Caged Between the beta & alpha

I smiled , staring at the old , stained passport – sized photograph in my hand .

The smell of disinfectant was strong in the air , nice and clean .

” I did it .

I have hurt them .

She won’t survive now …  I rocked back and forth , my grip on the photograph tight .

” Everything has been destroyed … I’ll avenge you … I’ll make you proud … and I’ll make him fall in love with me …

He will be mine … all mine … all mine … ” ” My breathing became ragged as the excitement within me grew .

” And as for her … I’ll make sure I add her t HE o my collection … I was almost there … Soon , soon he’ll notice that I am the one he needs .

Soon ! ” Are you proud of me ? Are you watching me ? ” I whispered heavily ; my breathing

ragged as I stared at the picture , unblinking .

” Yes , you are , you are … You have to be proud ! I will get revenge for you ….

For our family … For everything … But it’s ok if I take him for myself … right ? You won’t be angry with me , will you ?

” No … No , you won’t .

Because I will make you happy too … I stroked my finger down the photo , smiling .

Oh … yes … He will be all mine … Mine … Mine … I can taste it .

That vengeance , that darkness in the air …

The fear … Everyone is scared now … Scared of who would be next … But they won’t know , they’ll never know , because I will kill them when they least expect it … But I had my next targets already decided They’ll never see me coming …

No one ever does … And now that the Alpha has committed a crime … Oh , this pack will be destroyed , from the inside ! Yes , from the inside ! Now …

Who shall we kill next ? I hid the photograph away , sliding it between the gap between the wall and the skirting board , and stood t up .

I had two options ; I didn’t like either of them , and since Monica was kept far too safe , then I’ll settle for either of these ….

I smiled as I tapped my chin , him or her ?

Which one … Eenie Meenie miney ” Wait ! Of course … It has to be him ! Oh my … him and then his mate ! Why didn’t I do this sooner ! Oh my , please don’t be angry at me .

I will avenge you … I will … I will ! My eyes darted around my bedroom , I needed to clean it up once more … I didn’t want any clues to be left behind …

Grabbing the cloth and the disinfectant spray , I stared at the clean boards … They were clean , but I couldn’t help but see the non – existent bloodstains .

It’s always good to be safe … Always ….

I dropped to my knees , brushing my hair the floor .

back as I began to hum softly , cleaning ” Scrub , scrub , scrub … ” DAMON Watching the doctors shouting … being told that Kiara was on her way ….

The sound of Raven’s heart rate picking up and dropping … Zack and Taylor trying to hold me back … Someone trying to check me ….

I couldn’t leave her ! But the doctors didn’t want me there , I hated it ! I should have been protecting her … I should have been fucking faster … A blast of powerful magic and a rush of wind filled the hall , making every paper o n the wall move .

All three of us raised our arms , shielding our faces from the whipping wind when two women appeared before me .
