Tyler’s P.O.V.
~Let me kill him!~My wolf Titan snarled at me, as soon as we saw who it was that had ran out of Bec’s house.
NO
~I want to kill him!~ he snarled again, louder this time.
NO
~LET ME OUT!~
NO! He is all mine!
And as I shut my own wolf out, I made my way towards the fucker who had threatened not only my best friend and Luna of this pack, but my own f*****g mate as well!
Tim…
The greasy longer hair, the foggy eyes. I should have seen him coming from a mile away.
Tim…
The fucker who had made my life a living hell.
Tim…
The asshole who had made his friends use me like a living punching bag.
Tim…
The monster who had raped the love of my life, right in front of me.
Tim…
The one who was responsible for Tamara’s death.
Tim…
The one I was going to kill, right f*****g now!
He had come running out of the house, his head yanking around in all directions, as if he was looking for something, or someone. Maybe he wanted to come after my mate again? I didn’t know, and I sure as hell wasn’t going to ask him nicely either. Because in that moment, I had taken the two last steps in order to catch up with him, I had lifted my fist and I had punched him straight to his face, which seemed to take him by surprise, as he stumbled and fell down. I didn’t even think, as I set myself on top of him, throwing punch after punch after punch. I saw blood coming out of his nose at some point, he coughed up blood on another… good, but still not good enough, since he was still breathing, meaning he was still alive. I wasn’t stopping now. Hell, I would never stop, not until he would be dead and stay dead forever. He had raped Tamara, gotten her pregnant, made her kill herself, and still it wasn’t good enough for this piece of work! Now that he had figured out that her little sister, Bec, was mated to an Alpha, he had come back to threaten her as well, claiming he wanted to take her money or he would take baby Nikki and take her away. Which I was not going to let happen anytime soon, not on my f*****g watch. Which is why this fucker had to die, right f*****g now!
I felt my own knuckles hurting at the constant contact that they made with Tim’s face at an immense force and speed, but it still didn’t stop me. I was in a haze, a dream state, I just couldn’t stop. I don’t know how long I had been going at it, but at some point, someone pulled me off of the fucker. I growled, wanting to get back at him, I needed to be sure that the fucker was dead for once and for all, but I sighed in relief, as I saw that the man who had pulled me off, started to punch Tim as well, and when I zoomed in to the new man’s face, I recognized him as the new Beta, Derek I believed was his name?
Huh?
Wonder what is his problem is with Tim…
As if I was finally coming back to my senses, I finally was able to hear again. And what I heard wasn’t pretty. I heard heartbroken cries, screams of horror, something that just sounded straight out of a horror movie. I looked up, seeing how something orange was reflecting on the grass that I was sitting on, only seeing now, that Bec’s house was on fire. The whole house was already up in flames.
Tim…
That motherfucker set Bec’s house on fire!
I was so f*****g busy kicking his ass, I hadn’t even noticed that Bec's house was burning down!
I crawled up, with every intention of getting back at the fucker, to finish what I had started, but I was pushed back again, feeling how I fell back into the grass. And I growled, loudly, at getting pushed away from where I needed to be.
“Let me kill him!” I growled, feeling a hard hand on my chest, forcing me to stop as I looked directly into the Beta’s dark eyes.
“No! Our Alpha will finish him, you’re not the only one who has a problem with him, here!” He growled back at me, and I squeezed my hands into fists, knowing there was no way in hell that I was going to win from a Beta, when we were standing on his f*****g pack lands…
“f**k!” I shouted, irritated, looking up again, hearing the house make crackling sounds, before it completely collapsed. It had been a matter of minutes, but Bec’s entire house was just… gone.
This makes no f*****g sense!
What the hell happened here?
The Gamma started shouting, something about the Alpha being back there with him, to which the Beta jumped on his feet, looking down at me again.
“Stay with him, if you kill him, I will kill you, understood?” He told me, his eyes burning on me with authority. I looked down at Tim, seeing he was nothing more than a puddle of blood by now, and nodded my head. I wasn’t getting up from the grass, but neither was he, I was damn sure of that. The Beta nodded, as he turned around and ran off, probably to go and help his Alpha, Archer, who was his number one priority. I had no clue how much time had passed, before warriors walked over towards me, telling me they were going to take Tim and lock him up in the cells. I just nodded, feeling so f*****g tired all of a sudden. Now that I fully started to understand what had happened back here.
I was done
I was free
This was it.
I had done what I had promised Tamara, I would do.
I had taken revenge for her.
Tim was dead, or he would be before the sun would come up anyway. I was finally free. And I couldn’t help but smirk at the thought, and I shook my head in awe, knowing that I had kept my promise to Tamara. For once in my life, I wasn’t a complete f**k up. For once in my life, I had done something that I could be proud of. I had finally protected what was mine…
Mine…
“Amber, are you OK?” I heard a male voice speaking, so I turned my head to look. My mate was standing there, f**k! MY MATE! I had totally forgotten about her in my complete frenzy. A man was standing with her. I had no idea who he was, or what his intentions were towards her, but the growl that left my throat, didn’t leave much to the imagination or the way I felt about it.
“Step away from her!” I growled at him, jumping back on my feet as I marched my way towards her, setting my two hands on the fucker’s chest as I pushed him back, hard.
“Hey, what the f**k, man!” The young guy shouted back at me, and I stepped forward, shielding my mate. I didn’t care who this little prick was, but my body was still high on adrenaline, if he wanted a fight, he could get it from me. Easily. But he wasn’t getting close to my girl.
My girl?
Fuck me…
“She’s mine! f**k OFF!” I growled at him, seeing how his eyes grew big, as he looked at my mate, once I had said the words out loud, hell… I even surprised myself, hearing the words coming out of my own mouth.
“Amber, are you good?” He asked her again, making me frown.
Shit
I had forgotten all about her and her feelings.
I hadn’t even asked her if she was doing OK…
I was so busy with my own s**t, that I had forgotten about her.
And for the second time tonight, I felt like the worst wolf in the history of werewolves.
“I’m OK. Thanks Josh.” My mate answered, her voice sounding soft like a f*****g summer evening breeze, and I frowned even deeper, realizing the mate bond was turning me into a freaking poet.
What the hell is happening to me?
I quickly turned around to face her, and once again, I was almost knocked off of my feet, seeing just how beautiful she really was. She wasn’t holding on to baby Nikki any longer, and I frowned, since I had no idea where the baby had gone to or who had taken her from my mate. Once again, I had been so busy with my own s**t, she could have easily walked away from me, and I wouldn’t even have noticed it! I was one f*****g dumbass!
Get a f*****g grip of yourself, Tyler!
But what surprised me the most, was that as soon as I turned around and reached out for her, she stepped back from me. Away from me!
Fuck…
Is she afraid of me?
“Hey, it’s OK.” I told her, my voice sounding much softer and friendlier now. Her eyes grew big as she kept looking at me. I had only known her for a couple of minutes, and she already feared me… I mean, how couldn’t she fear me? She had just watched me loose my s**t on Tim. She probably didn’t know the story behind it, but looking at it from her point of view… I had messed up. f**k! All she saw right now, was a freak.
“I won’t hurt you. I swear.” I promised her, reaching out to her again. A part of me wanted to hold her close, feel her warm skin and her heartbeat against my own, comfort her and even protect her, even though all the threats seemed to be far gone by now. But once again, someone walked over to us, making me wonder if pack members ever had some privacy around here.
FUCK MY LIFE!
I just want to be alone with her!
Be able to talk to her!
Shit… at least explain myself or apologize to her!
“Amber, are you OK?” I looked up at the guy who had walked over now, long and lean, longer brown hair. I saw him stand on stage tonight, he was the Gamma, Jason, I think was his name. Which meant that I needed to keep my mouth shut now, because clearly, this guy was higher ranked than me. I was a nobody, a simple wolf, a warrior. From another pack.
“I… I think I am.” Amber nodded her head, looking at the guy as if she had known him her entire life. She didn’t look intimidated around highly ranked wolves, which intrigued me in a way. I wanted to know what her story was, who she was to these men. And I f*****g felt jealous over it as well. She was f*****g afraid of me! This should have been the other way around, she should feel safe with me, her mate, and fear the Gamma that was standing in front of us!
“I would like to talk to you about what happened here tonight.” He told my mate, who nodded back at him almost immediately. She already took a step forward, but without even knowing that I was doing it, I had grabbed her and pulled her back again. Closer towards me.
“No.” I answered to the Gamma, shaking my head. No way in hell, was this guy going to take my mate somewhere to ‘talk’ right now. She was staying with me from now on! The Gamma seemed surprised by my response, his eyes shifting from me to my mate and back. Amber… I had heard other people speak out her name… My mate’s name was Amber… f**k, I loved the sound of that.
“No?” The Gamma asked me, one side of his mouth moving upwards in a small smile, as if he thought that it was funny that I was telling him otherwise.
“No, at least not tonight.” I stated again, shaking my head left to right.
“She has been through enough already. She will come by to talk tomorrow, right now, she needs to rest.” I growled at him, feeling how my wolf was getting the upper hand here. We felt f*****g protective over our mate, alright. So much, that it actually surprised me as well. I had never felt so protective over anyone ever before. The Gamma’s smile grew even bigger, as if he had just figured something out, but he nodded, looking back at Amber, who was standing right behind me.
“Ok. Amber, feel free to come by tomorrow, OK? I’ll question the attacker in the meantime.” Jason told her, to which I saw her nod her head from the corner of my eye. I swallowed, happy to know that I didn’t need to start a fight with the pack’s Gamma, because I sure as s**t would have started it if need be. But sure enough, the Gamma turned around and walked away from us, sending commands left and right to warriors who were still lingering at the scene. And finally, I found myself being alone with my mate, for the very first time.
What I didn’t expect, however, was the look on her face when I finally looked her way. She was looking at me as if she was ready to kick my ass.
Shit…
