The Rejection That He Regrets

Chapter Nineteen

Vincents P.O.V

When Ava told me Eve wanted to meet me, my heart stopped. I knew the other guys hadn't met her yet because they were waiting for her Luna ceremonies. I said, "I would love to meet Eve, but shouldn't we wait for the others?" She shook her head and said, "No, I talked to them last night about this. They have wolves that will meet Eve, but your wolf, NorFel, is different. You're not just a wolf but a vampire too. When you hold the ceremony for me, there won't be a pack run," while stripping her clothes and shifting into her massive wolf. She was bigger than any alpha wolf I have ever seen. She had snow-white fur. When she laid before me, I knelt next to her head and kissed her snout. She then stood, raised her head and howled so loudly the trees and ground shook. She shifted back and staggered. I rushed forward to steady her. She walked to her clothes and got dressed.

I walked to her and placed my forehead on hers, sharing the memory of seeing her wolf. She smiled brightly at me, then said, "I had wondered what she looked like. Thank you for sharing it with me." She kissed me and then grabbed my hand to walk back towards the clearing taking the long route. I showed him the caves, and walked him through the progress. We then made our way to the royal pack house, meeting Kyle and Xaver on the back deck sitting and playing cards with Ava's brothers. Wyatt and Kyle had walked up and asked to speak with Ava, and she agreed and kissed my cheek before walking away. I sat at the table and Theo asked, "So... How was meeting Eve?" "She is massive and beautiful," I replied. Xaver gathered cards and began to deal me into the game. We sat there playing cards and waiting for the others to get back.

Ava's P.O.V

I walked with Wyatt and Kyle as they began talking. "Ava, there is something you should know. When I went home to gather the pack, there was a she-wolf I had a one-night stand with years ago showed up. She was crazy, she tried to say she was my luna, and my fated mate. Wyatt was there, and I suggested we go to the moon pool and test her claim, which she refused. So we had guards drag her there and throw her in. I got in, and it proved she was a liar. After that, she freaked out and started screaming she was going to kill you and how I belonged to only her," Kyle explained. I stopped walking and looked from him to Wyatt. Wyatt nodded his head like he was verifying the story. "I assume she is being held in the royal cells?" I asked. Wyatt looked me up and down before he said, "Of course she is in our cells, I brought her here because Kyle and I both think you, as his mate, should punish the one trying to steal your place and mate." I just looked at him and giggled, "You know me so well Wy, please lead the way. Once we get this taken care of, Kyle and I need to go greet the pack. They should all be here soon so we can get the housing situation sorted."

When we reached the cell house, I stripped down and pulled on a deep purple robe. Kyle looked at me weirdly and Wy whispered something in his ear before they followed me to the torture room, "Bring her in here and Wy, you know the rules. You and Kyle are to go into the observation room and not interfere," I said. Kyle looked like he was going to refuse, but I shot him a look that made him stiffen and walk with my brother. Once they were in the room, I ordered the guards to drag her fully into the room. While they chained her to the floor, I walked over to the back wall and flipped the lights on. The light illuminated the wall, and it was full of tools. Whips, tasers, power tools, hand tools, needles full of wolfsbane and my personal favorite was the throwing knives. I knew tonight was going to be epic. I grabbed a pair of pliers and began to question the her, "What is your name, mutt?" She shot me a look like she wanted to kill me before she spit out, "Lana."

I snatched her free hand and asked, "Lana, do you think it's acceptable to take someone else's mate?" while I began tearing her nails off her hand. She struggled to get her hand free when she shot her leg out from under her. She almost made contact, but I grabbed her leg midair and twisted her leg, snapping her knee cap, causing the bone to tear through her skin. She screamed in pain as I began to pull her teeth out one by one. It wasn't until she finally passed out from the pain did I have the guards move her and tie her to my spinning wheel we used for throwing knives. I walked over and grabbed a needle of wolfsbane and my throwing knives. I walked to her and gave her the shot of wolfsbane and her eyes shot open, and a gargled scream left her mouth. When I walked to my spot she was crying and pleading with me that she had made a mistake and that she would never do anything like it again. I motioned for them to start spinning her. I began to throw my knives and she just cried harder. When I was down to just two, I grabbed the tops of the blades and yelled kill shot, throwing both at the same time. After they landed, I motioned to the guard to stop the wheel. When it came to a full stop, there was Lana with a knife in her heart and a knife between her eyes. Lana was never going to be a problem again.
