Jazmines pov
Climbing the steps to the stage with Tessa in tow I could feel my mates eyes follow me. I stood tall and proud as I addressed the crowd of visiting packs being sure to avoid his eyes. When I introduced Tessa and I the crowd released an audible gasp.
There is one rule that all pack members follow out of respect and love. We give no outsiders information about us including legal names; which is why I introduce myself as Jade and Teah instead of Jazmine and Tessa. Everybody knows the rumors about the infamous Alpha J, but only one person outside of the pack knows my true name.
Katara kept track of our mate as we mingled with the crowd feeling his eyes following me. Suddenly a blood curdling scream echoed throughout the ceremony hall causing everybody to freeze. I dashed to the back room only to find Jennifer, a young omega, shaking in the corner as tears rolled down her face colliding with a thick stream of blood oozing from a deep gash in her eye; while a man towered over her with a sadistic grin on his face.
Grabbing his shoulder I forced him to turn facing me as I launched a right hook into his jaw causing him to topple onto the floor. Once down I removed my hair pin made of pure silver with diamonds adorning the handle and held it to his throat listening to the sizzle of his skin meeting my blade. "Submit now or die here," I whispered into his ear filling my voice with venom. He let out a whimper and bared his neck to me signally a sumbit, as we stood he attempted to lunge at Jen, but Katara sensed it causing me to put him in a choke hold.
I released as his body fell limp mindlinking 2 of my best warriors I turned to Jen, "hey Jen, are you okay with going to see James?" She looked at me with panick in her eyes.
"please no Alpha," was all should could get out before bursting into tears.
"okay, okay, what about seeing Paula? She's been training under James for a while now and actively seeing patients," I wanted her to see somebody even if she doesnt have physical injuries I can tell by her constant shaking that she's mentally not okay. Jennifer slowly nodded as my warriors entered the room.
"Jen can you walk?," she just sobbed in response.
"That's okay dear. Phillip is going to carry you out. Tessa will meet you two and go to see Paula with you okay?," she nodded again allowing Phillip to scoop her up bridal style; while Jeff grabbed the still unconscious man tossing him over his shoulder we exited the room.
"T, I need you here now. Jen was attacked and needs a woman to accompany her to the hospital," within seconds Tessa was in front of us.
"J what do you want me to do with our mates? I'm sure they're going to try to follow us while we leave," she linked me while taking Jennifer from Phillip's arms.
"you're mate may accompany you to the hospital, but I dont want him around when they examine Jen. I dont know what happened but she doesnt want to be around any men," nodding Tessa grabbed her mate while exiting the building.
Apologizing for the interruption I continued to the packhouse to change and grab some clothes for Tessa. Climbing the steps my mate cleared his throat causing me to glance back at him; but the time we reached my floor I was annoyed. "why are you following me?," I questioned.
He smirked, "Why are you acting as if I dont exist?" rolling my eyes I stepped into the closet pulling on a ratty tshirt and jeans before stepping into my black military boots. His bright blue eyes darkened, as I stepped out of the closet, taking in my appearance from head to toe. I released a warning growl before continuing back down the stairs.
We walked in silence to the prison keeping my distance from my mate. I was glad he wasn't trying to be possessive like most Alphas I've met. "So where are we going?," he finally spoke up as we approached the entrance. I kept my response short not wanting to give him any information, "the cells. I have pack business to attend to." this seemed to satisfy him as we proceeded through the hallway.
Stopping in front of the only occupied cell I turned when I hear Tessas steps accompanied by the attackers Alpha and Luna as I had requested. I tossed her some clothes before turning to my mate, "wait outside with the Luna. Teah and I will be out in a few moments." He listened without hesitation leaving the prison with the Luna in tow.
Tessa emerged from the bathroom sporting the clothes I had given her with fury in her eyes ove what had been done to Jennifer. The three of us entered the cell before locking the door and facing the unconscious man with dried blood covering his face.
Turning around I addressed the visiting Alpha. "Alpha Thomas here at ColdRose we take injured pack members very seriously. Your man has injured my pack member therefore punishment is in order. As you're his Alpha I feel it necessary that you know his crime and assist me in deciding his punishment," I already knew what his punishment would be, but I like to gauge other Alphas morals before doing any business with them. "With that said I will ask that anything that happens in this room stays here. This is not my story to tell, but my omega has approve of me telling you and only you." He nodded as I finished talking signifying that he understood.
"My omega was going back to the kitchen for a fresh platter of food when suddenly a hand was firmly place over her mouth. The owner of the hand shoved her into a back room while he groped her. She struggled to get away causing him to extend his claws into her face. When they pierced her skin she screamed drawing everybodys attention her way. He threw her to the floor right before I entered. When I saw him standing above her I forced him to submit to me, but after he submitted he still attempted to attack her so I knocked him unconscious." I met his eyes as I finished speaking. "What do you think his punishment should me?," raising an eyebrow I questioned him.
"Alpha J from what you've told me it seems as tho if your omega hadn't drawn our attention she would've been sexually assaulted. The punishment for r**e or attempted r**e is death in my pack," he spoke with rage in his eyes, "Alpha I dont know what youd like to do here, but I want him dead."
Smiling I responded, "I was hoping youd say that. My Beta and I are going to teach him a lesson before he dies; you may stay and watch or go wait with your Luna. The choice is up to you, but I will say you probably dont want to witness what we are about to do to him." With that I turned my attention to the man tied to the chair as he regained consciousness.
His gaze shifted between me and his Alpha with fear clouding his eyes, "wha what happened? Why am I here?," he stuttered out. Taking a step forward I leaned down to his eye level, "you're here because you attacked one of my omegas. We dont take to kindly to people who attack the pack." I flashed an evil smirk before strolling over to the metal table in the corner of the room.
Removing the black cloth from the table revealed an assortment of tools. I turned to the man while grabbing the silver chains off the table. Focusing on him I ignored the sting radiating through my had from the silver being sure to keep my signature emotionless face. The man released a small whimper as I approached. "Admit what you did and why you did it to my omega and I may make your death quick. Play stupid and my Beta and I will have something to do all week," The color drained from his face as he began spewing details about why he had attacked June."
As he finished I layed the silver chains on his lap eliciting a scream from him as the fear inside his eyes grew. Enjoying the sight I spoke to Tessa, "T please grab the knuckle dusters." She skipped to the table like a child before returning with what I requested. The knuckle dusters have been our favorite since I had them custom made for her 11th birthday; now it's become a traditional birthday present, every year we both have new custom sets made for the other in our birthday. This year I got her a baby blue set with a strip of silver running over the knuckles and a hidden vile of wolfsbane in the handle.
She handed my set over while fitting hers on. Wiggling my fingers I admired my set made of black obsidian with small silver spikes on the knuckles and real emeralds on on each end. My sister knew how I enjoyed ripping through flesh and my fashion style, these are truly the perfect gift, I cant imagine how she'll upstage herself next year.
"Thank you for being honest, but my Beta and I have already agreed on your punishment. Dont worry we will make in somewhat quick," I couldnt wait to tear this trash apart. As I finished speaking Tessa began throwing her fist at the man making blood splatter from his mouth; before he fell unconscious again she stopped allowing me to take her place. Warm sticky blood sprayed all over Tessa and I as the spikes on my knuckle dusters collided with his face.
After a few moments his screams died away as he fell unconscious again. Tessa assisted me in removing his pants before I pulled out the garden shears. Out of the corner of my eye I watched the blood drain for Alpha Thomas's face as I opened the blades; placing them around the mans scrotum. With one movement I slammed the shears closed slicing off his manhood. We watched with pleasure as the blood drained from his body taking his soukd with it.
"Sam could you please send a couple omegas to the cells? They're going to need a good cleaning," mindlinking our head omega I returned my knuckle dusters to the table before unlocking the door and exiting the cells. "I have sent a few men with strong stomachs and good muscles. I truly hope you gave that man what he deserved."
Exiting the prison the visiting Luna ran to her Alpha. Tessa mate attempted to hug her before she stopped him remembering we were probably covered in blood. Our mates looked terrified as their eyes scanned us from head to toe.
My mate began to panic when I asked Tessa to watch them so I could go to the hospital; of course he didnt know that I was going to check on Jennifer, but never the less his worry caused me and T to burst into laughter. "Does he really think that I'd get injured while dealing with a prisoner? How weak does he think I am?" I linked T.
"Dont be mad J, I'm sure it's just the whole blood covering every inch of your body that's making him worry. Well that and the fact that he's not fighting the mate bond like somebody else is," she responded while giggling.
Turning my annoyance for the mate bond to the tall blonde man standing in front of me, I ordered him to go with Tessa and her mate as I continued to the hopital. She took my mates hand pulling him towards the pack house before he could object.
James approached as I enter the pack hopital directing me to Jennifer's room. She jumped as the door opened relaxing upon seeing me. A smile slowly spread across her face as she scanned my body taking in my blood soaked clothes. Tears of joy welled in her eyes knowing that this blood belonged to her attacker. After talking for a few minutes Jen agreed to begin seeing our counselor in the morning. I told her I would be back in the morning when she was released to take her home before I excused myself to the packhouse for the evening.
As i walked into the living room I spotted Tessa stretched onto the couch in clean pajamas with her wet hair tied into a messy bun. "Hey T, did the boys give you any trouble?,"
"No. Samuel and Tom both relaxed when I explained that none of the blood was our," she noticed my confusion as usual and answered my unspoken question, "Tom is my mate and Samuel is yours; get this their siblings just like us!"
"Did you tell Tom anything?," I asked raising my eyebrow.
"Nope, just kept feeding him the usual story line. Our only relation is Alpha and Beta, we hate outsiders, and they still think were Jade and Teah," she finished with a solemn smirk.
"I'm sorry T, but you know why we have the rule in the first place. If he agrees to join the pack you may tell him about us, but not before," Gently squeezing her shoulder I offered her a loving smile before excusing myself to bed.
Smelling my mates scent on my floor I smiled knowing Tessa had placed him in the room beside mine, she was always pushing me to embrace the mate bond. As I entered my room I peeled my blood soaked clothes off tossing them into the red biohazard bag; the pack uses these so that our omegas dont accidentally come in contact with any harmful diseases. Climbing into the shower I began lathering my hair with shampoo as the water running off my body turned red. Once clean of the sticky red stuff I tossed my hair into a towel atop my head before slipping into my oversized tshirt and clean undies. I snuggled into my warm bed drifting off as I inhaled the faint scent of my mate.
