Chapter 37 - Blessed with Two Mates

(Xavier)

I have been trying hard to reach my Lycan or to link with my mate or someone from my pack, but to no avail. The wolfsbane or whatever they have been injecting me with, has made my Lycan weak. I heard a groan and I looked down to see Benny waking up. I knew his whole body was hurting. Somehow I could feel it.

“Easy, you’ve been out most of the day” I said to Benny as I helped him sit up. Markos comes closer with some water.

“It's not tainted with wolfsbane” he says lowly as he hands me the water.

“Thank you” I said, and brought the cup to Benny’s lips. Benny drinks some of the water before leaning onto me. I give the cup to Markos but he shakes his head.

“You need to drink some as well” he said. I nod and drink some of the water. I sighed, feeling the water run down my parched throat. I still left Markos some water and he drank the rest. He needed it more than we did.

“We have to find a way to get out of here” Benny said, with his eyes looking at the floor.

“I have been here for a while and so have they. We have been trying to escape for the longest, but as soon as we get the cell open and get to the door, someone is there to beat us and take us back. If you want to get out of here, you will need your Lycan”, Markos said. I knew he was right. I needed my Lycan and so did Benny, but how can we get our Lycan when we both keep getting injected with wolfsbane?

“We have to keep trying because if we don’t get out of here, Kiera is going to trade herself for us”, Benny said, turning to look at me. “What? She can’t do that. That’s what they want” Markos said with pure fear in his eyes.

“I know. But Helen made her watch as she beat me and told Kiera that if she looked away that she was going to kill me. I tried not to show how much pain I was in, but I knew she could see it. I could see that it broke and Helen was loving it. Especially when Kiera asked her what she wanted”, Benny said. I looked at Markos who was already on his feet pacing at the far end of the cell. I knew he was thinking about something, but there was one thing I wanted to know.

“You have already told me what they are planning to do, but what will they do with Kiera?” I asked Markos. He stopped his pacing and looked at me.

“If you think that what they did to you was bad, then you are wrong. What they will do to Kiera will be a hundred times worse. Once they are done torturing her, they cut off her angel wings and drink the blood before slowly cutting out her heart and eating it”, Markos said. There was no way I could let them do this to our mate. How could Helen be so evil to her own sister? Suddenly, I heard heavy footsteps. Benny and I looked at each other before looking at Markos. Markos looked around and saw the fear in everyone’s eyes and sighed.

“That’s John. Kiera’s and Helen’s grandfather and the reason for all of this” Markos said. Just then, an older man in his late sixties stopped in front of our cell. He may have been in his late sixties but he still looked solid to be that age.

“Hello Markos”, John smiled, but it was pure evil.

“I’m sure he told you the good news”, John said, gesturing toward Benny.

“He has,” Markos growled.

“I have to admit that you and my daughter taught Kiera very well. She managed to stay off the radar for a while. Hell, she managed to kill over a dozen of my ferals before disappearing again until a beautiful blonde reached out to me and told me where she was. I was shocked to know that my granddaughter was the Lycan King’s mate and that they both had added a new mate, so she had two mates” John chuckled darkly. I growled, knowing that it was Amanda who had done all of this. I promise that when we get out of here and Kiera gets her hands on Amanda, I will not intervene like last time. I will let Kiera do as she wishes.

“So where is my wife hiding?” John turned towards me. Didn’t he know his wife was dead? He had his men kill her. I arched an eyebrow and looked at him. I guess I was taking to long to answer for his liking.

“I don’t have all day. I need to prepare things for my granddaughter’s arrival”, John gritted out.

“Your wife is dead. From what Kiera told me, she died the same day they were attacked by you and your people”, I said. John looked at me seriously for a few seconds before he burst out laughing. What was he laughing about? This was his wife we are talking about.

“Impossible. When I took Markos’ body she was still alive”, he said. Wow, he's demented.

“Well, I’m sorry to tell you, but she’s dead. I have never met her and never will because of what you did. Her death, her blood is in your hands” I growled. I swear if looks could kill, I would be ten feet underground right now.

“You killed your own wife?!” Markos shouted, making Benny and I look at him. I could understand his anger. John was supposed to love and take care of his wife. Instead, he killed her, but he didn’t know it. I mean his hunters and ferals killed his wife, but he might have well done it himself. It was his orders that his people were following.

“I always said and believed she was way too good for you and I was right she was, but at least now she won’t have to deal with your evilness”, Markos said. I could see some of the other captives looking at us.

“GUARDS!!” John shouted, making the captives flinch and move to the back of their cells. About eight “guards” showed up.

“Get Markos. I need to teach him a lesson”, John said. I quickly jumped up and took a fighting stand in front of Benny and Markos. I punched the first guard right in the nose before kicking the second guard in the balls. The third guard punched me, but I returned the punch right in the front of his neck. The guard clutched his neck and began to cough. The two previous guards jumped on me and began to hit me. I could feel others joining in.

“Get off, my mate”, I heard Benny growl. I felt some of the blows lessen and I knew Benny was fighting along side with me. I saw three guards taking Markos. My distraction was enough for someone to inject me with something.

“Oh… Fuck” was all I said before everything went dark.

(John)

I could't believe it. After so many years of trying to patch things with my wife and wanting her to see things my way, I find out that she's dead. That after I took Markos's body, somehow she was killed. I refused to believe it though. Maybe they were trying to make me feel like shit because of what I have done, but I don't care. I walked towards Matilda, the dark witch who is going to help me with what I want. As soon as I get Kiera here and the blood moon reaches it's peak, I will take all the power from each person I have taken, then I will kill them. Then, I will find more who have special abilities and I will take them all and become a God. I will have every supernatural kingdom at my feet, then I will rule over the humans as well. Everyone will bow at my feet and those who don't... they will be executed.

"Soon, I will have what I want. Are you ready to rule by my side?" I asked Matilda.

"What about your wife?" Matilda asked.

"She's hiding somewhere. As soon as we find her, she will be yours to do as you wish", I said, making Matilda kiss my cheek.

"As for your question? Yes, I'm ready to rule by your side, my hunter King", Matilda said, making me smile.
