The Kings Little Wolf

Vengeance Kindles.

“My daddy started by hitting and kicking me he yelled a lot. I told mamma she laughed thought I was making a funny. I was not but she did not believe me. He grabbed my chest and tickled my buds I do not know why when I pulled away, he got mad and he hit me hard a few times and my nose bled. When I started to cry, he hit me again and again. I do not know what I did wrong. But he said I was a bad girl and needed to learn to listen and follow the rules.” She explained in detail what all happened. I am surprised that I did not have smoke coming out I was pissed. How could another human do that to another let alone a child?

I look around me at the others here listening to her cry and recount what have been done to her I am not the only one who is raging but I am the only one who seems to control it. I do not want to, but I do not want to scare her even less she is scared enough I do not need to lose my s**t and make her shut down on me. Would not do an good for her to clam up.

“well, Jarod you know what to do and you know who to leave for me to deal with, but you can have your fun just make sure they are alive and able to feel what I inflict.” I order my second in command. I never doubt him he has never given me reason to before and he never will.

“Yes, my king.” He replied immediately. Like I said never doubt.

“I’ll be there shortly Jarod to take over then we can head out.” I tell him before he closes the door that way, he knows to do it and do it quickly.

After Jarod left, I turn back to find Gabby asleep in my lap. Poor thing small and broken I wonder how she will be when she grows up. Will she be like this forever? Will she grow strong? I must see that she will fine without me I cannot leave and her still be like this to everyone I will kill them all to make her feel safe and happy.

“Mary where is her bedroom? She is asleep I’m going to lay her down and go deal with all this mess.” I asked her mother.

“It’s down the hall the last door on the left with the pink flowers all over it.” She replies.

I pick gabby up and carry her to her room and lay her under her covers and pull them up to her chin. I watch as she grabs them and rolls into a ball whimpering as she does so. It makes me cringe because I know what she is whimpering she is having a nightmare that she wakes to everyday. But tomorrow, tomorrow she is going to wake up and know she is safe. I will protect her till my last breath.

As I left their home Mary watched me with wary eyes go. I find Jarod right where he was the last time. But this time he is covered head toe in blood spatter and particulates. I do believe I see a piece of a skull in his beard. Hmmm? Wonder if he felt that hit him? It is a big piece to not feel, but knowing him he was to absorbed in the task that I had assigned to care or feel it?

“My King my turnover already? I have your subject awaiting you in their cells which are crap.

“Yes, Jarod it is my turn for some bloody fun. Show me the fun bags.” I say to Jarod.

“Yes, my king right this way.” He responds.

As we walk into their dungeon I looked around and Jarod is right it is all crap how can any of this hold anyone? The bars are all rusted falling apart. What is this pack doing? Do that care at all the dangers of not being able to have rogues properly contained? What if they get out, their pack could all be killed my queen could be killed? Damn it, its anther thing to fix before we leave just what we all need.

“Jarod, I want these cells fixed where they can actually contain the prisoners. I also want this place cleaned it smells worse than death, they smell worse than ours and that’s saying something because we suck people dry.” I tell him.

“Yes, my king. But we clean up after ourselves. Apparently, they do not. They need to learn or be taught how to.” Jarod replies.

“Yes, that we do Jarod that we do. Well, how about we teach them that along with maintenance for their equipment. Like their dungeons this is just ridiculous.” I say exasperated. This place is exhausting. I thought running a whole species was bad but this this is Ludacris.

“let us get some teams to do an overhaul get a hold of their king and let him know of the conditions and plans we have in effect. We want no repercussions from this. Then get started so we can leave should not take long maybe a few weeks if that plus our queen is here so not all is bad may want to alert him of that as well. I do believe yours is the first pairing of this sort I have heard of research is needed my king.” Jarod said.

“Very well Jarod do your research by your results make no difference to me. She will be your queen, or no one will be.” I state firmly and finally.

“My king.” Jarod says with a deep bow. “I was not saying, not to mate the queen in any case my king I was only curious as I have not heard of it before. You know without a doubt we all will stand at your back with whatever you decide my king. Will stand fight and ide at your back.” Jarod said. As he finished all my members that I brought with me were behind him and in front of me.

“I don’t want any of you behind me to fight to die or to stand.” I state firmly. As I watch their shoulders drop and their eyes find their feet I continue. “I want you all by my side as my brothers as you were created to be. We will stand, fight, and die side by side. That is how we live and that is how we shall die.” I end with a yell.

“Yes, always King Jake!” was exclaimed by all.

“Well, let us get to work we have a lot to do before we get to go home, and I know we all want that. Now on to our first order of business torture. Then rebuild what they left fall, stupid mutts. now we start with the ones Jarod has here for us then move on to our list which we have a few we need to get thru. Well more than a few. So, I will give names of people I need you guys to pick up and bring here and then we shall deal with them together as brothers. FOR OUR QUEEN!!!!” I roar to all.

“FOR OUR QUEEN!!” Is roared back at me.

Then they were off in all directions with the names of the people they need to retrieve for us to get the job finished. While they are away, I will be having a talk with this so-called father of my queen. I make my trek to find the dead beat to have my turn with. This going to be a blast and a half. Ah the lord made me exactly right just enough evil and malice to make me perfect revengeful machine. They shall see the perfection that is me at work amongst them today. May the vengeful part of our lord be proud of his creation may give the strength and insight to see and wield the weapon of my choosing to take my vengeance on my enemies for the sake of my queen and the innocents in this pack and others like it.

As I walked down the stairs, I thought of all I saw and needed to do. And let all the rage start to come out by the time I got to the cell I needed I was beyond ready to release some much-needed pressure off my chest. My hand hurt to lay into him they fisted own their own accord. As I got to the door one of my own opened the door to allow me access to our prisoner.

“Just like before in the trenches boys together till the end.” I shouted as I entered the room. The prisoner is chained from the ceiling from his ankles and he is chained from the floor by his wrists. Ah this should be fun. I was happy to see the had all my favorite toys already laid out for play time. I like knives they are more personal in your face. Plus, you die slower if done correctly it could take weeks months even. But we do not get months weeks yes but not for one person maybe him a little a day till the end. That could work.

“Hello, I didn’t get your name from anyone. But it does not matter because you won’t see anyone who will care what they call you.” I state to the man.

“I it’s t tony.” He stammered out.

“I don’t care.” I returned.

I walked to my table and fingered the edge of my biggest knife then the smallest. Then I ran my hand along the ones in between. Then I went and picked up the middle sized one because well not too much in the beginning but enough to get screams.

“Now you want to start telling me why you hurt your daughter?” I asked. May as well start out easy.

“That little b***h isn’t mine. I did not want kids. But that damn new alpha and his new damn rules. He does not care what everyone else wants just what he wants. He made me get with that b***h with that brat of a pup. Who would want her anyway? “And that earned him a punch to the jaw the crunch I’m sure was heard outside.

“Ahahaha. It is the truth. I did not want kids then I got stuck with one anyway. She does not listen always wants something. What was I supposed to do with that?” he asked as he spit out a mouth full of mouth and teeth.

“You may want to watch how you speak about her if you want to keep and teeth.” One of my men Raul said with a laugh, which got the rest laughing even had me snicker.

“Why? She is nothing special, just a dirty little w***e like her mother. Shell grow up just the same way. Best she gets used to being used now.” He laughed out. What was funny I am not sure, and neither are my men from the confused looks they are throwing my way.

“You don’t know do you? That women Mary the one the alpha made me be with was living in a brothel. That is how that little b***h came to be. I am surprised she even know who the father is like he did much good anyways seeing how I am here taking care of the b***h of pup.” He breathed out.

“I’d stay quiet if I was you but then again you don’t look that smart.” Said john another of my men. You can tell they are pissed they normally stay silent unless asked to speak.

“Is he being smart he wouldn’t be here to begin with. He would not have let himself be taken and hanged up like a pig getting ready for slaughter. But then we wouldn’t be having this fun we ae having.” I say as I let another fist fly this one straight to the gut. He tries to bend in half, but he cannot with the way he is hanging upside down. This creation is of my own making, almost like a St. Andrews cross but more sinister. Easily turned upside right or down whichever way I want. All it takes is a good kick to the head and around he goes. Speaking of. I lift m right foot like I am going to make the winning field goal and let it go straight to the side of his head and there he goes I put my hand up to stop he is progression around.

I grab a hold of his shirt and rip it open. I take my knife and slide it from his chin down to his naval not deep enough to kill but enough to get the satisfied scream I so very much desired to hear.

“Ah son of a b***h. Ah aha ahaa.” He roars as tears pour down his face. I just laugh and look to my men to see them all cringe away. I see Raul smirk at me I smirk back.

“Raul, I will need your assistance tomorrow when I continue this fun. As long as you’re not having your own fun.” I tell him as I wipe the blood spatter from my hands and face.

“No problem my king just tell me when it shall be done.” He answered with a bow.

“I’m going to head back now and shower hopefully our queen is still asleep.” I state as I walk out of the room and the dungeon.

When I get outside, I see everyone I asked for standing together looking confused as to why they were called here. Well, let us clear that up right now shall we.

“Guards take them and put them where they belong according to what they have sone to your queen.” I shout to my men. Before the last words are out of mouth they are moving. The protests were loud but nonviolent. I guess I did not get all the blood off myself but that is ok. That is why we have showers just hope Gabby is still asleep do not need to walk in there and her see me and get scared. Tomorrow I need to sit down with this alpha and see what is in his head to make it ok to pair wolves’ instead of letting them mate like they are supposed to. The goddess would be upset to hear this she does not make mates just so they can be ignored. I am surprised she has not acted; she is vengeful when her gifts are rejected.

Well, I must try to get there before she is awake, cannot have her hate me and not want to be around me. As I get to the houses its silent maybe I am in luck. I open the door and right there on the couch is gabby. When she looks at me with those big hazel eyes of hers the get bigger. I freeze and wait for her to freak out and run screaming from me. But she shocks the hell out of me when she gets up and slowly makes her way to me. She stands in front of me and just stares at me. I get on my knees so I can talk to her at her level.

“What happened to you? Who hurt you?” she whispers reaching up to touch me but pulls her hand back at the last second.

“No one hurt me my sweet queen. That bad stuff will wash off with a long shower.” I promise her.

“Ok I hope so mister king. I don’t want you hurt to.” She says as she looks down and turns back to the couch.

I watch her make her way back to her spot completely utterly speechless. What do you say to that? How is she not afraid I was so sure she would be, but she surprised me. Such a tough little thing even though she has been hurt more than anyone should especially for her age. Just means I must be more cautious to make sure not to hurt her more. Now for my shower must wash this off so I do not look a fright anymore and make gabby think I am hurt. Do not need her to worry about me when she should not be worried about anything but having fun. Now that I think about it, I have not seen any more kids around besides her, I wonder what that is about. I need to have that checked into. Something is wrong here, very wrong. I wonder what is going on in her head. What is she thinking about me? Does she think I am a monster?

“Mister king when you clean will you read to me please?” she asks me quietly. Well guess she do not hate me, and she would not want a monster to read to her right?

“Yes, my queen ill read to you till you fall asleep.” I answer just as quiet. She gives me a small gentle smile that does not reach her eyes. How I wish to see all her light shine. How bright would she shine? I bet she would make the sun jealous shed be so bright.

I walk into the bathroom at the end of the hall and am not impressed with what I am seeing. The tub is almost all the way rusted thru the shower head I do not even know how water comes out of that. Does water come out of that? Well let us find out. I turned the cold on then the hot and got it perfect before putting the shower on and amazingly water does come out.

As I washed all the blood and grime of myself, I let mind wander to my queen. I have waited for centuries to find her and then when I do, she is just a tiny little thing such as she is, but she is perfect. I know I have still had years to wait for her, but I know she is well worth the wait and more. She is worth it all, the centuries of loneliness, cold darkness that was surrounding me. All those years I spent hating this life and all the killing I did without remorse. I get out before the water turns cold dry off and dress. When I go back to the couch gabby is still sitting there and waiting for me, she flashes me a smile when she notices me enter the room. That is the first sign of brightness I have seen in her eyes. Hopefully, I can help restore the full shine. The world needs that light to fight off pitch dark that will descend on this world. She will be our savior; we are undeserving of such a creature even with a million more millennia’s we could never deserve her.

“Are you ready for your story little wolf?” I asked gently.

“Yes, mister king I’m redy.” She replied jut as gently. I walked to her and held out my hand for her to take. I let her lead me to her room down the hall. I opened the door and let her go in first I pulled the covers down as she went and picked the book; she wants me to read. Her room is the only one that is worth a damn at least Mary tried inn this aspect of Gabby’s life.

“Here mister king I want tis one.” She hands me beauty and the beast. “It’s my favoate. He is not really a beast he is nice but looks scary. I want that mister king.” She tells me. Awe my queen. Shell eventually see she has her beast, and I have my beauty.

I read her, her book and I hear her soft snores before I get to the middle of the book. I keep reading to make sure she is out for the night, then I slowly and carefully get up and cover her up to her chin and watch as she whimpers and rolls into a ball before snores come again. I leave her to her sleep to find some of my own. Making my way back to the couch I pass Mary on my way.

“I just want to thank you for making her safe. I tried but the alpha would not help I told him what I thought was happening. He told me he was mate and as such could do as he pleased with what he was given. I didn’t know what to do.” She hung her head and went to her room.

“You could have written to the council, an alpha of a different pack, or ran away anything would’ve been better than this.” I stated firmly. She turned sharply towards me with tears in her eyes and anger on her face.

“I tried and tried and tried. I wrote they check the mail. With that said she ripped her shirt over her head and turned showing me her back that was scarred to high heaven. Marks crisscrossed on all her back from top to bottom from her neck down to the top of her pants. It looks like they under the pants.

“That’s from writing to the council?” I question.

“Yes, and from writing the other alphas when that failed. Then run away five times when that failed. So, mister king I tried.” She spat at me and turned and walked into her room and closed herself in.

Well now do not I feel like a grade a asshole. This is worse than I thought, I will have to get a hold of the council myself let them know what has happened here. They need to be aware they should have already been informed; they will be mad. Nothing can be done about that now though; they need to have a better system so they can keep this s**t from happening.my covens do not have this s**t but then again, I have a system. maybe I will give them some pointers, now to find Jarod.

Making my way back outside and to the dungeons because I know he will not be done yet he never tires. He will not sleep till I order him to which I may have to if he does not stop on his own. Which I am sure he will not, but a guy can hope. Making my way back down the stairs to the cell in which I will find my second, and there he is, Shirtless bloody as usual.

“Jarod don’t mean to interrupt but we have several issues we have to deal with before we continue. If you will join up top.” I say and turn and walk back out. The air down there is hard to breathe not sure how he does it without trouble.

“What can I help with my king?’ Jarod asked as soon as he was in front of me.

“Well, it turns out Mary tried to get a hold of the council and other alphas for help they have been blocking her mail from leaving and apparently whipping her when they find one of her letters. She has tried to take gabby and run a few times. They brought her back and whipped her each time. The council needs to be informed.” I state getting angry again.

“Well will need to call and inform immediately or we may have war. Which we will win.” Jarod states like he said it was sunny. I had to laugh at him there is a reason he is my best friend. We are two ears of corn off the same stalk.

“That’s why I’m telling you figured you are better at wording things then me plus I may be too close to this to be levelheaded. Seeing how my mate was the one who got hurt I know I won’t be rational.” I say sadly.

“My king anything you need me to do I will without hesitations. Whenever you need me to no matter the time or day. You are my king, no matter what it is I will do it I swear I swore when I joined your side and I swear now again my king.” He replied as he dropped to his knee and bowed his head.

“Please rise Jarod. you are my friend first. You have been doing a lot of bowing since we have been here, I do not like Jarod. I know you respect me, or you would not be my second. Now how should we proceed?” I ask him.

“I’ll go write up the letters we need my king and get everything started so we have no backlash from the fall out of what we do here. Even though she is three, so this has been going on under their noses for years so I do not think we will have any backlash but to be on the safe side I will get a hold of who I must, so we are covered anyways.” Jarod said making a list of everything and everyone he must contact.

“Thank you, Jarod. I appreciate everything you do for me and our kingdom we are lucky to have you. And I am even luckier because I also have you as a friend not just guard.” I tell him grabbing his shoulder in a squeeze.

“I am nothing special neither is what I do I am doing my duty same as anyone would in my stead. I am the lucky one sir I get to call you king and friend not many can say that Jake.” Jarod replied.

“I know Jarod and I’m honored your one of them. It would be a great loss if I didn’t have you.” I tell him. “Alright enough of the sap. We got work to do. Let us get back to work Jarod get those letters sent let me know if, and when they call, I’d really like to talk to them if they are going to come out and monitor our progress.” I say as I walk away.

As I make my way back to Mary’s house to sleep, I keep my eyes and ears open for threats not everyone was happy about us fixing everything here. They need to get over it, bunch of mutts I swear. You would think they had no heart whatsoever. Not sure they even have a soul let alone a heart but that is between them and their goddess. I went inside and got comfortable for bed maybe sleeping on the couch, but I will be comfy doing it. As I was putting my pillow and blanket down a scream tore thru the air of the still night. I know that scream because only she can tear me to shreds. Rushing to Gabby’s room see her thrashing in the sheets swinging her arms trying to fight off whatever is fighting her in her dreams. I pull her into my arms and her screams turn into whimpers. I sit with her in my arms on her bed and rock her back and forth till she fell back to a soundless sleep when I looked up, I seen Mary standing in the doorway.

“That happens every night I can never get her to quiet down. I try everything I can think to try to get her to, but it does not work ever, with anyone. It just shows your connection as mates is strong. And it will continue to strengthen as time goes on even when you are apart. So, imagine when she is of age how strong you guys will be.” Mary said. I never really thought about it, but she is right. I have seen gabby with the others of her pack others who she should be close to and is not. With me she does not make a sound she likes me to hold her and she seems to react good to my voice even during her nightmares. Since she is asleep, I went to put her back down, but she was clinging to me like a damn spider monkey not letting go so I just laid on my back and let her lay on my chest. If I can give my queen so peace even if it is for a little while, then that is what I will do. I do not mind having her here with me while we sleep, and she does not seem to mind either. Hopefully, she'll sleep well tonight.
