Chapter 145 - DEALING WITH THE TRASH

[KYLE POV]

"I swear, Alpha Kyle, I didn't help her poison the Felicitas. I swear I didn't. All I did was switch places with her halfway through so that no one would notice that she had snuck in. I promise you that I didn't do anything to your mate." Zennia was crying harder and harder with every word that she said.

"No, Zennia, that is where you're wrong. Just by letting her inside, you helped her to harm my wife. You helped her when she attempted to kill my unborn baby and my mate. That is treason against me and your entire pack. That is where you went wrong with all of this. Had you refused her, had you not assisted her, then you wouldn't be in this mess, and my wife would not have been harmed."

"I'm sorry, Alpha Kyle, I'm s..s..so s..s..sorry." She was sobbing now. "I didn't know that she wanted to hurt anyone. She told me she just wanted to see the wedding, I swear."

"Really!?" I bellowed the word at her. "You believed that? How the hell could you have believed that when she was one of the women I banished? She was right there with Gretchen that day when they challenged her and tried to kill her. How the fuck could you believe that she wasn't going to try and hurt her? How in the fucking hell could you think that nothing was going to happen when she had to sneak into the wedding?"

"I'm sorry." Zennia was crying even harder than before. "Please Alpha Kyle, spare me. Please!"

"I'm sorry, Zennia, I can't do that."

She broke down then, sobbing and gasping for air as the realization hit her. She was going to die, and she knew it. She had sacrificed her own life for Karyn's plot whether she truly believed that something was going to happen or not.

I turned to look at the last person that was present. The only man in the group and Zennia's  mate. Avery Michaels was giving me a furious look. Then again, he was giving that look to everyone, especially Karyn.

"And how were you involved in this?" I growled at him. "What was your part in trying to murder my family?"

"I had no part in that." He snapped back at me making the beast inside of me growl with furious anger.

"Then why the fuck are you here, Avery?" I asked him with a glare that was guaranteed to make him flinch in fright.

"I am here because those assholes came for my wife this afternoon. We weren't told anything. They just came barging into our home and started screaming things like 'you're coming with me' and 'get the fuck over here bitch'. Of course I was going to defend my mate. We weren't given any information at all. That was a terrifying situation for her. I thought they were just out to kill her for no reason at all. And of course they already had blood on them so I wasn't going to trust anything they said."

"Why were you covered in blood?" I turned and asked Winston.

"Karyn, that bitch, didn't want to come quietly. She scratched the shit out of a few of us. The scratches healed already though. So all they saw was the leftover blood on our faces and clothes."

"Of course, I scratched the shit out of you pieces of shit. You think I am just going to willingly be dragged to my death?!" Karyn screamed at him, and there was another sound of flesh hitting flesh, this time it was Lucian that slapped her.

"Shut up you cunt." He growled at her.

"Make me fuzzy wuzzy." She stuck her tongue out at him.

Oooh, that was a bad idea. He slammed his fist up on her chin while the flesh little pink thing was between her teeth. He hit it so hard that he forced her teeth together in an instant and she immediately started to scream as the tongue fell to the floor.

"Shut up and be quiet now you useless twat lump." Lucian growled and looked away from her. Karyn's screams were still there, but she was no longer talking. I could deal with the screams. They were oddly pleasant to the ears at the moment.

"So." I turned back to Avery and Zennia. "You only protected your wife, and you aided an attempted murder."

"No, I didn't. I swear I didn't." Zennia balled again.

"Hush Zennia. You're just going to make it worse." Avery's words were soft, but firm. He knew that there was nothing that could be done.

"Technically, Avery, you did nothing wrong. I can spare your life if you want."

"What point would my life have without my mate?" He looked at me firmly with determined eyes. "I will choose to die with my wife. It is the only thing that I can do for her now. I will follow her into the eternal hunt."

Nothing could be said about his loyalty to his wife except that he was a great mate to her. She had dragged him down this path, and he was dealing with the consequences of it like a mature adult. He also didn't want to face life without her.

"Fine. If that is your choice, then I will make sure that your death is swift." I offered him a consoling nod.

"That is all I could ask for."

"Close your eyes." I informed him. I didn't want him to suffer through watching his wife die. It was enough that he was dying for her; he didn't need to see that part as well.

Avery did as he was told and closed his eyes. His head tilted back. I walked behind him and wrapped my arm around his neck.

"I am truly sorry for this, Avery. I hope you find peace in the hunt."

With a quick move of my arm and a flex of muscle, I pulled as hard and fast as I could. In less than a second his head had been removed from his body, and the two women on either side of him were soaked in his blood. The men that were with us had all stepped back and out of the way. Zennia, understandable, was screaming in fear. Karyn, however, was staring wide-eyed and silent for once.

"I will leave the other two to you gentlemen." I looked at the others that had come with me. Bastian, Laremy, Lucian, and Deek were all there to avenge Jacy just the same as I was. They all looked at the women with narrowed eyes and predatory grins as they advanced on them.

Laremy and Deek were taking care of Zennia while Bastian and Lucian focused their attention on Karyn.

Laremy and Deek weren't being as vicious as I thought they would be. Probably because Zennia was a secondary pawn in the whole thing. They each grabbed her around the throat and pulled hard, almost as quickly as it had been for Avery; Zennia's head was separated from her body, spraying them with blood.

Lucian and Bastian, however, were being a lot more thorough. I turned to see that they had each grabbed an arm and were pulling like it was a game of tug of war. After a couple seconds, her arms came off her body, and she was screaming. Lucian grinned and used the hand of the arm he was holding to slap her in the face.

"Hush, you stupid bitch." 

That was funny, she slapped herself.

I continued to watch as the two men torturously killed the woman. I don't know if the killing blow they used was what took her life, or if it was just loss of blood that killed her. They had done so much damage to her body, it was hard to say what the actual cause of death was.

I didn't care. She was dead, and that was all that mattered to me.

My shirt had gotten a little blood on it when I decapitated Avery, but I was nowhere near as bloody as the others were. I would have been able to go home right away but I didn't know if they wanted that.

"Just go." Lucian told me. "At the moment, we've got a little too much bloodlust in us. We need to clean up and calm down. Tell Jacy we will come see her tomorrow." His words were growled when he spoke; he was losing control of the bear inside of him.

"Tell her the good news. And let her know that there is nothing left to worry about. At least not from these pieces of trash." Bastian added with a screech in his voice as the owl tried to come out.

"Thank you. You all need to take care." I nodded at them. "Don't get yourselves into too much trouble. And do like you said, come by the house tomorrow." I started to walk away. "Oh, Bastian, Laremy, don't worry. EZ can stay at our place tonight. You can pick him up tomorrow."

"Thank you."

"Much appreciated." They nodded at me.

I left then, heading home to my wife. It was time to see her beautiful face and tell her the good news. I wonder if she will be mad that she didn't get to help at all. Or will she just be glad that it was all over and done with so quickly. Knowing my badass mate, she would have wanted to help kill them. But she is pregnant and that is not something she should be doing at the moment. Nope, this was for the best.
