My heart hammered in my chest as I paused in my tracks. My brother’s words rang in my head. Explode!
What kind of sick game is this madman playing, my wolf howled loudly in my head for its mate. Her sobs could not be heard properly due to the gag on her mouth, only her tears could be seen flowing down her cheeks. Looking at her, I notice a bandage on the side of her head, and my blood boils with rage, how dare Henry hurt my mate.
My heart broke a million times seeing her this way, she is innocent and does not deserve all this pain, and it’s all because of me. Henry wants revenge for what happened a year ago, and now my innocent mate has to face the consequences.
” Henry!!!” I yelled his name as I stood on my feet.
” Stop yelling Liam, this is not your pack grounds,” Henry says coming out from a hidden door inside the office, must have been where he kept her.
” Let her go, she is not involved in this mess that you created yourself, you want me, right? I am here now let the girl go!” I say.
” Not involved? Uh, Liam, she became involved from the moment the goddess chose her as yours. From the moment you found out, she is your mate!” he yelled back at me.
She was scared, I know, I looked her way and saw her eyes staring right at me with tears in them, her heart beating fast. I could hear it, I walked up to Henry in slow strides, my eyes not leaving his. I saw him move back a little, coming close to him, I notice a bruise on his throat, which I am guessing to be from my grip earlier.
Before I could say a word or do anything, he raised his hand, making me realize he held on to a remote.
” Take one more step and I will blow up your precious mate into pieces,” he says with an evil smirk on his face.
” You wouldn’t dare,” I mutter, my wolf clawing its way to the surface.
” Oh I would, I will gladly push this button, and you would get to watch your mate die, even before you mark or mate her.”
I halted in my tracks, my eyes stalking his every movement, he strolled toward a weeping Macy and untied the gag from her mouth, I had to be cautious this is not a normal werewolf anymore. He has gone insane, I would not want to do anything stupid that will cost the life of my mate.
” Henry, we can handle this in our way, let go of the girl let’s settle this once and for all,” I said to him as I approached them in slow strides.
” Stay right where you are, Liam, or I’ll push the button.” I halted at his words, my wolf whimpering for his mate in my head.
” Now let’s tell Macy a story, shall we?” he says while laughing.
I look at my mate, and she is still crying, but this time there are no more tears, maybe a human can cry their tears out until they dry up because I think that is what has happened to my mate.
” Let’s start first by telling her what we all are now, shall we?”
” Who would do the honors, uh? Will it be you, Derick? Or me? Oh yes, I know who should do it, yea Liam can do the honors.” he declares.
I stare at this crazy man who was once an Alpha but has now been reduced to this all because of greed.
” You were once a great Alpha Henry, how did you let yourself be reduced from leading a pack to being an abductor of a harmless human girl, who has done nothing to you.”
” Yes, I was once an Alpha, leaving my life just the way I wanted, I had everything until you came, until you came and destroyed that life. You and that stupid brother of mine!” he yells, walking up to me with rage in his eyes.
Distraction, yes that is my plan to distract him away from her, I have to get that remote from his hands and out of his reach.
” Henry, what you did was unforgivable, those children were innocent, and you brought tears to the eyes of those poor families, for what uh? Just for your selfish needs, Henry you have never cared for anyone apart from yourself, you are a selfish prick who puts himself first even before your pack, and your mate!” I yell at him.
He shakes his head at me,” No, No, No, I loved her, I loved her so much, I did. You…you took her from me, you killed her!” he screams in the last line.
And before I could tell, he launches himself at me, making us collide as we both fall to the floor, he struggles with me on the ground, and we start fighting, throwing punches at each other.
I had already mind-linked my brother, of the plan, I distract Henry while he gets Macy out of there safely.
We fought with each other still in our human forms, the way he fought shows how angry he was, due to the fight, the remote of the time bomb was now out of his reach and far from him,
” Derick what are you still doing, get her out of here.” I mind-linked to my brother.
” Liam, this is a time bomb, and if I am not careful enough, then it could go off,” Derick explains through gritted teeth while trying to get the bomb from her body.
Our fight was getting heated, this was not the normal boxing fight men have, this was now too strong Alphas facing each other, Henry might have been stripped of his Alpha title and is now Rogue, but that does not mean his strength is diminished, he still has the blood of an Alpha running through his veins, as his title was passed down to him by his father who was an Alpha.
Derick finally gets the time bomb off her body and carries her in his arm, my wolf yelps with jealousy seeing her in my brother’s arms, I notice her writhing in his arms not wanting to leave, as she looks my way with fear-filled eyes. She was scared for me and didn’t want to leave me behind. If only she knew what I am capable of doing.
” Take her to the car and get her far away from here, Derick, drive as fast as you can to Waterfall, I’ll meet with you when I am done with this Lunatic.” I mind link to Derick, still fighting viciously with an angry Henry.
My brother nods his head at my words and walks fast toward the exit of the large room, with a writhing Macy in his arms, I spare her one more glance, before they both disappear through the door.
Seconds later, I see Derick running back inside the room with Macy in his hands, with an angry look on his face, what the fuck is he doing, I mutter to myself, still in combat with Henry.
Just then I noticed three Rogues follow suit into the room, still in human forms but growling at my brother and my mate, their eyes shining in that of their wolf’s as they stalked Derick.
Derick places her on the ground and turns to face them as he growls back at them, he took a protective stance in front of Macy, covering and protecting her from them.
In the blink of an eye, they attack Derick all at once, and he starts fighting with all of them alone with a frightened Macy behind him.
