Chapter 72 - His Heavenly Mate
GRAYSON’S POV
—
I watch as they drag Kyle out of the pack house by the chains , the guards wearing gloves as they tug him into the bright sun , his body weak as the silver chains drain all of his energy , slowly poisoning him .
Heaven - Leigh stands next to me , holding an axe in her one hand , the sharp end pushing into the ground as she leans against the wooden pole of it .
The way they drag Kyle to the edge makes my heart race , but not in a worried way , in an excited way .
I hate the fact that I ruined this man’s life , but it’s certainty not okay that he just tried to ruin mine .
As he comes closer , his hostile glare on Heaven - Leigh makes my hands itch .
“Stop looking at her like that .” I grit out , baring my teeth .
His lazy eyes drag up to mine , his bored stare flicking between my mate and I .
“She’s suppose to be dead .” He slurs .
The words alone makes me heart feel cold and I grip onto her hand tighter , squeezing it .
I want it to be reassuring for her , to let her know I’m here , but I do think it’s more for me than her .
“No , you are .” I grit out as anger brews inside of my chest .
I do not give a rats ass about who says what , Heaven - Leigh is the most precious thing about me and if someone has to die , it’s me , not her .
“Relax .” She whispers , her angelic voice soothes my itching hands that just want to rip his fucking head off his head .
“Give me the axe .” I hold my hand out and I could feel her eyes on the side of my cheek .
“I can do it ..” she tries to reassure me .
I turn my head , looking at her pastel pink orbs , smiling at her .
“I know you can , but you don’t have to do this .” I reach for the handle of the axe , taking it from her .
Relief falls upon her face as she sighs , smiling .
“Okay .” She breathes out .
“Okay .” I nod , leaning in to kiss her .
“Barf !” Kyle coughs up as he tries to speak loudly , his body wouldn’t even last four days with those chains , meaning he was already weak before doing all of this .
I do pity the man , but not enough for him to get away with almost murdering my mate .
They lay Kyle’s head on a wooden stomp , his neck pressed down by the boot of one of my warriors .
His breathing is faint , his eyes wide as his chest heaves , his lungs are probably screaming for proper air , but may the devil have mercy on him because there’s no way he’s going to heaven .
Most pack members stare at me wide eyed as I walk to where Kyle’s head is pressed down , I hold the axe in front of me , my eyes flicking over the various of members that came here .
Kids younger than thirteen are forbidden to join these kind of pack meetings , their innocence is pure and they don’t need to watch a man being slaughtered , while kids thirteen and up need to see this as they would soon be shifting and need to learn consequences about their behavior .
“We are gathered here because of the incident that occurred this morning .” The silence is thick as everyone listens to me , it’s a kind of pressure that my father have taught me since I was a child .
“This man blew up the pack house with my mate inside . He tried to kill her and now he’s suffering the consequences of trying to kill his Luna !” I bellow , a few people gasp , other’s whisper to one another .
“Silence , please .” I ask and everybody goes silent .
Damn I love it when they obey me .
“This is a lesson to all , we have laws , that will be followed .” My eyes flick down to Kyle , “Unless you want to end up like him .” I grit out , lifting the axe and without warning , I swing it , chopping his head off and it rolls forward off the stump .
The silence is too silent , you could hear the breathing of the people around and some people cringe , look away and other’s hold their children to them .
This doesn’t ever happen , so it’s something new and even if I don’t like doing it publicly , people have to know their boundaries .
A pack is like a family and when there’s no loyalty , that person dies or will be thrown out of the pack .
“This isn’t something to scare you , it’s only a mere lesson .” I tell them as the warriors start to clean up .
“And with this , we will be moving to the Argent’s pack within a few weeks . You might not know those people , but just think of them as family you haven’t met yet .” I force a smile .
“You can inform your families and loved ones to start packing , we’re going to be building new homes and if you have requests , please inform me before hand because Heaven - Leigh and I want to make you feel at home .” I smile , holding out my hand to her and she comes to stand next to me , holding my hand .
I notice the wide eyed glances she gets , but nothing and no one in this pack can make me give her up .
