Chapter 15 - Returning to Golden Moon

Chapter 15 - Returning to Golden Moon
Steven's P.O.V.

I look at my beta and feel like ripping his throat out. I should have known his weasel ass would back down. He was always too weak to be my beta. I look behind me and can't believe it. Where there had been close to a hundred men before, there are only about a dozen, and they don't look like they want to be here. Well, this is just great.

"This is your final warning to let me take over peacefully before we attack," I yell at Misty and her mates. They look at each other and start laughing.

"You're going to attack us? With what? Those mutts behind you look like they're way past their prime, if they ever had a prime, to begin with. Don't worry about the other men who were with you; they're still here. We had guards waiting for them when they tried to leave, so they were all locked up in the dungeons. You really made this too easy for us. I thought it would be a battle, not just swatting a few pesky mosquitoes," Misty says as though she's bored. I step forward, and none of them move like they're not scared of me. What's wrong with them? Don't they understand that once I have Misty, I'll be able to kill them all?  

"You will obey me and come down here to take your rightful place as my mate. Marie is dead, so I choose you to be my mate. You're not my biological daughter, yet I am your alpha, so you need to do as I say." Before I even finish speaking her two mates run toward me. I want to run but don't want to appear weak, so I stand my ground. Vaughn punches me in the face, and it sends me flying backward. I'm suddenly moving so slowly that I don't fall immediately. I try to look to see what's going on, but all my motions are slow. Vaughn grabs my hair and slams me to the ground hard. When I look up, Misty and their warriors have my men on the ground.  

I try to stand, and Vaughn kicks me in the abdomen so hard I vomit when I fall on my face. Ivan puts his foot on my back so I can't move.

"Don't kill him. We're taking him back to Golden Moon." I look up at Misty, and she's smirking at me.  

"If you take me there, you can prepare to die. My pack loves me and will fight for me." I look at Adam and Sal when they approach.

"They don't love you; they hate you," Sal says. I guess he grew a backbone all of a sudden. When I feel a kick in the face, I look up and see Justin glaring at me.

"You're a mean man. Auntie Misty said I don't have to be nice to you anymore." I try to grab the little brat, but Ivan digs the heel of his shoe into my back.

"I should have killed you a long time ago. You're pathetic, just like your dad." Justin runs over and kicks me again, making blood squirt from my nose.

"Come on, Justin, I don't want you to get any of his nastiness on your shoes," Misty says, taking his hand. Justin turns around and spits on my face before running off to his mother. When I get out of this, they're all dead.  

Gal puts silver cuffs on my hands, and he and Adam load me into an SUV. I see the other men they had on the ground being loaded into vehicles as well. It doesn't take us long to get to Golden Moon. I know my pack won't turn their backs on me. When they pull me out of the vehicle, I'm thrown to the ground.

"Sal, mindlink everyone to come out here," Misty tells my bitch of a beta. A few minutes later, the pack emerges.

"You see what they're doing to me. As your alpha, I demand you attack them and make them let me go," I yell, but no one moves.  

"As you can see, your former alpha is no longer a threat to you. I am so sorry that I didn't realize the terror he was putting many of you through. He will no longer be a problem. We have brought him here so you can help us decide on a punishment." Misty grabs the back of my collar and throws me on the ground in front of the pack. I get up on my knees.

"You will not touch me, or you'll be dead," I yell at them. Misty kicks me in the back, making me fall on my face. With the damn silver cuffs on, I'm unable to shift, but if I could, I would have killed her already. The omega, who I broke in a few days ago, walks forward.  

"He raped me, and now I'm scared when I find my mate, he won't want me because of what he did." She has tears streaming down her face, and I wish I could get up so I could rape her again while everyone watches. She's an omega, and no one cares what happens to her. Misty walks over and puts her arm around her.  

"I'm so sorry. Do you have any family here?" Why does she care who she has here? She's a nobody.

"No. I've been passed around from different packs to work as a servant after my parents died when I was a pup." The omega answers her.  

"Who cares? She's a nobody." I scream. Misty leads her over to where I am.  

"You know firsthand what a monster he is. What do you think should be done to him?" Misty asks her.  

"He should be punished for what he did to me, but what he did to me was nothing compared to some of the others. Some women died from the condition he left them in, and others killed themselves. He should die for the lives he took." The omega looks at me and glares.

"What's your name?" Misty asks her.  

"I don't know. No one has ever called me by a name. They just call me omega." This has been going on for too long. I will kill them all for making me sit here and listen to this.  

"What would you like your name to be?" Misty asks.

"Will you shut the fuck up? Who cares what her name is? She is no one. She doesn't deserve a name," I scream. Misty kicks me in the face.  

"Ignore him. What do you want your name to be?" She asks again.

"Can I be called Lilly? They're my favorite flowers." The omega has the nerve to smile. I can't wait to wipe that smile from her face.

"It's nice to meet you, Lilly. Would you like to come to Platinum Moon with me when we leave? I could use an assistant. I don't want you to think of yourself as an omega anymore." When the bitch hugs Misty, I've had it. I get on my knees again and try to use my alpha voice on them.

"I demand you let me go. I'm the alpha of Golden Moon, and you all will be punished for insubordination." No one reacts to my voice. What the fuck is going on?

"You're right; it's time for this to end." Misty looks at someone behind me, and one of the warriors suddenly pulls me to my feet. As Misty speaks to the pack, he ties me to a tree with silver-lined ropes.  

"We're going to let you decide how this worthless piece of shit should be killed. He has hurt you all long enough." The omega moves from Misty and picks up a rock. She throws it at me, hitting me in the face.

Other pack members join her as she picks up another. I scream at them as they begin throwing the rocks harder. I can feel everything because the silver stops my werewolf abilities. An older man walks from behind the crowd, and they stop throwing rocks. I can barely make him out through the blood in my eyes.  

"He killed my daughter when she tried to tell others what he was doing to the omegas. This is what I think he deserves." The man pulls something out, but I can't see what it is. I feel a sharp, burning pain in my chest. He stabbed me with a silver blade. I scream as my wolf dies. The pack begins throwing rocks again, and the last thing I remember is the omega spitting on me before the darkness takes over.
