Alpha Nicholas If her words hurt Lily then she's doing a great job at hiding it. However, Shane is struggling to hold everything in. "Say what you want blue, I honestly don't give a fuck! You're going to pay for your sins and I'm more than happy to help you along." "She's boring me now. End her baby girl and we'll head out for dinner," Shane shouts encouraging Lily while also making her laugh. She gives him a nod before moving and only stopping once she's right in front of Blue. "Your problem, Blue, is you tend to underestimate people. You think that I won't end you but you're so fucking wrong. While I may not be as evil as you and may not have it in me to torture you as you deserve, don't think for one second that I don't have it in me to end you. Now, say goodbye because you are done!" "Sure, Lily. Sure." Blue rolls her eyes but they soon widen with shock when Lily grips her head in a firm hold before twisting it hard and snapping her neck. Her head rolls to the side, the life in her gone and I watch as Lily lets out a breath of relief. "She's gone," she whispers as she turns to face me. "I'm sorry if her death was too easy for what she did to your mate but I just..." I shake my head as Shane arrives at her side, wrapping his arms around her. "It doesn't matter how you killed her. You wanted to be the one to end her and you did and I'm proud of you for that Lily. You may be my brother's mate but after what you have just done for my mate... Fuck, I'll always have your back, regardless of who your mate is." Her eyes shimmer with tears but she doesn't let them fall instead, she nods at me while smiling just before Shane starts leading her away from Blue's body. "One down, three to go!" Robbie chirps sounding happy as fucking Larry. "You fucking bastards!" Bonnie's dad suddenly screams. I think his reaction was very delayed. I turn my attention to him as I walk over to him until I'm standing next to Elder Rick. "The only bastard here is you. You see while I was thinking about all of the ways that I could kill you, one thing kept coming to mind. While you have always been a bastard to Bonnie, there's nothing you wouldn't do for Rowan and Blue so, I figured the best form of punishment for you would be to watch your children's lives end before your own eyes." He shakes his head for the first time showing true fear and that just confirms that I'm right. I know Elder Rick said that he would die first but he hasn't disagreed with me so I can only assume that he's all for it. "So back to you." I point at Rowan as I move back over to him. I think he's finally realised that we ain't messing around as gone is any cockiness he had and in its place is fear and I'm glad. I want him scared. I want him to fear for his life. It'll never be enough for what he did to Bonnie but it's something. "Any final words, dickhead?" He looks around the room before putting his eyes back on me. "Tell Bonnie I'm sorry. I shouldn't have behaved like I did. I'm sorry." I'd like to believe him but I don't. He's up to something and I'm not about to fall for it. "I will but don't expect forgiveness from her. Your death will be a relief and nothing else." His eyes widen with shock. "You're still going to kill me? I've apologised. What more do you fucking want?" Spittle flies from his mouth as rage quickly takes over his body. So, that was his plan. He thought he could apologise and that would get him out of being killed. Jesus Christ, this guy is even more crazy than I thought. "Oh, so fucking lucky. You thought you could talk yourself out of it with that pathetic ass apology but you were wrong, so wrong. There's nothing that you could do or say that would change what's about to happen to you." I can see the mix of disappointment and anger in his eyes but he doesn't say a word. He knows he's done and he trying to act strong and dignified but I see the fear and that is enough for me. "Say goodbye to your dad." Bonnie's dad starts screaming and shouting but I drown out the noise and keep my attention on the bastard in front of me. I can't torture him as I would like. The Elders don't agree with that kind of violence but I can still make him suffer before he dies. I land several more punches to his body feeling fucking happy when I hear several bones break beneath my hands. He tries to hold in his wimpers but he fails and their music to my ears. "You should never have treated my mate like you did but you did and now you will pay the price for it." Before he can spill any more bullshit I punch into his chest and wrap my hand around his heart and start to move it around while I feel it beating in the palm of my hand. This action is extremely painful for a werewolf and Rowan's cry of agony is music to my ears. I let this go on for several minutes before pulling hard and ripping his heart out. His body immediately slumps and while he didn't suffer half as much as I would have liked, he's gone and Bonnie's free of him and that's all that matters. "Nice!" Both Robbie and Will cheer at the same time. "I have dinner plans so you're next." Elder Rick grunts as he moves in closer to Rowan. "I believe in the vows that I took when I became an Elder but that doesn't mean that there are times when I feel like a wolf deserves more punishment than I can give and you are one of those times." This is one of the reasons as to why I like Elder Rick so much. He's loyal to the elders but he's not afraid to tell you exactly what he thinks. "You should be grateful that we are here because if we weren't, I imagine that both you and your children would have suffered a lot more than you are going to." I watch his eyes go wide at Elder Rick's words. He knows he's right and I imagine he has a lot he wants to say right now but thankfully, he doesn't seem as dull as Rowan and keeps his mouth shut. "Today you die for your sins. Your time as a Beta is up and you will die a disgrace to our kind. Goodbye." He steps in closer to Bonnie's dad and snaps his neck so fast that I almost miss it. I wish he could have suffered more. He deserved to suffer more than Blue or Rowan did. He was her dad. He should have been protecting her but not only didn't he protect her, but he also let others hurt her. She'll be relieved that they are finally gone which I'm happy about of course, but I'll always wish that they had suffered more. "And last but not least." My head swings to the side when I hear my mother's voice. What the hell is she doing here? "Mom, everything ok?" She gives me a beaming smile and she walks over to me. "Yes, darling. I heard that we have a special guest here." She nods over to Lola and I can't help but smile. My mom is an angel. She would give anyone her last dollar if they needed it but you don't want to get on the wrong side of her, especially when it comes to her family. "I just wanted to pop in and have a chat. Is that ok?" I hear a laugh come from the door and see my father standing there watching my mom. That man is utterly devoted to her and wherever she goes, whatever she does he's always right behind her supporting her. "Of course, Mother." She nods her thanks and walks over to a terrified-looking Lola."You lovely girl are the worst kind of she-wolf and woman. You hurt and betray people and think that it's ok. You don't think anything will happen to you but you're wrong. Today your actions have caught up with you and you will pay for your sins. I heard what you said to my granddaughter and I'm not about to stand back and allow that to go unpunished. No one speaks to my grandbaby like that no one." Her words are cool calm and collected despite the anger that I know is working its way through her body. "Oh fuck off, you old hag. I will talk to my daughter how I want and it's got fuck all to do with you!" Lola shouts. Wrong fuking thing to say to my mom. She along with the rest of my family helped me raise Lottie and without them, I don't think either me or Lottie would be where we are today. Before anyone can do or say anything my mother wraps her hands around Lola's throat and squeezes with all she has. She may be an older wolf but fuck she's still got it as within seconds Lola slumps down, the life drained out of her once and for all. "I'm sorry, son. I didn't mean to kill her. I know that was for you to do but I just... the way she was talking about Lottie... I." I walk over to her and wrap my arms around her. Am I gutted that I won't get to end her for all that he has done to not only me but more importantly my mate and daughter? Yes, but I think my mom needed this. She's watched the hurt that woman has caused over the years and has comforted Lottie when she's been sad about not having a mom so yeah, while I'm gutted I didn't end her I'm not mad that my mom did it either. "It's alright, Mom. It doesn't matter who killed her. What matters is that she is gone now and she can't hurt Lottie anymore, or Bonnie for that matter." She smiles at me and places a kiss on my cheek just as my dad comes over and pulls her into his arms. He starts to walk her away from Lola's body and after saying goodbye he leads her outside and towards the pack house. "I'm glad that this matter has been dealt with. Alpha Nicholas, are you ok to deal with these bodies, or would you like some help." "We have it covered, Elder Rick. Thank you for your assistance today, it's much appreciated." He nods as he comes over to me and shakes my hand. "You're more than welcome, Alpha Nicholas. Wolves like them need taking down and I'm happy to be there for every single one. We wiped the world of four evil wolves today and I'm glad that we did. None of them were sorry for their actions nor would any of them have stopped doing what they were. Death was the only way to stop them." Within a few minutes, everyone is in talks about what has happened and how we will dispose of the bodies. The Elder's leave mid-conversation while Shane takes control of giving out orders. "Go to your mate and daughter." He tells me. I look straight at him and see nothing but care and compassion. He's not trying to take over. He knows that I need to be with them more right now and as my brother and Beta, he's giving that to me, and I'm grateful for that.
