Chapter 2: CHAPTER 2- SUDDEN SECRETS
" Kneel". My voice echoes through the pack house and in an instant everyone is on their knees including the walking fungus and her false mate.
"Now this is interesting wouldn't you say. I walk in to find an Omega covered in her own blood rolling down the stairs and then before I can say a word you feel as if you are entitled to talk before and above me ". Each and every word laced with venom as I slowly feel myself becoming more and more perturbed .
"Who was she?" I ask looking at the pack. Funny thing is not a single soul decided to open their mouth. So I scanned the room looking for the weakest link . One that would scare easily, not that I needed it but I did not wanna fight. Simply cocking my perfectly shaped eyebrow at the last she wolf at the back of the pack she decided to talk.
"Her name was Nikita your highness, she is the omega that was taken in by Alpha Dylan." she says with a slight stutter. "Why was she covered in blood?" I questioned knowing that she will talk unlike every other wolf in this damn good for nothing pack. " The soon to be Alpha with his chosen mate have been abusing Nikita ever since she stepped foot onto the pack land. They found out that she was Alpha Kaine's mate but he rejected her while his chosen mate did whatever she wanted to Nikita and that's what led to the situation of her rolling down the stairs" the omega spoke.
Now that is a bunch of BULLSHIT.
Nikita is my damn mate.
Before I could say anything I was interrupted......
"Shut that loose mouth of yours Omega" the walking fungus screams but little does she know when I'm done with this pack her head will be hanging from wall like a damn trophy right beside her beloved mates. "The alpha did not give you the damn right to open your mouth . You speak when spoken to and if you have nothing nice to say then don't say anything at all" Jackson states as he gets off the stairs where he was sitting which is something that doesn't surprise me.
Its completely normal for a beta to step in when their Alpha is being disrespected.
"Exactly where did you former alpha find Nikita?" I ask the Omega loving the way my mates name rolls off my tongue. "She was found drifting down the river, rumor has it that she came from the Blue Moon pack."
Jackson tenses next to me as the air becomes thick. "How long has this been going on?" I continue to ask with an uneasy feeling eating at my chest. "Since the day the previous alpha died my King" the helpful omega whispers and suddenly there's a furious growl leaving my heavy chest. My wolf , Storm is begging to be let lose. The idea of someone touching my mate is slowly driving us both insane.
"Every single person that had her do their chores, that had abused her, that had chosen to hurt her whether it be mentally or physically I hereby command you to stand." You can only imagine my in depth hunger for blood when the entire damn pack stood to their feet with fear as their bodies betray them. The only two that didn't stand was the omega who had answered every single question I had asked and what seems to be another male wolf.
" I hereby strip this pack of all titles and the status is hereby declared to that of rogues. From today on every pack member is to be presented before the justice court for abuse and neglect. I Ace Greyson , king of all alpha's hereby declare that this pack does not have the right to be a home for any pack and therefore declare that all wolves of the fall pack are now given the status of omega. If you are not happy you can become a rogue and fend for yourself outside these borders."
Before I could say anything else there's a shrieking sound flying through the air coming from none other than Cassie the fungus." You cannot do that for some random dumb omega that literally owns nothing but the clothes on her back!!!!! She is worth nothing, she is pathetic, weak, ugly, fat and has no right to be defended by you. Her parents left her and she has no one, she is a disgrace to this pack" she seethe's. With every word that leaves her mouth I take slow paced steps to her until I'm standing right in front of her, I gently pull my hands out of my pockets and gently place them on her face moving towards her neck slowly squeezing it harder and harder. Cassie's cheeks turning bright pink as her air ways slowly started closing . The audacity of the damn woman who just dragged her Queen's name through the mud. Her so called mate just stepped back leaving her side. She tried to turn and look at him but without saying a single word I snap her neck, members of the fallen pack do however cower back in fear, the silence becoming the packs best friend as you can her the ants moving on the grass outside. I smirk at the thought of taking each and every pack member off the face of this planet. Only a bit more painful and slower.
"Anyone else has something disgraceful to say against my mate who just so happens to be my damn QUEEN your fucking queen " I ask in a low voice but it vibrates the entire house.
Jackson looks at me with a knowingly and I know exactly what he is thinking, I would love to rip the empty heads off their necks but I couldn't care less right now. I had gotten all the information I needed and all I eagerly wanted to do was to get back to my car as soon as possible and make sure my mate was fine.
" The pack house is on lock down, no one is allowed out and no one is allowed in. The case with be presented in court on the first of next month once your queen is in good shape and healthy." Walking off with Jackson trailing behind me to my range rover. As soon as we step outside I jog on the path to my mate as panic washes through me at the fact that she is still has not woken up yet. "Step on it Lou" Jackson says jumping in.
We have been sitting in the medical wing for just a little over four hours with the nurses in and outing which to be honest it is driving me up the damn WALL. Suddenly the theater light goes off and my packs doctor steps outside bowing as he see's me. "Good Evening Alpha, Luna will take a while to recover but the surgery was successful. She has to be on bed rest for a month and she may be in severe pain but she has lost a lot of blood and we nearly lost her on the table. We wont the extent of her injuries until she is awake" he says in his humble voice. "Luna Nikita does however have 4 broken ribs, she had a fracture collarbone and a few contusions that didn't heal properly, we also noticed that she is still tiny and lacks all the important nutrition's, she will take some time to heal but she will heal none the less you guys may see her, Luna is in the Private room." he says gently. As he steps back slightly
Myself and Jackson walk to the room and quietly enter. There lays sleeping beauty with her black hair in a messy bun and her tanned skin looking pale as if she hasn't been kissed by the sun in years. She is hooked up to all these pipes and I slowly hear her heartbeat rest with ease. Jackson takes her hand gently as if he may hurt her. Remembering what the previous omega had told us , we knew we had to do a DNA test. What if she actually came from the winter pack.
When I get my hands on the alphas of that damned pack I will release all hell, I don't know how long my thoughts had been tormenting me when Jackson enters the room with a emotionless face.
"Unfortunately the DNA test will take 24 hours."
Jackson sits next to her holding her hand tightly." To be honest I know we don't need a DNA test. It's odd its like the missing piece has been found but I need you to wake up Niki. I'm so so sorry , you honestly did not deserve to start life off like this. I know its been hard and difficult but we , we being your mate and I, we wanna make things right he says while gently rubbing her hands.
I know we both know that she's from the Blue Moon pack but we just need that little confirmation. There's no way to deny that Nikita and Jackson aren't related they look alike through and through.
The last thing I remember is myself and Jackson talking about pack meetings and rescheduling everything not important so our focus can be with Nikita from the minute she opens her eyes. I don't actually remember falling asleep but I am woken up by the most soft little grunts . I was to busy nuzzling myself closer to the warmth when I heard the world's most amazing giggle. I sit up, instantly locking eyes with most beautiful hazel brown eyes one could ever have. "It tickles" Nikita whispers making a slight shiver run down my spine. I gently take her hands in my large one and place a gentle kiss on her smooth caramel toned hand. "Hello there gorgeous" I say softly as I run my free hand across her cheek when she flinches. She does not reply but instead sit as stiff as a tree.
Our moment is ruined as a semi- fresh looking Jackson enters the room with two hot chocolate cups. As he walks in he freezes, slowly handing me the drinks as he runs to the beauty who flinches. I so badly want to just hit him at the top of his round head. "Hey hey hey..... I promise I don't want to hurt you I just got excited. May I?" he questions with hopeful eyes. My queen sits still for a while and then nods. "Jackson" I warn him. " I won't hurt her" he quickly takes her into his arms squeezing her as she silently let's her tears fall. I quickly run up to her. "Hey princess what's wrong? Did he hurt you?" No words but she does however shake her head no.
Pushing Jackson off the bed so I can sit next to her. I notice that as she moves back further into the corner of the bed her eyes have not left the gold and black cup I have in my hand." Would you like to taste?"
"You can have whatever your golden heart desires my love" I reassure her while pressing the warm cup against her frozen hands. "Ummm I'm still here you know" Jackson says staring at his sister in awe as she reluctantly takes the cup from my hand.
*Introduce us Ace* Jackson shouts through mind-link. *Oh how I wish I could knock you upside your head* I respond sitting closer to Niki who looks at Jackson curiously. "I'm Ace Greyson and that is Jackson my beta". The moment she hears that she gets off the bed bowing deeply and I can't help but feel a deep emotion inside that I am unable to put my finger on. "Greetings your highness and Beta" I immediately stood up which caused her to flinch and crawl further back into the room. Slowly walking towards her I crouched down and pulled her head up gently so that we were eye to eye. "Princess you never have to bow when your with me, you are my equal." I state stepping closer while holding her closer to my chest. "I'm Jackson" he says with a smile. My gorgeous mate looks at him with confusion. "and I think I'm your brother" he says with excitement.
Nikita just stands there in her own thoughts but when she comes back to reality the words that leave her mouth has us looking like she has grown an extra head. "I was told you were dead" she says with a straight face.
"Who the fudge told you that" he asks as he tries to hide his anger and stay calm for his sister. "Alpha Dylan, he says you died trying to protect me from an attack that happened against the pack. He also went onto say that he was confident that it was you who left me drifting in the river because you blamed me for your......our.... parents death" she says trying to avoid the emotions that her face has unfortunately given up.
I should have killed every damned wolf of that pack.
