(Book 2) – Chapter 42
Nina decided to take Dexter to the park with a few other omegas that he adores while the warriors head to work and the rest of us head to Leif’s new office. There was a big trash can by the desk when we walked in and when I looked back at Leif to ask about it he shrugged his shoulders. I hope there wasn’t anything too gross or embarrassing in that desk. I am hoping that some of the staff at my parent’s old house got everything out a daughter shouldn’t see.
‘Alistair before we sit down to talk about his family I wanted your opinion. What should we do with them? I am sure Faith has to die to show I don’t allow traitors or threats but what about Diamond? She has touched other people’s mate and she is a spoiled princess would hard labor help her or would death be easier for the pack?’ I linked him as we watched the guys talk about the fight last night.
Death for them both. They both undermined you and you have to stay strong in front of your people. Plus they are both bitches!’ Alistair responded. I looked at him and nodded.
“Too much trash in here?” Edgar asked as he looked into the trash can. “I had to clean out my vampire parents’ house and it was horrible. “He shook his head like he was there doing it again. I rubbed his back making him remember where he really was.
“Yea. It seemed dad kept some stuff to blackmail a few pack members along with stupid decorations. I am throwing everything that isn’t full of useful information and our history.” Leif shook his head as he sad at the table. We followed right after him.
“Are you sure you want to deal with your mother and Sister now? We can wait another day to give you time to get ok with it.” Asher asked him.
“No. I need to do this now so the pack and I can move on. Ryder, have you decided what to do and who is doing it?” Leif looked over at me with a blank face but I could tell he was hurting. Within two days he will have lost his who family for something they selfishly did.
“Ok. I can’t let what your mother did slide since she threatened me twice and set a hit out on me. I will be killing her since she is my enemy and I wouldn’t do that do you.” I took a deep breath before talking about his sister. “Your sister was a toss up since she is young and hasn’t had to do any hard work so I thought strict punishment might work but after remembering everything plus the pack not wanting to work with her. I was wrong because she will be who she is and that she will still do whatever she wants. I am leaning toward death to give you and the pack a fresh start. What do you think?” I kept my eyes on him so that his body language would be the same as what he decided. ‘
“Agreed. I will call a pack meeting in the yard in an hour and bring them both up. We will get it done quickly so I can focus on something else.” Leif stood and went to walk out.
“Leif, I know that in most packs you want the pups there to see the death and be strong enough to handle it but can we not? I think kids should be kids as long as they can. Being an adult really sucks sometimes. “ I have a half smile before standing.
“I agree. I will make sure to let them know.” With that he left. I wanted to go after him but my mates told me he needed to be alone for a bit.
“Since we are planning on leaving tonight I want to walk around the pack and talk to everyone. I want to see how they feel about Leif and the upcoming war. I need to bring it up to him as I did the old Alpha and hopefully his opinion is different.” I walked out of the office. “Shoot, I also need to speak to the omegas to see who is staying and going before talking to your sister.”
“Slow down, sweetie. Let’s do this as a team and you tell us what needs done so we can all do something.” Blake grabbed my hand, smiling down at me.
“That sounds amazing. I am trying to not think about killing Faith and Diamond but I really need to so I can figure out the best way to do it. I want to get it over with.” The nodded because they understood. Taking someone’s live was never easy but sometimes required.
We met back up in front of the pack house and saw everyone already there. A group of warriors had the prisoners and were waiting for orders. I forgot the Beta was a prisoner as well and I have no plan for him.
‘Leif we just got here. I forgot all about the Beta.’ I linked and I was slightly freaking out. I didn’t want to kill three people. It would break me.
‘I will handle the Beta. He confessed some things this morning that he did willingly for my father including killing my girlfriend a few years ago right after I said I was going to take a chosen mate instead. He is mine to kill.’ I could hear the rage in his voice.
Damn. I didn’t even know what to say to that. I get being a protective parent but that is taking it too far. Even if you have a special someone in mind for you child you can’t make them be together. I guess it was hard for Zach to not be in control no matter the situation. I hope Leif strives for better things for his children.
Leif walked up and my mates instantly tensed up. I saw their faces feed off his rage and I was thankful there would be no fights today or my mates would want a piece of everyone of them. I took a deep breath and walked to stand beside Leif while he made the announcements.
“Pack, thank you for being here and thank you for not bringing your children. Today we have made a decision regarding the prisoners. They are all sentenced to death for their crimes. Princess Ryder will be taking care of Faith and Diamond. The Beta is mine. He confessed to the killing of my girlfriend last year once I had decided to take her as my chosen mate. It was on the orders of my Father.
The warriors brought down both women into the circle and pushed them down to their knees. I walked out to stand in front of them and I got the full-on effect of the hate glare they were giving me. I didn’t know how I was going to have them die but I guess at this point it needed to just do it.
“Faith and Diamond do you have anything you would like to say to the pack or your family?” I hated this tradition. Most of the time they just begged for their life. I read so many stories in history of the pack’s different books.
“Say something to my traitorous pack? No thanks. I will, however, say something to you. Your parents made the wrong decision is sending you to their human friends. Here you could of thrived, been raised as a Luna should, and married my son to eventually take over the pack. Instead you were raised by idiots giving you ideas of actually ruling the packs with your slutty ways. I feel bad for your father since it was your mother who chose to give you to that family. Your father should of married me like I said and killed your mother. The royal family might still be around and had an actual decent heir.”
I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. All I saw was red when she was speaking and before I knew it I had a hold of Faith by her neck holding her down while a new power came to be. “Speak your truth, Faith. You have once chance before I kill you.”
She only hesitated for a second before everything came to light. “I never wanted to be the Luna of this pack nor the mate of Zach. My parents made me when I couldn’t get your father to chose me over your idiotic mother. I found the vampires that we made the deal with but only because Zach asked it of me. He threatened Diamond and he knows she is the only child I care for. I also made them decide to double cross him so that he would die and I would rule this pack. I am not sorry that Diamond did as she wished. My only regret is that she didn’t get pregnant like she planned by one of the stronger Alpha’s she slept with.”
“You are a disgusting person and everyone will be glad you are gone. Diamond will be headed to hell right after you.” With that I decided I didn’t want it to be quick so I would use my b***d manipulation.
I pushed for her b***d to boil which caused her skin to turn red and her screams to start. I let the b***d release which cause her to cry b***d and her gag on it as it ran out of her mouth.
“I figured you didn’t deserve a quick death so we will watch you choke on your own b***d until you die. This is the type of pain you and your daughter have caused so many of us. My mother was right not to have me come to you. I deserve so much better and I got it. Plus my adoptive mother isn’t a human she is a WITCH!” I giggled as she took her final breath and the last of her b***d boiled out of her body.
I looked over and Diamond to see the horror in her eyes. Good, she needed to know what was going to happen to her. She whimpered and looked toward the pack before landing her eyes on Asher.
“Asher! Save me. I know you love me. Tell her and we can be together. She would never kill someone you love!” She was an i***t.
“You are nothing to me, Diamond. My mate is the love of my life and she can k**s who she wants.” He growled.
“Goodbye.” I told her as I walked behind her, grabbing her neck, and snapping it.
