Chapter 4: The smell of revenge
Mates POV:
I was headed to Eric’s for a meeting. He agreed to help track my-in-law’s where about if I took care of a couple of people. To put it nicely she was scared, and he was dead. Everyone else would soon fall into place after all no one believed in the supernatural. Melanie would just be admitted as a woman who had a psychotic break after watching her husband died.
I suddenly had a strange pull in my heart something I had kept buried for a long time. My wolf cried for her excited to see her.
This wasn’t going to end well.
My mate blamed me for our child’s death, and she was getting closer some, how. Hell! I don’t have time for this s**t. She is going to f**k everything up.
I pulled my Ford truck into Eric’s drive parking by the garage. Took a deep breath and braced for whatever was coming. I doubt I would even need to get out of the truck, but I did anyway. I grabbed the file to give to Eric proof the dead was done. He liked having proof although thinking about it I think he just had more leverage over people and these “files” could always be used for blackmail later.
My boots were crunching on the ground as I walked to the front door. I knew I shouldn’t care but suddenly I wished I showered and cleaned up after the job. I still smelt like blood and death not to mention that woman’s god-awful perfume.
Although, I doubt clean blue jeans would help this situation at all. I knew I looked like s**t. I have not had a proper night’s sleep in three years, and I had lost thirty pounds during those years. I still had a nice body just leaner now. I only wore t-shirts now nothing with design and everything as close to black as possible. My green eyes had some how become dull.
Can you smell her Alex? Mate is just beyond this door all we have to do is open it and we can explain everything. Kay will listen once she knows that our son is still alive. Then we can have both of them back. We can be whole again. Please Alex she smells like honey dew and nectar… WE NEED HER.
“No, you’re just a horny mutt. She won’t listen she blames us whatever happened in that dungeon she believes he is dead… We need to find out why. If we even can before she tries to kill us.”
Reaching for the door to open it suddenly there was a glow behind the glass and the door swung open incredibly fast.
God the years had been good to her. She looked the exact same. My c**k jerked in my paints and my wolf started talking so fast I had to shut him out.
She’s glowing… I’ve never seen her glow before I didn’t even know that she could. What else did I not know about my mate?
Kays Pov
I grabbed a knife from my boot and the brass knuckles from my bra. I used my mind to open the door I wanted no surprises as I went for him. I heard Eric suddenly moving in the kitchen probably coming this way.
He had changed. Long gone were the clean-cut man I used to love this man was broken. His eyes a dull green, his face was slimmer, and his hair was around his eyes in a deshelved manner. While he was still fit it looked like he lost weight. Not that it stopped his black jeans from hugging his hips or the black shirt from clinging to his muscles. He wore work boots and he smelled of blood and cheap perfume.
Shock was written on his face either because I was here or glowing, I really didn’t know or care. I can see his wolf fighting for control.
I threw my knife into his thigh he didn’t utter even a scream. Maybe he didn’t know he was just stabbed he just stood there. I walked swiftly to him I lifted my body putting all my weight behind my hit and hit him as hard as I could with my first. Something dropped but my eyes never left his.
“Hello Kay, good to see you to- “He spoke calmly like it had been rehearsed.
I kicked him hard in his stomach and started berating his chest with assaults. Time seemed to stand still and not once did he fight back. He stood there taking every hit. He closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around me holding me in place. He breathed in my scent his demeanor seemed to relax.
He thinks he can touch me. He thinks after three years he gets to even put his arms around me, and f*****g sniff me? I grabbed my silver knife from my back and as swiftly as a bird plunged it into his back. You could hear his skin sizzling around the blade trying to heal but unable to. He let me go and dropped to his knees.
Eric’s Pov
She left the room so fast all I saw was light. I heard my front door open and knew I had to move. I forgot Alex was coming today he mentioned he finished early and had wonderful results. I shifted to the door hoping I wasn’t to late to stop whatever this was.
I came just as I saw Kay launch herself at Alex. There was recognition in his face along with a deep seeded sadness. She threw hit after hit not once stopping. Alex’s face would have a bruise and I some how doubted it would heal overnight.
Why isn’t he blocking her at least? For goddess sake fight back!
His arms wrapped around her and he tried to hold her. I don’t think she even realized she shrieked in response pulling a blade from her back. Silver I can smell it from here. The blade slid into his back like butter and he finally dropped to the ground. I never thought I would see this man on his knees. His leg had a knife in it!
Before she could do anymore damage, I materialized ether cuffs. She’s going to kill my meal ticket if she doesn’t stop. I grabbed her arm and threw a cuff on. She looked down at the cuff in confusion and I took advantage grabbing her other hand behind her back and cuffing it also.
She was sexy as hell when mad, but I had no idea what caused it. Why attack Alex? Was there really a goal to this. She looked like a woman who was possessed while hitting him.
Kay suddenly dropped to the ground the cuffs doing their job and immobilizing her. I breathed a sigh of relief. To my surprise Alex jumped to her completely disregarding the knife in his leg. He placed his head to her chest to see if she was breathing. Then cupped her face in his hands. Her glow was faded, and her creamy white skin was back. Her violet eyes following his every action hatred was there. How can she hate this man so much? How can he care about her after being assaulted by her in such a fashion?
I cleared my throat. “Maybe take the knifes out of your first Alex so you don’t bleed all over her. Meet me in THE room.”
I picked Kay up she was as light as a feather her curves feeling good in my arms. I turned around and went inside. “The guest room has clothes change out of those you smell like a dead hooker.”
I looked down at Kay and found her staring at me. She obviously had lots of questions and I wasn’t ready to answer just yet. We both stayed quite as I carried her to the playroom. There was a metal bed in the middle I laid her on it. Lifting her arms above her I hooked the cuffs to the spot above. She wouldn’t be able to move. I breathed a heavy sigh and turned to leave the room.
Kays Pov.
I was immobilized. Ether… who knew this guy would keep his weakness with him. Granted it was also mine. Eric carried me against his chest pressing me closer to him than necessary not that I minded. His presence was calming me somehow. Like as long as he held me and touched me everything would be alright.
All I could do was stare at him. Why was Mate here? Why was he helping him? Questions plagued me but I didn’t think I would find an answer anytime soon.
He carried me to a dark room and laid me down on the softest bed I had ever felt. What ever this room was it was obviously ready for prisoners.
He walked out of the room and I tried to calm Luna
Why did you attack him? Why did you hurt our mate? How could you do this! You’re a disgrace to the goddess for even getting a mate! Now we may never get answers! Your foolish woman, you are too distracted by your hate to put the dots together and do things rationally? Why is he at Eric’s and what was in the file he carried?
I hate when she is right. Damn damn. I just ruined the whole job.
I don’t know how long I stayed in this room. It felt like this room was special and time didn’t know if time even moved in here.
Alex Pov
Blood ran down the drain.
I just watched.
She just doesn’t understand. She will and she will help us. She will.
I blocked my wolf out. I needed a plan those chain wouldn’t last long.
