Blood, Crystal: Wrath of an Alpha

2.

The man who had discovered his spouse was having an affair had not felt any pain despite the crystal doll puncturing his palm with sharp fragments of different sizes. Even if lightning had struck at that very moment, he would not have felt pain or death after witnessing his mate wrapped in the arms of his Beta, his closest friend and the person he had most trusted. Ethan felt his chest turn to a twisted tangle as the knife of treachery and deceit pierced it. Anything but rage was all he could feel anymore.

As they arrived at their release together, Helen and Henry's groans echoed around the pack house, shaking the half open doors and shuttered windows. Henry realised Helen's desire when he injected his heated sperm into her womb.

They would been having s*x in the woods before they went inside the Alpha suite. She would beg him to stop using condoms and to become a parent to her today. She had not taken the pill in a long time, so Henry was glad he could conceive her. She was soon to give birth to his puppy.

The smell of s*x and the sounds of laboured breathing filled the room. Henry let himself to unwind on Helen's physique. She smiled satedly, closed her eyes, and let the scent of lemonade and newly cut grass fill her head. For the past three years, this scent had been reminding her of summer. Her eyes widened as she realised what had happened. Not only was it the fact that they were in Ethan's room, but Henry could also smell him. His breathing had almost stopped at the look of dread in Helen's blue eyes, validating his nightmare. The moment Ethan decided to enter the chamber, a mood of evil, danger, and coldness enveloped him. There was a forceful knock on the door. Their eyes darted to the opened door, startled. It was definitely Ethan! They were in his hand's palm.

Helen wanted to yell, "Ethan," but she merely whispered it instead. She quickly covered her chest when she realised that Kaiden and Nathan had joined Ethan, who had not been alone. She had been so focused on her enjoyment that she had not even noticed or smelled him. The man had witnessed her having s*x with another man and did not intend to return home for another four days. Ethan's fierce red eyes fixed on her while her words stayed stuck in her throat, raspy. Henry's eyes grew larger as he realised that his death was close enough to take his soul. Ethan charged towards him with the ferocity of the Grim Reaper. But the Alpha was already coming for him.

"I, Ethan." Henry futilely scooted away from him on the bed. There was no time for him to reply, to concede, or to defend himself. It would be incorrect for him to think he would have an opportunity to explain what had been going on. Ethan's large hand was covering Henry's face. His piercing nails went deep into Henry's skin, almost taking it out of his face. The blonde who was in charge gave a horrifying scream to everyone in the room before collapsing on the floor due to a broken jaw.

"AAA!" Helen let out a scream. Though she would been there for all of Henry's therapy, she still felt that she was the victim of such harsh treatment. She had a pig attached to her body and was sweating profusely. In a panic, she would clutched at the soft blanket that had hidden her nude appearance from the males in the room. Henry was laying on the ground, clutching his broken jaw, even though he was the Beta and second in charge. His own treachery had caused him to utilise strength and force that ultimately brought him down.

"You have betrayed me!" With an Alpha voice, Ethan sent him a stare. Henry regretted it, but his wolf had already given in to its Alpha, and it was too late. He had already shattered their childhood bond. Helen, Ethan, Nathan, Henry, and Kaiden had been friends since they were 10 years old. Helen, the only daughter of the Alpha of the Shine Wood Pack, made friends with all the boys when they were younger. Though Henry had been her best friend ever since he had protected Helen from rouges during an attack, she would always like Ethan. He had accepted the job of Ethan's Beta in order to remain close to Helen when Ethan married her. Even though he knew Helen had visited him for s*x several times, he still made the decision to betray his friend, his Alpha, by sleeping with her.

Henry never thought their exposure would be as bad as it turned out to be. After beating Ethan several times, he had begun pleading for compassion, which had only infuriated Ethan more. He had discovered him having s*x with Helen in his bed only moments earlier, and now he dared to beg for forgiveness. Henry's physique bore the scars of savagery, and his rage would not subside despite his shattered jaw. Ethan was still lying on the ground, crying uncontrollably as he continued to beat his face, which was bloody, bruised, and broken. The pain was unbearable now that he had driven his claws all the way down to the bones in his face. Henry's face was scarred for ever by the Alpha, so it was difficult to remember how gorgeous he once was.

Helen had been crying, but not because she pitied the male being attacked like a beast, but for some other reason. just because she was afraid of what would happen to her and how she would react to it. Henry had hardly had time to let out his agonising screams and cries when there was a bang that sounded like someone shattering a stack of chips. Her eyes widened as she comprehended what Xander had done. The vertebrae in his Beta had broken.

"A.A. Henry wailed in agony on the ground, like a fish out of water. Nathan seemed both satisfied and angry at the same time.There was the terrified cry of a woman sitting on the bed, and then there was only one last long cry of pain in the pack house. She was afraid of what could happen to her at this point.

"Please just stop, please, please." Helen pleaded. Witnessing such horrifying brutality had brought her to her breaking point. Ethan looked at her wretched face—which was no longer filled with regretful tears—as soon as he heard her pathetic plea. Initially, rather than feeling remorse for deceiving her boyfriend, her eyes were filled with dread as she saw a glimpse of her own horrible and unknown future. At that same time, when they were glancing at one another from a distance, Ethan kicked Henry in the groyne. She felt as though a light had just abruptly fallen upon her. She witnessed the crushing of the d**k that she had been loving so much moments before. He stepped on Henry's manliness in front of Helen's eyes till his rage faded.

Her companion had always been mysteriously quiet, a portent of awful things to come. Helen had noted that as she watched his fixation. She was fully aware of Ethan's power, rage, and convictions. He detested liars, con artists, and traitors. Such people had no place in his life or in his pack. That dark hole of death may or may not be deep, but it had sealed their doom.
