He's finally gone 36

Chapter 36

Mart's POV

Damn, that was close. I thought I was going to die, but instead, I got kicked out of the castle into one of the empty houses. I packed as many clothes, bathroom items, and everything from my room and then the bathroom. By the time I was done, I had twenty boxes filled with my things. I even took my bed and couch. I wasn't leaving anything behind; I had bought all these things with my hard-earned money. So, of course, I am going to take them with me. We reached the house that the king had given me. I was on house arrest until the king tells me I am able to come out. Of course, I can come out on the porch or the yard, but I can't leave to go anywhere. It's going to be annoying, but I deserve this. I was listening to my rogue father when I should have just gone to Xander and told him what was going on. We entered the house, all my boxes were in the living room. They left me to do the unpacking; even my bed was in there. There wasn't an upstairs, so I had to figure out where the bedrooms were and where the bathroom was. I started unpacking the kitchen items and putting them away. Then I broke down the boxes so they would be flat. My mind kept going back to Wallie and what the king had done to him. It's his own fault; he spied, but I could have been killed as well, but I wasn't. I started on the living room things, putting up photos on the walls and arranging items. I found two bedrooms, so I put the bed in one with my dresser. I wish my mate was here so she could help me. That reminds me, I need to call her to see how she is doing. I know she wants to come back, but not until that man is gone. I'm not taking any chances for him to find her and try to hurt her. Three hours later, I had everything unpacked and put away; the house was looking good. I think after my house arrest is over, I'll stay in this house. Finally, I sat down on my couch to relax, then I called my mate; I had to tell her everything. She's not going to like it, but I needed to tell her before someone else does.

Xander's POV

After the guards told me that Mart is settled into his house, and they are standing outside, I knew they needed a break. Mart is a good guy; he just makes bad decisions, that's all. I felt more relaxed now. I got plenty of rest and had a fun time with my mate. If she wasn't pregnant before, she will be really soon. I know how much she wanted a pup, and I do too. I got myself together, put on shorts since I would be shifting. I had ten guards and twenty warriors with me just in case he has others with him. I was walking out the door when LeeAnn stopped me; she grabbed my arm gently. When I turned around, I held her in my arms. She was worried for me.

“Xander, please be safe. Please come back to me safely, okay?” I knew she wanted to go with me, but I asked her to just stay here this time. I didn't want to be worried about her while trying to track him down. I knew she was a tough wolf; I've seen her battle before. She's a badass and doesn't take s**t from anyone. I held her tightly to me and then kissed her on her soft lips.

"I need to go, LeeAnn. I promise you, I will come back to you. When I come home after this, we're going to focus on having a pup or pups, okay?" I kissed her once again, then I left. If I hadn't left at that very second, I would have stayed. But I knew I needed to get this done. We left to head into the woods. I could smell him from a mile away. I stopped before I shifted to spray myself. Once I sprayed myself, my wolf would be covered, too. So, I sprayed the cloak spray all over me, and the guards and warriors did as well. Once done, we all shifted. We knew exactly where he was. We were surrounding him. He had no place to go. When I saw him, he was just standing there watching something until I heard female voices close by. He was about to step out when I mind-linked them and told them to hurry and go inside; there is a battle that is about to begin. I also told them not to look scared but to walk away like they always do. They linked back and said, "Yes, sir." I watched as they walked away as naturally as they could. I think he knew something was going on because he started backing away from the land. I shifted back into my human form. I didn't bother putting on clothes as I would just get too much blood on them. I walked forward, snapping a twig that was on the ground. He turned and saw me, and he smirked, thinking I was alone.

"So, Xander, you come here to finish the job?" I didn't say anything, I stepped a few steps toward him. The smirk faded away as he stepped back. He turned; I knew what he was going to do; he was going to run. When he turned, he stopped because he had five guards that would stop him. I had guards closing in on him.

"So, do you really think I was going to let you put a pup inside my mate? Are you insane or just stupid?"

Jenni's POV

I was standing there in front of this rogue, and what I really wanted to do was rip this **s hole apart. How dare he try to do that to the queen just because he was banished from the kingdom for hurting women? The king wasn't going to let his people be hurt. I just did not understand this guy; it was really crazy. Once we surrounded him, Xander came forward, and we all heard him speak to him.

‘So you come here acting like you cared for your son, but then you threaten to hurt his mate, then kill her in front of him, and then kill him. Are you crazy, man? What do you get from this? Nothing, that's what it gets you. I could never understand your head, Keith. You really screwed up, and then you did this. I told you once and only once that if you ever came back here, I was going to kill you. You didn't believe me, did you?” He was looking at Xander like he wanted to kill our king. He stepped forward, then said:

“You listen to me, Xander, and listen good. I challenge you for the crown to be king, and once I beat you, I'm going after your wife.” Well, that did it. He went after Xander, but Xander shifted so fast that he jumped out of the way. He grabbed Keith by his leg and shook him. Keith was screaming loudly that I felt like I wanted to cover my ears. But what's the use of doing that? He ended him with a bite to the throat. He will no longer be hurting anyone in this kingdom. The guards threw him into an unmarked grave, then tossed dirt on him. He was finally gone. Xander turned to one of the guards.

“Go check up on Mart; he might have felt his father's death. Make sure he's okay.” Two guards rushed toward the house that Xander had made him go to. I hope he's okay. My sister would be heartbroken if anything happened to him.

Mart's POV

After I got off the phone with my mate, I told her it was a matter of time before she would be coming home soon. When we hung up, I went to the kitchen to see what I could find for myself to eat. I was hungry and wanted something before bed. Suddenly, I felt a stabbing pain in my stomach, then my chest. I felt it. I actually felt when my father died. That was quick. Dad was never a good fighter. He always fought dirty, always with knives or guns. But Xander was smarter. I stayed on the floor until the pain was gone. This is what he gets for killing my mother. This is what he gets for hurting women. This is what he gets for being such an asshole. When the pain finally left my body, I stood up and then sat on the couch. That kind of pain can wear you out. I was going to lie down for a bit, but four guards came running into the house. They all looked at me with worried expressions.

“Your rogue father is now dead. Xander wanted us to make sure that you're okay. We all know that we can feel when family passes. Sometimes, it can kill us. How are you feeling, Mart?”

Trust me, I felt every bit of it. But I'm okay. It felt like stabbing pains in my chest and stomach. I knew what it was right when it happened. The bond snapped apart. I just made it to the couch to lay down for a bit.”

"As long as you're okay. I mind-linked Xander to let him know that we tossed him in an empty grave without a marker. When you're ready, we will take you to him so you can say your goodbyes." Was this guy kidding me? I didn't feel the need to say bye to him at all. He can rot in h3ll for all I care. And that's what I told him.

“No, I'm good. He can rot in h3ll for all I care. He threatened me about my mate; I had to send her away just to keep her safe. She can finally come back home. Thank you for coming to check up on me. But I think I'm going to call my mate and then head to bed. Tell the king I said thank you for everything he does.” The nodded then walked out to guess to go back to Xander. I no longer needed to be guarded since he was gone now. When they left, I reached for my cell phone and dialed the number I wanted. She answered on the second ring.

“Mart, honey. Is everything okay?”

“Of course, well, now it is. He's finally gone. Xander killed him. When can you be home?” I heard her giggle over the phone. What was this girl up to? Then she responded to me.

“Well, I was on my way. I couldn't stay away from you any longer, Mart. So I hopped on a jet. Can you come and get me from the airport?” Damn it, that woman. I knew she would do something like this. I wondered how long she had it planned in her head. If I had known, I would have stopped her. But I needed to go get her. I mind-linked Xander, asking him if I could go pick my mate up at the airport. She was here; she snuck back.”

"A few guards and warriors will go with you just in case there are rogues out there. They are there now, so get going.

"Shoot, I didn't have to be told twice. I wanted my mate here. We need to mate and mark each other again. I can't wait for her to be here."

Walking out of the house, I asked them if they were ready to head out. They nodded, and we got into the car and sped away. I am hoping nothing goes wrong on this trip to the airport and back, but knowing my rogue dad, he had things up his sleeve. We have not heard the last of these rogues."
