Sooo.... New Chapter? :D
Note : This chapter will be starting off as a flash back and it will be written in the italics. When it is finished and returns to the present you'll see the change. Just trying to be clear in case any of you get confused. Without further ado, I present to you my lovely readers:
Payne's P.O.V
65 years ago, (The twins were ten)
"Stop!" Ironic really, the word meant to cease the action you were presently doing but in this case it made the act continue.
Father looked me in the eyes as he straightened. His eyes were the same dull black hole in his head that held so much evil in them and if it wasn't because I was accustomed to seeing his face I would have flinched away from the sight.
He had a rough scar running down the right side of his face, beginning at his eyebrow and finishing just beyond his jaw. This added to the menacing look he had together with the scull trim he had. He was the devil's son alright but what did that make me?
"What do you think you're doing boy?" He asked through gritted teeth. Clearly angry that I spoke without his permission but I didn't care. I couldn't help it. My anger took the best of me.
"Stop hitting her please father. Whip me as you please but spare my sister." I begged and met my sister's watery stare. Her eyes were red and puffy as she sat kneeling down on the ground. Her head held high but you could see she was ready to crumble onto the ground. The red streaks on her back from my father's personalized whip made out of barbed wire and silver to permanently leave marks on a werewolf's skin.
I almlst cried at the sight. My blooded sister was being beaten right in front of me and it was all I could do to declare that it be me instead.
The man laughed. A deep, husky noise emitting from his throat and stretched throughout the forest we stood in.
"You wish to spare you sister, with this sudden outburst you have? you are not a hero boy and its best you learn that now. She, here, has to be punished for what she had done, get over yourself boy, you cannot save her!" And with that I was pulled by a grip on my neck that dug into my skin. The rings he wore were always silver and as a werewolf himself he felt the pain but I assumed he loved the feel. The silver marks carved further into me and I held in my scream in chance to prove to my father that I would be strong, if even just to save my sister from his wrath but bravery wasn't awarded by my father. He despised it.
He dragged me across the way so I landed in front of my sister who in front of my father's eyes shifted her own away from me and her face bore no scar or mark because he had often said it was to perfect of a replica of mine mother's to be hurt but now wore the scar of a broken girl on its beautiful canvas.
It broke my heart to see her like this.
"Watch!" He yelled and lifted my head with one hand so I held the stare of my sister once more and she only held her eyes up in fear of him but she had too much to fear when it came to that man we called father.
For the first time, even after my mother died when I was but six years old. I cried.
I cried as he whipped my sister in front of my own eyes and with ever hit and every flinch she made he yelled at me,
"is this what you wanted?"
"Do you feel like the hero now?"
"You are nothing boy!"
"Every lash I place upon her skin is because of you."
And lastly. He yelled and this was repeated to me everyday.
"You are the cause of destruction and nothing good will ever come from anything you do."
And it was true.
Presently.
I sat there on the ground of my room. I couldn't go on the bed, it was covered in the glorious lavender scent of Alexis and it would make the hole in my chest grow even more. My wolf was fucking killing me.
From the minute I heard her tiny footsteps after she gave up pounding on the door, I knew she left but what did I expect her to do. I told her to go. Maybe this was for the best. Letting her go, giving her the freedom she was supposed to have since she left her pack but fuck me, the hole in my chest was new and it hurt like hell and there was a voice in my head that was screaming at me to go get my mate back.
She stood up to me, she was short and fragile and tiny but she stood up to me. Her voice and her determination enough to break down a mountain but I couldn't let her get through to me. I'd ruin the poor girl.
She was so short. I never noticed how short she truly was. She didn't meet my colar bone much and her dirty blonde hair was an even better view from looking down onto the golden and brown locks.
She was indeed the most beautiful girl I had ever laid eyes on and her heart was made out of gold.
She was worth so much and her freedom was what she needed. I couldn't give her what she wanted, I didn't even know how to speak to her when she basically handed me my ass earlier and I chickened out. Since when do I fucking do that? Did my dick disappear over night or something?
This was good. Alexis leaving. My wolf would cool down after a run later but now he was howling in my head. This was the best thing for her, the only thing I could truly give her.
I'm destruction and I didn't want to be the cause of her demise. I could barely tolerate her tears.
I stayed there, seated on the ground for what felt like hours but when I checked the clock it truly was.
She had four hours to get away from me now and I'm sure she must have reached human civilization already. This was good.
Getting up from the ground I walked into my bathroom and wasted another hour as I took a bath, when I returned to my room however, I caught a whiff of Alexis' scent from the bed sheets and my wolf started to hum again and the hole grew.
She was gone.
I found myself crawling into the bed and her scent blanketed me as I laid there.
I had to keep reminding myself that this was better for her as I laid there and with no time, I fell asleep.
********
"Payne!"
A voice screamed from the other end of my door. I woke up in a rush and jumped off the bed landing in a fighting stance but when the voice called again I relaxed. It was just Payge.
I heaved a loud groan. "What?"
"The Alpha of the RedMoon pack is here to see you and if you didn't give permission for these fuckers to walk up in here I would be ever so happy to take out the sons of bitches." Payge said her voice hopeful.
Shit. Wasn't the meeting tomorrow? Or did I sleep into tomorrow?
Fuck. Me.
"Send him to my office on the first floor." I instructed as I began to make my way to the bathroom.
"Tried that already but he says he's waiting for someone so you can meet him on the front lawn. If you don't mind me asking, where's Alex?"
The name alone had the hole coming back. I thought it was gone but noo Payge had to be the twin to bring back the memories of what took place yesterday.
"None of your fucking business." I growled out and slammed the bathroom door for her to get the idea.
After my trip to the shower and so on I got out and dressed in a black T-shirt, some black ripped jeans and a pair of shitkickers then passed a hand through my black hair. I hated my reflection, I didn't like seeing a picture of my mother and father combined into me. Payge was beautiful but she was very much like our mother indeed.
Walking away from the mirror and cursing myself for even calling this stupid meeting that wasn't even going to make sence now because I let her go, I made my way to the front lawn.
Hallway, take a left then keep going until the giant double doors.
And then there I was. Pulling open the door I came out toward the front lawn and caught view of the Alpha and was immediately enraged. This was the sick bastard that let all those bad things happen to Alexis. The possessive mate in me wanted to rip his head off but there was no need. She was free now.
"Mr. Vincent." The Alpha greeted me and I stopped walking and leaned against the door folding my hands over my chest.
"I let her go so get the fuck out."
"But Mr. Vincent, I know that you let her go and I'm very grateful for it. I thought it would have been harder to get her from you since she was your servant as you had informed me but thank you. I can assure you that she is in good hands now." He stated and I raised a brow.
"What are you talking about?" I asked but I was already putting the pieces together. Straightening up and trying to keep my anger under control I waited for his response.
"Ah, here they come sir." He informed me before turning and facing the forest in front of us.
Then I caught the scent. The beautiful lavender scent of Alexis but the scent mixing with it had my blood boiling. There was blood but that was only part of the reason I got angry. A male werewolf's scent was all over her.
It took all my self control to remain standing in one place with my face completely blank as Alexis stepped out of the forest accompanied by a man who's hand was wrapped around her waist.
Mine! No! Fuck no! Please goddess above no!
My vision was turning red with rage and it surprised me that I was angry. I normally didn't get upset much, well angry to this extent.
"See Mr. Vincent. I supposed you let her go to us. Dimitry here found her last night and since his mate has left him I have granted him her as a gift for getting her." The Alpha stated and my hands began to shake from the need to murder these people but my face was as straight as a pin.
"Mr. Vincent. It is an honor to be in your presence." The mutt Dimitry said and his grip on Alexis' waist tightened. She was in her same clothes from last night and her eyes lingered everywhere but on me. Her dirty blonde hair was a mess framing her face and a haunted expression marked her face. The man holding her was obviously taller than her and his brown hair and hazel brown eyes might have seemed friendly but I could read through his mask.
"It was the least I could do to express my gratitude to you Mr. Vincent. Thank you. We have to plan our mating ceremony now but you are more than welcome to join us on our land." The Alpha informed me and I didn't trust my words so I gave a simple nod.
The Alpha returned the nod and Dimitry gave a wave and as they all turned away Alexis' deep blue eyes lifted to mine and that was what had that hole in my chest spread throughout my entire body.
Fuck composure and fuck not good enough for her. She was not going to be safe with those fuckers and if they think for a second I'm letting her go with them. They're dumb as fuck.
"Stop." As they did what I instructed the Alpha turned to me. A look of reverence in his eyes. "Leave the girl and go. She's mine."
The Alpha's eyes opened wide and I noticed Dimitry's grip on Alexis' waist tighten. That definitely was going to leave a mark. I could see the look of surprise on Alexis' face together with relief but she didn't look up at me.
"But M-"
"Don't fuck with me now. Give me the girl and get the fuck off my property." I growled out and bared my elongated cainines.
"Dimit-"
"Alpha, she's mine! You gave her to me! I found her and she's rightfully ours! This man has no right to keep her and I'm not letting her go!" Dimitry growled out growing possessive over what is mine. Talk about a fucking death wish. I inclined my head to the side studying this stupid fucker as the Alpha pleaded with him to just hand her over.
He didn't listen and lifted Alexis in his arms and began to run.
Bad. Fucking. Move.
Before the Alpha could plead with me I was already off in a dead run going after the kid.
I caught up to them in no time and with my claws elongated I dug them into the sides of his neck going deep. I let out a loud growl and ripped off his piece of his flesh and as he tumbled onto the ground I caught Alexis into my arms but that wasn't enough. He had his hands on her. Reaching to his sides in one quick pull they were both detached from his body and blood began to spray out of the open wounds spraying over my face and clothes. Some even getting onto Alexis. The last thing I did was rip his heart out and I left him lying there on the ground as I made my way back with Alexis in my arms.
She didn't say anything and just stared at the bleeding body on the ground.
I couldn't resist the growl that escaped my mouth once more. Declaring that what was in my arms were mine.
Walking back to the castle with Alexis in my arms I growled at the Alpha that stood still on my lawn and in no time he was changing into his dark brown wolf and running off.
Holding Alexis in my arms I didn't notice how strong the scent of the other male was on her and I had to place her in front of the door and I stood away from her. She looked at the floor.
"A-are you okay?" I managed and only then I noticed how broken my voice sounded. What the fuck?
Her eyes raised to mine and she left them there. "Payne." Was the only word that left her mouth and before I knew it she covered the distance between us and did the scariest fucking shit ever.
She hugged me.
