*Pipers POV*
I wake. There are bits of dry wall crumbled around me.
What happened? Then I suddenly remember.
Wade.
I need to get to Wade.
How long was I out?
I hear a massive commotion. It is a cacophony of sounds. I run to the window. I look down. There is a massive crowd. It looks like the entire pack and I look to the middle of the crowd and there are Wade and Jason already fighting.
No not yet, I have to get to Wade.
I have to be there. I run to my bed and grab the silver knife. Jason is going to die today one way or another. I run to my door. I nearly take the door off the hinges. I throw open the door of the apartment. I use my speed to get down the stairs. I throw open the door to the pack house I race around to the training ground.
What if I don’t make it in time?
I reach the crowd of people. I push through. The crowd is 10 people deep. All the way around. I force my way through. I need to get to him. I finally break through. I look at the scene in front of me. Xander is lying dead at Callums feet his throat ripped out. I look up and see my worst fear is realized.
There is Wade held by Jason. His body is going limp he can't breathe. I fall to my knees tears rolling down my cheeks.
“Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo”
I howl. I failed him. I wasn’t here. I got here too late.
My Wade, my love, my everything.
GONE.
*Wade POV*
“Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo”
I hear the mournful howl. With my last dying breath. It ignites something inside of me. I look at the source of the sound. My eyes fall upon Piper, she is on her knees. Tears falling like waterfalls as she looks at me dying in front of her.
With all that she has been through over the last year I have never actually seen her look so broken. Her body has always been the thing getting broken but now it is like I am seeing her heart actually break before me eyes.
Suddenly images and sounds flash before me. The site of her half dead laying battered and bruised on the bed, the way I felt when I first saw that. The sounds of her first time. When Jason took forcefully what was not his to take. Cleaning her bruised and battered body. Wiping her tear stained face. The sound of Jason raping her while I hid under the bed, not being able to help her, then having to run away out the window and not be able to comfort her like I wanted to do more than anything. When she got moved upstairs away from me. When I couldn’t see her every night. When I had to just lay there at night cold and alone. Imaging the state she would be in. Having to go to different pharmacy to chase up the pill for her. Because she didn’t want to have the pups that would results from the daily s****l abuse she copped. All her bruises and blood. Her laceration and broken bones. The stronger her wolf would get the worse the beating would get. Her beauty beat away. The constant pain she has been in. The image of the un healed cut on her wrist. When she couldn’t take anymore of this horrible world. When she decided the only way out of all this was to leave, to leave me in this world without her. Suddenly I hear a whisper in my ear.
“You are going to die now, and you can't even fathom the pain and misery I am going to put her through now. She will pay dearly for her love for you”
I can't die. I need to protect her. I need to save her
She has been through so much and I have just stood by. Not any more. I am going to get revenge for her. I am going to get Justice for her.
I get a sudden burst of strength and energy. I flip him over my back. He lands with a thud on the ground. I grab him by the throat and lift him in the air. His feet dangling hopelessly off the ground. This time I don’t hesitate. I extend my claws and rip straight through his chest pulling his heart out of his chest. His eyes wide in realization of what has just happened. His eyes flash bright green and he looks a Piper.
*Piper POV*
I am lost in my grief I can't deal with the loss of Wade. Suddenly I hear something in front of me. Wade has got up. I stand up. He is alive.
I am here now.
I can help.
I have no idea what I am meant to do. I can't interfere. There are rules to an Alpha battle. As soon as Wade is free. I notice that Jasmine is heading towards him. She has a silver dagger raised.
Ha I don’t think so b***h.
I run straight at her. I am on all fours. My wolf and I are as one. I haven’t shifted but I am half woman half beast.
I lunge at her. Biting off the hand holding the dagger before she even sees me coming. The hand drops out of my mouth. Blood is everywhere. The hand is still in my mouth. There are bits of flesh in my teeth. I don’t let that stop me.
She swings at me in shock. Her forearm or nub I should call it has a torrent of blood pouring out of it. With her other hand she extends her claws and goes for my throat. I dodge and take her down hard onto the ground. I grab the knife that is still in her severed hand and plunge it straight through her heart. I sit straddled on top of her head body and cast my eyes at the fight. I see Wade grab grab Jason around the throat and lift him off the ground. I watch as with one swift movement Wades hand enters Jason chest and rips out his heart.
Jason turns to face me. His eyes bright green. I suddenly realize all the times I have seen those eyes before. It was when he showed my affection when he caressed my body. Cared for me the only time he showed me something else.
It was Jasons wolf.
He cared for me as much as he could with such a evil human in charge. he tried to show me something else by showing me a tender side a pleasurable side.
It all makes sense.
Jasons body gets dropped to the ground.
I breathe a sigh of relief. It is all over. Suddenly a massive pain in my chest.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”
I scream unable to hold it in.
I roll off Jasmine's body.
I clutch my chest. The pain immense. I think my heart is trying to rip out of my body. I can't do anything. I am finally free from him. But our mate bond is going to take me down with him. I am going to die the same way as him, my heart will rip out of my chest and this will all be over.
“Piper no, please don't leave me”
Wade comes running toward me as I lay on the ground clutching my chest, screaming.
