Chapter 61

Elton:

Yandel and I stood by the door as we waited for Rosalyn to manage whatever she was working on inside.

The man has groaned more times than I ever thought an old man like him could nut, but at this point, as long as she managed to make him drink the poison, I didn’t care what she had to do.

“Shit…” she said as a loud thud could be heard inside. Her heart raced and both Yandel and I smirked before rushing inside. 

Luca was on the floor. His eyes widened in surprise as he tried taking a breath. He was choking on his own blood, and I knew that his time was coming to an end. He barely needed two or three minutes, four if his body was going to allow him to tolerate more of it, before he died. 

“I did as told.” She said, her hands shaking and I nodded, motioning for her to leave. Yandel pulled out a small vial and handed it to me. I smirked and looked at Luca as I kneeled on one knee, helping him sit up. 

“You…”

“You know, you should have seen it coming, Luca.” I said, looking at him with a smirk on my lips. His eyes widened and he took a deep breath, trying to catch his. “This is the antidote, but you know, it won’t come without a price.” 

“You fucking prick…” he said, shaking his head as his eyes widened. “I gave my daughter to a monster.”

“Well, she did deserve everything that she was punished for; therefore, I am not sure if I should be considered a monster. You know, she was to be my wife, and if I had been a little harder on her, maybe she would have known not to run away from her own wedding the night before it happened.” I said, shrugging my shoulders. “Don’t worry, she will know very well how to submit to me when I have found her. But now, for our deal.”

“You…”

“If you want this antidote, you are going to sign this paper and give everything to me. I am going to be the pack’s Alpha, and you are going to be no more than an omega in the pack. I would say rogue, but I am keeping in mind that I am to marry your daughter, and you know, the last thing that I want is for her to remember that her father was exiled.” I said, and he growled. “I would make a quick decision. You know, you have a minute left…”

The man tried crawling on the ground to get the antidote and I chuckled before walking to his desk. I knew where he kept the ring that he used for his signature, but I wanted him to do it. I lit the red candle, something that I saw as cliché in this family, but I knew better than to try and change things now. I was going to enforce my own adjustments when time came. At first, I had to ‘grieve’ for the man who died. 

I walked toward him and handed him the ring before putting the wax on the paper. His eyes met mine and I smiled coldly. 

“You are going to pay for this.” He said, and I nodded.

“I don’t doubt that, but for now, you need this, and I think that with the circumstance that you are in, you can’t really afford to have time to bargain. Therefore, how about you use your last thirty seconds wisely.” I said, and he growled. He took the paper from me, and put the ring on the paper, signing it. 

I nodded at Yandel to give him the vial, and opening it, the man gulped it down without thinking twice. I rolled my eyes and watched as he put the bottle on the floor before he coughed. His blood came out of his mouth and he frowned. 

His eyes widened and I watched as he dropped dead before shaking my head. 

“What do you want us to do now?” He asked, and I smirked. 

“Well, for starters, I think that we need to make the little maid pay for the crime that she did.” I said, and he chuckled. “How about you send the men to her room. You know, I think that they’re going to enjoy doing this.” 

He nodded and the two of us walked out of the room. I frowned and glared at the men for a second before a low growl rumbled from my chest, catching everyone’s attention.

“Alpha Luca has been killed,” I said, staring at nothing in particular. “And I want the last person that was with him before the incident killed. You know, that person deserves to die for the crime and sin that they dared commit.”

I nodded at Yandel who shook his head as a smirk played on his lips before the two of us walked toward my office. The man was stupid enough to think that I was going to stand back behind whatever bullshit he put me through throughout all these years, but I knew that him choosing me to marry Eleanor was to ‘ground me’ to some extent before I became Alpha. 

The one thing that he didn’t seem to realize was that I was not there to submit to him. I never was one to like submitting anyway.

“Alpha?” Rosalyn said, entering my office. The men, Luca’s men, brought her over, and she frowned in confusion. I nodded at them to leave, not wanting her to say anything that would let them know that I killed the man.

“Rosalyn, take a seat.” I said, walking toward the bar. Yandel sat down in front of her, and I nodded at him, silently asking if he wanted a drink. He nodded, and I poured the three of us our glasses. The woman was going to indeed meet her mother and sister, might as well give her the same fate that she gave her ‘Alpha’. I walked toward her with her glass, and she blushed. “You look nervous, a scotch glass would calm you down.”

“When I saw them coming to my room…”

“You’re safe now. Nothing to worry about,” I said, walking back to the bar. I gave Yandel his glass and took mine before sitting down in front of her. “I promised you your money before you left.”

I opened the drawer and pulled out a check, handing it to her. “You can leave now if you want. This is initially why I called you. One of my drivers would take you to the airport, and you can head to your mother and sister.”

“Thank you, Alpha.” She said, smiling brightly and I nodded. 

“I should be the one thanking you, Rosalyn.” I said, and she smiled before taking another sip of her drink. She went to put the glass back on the table only for it to slip and break. 

“I…” her eyes widened and her heart raced before she tried sitting straight. However, her body quickly dropped as she started shaking as she choked on her own breath. Being human, the poison affected her ten times faster than it would to a wolf. “Alpha…”

“That’s what you get for betraying your Alpha,” I whispered to her as I watched the blood pour from her ears and nose. “Good night…”
