Cole’s p. o. v
“Alpha!” Cobi called loudly from behind.
My breath was labored and all I could see was the beautiful color red covering the floor.
Naomi was on the ground with claw marks and deep cuts.
Her breath was very low and she wasn’t moving at all.
I looked at my hands which had dripping blood then smirked.
“Cobi,” I called huskily.
“Yes, Alpha.” He answered in a respectful tone.
“Did you just raise your voice on me?” I asked seriously.
When a second went by without his response. I slowly turned and faced him.
His eyes were fixed on the ground and his neck bared.
“Please forgive me. I was wrong to do that.” He whispered.
“What do you think of that Ace?” I asked silently.
“Let it slide, just this once.” He huffed proudly.
We felt better and more content over seeing Naomi struggle to stay alive. We really wanted her dead, but then we gave our word to our mate. We couldn’t have her dying, not just yet.
“I’ll let it slide just this once Cobi. There won’t be a next time.” I said calmly while I made sure my dominance was lanced in my voice and every word.
“Thank you alpha.” He answered.
“Also, clean up this mess. We can’t have her dying so soon.” I said seriously.
He looked up and met my eyes in shock.
“What?. You thought I was going to kill her?” I asked with a lifted brow.
“Yes.” He answered softly.
“I too would love to rip her into pieces, sadly I can’t ….. for now. Not until Emily approves of it.” I said then walked to the door.
I was in the wardroom of our pack clinic. Naomi was brought in an hour ago to be treated, and I paid no attention to that.
But when I saw the huge bruise on Emily, I wanted her and all those that had watched everything happen dead. I put on a calm act around Emily when I was dying to cut those women into pieces from the inside.
My mate was human and knew nothing of our kind. Killing came naturally to us, but not to her kind. Humans were truly fragile and got easily scared. I wasn’t going to ruin what I had with her, I was going to act good and kind around her. But once I was far away from her beautiful gaze, I was going to handle everything my own way. And that included killing everyone that opposed and did anything against what was rightfully mine.
I opened the door and walked out. A few women who were helpers and staff of the clinic quickly lowered their gaze to the ground and bore their necks.
Behind them was Betty who seemed rather tense.
“Betty,” I called.
“Yes, Alpha.” She answered in a cracking voice.
“A word,” I said then walked to my left expecting her to follow along.
I glanced at the sides and saw her following me behind.
I opened the door to the second room without hesitation and walked in. It was an empty ward.
“Um… excuse me,” Betty whispered then walked in too.
I walked to the bed and sat down lazily.
“Can you now explain to me clearly, what the fuck you were doing to my mate,” I demanded.
“Alpha… I was just checking her bruises.” She answered in fear.
“By asking her to strip naked and being rough with her?” I asked coldly.
She swallowed hard then shook her head a few times.
“And now you can’t find your voice huh, do you want to die?” I asked as I stood up and took a few steps ahead.
“Alpha please do forgive me. I was wrong.” She whispered then sniffed.
I could smell her tears despite her facing the ground.
She wasn’t wrong treating my mate at all. I was angry and frustrated, I wanted someone dead to fill the thirst to kill I felt.
“Let this be the last time,” I whispered then walked past her.
“Thank you Alpha.” She whispered back.
I opened the door and stepped out with a low sigh.
“I still want to cool off,” I said silently to Ace then walked to the bathroom ahead.
I walked in and went straight to the sink opening the tap.
I placed my hands there and carefully washed off the blood.
When I glanced at my shirt I noticed that it was covered in bloodstains.
“Let’s lose this,” I said to myself then ripped off the shirt and walked out of the bathroom and clinic.
“Should we pay the other ladies a visit?” I asked Ace calmly.
“You know what my answer is.” He answered.
“Then let’s visit them. My hands are itching for a short play as it is.” I said then walked to where the silver cells were.
“Cole.” Emily’s voice came through our mind link.
I immediately halted my movements.
“I need your help …..”
Before she could finish her sentence. I found myself rushing in the pack house at full speed.
I pushed the door open and found her seated on the bed with widened eyes.
“Help with what?” I asked in a labored breath.
“Putting this on.” She answered with a shocked expression on her face while lifting one of my shirts in her hand.
“A shirt?” I asked dumbly.
“Yes, it hurts a little whenever I move. You know, I have to unbutton it then wear it.” She answered softly.
I smiled feeling defeated, she really was something else. Here I was feeling so worried over her words when what she needed was to put on my shirt.
“Why are you shirtless?” She asked in a whiney voice.
“I was doing something and my shirt became so dirty I got rid of it. Speaking of my shirt, I was wondering how sexy you would look in that one. The one that you had on earlier was way too sexy as well.” I answered as I moved closer and sat next to her.
She smiled then lowered her gaze.
I lifted my hand and pressed it on her cheek gently making her lookup.
“Although to be honest. I prefer you naked.” I whispered then leaned in and kissed her lips gently.
It felt divine to have a mate by my side.
