“So, you can heal when the moon is at its fullest?” Dad asked her.
She nodded, “Yeah, whilst I assumed it could be the moon at its fullest, which gives us three days. Dante said under the full moon, so it has to be at night when the moon is at its peak, the one night that the moon’s aura is most prominent. Leo’s theory then gives us just a few hours on the second day, so that moment when it’s at its peak.” She explained, a pout on her gorgeous lips.
“So that would be the night we set for the Alpha and Luna ceremony.” Dad mused.
“Yup.” She replied, brushing her silky locks back. My gaze dipped to her stomach, I could hear the heartbeat of our pup often when it was silent. Her bump was getting more prominent too… I still can’t fucking believe I’m going to be a dad all over again… This time it’ll be different because I won’t be alone… I’d have my beautiful queen by my side.
For a moment, I simply appreciated her breasts then smoothly looked away, before I ended up pinning her against the nearest wall and kissing her senseless. I pulled her close, making her gasp, one that I cut off with a sizzling kiss. I ran my tongue along her lips and slipped it into her mouth, slowly playing with hers. The moment I felt myself throb against her thigh, I moved back.
‘Can’t wait to take that cock in my mouth tonight… I think you deserve a reward for everything you have done today! She murmured through the bond, sucking hard on my neck, and I knew she had left a mark when she moved back with a satisfied smirk. ‘Can’t fucking wait.’ I responded, shamelessly staring at her breasts, before I gave her an arrogant smirk.
“Young love.” Dad smirked as we entered headquarters and made our way down to the cells.
Our men lowered their heads as we passed, and I unlocked the door. Dad was frowning now, and when we entered the cell, we saw Emmet sitting on the bed, his eyes closed, but he was awake.
He looked paler, clearly, the lack of food and the silver in the cell made it worse. I glanced over at Azura, I didn’t want her in here for long, not wanting the silver to affect her or the baby.
“Hello, Emmet.” Dad said quietly, disappointment clear in his voice.
Emmet opened his eyes and gave him a small smile. “Hello Alpha… I had a feeling it was going to come to this sooner or later.”
Dad nodded. “You had your entire life before you, Emmet; it’s disappointing to see you choose a path of darkness.”
“As did your son.”
“There’s a difference,” Dad said quietly.
Emmet nodded. “Ah shit… Yeah, he’s an Elite. Sorry, I’m not bowing down and kissing the floor beneath your feet, but I’m really not feeling great.”
I frowned, yeah, I could see that… guess the side effects of losing Jackie was hitting him too…
“No need to bow down, we are equal, Emmet, only defined by our actions.” Dad looked at me, and I knew this was hard for him, after all, he had always treated Emmet like a son.
My eyes were cold when I looked at the man before me. I no longer considered him a friend or brother. “Command him to answer everything I ask.” I said coldly, stepping forward. “Starting with, where did you create those bullets? I want the location of your base.” Dad’s aura spread, seeping into every corner of the room. His eyes blazed as he looked Emmet directly in the eyes. “Answer him!” He thundered, making even Azura flinch at the menacing power in his voice.
I often forgot how powerful he was… That was a voice he didn’t use much anymore…
Emmet’s eyes filled with panic before his gaze darted to the door.
“The…” He was trying to resist, his heart was thundering violently. He leapt off the bed, his eyes on the open cell door, but I caught him, slamming him up against the wall.
“Answer!” I growled.
“Th-the-” His desperation and irritation were clear on his face as he stared at the open door, his heart pounding. “The- The CAVERNS!”
His words rang in the cell, and I dropped him to the floor, my own heart thundering.
He didn’t need to tell me what caverns… How the hell did he even stomach going back to where it all started… and this meant I would have to go too… To the place, I was not only born but the place that fucking birthed all my nightmares. Back to the hell where Endora reigned over us all…
LEO.
“There!” Emmet hissed as he glared up at me with hatred.
Dad frowned, looking at him sharply. “How could you enter a place that is scarred with so much darkness?”
“Because no one would ever think to look there.” I said quietly, taking a step back from the bastard on the floor. “None of us would ever think one of us would even step into that place willingly…” I looked at the metal walls of the cell, flashes of the dark stone walls of the caverns returning to the forefront of my mind.
He smirked coldly. “You’re too late…”
“Oh yeah? We’ll see about that. Why did you taint the drugs?” I asked. His smirk faltered, and he clenched his jaw as if not wanting to answer.
“Why do you think? The more that die… because of you, the worse you would have felt… you were never one of us Leo, you were always one of them!” He hissed.
So his only incentive was to make me feel guilty. How blinded was I to think he actually considered me a brother, but even I knew when someone was too far gone to get through to…
“And you thought you’d kill two fucking birds with one stone… the drugs you stole, you probably sold them to fund your shit?”
“If you already know, why ask?” Emmet hissed, his gaze flickering to Azura. “Seems like the bitch is here to stay… This pack is no longer ours.”
“Watch it!” Dad growled, as I grabbed him by the collar and slammed him against the wall, my anger tearing through me.
Blistering white-hot fury flashed through me. “That is your Luna.” I snarled, my grip tightening around his throat.
He laughed. “See, just like them, abuse-“
“Actually, if Leo was like ‘them’ then you wouldn’t be alive right now.” Azura said, stepping forward, holding the heavy-duty staple gun in her hand. Ok so maybe that shit might do a little damage… “and… I owe you something for trying to kill my baby. Since you hate us so-called elite, I’m going to behave just like how you think we do.”
She raised the gun, pressing it to his cheek; he turned his head, but she was faster pressing on the lever. It went off, and he hissed, the staple embedded into his cheek.
“You bitch!”
“That one was for my baby and this one is for kicking me.” She slammed the gun on his nose and I heard something break, his head slamming back against the wall, before she stapled him right on the bridge of his nose.
He growled, thrashing in my hold, trying to attack her, but I kept him in place.
Her heart was thundering as she glared at him. “This one’s for Jackie.” Another shot went into his neck, and I saw Dad wince from the corner of my eye.
