Vaughn's POV
I woke up this morning with a woody. I can't get Mala out of my mind. She was in my dreams all night looking so sexy with that curvy body of hers. Those luscious lips of hers begging to be kissed. I know Smash you keep insisting Moon Goddess has a plan for us. Please have faith in mother she knows that something is amiss here and has the plan to deal with the bad that is hurting her children, Smash insists. "Okay okay Smash I'll have a cold shower and then let you take our frustrations out on Nilo's backside, I tell him. Gladly let's get this shitshow started, Smash replies.
I got out of my shower and my phone is ringing. It's Mauro, I wonder what's up with him this early in the day. Maybe he wants to hear about how I punished that worthless mutt my cousin on my father's side. His father died during the war. He looks nothing like my late uncle. He did however resemble my late wife. Well, I'll call him back afterward let's go take care of this i***t cousin of mine.
I walk into the cells and go straight to the cell that Nilo is in. This jerk looks too laid back almost like he's happy to be here," I tell Smash. "Vaughn I sense dark magic present and I don't smell this fool's Wolf, my wolf tells me. "You know Smash it's not the first time I didn't smell his wolf. I think we should monitor this fool closer. That is why I hid cameras in the cells, I assure my wolf. My beta is reviewing the video we'll get with him later, I tell Smash. My Beta is my late wife's uncle. I trust him with my life. He has taken losing his niece rather hard. Well, she was his family. My first beta was my best friend and killed by a rogue shortly before I met my late wife. It was strange the way she just appeared but I didn't question the mate pull. "I did but you weren't hearing me. It's like she cast a spell on you, Smash says again. "Okay Smash respect the dead," I remind him. "Fine I will, but remember I did try to warn you, he says rather smugly. Well while we were chatting the guards had him strung up in silver chains let's whip this boy. By the way, look at his wrists," he points out. "Yeah, I see that, Smash they aren't burnt and they should be by now, I reply.
"Okay, Nilo I see you are ready for your lashes. You will be getting 5 for disrespecting Mala, 5 for disrespecting her family, and 5 for disrespecting your alpha for a total of 15 lashes," I inform him. "Fine alpha have your fun. I know being family means nothing to you," he retorts. "Your father being my father's brother didn't give you a right to disrespect me the way you did I remind him. Now shut up and take your lashes before I double them". Smash reminds me, " now is the time to ask where he disappeared to last night." Nilo I have a question for you and if I like your answer I'll take it easy on you I say. What is your question Alpha? Where did you disappear to last night while the rest of the men were talking in the den? I went to the kitchen to sneak a peek at my lovely mate. What difference does it make to you anyhow? Are you jealous I found my luscious mate? I know you want her to yourself. Maybe I'll let you have a go at her after I'm done with her. You sorry piece of s**t! You just earned double the lashes. 30 lashes and an extra day down here in a cell. Fine by me ALPHA it just means I get a day off and don't have training. Just get on with it. I'm thinking this fool is a masochist or something.
Okay, Smash you heard the man get on with his thirty lashes. MY Pleasure! Smash got through with the lashes and pointed at Nilo's back. We remained silent and told Nilo the pack Dr was on his way down. I mindlinked the Dr. and told him to remain silent when he comes down I don't want Nilo to know we are on to him. His shirt is all torn up and his back looks broken but there isn't a single drop of blood on the ground. I see the concern on my beta's face and alpha commands him to remain silent. I fear it may not work on him so I may have to move quickly to put a stop to whatever this fool is up to.
Alpha, I need to move the patient to the hospital to keep a close eye on him, the Dr. mindlinked me. "That is a good idea, do you see his back," I ask the Dr. "Yes, alpha I do what kind of magic is this? Also, why can't I smell his wolf? "Well, let's inform the patient and take a look at his wrists because they are being held by silver. "Yes, alpha. I'm on it, says the doctor."
Okay, Nilo the Dr. wants to take you to the hospital to treat your wounds. "That's okay Alpha just take me back to my cell," he insists. "Sorry, Nilo no can do, I reply. Dr.Smith here insists he takes you for observation. You might be a disrespectful omega prick but you're still family and I still have an ounce of humanity.
The guards put on gloves to lower Nilo. The Dr. had sent for a gurney right after he saw Nilo's shirt. The Dr. strapped Nilo to the gurney and prepared to wheel him away. We have some thoughts on why he protests but why would he want to stay in the cells, unless he's unaware we installed cameras? I mean who in their right mind wants to hang out in a dungeon? Dark witches wanting to hold a private meeting would. Well, I guess we foiled his plans since he won't be allowed visitors in the hospital. Well, I better get to my office and call Mauro back. Let him know what happened with Nilo.
