Chapter And of Course
They all know, maybe not Theo, that this match is completely unfair. I could rip Theo with my full power now. Theo seems oblivious to this fact at the moment. That evil is in his eyes again. This is the Theo I know, that Sam knows, and maybe a few others for all we know.
"Fucking, Theo. You know this is the end and it's long overdue." I say as we start in defensive stances.
"Oh, is it? So, you think this is the end? The only reason you did this was to protect your brother." He says with a smile. "We both know you don't have the guts to take me."
"If anyone was going to fight you, it was going to be me. It wasn't about protecting Col, it's about getting revenge from my past. You deserve worst than anything that will come." I snarl back just before he takes a lunge at me.
He falls to the ground, but gets up fast. I then lunge to the left, but using my vampire speed I go right. Grabbing him from the back, I flip him to the ground. He is pinned. "I am stronger and fast and smarter. You should tap out while I still have control or you may not walk away."
"Fuck you, hybrid!" And then I punch him, hard. You could probably hear the connection I made to his rib cage while it also crushed a good amount of bones.
"You deserve death. I am giving you an out. Give up now. I won't ask again."
"Fuck you! Oh, wait I did that! Weren't so tough then, hybrid pussy felt so great! I couldn't help myself and hell, if I wanted, I'd take that pussy right now!" He was trying to get out from under me. Then he slipped my hand enough to make me stumble in my stance, he got out.
Standing back up, I fully snapped. I wasn't going to hold back. 'Your eyes. They are red. He's gotten to you. Focus!' Colson mind links me. I fight whatever this side of me is. It isn't my wolf, she was cheering in my head like the pack around us. This was had to be my vampire side. I was going to kill him if I can't figure out right now how to control my rage.
Theo at that moment kicks up dust and attempts to land a punch to my face. He again falls forward because I knew what he was trying to do. I then grab him and toss him up into the air. As he falls back towards the ground I grab him and smash him hard, but luckily not all my might. I eased up. I had control again. Flipping him go my right from my left, left to my right, I just proceed to beat him around like a rag doll. Some people start laughing, others cheer. Colson steps forward.
"Azula, that's enough. He concedes." He tries to tell me. I stop with my hand to Theos throat as he is on the ground. Looking into his eyes, I see the fear I have waited to see since I was 14.
"Azula wins! Theo, loses his position and title!" Colson uses his alpha voice to announce to the crowd. I let go of Theo and Colson walks up to him. "Fighting me for our challenge would foolish now. I suggest you accept that."
"Yes, alpha." He says with his head submissively hanging low.
"Now, someone take him to the dungeons to await trail." Everyone looks at Colson. This wasn't protocol. They question him "Theo of Crimson Moon, you hear by stand trail for the rape of a child 4 years ago! The date of your trail will be awaited to be announced."
The pack then stares at him. My father who just now comes forward looks at Theo and then at me. It clicks. I turn away and look at Ryanne who comes and hugs me. All I hear is the sound my father's fist made when it hit Theo's face.
"Can we go back to the house, please." I say to Ryanne. He looks over at Colson and my dad.
"Just mind link them to let them know. We should speak to them when they get back as well." I nod and mind link the two of them.
Ryanne holds me by my waist as we make our way back to the pack house. It seems like forever but not long enough before we make it back to my room. I drop to the bed and start crying.
"Hey, I'm going to draw you a bath. I will be right back." Ryanne says as I just keep letting the tears come.
The water feels perfect as he helps me into it. I don't even let the fact it's my first time naked in front of him get to me. I'm just numb feeling. Why do I feel like this? I should be happy, proud, and joyful. No, I'm sad, mad, and relieved all in one. So much emotion runs though me.
Ryanne slips in the bath behind me, holding me. He speaks whispers in my ear but I can't understand any of it. His words are soothing. Before I know it, I'm calm again. Just laying there in my mate's arms. I've never had to be cared for like this, but I couldn't have chosen a better person to have help me.
"Thank you." I whisper, "You are amazing."
"You are the one that is amazing. Even the strongest have to cry at some point. You bottled up emotion for four years. Some go even longer. You deserve someone who will cheer fo you at your best, stand by your side at all times, and hold you when the world comes crashing in. I love you, Az. I'm glad the moon goddess paired us as mates. It means i can try to be the person you deserve. I want to be everything you deserve."
"I love you too, Ry. We can be that person for each other. Alpha's need a Luna. I am your Luna. I wish to meet your pack, but I think this fight we are about to go for is going to push it back." I turn my body in the tub, straddling him. I lean into him and kiss him, hard.
He starts to kiss back then as I break it to breathe he starts kissing down my neck to my collarbone.
"Do it, please. Mark me. I want this." I say, breathy. His canines spike out as he bites down. It felt warm and was quick. He then kicks at the bite. It heats up after he starts to kiss my shoulder. As he keeps doing what he's doing, I can't concentrate on him anymore, the heat is taking over. My mark feels like fire. This isn't how marks are supposed to feel. What is going on?
"It feels like fire! Stop! Something is wrong!" I tell out just before a piercing scream. Ryanne lifts me out the water and sets me on the counter, wrapping a towel around me and then one on him. He then takes me into the room as Colson runs into my room.
"What the fuck is going on?!?!"
"I don't know. She had me mark her and she then said it felt like it was on fire!" Ry looks scared. I'm in so much pain. "Where's Dekan or your mom?"
"Dad is at the prison keeping watch of Theo, Mom is stuck at the party because the kids don't want to leave yet, Liam is talking to Pete and Zoe. Fuck, this didn't happen with Liam and I. Have he mark you, quick!" Colson looks like he is panicking.
"Colson, go to your room, I will let you know if this goes wrong anymore than it has. Or even the bathroom. I may have to also mate her to stop this and I am sure you don't want to be around for that." He says and my brother leaves us. Ry, then looks at me and in his Alpha voice he says, "Bite me, now!"
