with the Elders on this!

"It may be different. Alpha Benjamin was one of us, a shifter, and an Alpha at that. Yes, he should have been exe- cuted for all the lives that he took in search of your mother, but the Elder's thought life in prison would be worse than death. Colin, he isn't a shifter, and because he is Ledger's blood, I'm hoping that they will take his plea into account." Spencer squeezes his mate's hand.

"I think it's time that the Queen and King get rid of the El- der's for that purpose. I feel that they have grown soft in their old age." I scowl.

"Your parents have tried, but they need so many packs to agree with them and each time they tried they were one, and then two packs short of getting the winning vote."

"What if my mates challenged him?" We all look towards the door where Emery stands, and I automatically turn and make her a cup of coffee too.

She comes over and reaches up to plant a kiss on my cheek after I hand her the mug, "Thank you, baby." She smiles and it instantly makes my day. "You're welcome."

"What are you talking about, a challenge?" Ledger ques- tions.

"Well, didn't Aunt Quinn challenge Holden's bio mom for Uncle Declan? Why can't my mates challenge Colin for me?"

"Because you are already ours, there is no challenge to be had." I hold her tighter against me.

"But Lila was Luna at the time, so technically the King was hers." My mate states and I hate to say it but she's right.

"Yeah, but I think your dad wants this fight." I chuckle but Ledger shakes his head.

"It doesn't matter how Colin dies, as long as he does, so he will never be a threat to my daughter again." My father-in-law growls.

"Well, it's settled then, my mates will challenge him, and they will remain in their human form." Emery grins and looks up at me.

"I'm afraid that's not going to happen." Another new voice joins in on the conversation and all of our eyes fall on my mother, the Queen.

"Why can't they challenge him?" My mate is quick to ask but I place my arm around her waist and pull her back against me to try and calm her because I can feel her anger begin to rise.

"Calm down, sweetheart," mom tells her, "I only say that because I've been on a video call for the last hour with the El- ders and even though one of them is against it, they are giv- ing me permission to punish the bastard as I see fit. They don' t take kindly to incest apparently," she scoffs, "So, I'm letting you handle this situation as you see fit, as long as that fucker dies, because he won't be leaving this territory alive again."

"Go Mom!" I fist pump the air and she smirks as she pours herself the last cup from the pot.

"You better make another pot; your brothers will be down shortly." She starts to walk away.

"Nah, they will be asleep for a while yet." I tell her, she should know this.

"Nope, I just screamed through the link for them to wake up." She chuckles and walks back out of the room.

"You are an evil Queen, Mother!" I call after her and she responds with a witch's cackle. We all have a good laugh and then I start a new pot of coffee as we wait for my brothers to arrive.

"Does it make me a bad person if I want to wait and call his mother here, so she can watch her sicko son die before we end her as well? I want to grab him by his balls and yank them out one at a time and ther tear off his dick and feed it to him."

We all just stand here staring at the woman who was once an innocent girl and who we now call our mate. Our hands. covering our own packages as we cross our legs. The former Beta just stands smiling at his daughter as she describes in detail what she wants to do to her sick uncle.

"I think you have been spending too much time around Quinn, haven't you?" He asks his daughter.

She scrunches up her face in confusion, 'Why do you say that?"

"How about you tell her what you just described to us and then ask her why I'm saying it." He chuckles.

How come I have a feeling that there is a story behind that but it's one that I don't want to know. I pull my mate into my arms once more, "Babe, as much as I love your detail to making Colin's death a painful one, can you think of another way to do it? I honestly don't think I, or my brothers, will be able to stand by and watch it happen."

My brothers both shake their heads at our mate, and she snickers, "Oh? Any particular reason why?"

"Oh Goddess, I think I'm going to be sick." Asher runs from the room like a little pussy, looking for the nearest open bathroom.

"I was just thinking of the best way that would really gut his mother." Em explains, "She made it known that he's her spoiled baby and she had no qualms over hitting me and kick- ing me until I pissed all over myself while I was chained to the wall." Her rage is heard through each word that she speaks, and I flinch when she describes her treatment from his moth- er.

"I love your tenacity in getting your revenge, baby girl, but you will have to remember that as soon as we get rid of Colin, we will have to take out the rest of the Shikari, otherwise, they will come for you again." Ledger pushes some of his daughter's hair back behind her ear, "You four have great power to- gether and I believe you will be able to strip every single one of them of their magic using Colin before we kill him."

She looks at me and Holden and we both nod before her attention goes back to her father, "Alright then, we strip the Shikari once and for all, and then bring his mother here, so she can watch me rip his balls out."

"Baby..." I flinch once more.

Our devious little mate chuckles and then pats me on the cheek, "Just kidding!" She winks and then walks out of the room with a spring to her step. 2 Thank you so much for Reading! =) 2
