The Saddest Day

The Saddest Day
Osprey (TRIGGER WARNING)
I leaned down to kiss Scarlett’s forehead before crawling carefully out of bed. I silently got dressed as I watched her sleep peacefully on our bed. My eyes narrowed to slits as I bent down to tie my shoes. I had already hunted down every single one of the motherfuckers who had hurt my mate. Except for the one that I now regarded almost like a brother. I sighed as Silver’s face floated in front of my eyes. This morning, he would die. Unlike the others’ deaths, Silver’s would not be enjoyable. He would die, knowing the pain he had caused her, but only because he begged for it. I went back to the bed to kiss her cheek before tucking her hair behind her ear.
“I love you, my beautiful mate. I’ll be back.”
She mumbled in her sleep before rolling away from me to cuddle further down into the blankets. I chuckled softly as I tucked the blanket around her before slipping out of the room. I walked down to the kitchen, where Raul, Beanie, and Elena stood by the back door, waiting for me. Beanie tossed me a bag as I walked over to them. I glanced inside, smiling sadly at the contents inside, before nodding my head to the door.
“Let’s go get this, fucker!” I said, trying to gear myself up for the morning’s activities but failing miserably.
They followed me out to the woods, where we all stripped, shifted, and picked up our individual bags. We took off toward the city, with me leading. I didn’t want my sister involved, but I had no choice. She refused to be left behind, especially after being allowed to be involved in the others’ deaths. Beanie had tried to half-heartedly convince her to stay home, but she was so much like the rest of our family that there was no winning with her. She wanted to see this through. I had us slow as we neared where Silver ran every morning.
I glanced at the track, looking for him, but he hadn’t arrived yet. I quickly shifted back and put my running clothes back on, putting the hood over my head as I jogged to the track. I began to run laps as I waited for him to show his damned face. When he finally showed up, it was still dark, and I was high on adrenaline. I ran behind him for a few laps before picking up speed to run beside him. He sighed as he slowed after glancing at me.
“Is it my time?” he asked quietly.
I nodded. “You knew this was coming.”
I hated playing this game, but it was part of his torture. I didn’t want to, but his death started with some mental torture.
He slowed even more until he was walking with me by his side. “Does she know?” He asked quietly.
“Yes.”
He sighed as he stuck his hands in his pocket. “Alright.”
I slowed to a stop with him stopping beside me. “Please don’t do this, Silver. We both forgive you. It would mean more to her if you lived for her instead of dying for her,” I begged.
He studied my face for a moment before sticking his hands in his pockets. “Lead the way, Osprey. I deserve whatever you do to me.”
“No, you don’t. You deserve more than what I’m going to do to you,” I told him as tears crept up in my eyes, accepting his choice without a fight.
“Tell her that I’m sorry, Osprey, and that I wish I could change what happened.”
“I will.”
“Thank you, Alpha Osprey.”
I led him back to the woods, where the other three waited for us. I led Silver deeper into the forest while the other three fell into place around him, making sure he didn’t have any openings to run. Not that he would have taken it. Once we got a mile into sleuth land, I turned around to face Silver as Elena kicked his knee in, making him sink to the ground. I sighed at him as I took my bag from Beanie. Raul pulled zip ties out of his bag and began to bind Silver’s ankles and wrists with them while I pulled a pipe out of my bag. I really hated that we had spent several hours the night before linking about how he was going to die while Scarlett slept roughly beside me. I forced myself to smile coldly at Silver.
“Let’s play a game, shall we? I have a few items in my bag. If you can guess what they are, you win. If you can’t, I win.”
Fuck! I hated this. I didn’t really want to torture him. He had tortured himself enough lately. Beanie tied a scarf around Silver’s eyes, so he couldn’t see anything. I carefully pulled out another pipe that had been dipped in wolfsbane. I gripped Silver’s throat tightly.
“Open your mouth.”
He opened his mouth, and I shoved the pipe down his throat. I left it there until I saw blisters starting to form around his mouth, and he howled in agony before pulling it out.
“What is it, Silver?”
He opened his mouth to speak, but all that came out were dribbles of blood. It took everything in me not to call this off. Beanie put his hand on my shoulder, squeezing it a little before backing away again.
“Cats got your tongue?” I growled.
Again, he couldn’t answer me. I pressed the pipe against his skin, making him howl in agony again. I forced an evil chuckle as I rolled it down his face. The pipe in my hand grew hot as his skin melted off of his cheeks, sticking to the metal.
“Come on, Os, don’t kill him until I get to do my part,” Elena whined, playing along, knowing that I needed her to keep this going.
Like the other members of my family, they still hated Silver. They didn’t understand mine and Scarlett's forgiveness. I growled lightly at her as I struggled to push down my sorrow enough to continue. “Fine.”
She shoved him forward, making him lay flat. Beanie removed his pants and boxers, leaving his legs and ass bare. Elena smacked his ass, earning a growl from her mate. She grinned at him as she kicked Silver over onto his back. She jerked the scarf off Silver’s face, smiling pleasantly at him. I prayed that she wasn’t always going to do things with such a dramatic flair.
“Hey, Silver. You fucked with my Alpha Sow; now I get to fuck with you.”
She reached into her bag to pull out a 6-inch tube that had a button on top of it. She held it up, deploying the button. A dozen spikes sprang out of the tube, making both Silver and I gulp. Elena smiled at him as she reached for Silver’s cock. He struggled to get away as she hummed happily, inserting the tube into his cock. He closed his eyes in anticipation of her pushing the button. She smiled up at me as my stomach turned. I should have really asked what she was going to do to him before just saying, “Whatever you want, sis.”
“Your turn!”
Raul chuckled as he, Beanie, and I all cracked our knuckles threateningly. We began to punch him repeatedly until he lay in a puddle of his own blood, with just about every bone in his body broken. He moaned softly, and I kicked him in the ribs again, loathing the crunch of his bones once more. Elena knelt by his side again while I forced Silver up by his hair. She smiled sweetly at him as she leaned close to him.
“This was too good for you!” She hissed before pushing the button on the tube that was still inserted in Silver’s cock.
The spikes came out, going straight through his skin, and I flinched. I hated this. It was too much for the person he had become. Had it been done months ago, I would have been okay with it. Now, I didn’t even want to watch, but Scarlett had made me promise to honor his wishes, and he wanted to die in pain. As drops of blood rolled down his cock, Elena released the button, shifting the tube inside his cock, and deployed the button again as he struggled to scream. She ran her claws down his chest.
“How does it feel knowing that for as much as you did to her, my brother was all she needed to get over it?” She taunted.
Alright, she was too good at this. I let him go, and he fell back onto the ground. I kicked him in the head in an attempt to knock him unconscious while my sister continued to destroy his cock. After a few minutes, there was almost nothing left that could be described as a penis. Beanie tugged Elena up.
“I think you accomplished your goal, baby.”
“Not yet.”
She sliced through the zip ties around his ankles before kicking his legs apart. She brought her leg back and slammed her foot into his balls repeatedly until he was finally unconscious. I settled on the ground with my back pressed against a tree and my arm on my knee.
“I guess all we have to do is wait for him to die,” I said defeatedly.
Beanie sat down before tugging Elena down into his lap, while Raul simply leaned against a tree. I kept my eyes on Silver as he continued to stubbornly cling to life. I took a deep breath to curb my desire to just crush his throat under my foot, like Godric was urging me to do. Scarlett hadn’t wanted his death to be like this, but Silver did.
Silver no longer deserved to suffer like the love of my life had been forced to. When his heart finally stopped and he took his last breath, I carefully removed his heart. Scarlett had asked for his, saying that he would have wanted her to eat it. The others waited for me to put Silver’s heart in the container I had brought before shifting to eat his body. I gave them a small nod before reaching down to dip my fingers into Silver’s blood before wiping it over my face as I sent a prayer up to the Goddess to welcome him into her kingdom. I let Godric take over and take me back to the house. When he shifted back outside our house, I quickly pulled shorts over my hips and grabbed the bag that held Silver’s heart before strolling inside. The rest of my parents eyed me over mugs of coffee and tea.
“Is it done?”
“Yeah.”
“Good.”
I gave them a short nod as I left the kitchen to jog up to my room. I quickly showered before going back to my bed, where Scarlett still lay asleep. I slid back under the blankets and kissed her neck. She pressed back against me, making my cock immediately harden. She slowly circled her hips as her breathing changed, telling me that she was awake.
“Where’d you go?”
“To see Silver,” I responded softly.
She rolled over to search my face. “I-is he gone?”
I pulled her close, tucking her face into my neck. “Yes, baby. I brought you his heart, like you asked.” I rubbed her back, sliding my hand up and down her spine. “I’m sorry, baby.”
“Don’t be. It’s what he wanted. What he thought he deserved. Thank you. I’m going to miss him.”
I closed my eyes to hide my tears as she snuggled into me even more. Every day I got to hold her, it was better than the day before. I couldn’t believe how lucky I had gotten to be mated to my dream girl and my best friend, but I was. I kissed her forehead.
“So am I. I love you, Letti.”
She kissed my jaw. “I love you, too, ‘Sprey.”
