Chapter 55: Bastard
Axel
"You look better," Rex said with a softness in his eyes that grated deeply on my nerves as I stared at him. Has he forgotten what she had done?
Growling under my breath enough to draw attention to myself as I began speaking, "You’re pregnant! Gesso’s confirmed it. She also informed us that in a month, the ritual would be done and then it would be my turn," I told her satisfied to watch her flinch as I fixed my gaze on her. frёeωebɳovel.com
The anger I felt was fresh every single time I laid eyes on her which only worsened seeing Thor’s indifference and Rex, who probably wasn’t aware that he was becoming soft. freewebnoveℓ.com
"At least you’ll be useful for something!" I continued satisfied to watch her lower her head to the ground. Nothing she could ever do could make up for the lives she killed and ruined.
She didn’t speak and to be honest there was nothing more for me to say either since we were simply on our way out to hunt when we spotted her.
"If your sleeping place is not good enough, I can have you moved to the Alpha building,"Rex said and it was all I could do not to snap at him as I gritted my teeth together in anger fixing my gaze on him.
The woman though instantly shook her head with a slight look of shock on her face and almost horror. Clearly she wanted nothing to do with Rex, even if mating and lying with her had gone to Rex’s head.
"I...I like my place! I’m already better! There’s no need for that," she said her voice trembling hard enough for me to know that she was my faking it as I chuckled in a low tone staring at her place face hating how delicate and pleasing it looked.
"Yes, maybe staying in the alpha building would be better!" I added delighted to see her fear only double, enough that I could the racing of her heart through her chest as she glanced at me before glancing back at the ground on the edge of tears.
Fake tears.
I glanced at Thor expecting him to say something as he met my gaze only for him to shrug his shoulders the moment he met my gaze before he finally spoke. "Sure! There are rooms she can use them! It won’t make a difference,"
Her body shaking harder enough to please me. Be scared, hate every second of your life and be unable to do anything about it. Recalling the betrayal i felt . I was the one who begged to let her go. I was the one who was to blame for such a massacre.
And if I was to carry the weight of it for the rest of my life then there was no way I would ever allow her to forget it and move on with her life, having seen her with her two friends laughing and smiling.
I will ruin you...even if it’s the last thing I do! I swore to myself watching her lower her head to the ground as she spoke again, "can...can I at least stay a bit in my place for a week? It’ll be weird if I suddenly moved to the alpha building. People will ask questions,"
Only for me to groan and roll my eyes in annoyance as I responded before Rex could. "Let them! Left to me i would rather tell them that you’re out Whore and nothing more! It would explain the pregnancies and special treatment," I said watching her legs tremble as I spoke.
A tear sliding down her cheeks which I reveled in as I stared at her face a smile tugging on my lips just as Thor spoke up again, "We’re burning daylight! I’d rather hunt!" He said with a loud sigh of frustration that said he wanted nothing more than to leave.
Rex opened his mouth to speak to her as I sneered only for him to shut it, turning to look at me then Thor before speaking. "Fine let’s go!" He said before turning back to look at the woman who still had her head lowered almost to her chest.
"It does not have to be immediately. As long as your condition doesn’t get worse," he told her before turning around, Thor already choosing the part to the right side of the forest and leading the way.
Rex followed and I followed right after but not before glancing back to look at her with a smug look on my face watching her grab a tree to steady herself as she raised her head, fresh tears streaming down her face.
Shocked to see me looking right at her but instead of lowering her head like I expected her to, for a split moment I watched her glare at me with those radiant blue eyes of hers which surprised me.
An unexpected resilience, one I fully intended to crush once Rex’s spawn was out of her belly as I smiled, a slow smile spreading across my face as I tilted my head to the side grabbing the sword in my hand wrapped with leather tightly as I held her gaze and whispered loud enough that she should have been able to hear.
"I can’t wait to mate with you! Enjoy Rex while you can," showing the most cruel expression I could muster so she would know that I fully intended to ensure that it was not an enjoyable experience for her.
Delighted to watch her lower her head back to the ground as i turned to follow Rex closing the bit of distance between us, not surprised to see that he had glanced back looking right at me.
But instead of following behind him i increased my pace as I walked right by him while muttering under my breath as I clashed my shoulders against his, loud enough for even Thor to hear.
"If I didn’t know better I would think you’re going soft on your mother’s murderer," I whispered to him feeling his Aira instantly spread out in fury. His hands balled in rage and expression was manic.
Still I continued walking forward, knowing he wouldn’t hit me from behind but fully expecting him to hit me, something I almost craved. Hunting helped unleash my fury but fighting another strong alpha would work just as much.
But even as I walked with my back tense expecting a fight, I was surprised when he didn’t fight back instead he simply walked behind me and I turned my gaze to Thor, who met my gaze with a smirk on his lips.
His brown eyes boring into mine like he saw right through me and all of me in a way that I hated as I glared back, not surprised to see him shrug like usual before turning around to continue on the path he led us through greeting the scouts we passed with a quiet smile.
The pack members greeted him right back with a smile and an ease that showed that they didn’t think he was a threat, hence the reason why I trusted Thor the least.
’Bastard!’
