THE ZARYA WIXX'S UNESCAPABLE VENGEANCE 102
PRINCE JACE'S POV
"I can't!" Ven was holding her belly, the blood from her thighs was rolling.
I touched her both cheeks. "You can… for our baby."
She gazed at Haya and Kaye, "They can give you another child, Prince. I can't run. It hurts me so much."
"Please!" I lifted her in my arms. The tears in my eyes were already rolling. I saw it right in front of my face. Zarya Wixx killed my father in the most brutal way. It was okay if I would die, but how about my women? What will happen to them? I loved them and I can't leave them in this cruel world.
Ven glued our foreheads together. "I love you. You are my one and only Prince."
"Prince Jace, we need to hurry!" Heba was holding Haya and Kaye. "They are coming!"
I heard the running of wolves. Any time, they would approach us.
I placed my knee and hands on the soil and changed into my wolf form. "Put her at my back." Heba lifted Ven and rested me on my back. "Hold on."
I did everything that I could do to run as fast as I could. I would never forget that look in Zarya's eyes. She was so livid. If I were in her situation I would be so mad, too. I understand why it had to be like this, but I could not manage my anger right now. My father died in her hands in the most brutal way.
I ran and ran until one of the wolves bumped into me, the reason why I rolled towards the pit. I was not thinking about myself, my concern was on the pregnant Ven. She rolled to the other side. The event was so fast that even I, could not one by one the actions. I recognized that the wolf who collided with me was the Alpha King of Water! On his side was Zarya, her eyes were extremely dark in fury and enrage. I shifted into my human form, crawling on the forest floor as I felt the weakening of my body.
My world felt like stop when Zarya yanked the Ven's hair. She shouted in pain. "No!" I raised my hand and rubbed it, pleading with her. "Please, not her. Please. Kill me, but not her!"
"I heard myself to you… saying please." Zarya gritted her teeth. She was so mad, different from the last time I saw her. She stood brave and strong as if our lives were in their hands.
I saw Heba was about to come near us to save us, but I moved my head left and right, gesturing at the Alpha King of Water. One word and we would all die. It was okay if I die, but not my child and Ven. They did not do anything to her.
Why do they have to be included in her revenge?
"Zarya… our pack did bad to you, but her…" I pointed at Ven. I tried to move up, but I failed. I realized there was a huge sharp wood burying my belly and on my right foot. "She has nothing to do with this… please." I could spell out that she was pregnant. That would just worsen the situation.
"I said please to all of you, but what did you do to my family?" Her eyes slowly produced tears. "You killed my father."
"He's the reason why my mother died." I would be honest with her. His father was not a great beta to us. He was a great tractor! Because of that, my mother… my innocent mother got killed!
"Reason? He didn't kill her! It was just a fucking reason! I suffered so much and until now…" The tears slowly drop on her cheek and eventually rivering it. "Until now, I am suffering. I don't know… where will be the sorrow stop."
"I'm so sorry." I started to panic when she pulled Ven, going up by yanking her hair. My eyes looked down at her thighs. They were not recognizing the blood running from it.
If our child dies, I will accept that as the consequence of our mistake toward her, but if Ven dies, I don't know if I can be the same man now as the man of tomorrow.
"Your father unattached my brother's head from its shoulder… in front of fucking face!" She stopped talking, gazing at the Ven.
"Jace…" Ven was crying with her heart out. The pain in her eyes was triple to me.
"I'm begging you." I rubbed my palms, even though my knee was down and bent. "Kill me instead."
"She looks so important to you." Zarya's grin was written on her face while the tears were still rolling down her face.
"You don't need to show me that you are stronger now. You don't need to be a bad person by killing innocent just to take revenge." The tears in my eyes rolled as I saw the overflowing of blood in Ven's thighs. "Kil those who have mistakes to you, not a poor woman."
"Coming from you?" She yanked Ven's hair even more. She pointed the knife at her throat. "Kill those who have mistakes? Why did you kill my brother and mother, then?" She shook her head, jaw was clenching while the knife in her hand tightened its grip. "Because you are all cruel and heartless!"
I knew in this battle, there was a low chance that she would listen to me. I would possibly not win this battle and be unable to protect her. Sometimes, being so mad would drag you to do something unbelievable.
Suddenly, Kaye showed up from Zarya's back. "Ahhh!" She was about to stab her with the knife, but Zarya dodged to the left. In one blink of an eye, Kaye was laying on the soil, touching her belly which was full of blood and had a knife buried inside it.
"Kaye!" I tried to run so fast to get her, but King Water blocked my way. He gave me a painful blow of punch on the stomach. I landed on the forest floor as the sound of my drop could be heard. "Kaye…" That did not stop me from crawling toward her. She was running out of breath while the blood was dripping from her mouth.
"One, you saw murdering your own father. Two, this woman will die for you. And three…" She grabbed Ven's hair for the second time. "This woman."
I sobbed with my heart out. I could battle. How can I? One word came from the mouth of the Alpha King of Water who was now standing careless, back was leaning on the tree and watching us. He would just go near if Zarya needed help.
"Is there no love in your heart? You don't have to forget who you are because of your revenge! Would you think that killing my beloved ones would satisfy you?" I fought the fire in her eyes, revealing rage at the moment. "The reality is… it won't give back your family's life."
"Yes… it is." She played the knife on Ven's cheek as ven cried loudly. "But you can die over and over again."
Heba was on the back, trying to find ways again to help us, but I shook my head for the second time to him, saying "no." We had no fight with these two people. Both powerful. We will just die. Heba moved backward. I whispered, "Run." Haya was crying so much. To avoid hearing them, Heba was covering her mouth. When they did not move, I repeated, "Run."
Zarya was shocked, she recognized that there was someone on her back. The dread was shock me as it spread throughout my system. Fortunately, before she turned her face to them, they hid on the lush plant.
Her attention came back to me. "Hear your voice now."
The slow movement of my world could be seen when she slashed Ven's throat. It was too fast that even I, could not predict her actions.
"No! Ven!" I ran towards her even though it was too slow due to my wounds. I grabbed her body. The blood was dripping from her neck down to her body. I touched her face and hugged her so tight as the pain was unbearable as if this was the end of my life. I crawled again to reach Kaye.
"You… will…" Kaye coughed blood difficulty. "Be… the… Alpha." Kaye tried to cup my cheek, but she failed until she slowly close her eyes.
I could not take the pain anymore. I was holding in my hands the two ladies I swore to protect. "Don't die! You didn't see your family as my promise!" I hugged Kaye's body and then Ven's.
The tears in Ven's eyes were gradually rolling on her cheek. She could not talk as she grabbed my hand and slowly brought it to her belly. I cried so bad. So freaking bad! My whole world was ruined. I wanted to scream at Zarya who was now standing in front of me, mad at me, however, she also crying silently.
"You're… the wonderful… thing…" Ven tried so bad to talk, to hear make me hear what she wanted to say. "That… have… ever… occurred to me."
I cupped her cheek, hugged her so tight, and kissed her lips. I cried and cried as if it could lessen the suffocation in my chest and remove the thorns and stabbing sensation, but no matter what I did. It was very painful.
"I love you… I love you, Ven. Can you hear me?" I whispered in her ear. "You are the first and last woman I love until my last breath." I kissed her cheek over and over again as I caressed her belly.
To my little one, I'm so sorry. I was unable to protect you.
I looked up at Zarya who was now looking down at me. "Are you happy now? I saved your life! I hope I didn't do that!"
"You should." She turned her back on me. She gazed back again at me when she stopped two times. "Your biggest mistake is killing my father and leaving me alive." She paused and ground her teeth in anger. "Living with these memories is more than torturing me uncountable times."
The emotion in her eyes intensified the fire. She spoke up the words that I would not forget. Never until I died. "Run… and live your life with the pain. Ask yourself repeatedly how can you stop the sorrow? And if you find no answer… better die."
I revealed the madness that I tried to manage for the longest period of time. "I will kill you."
"I will save you now. We are even." She stepped away from me and before she finally left me, she spoke again. "You shall return."
