Chapter 43
Aleksander’s POV
"You better kill me! I want to go meet my love!" He shouted at me again.
I didn't know that he loved Becca this much. I felt sad in my heart for making him turn into a ruthless person. It was all my fault. If I had let him have Becca and just reject her, he would have been fine.
Well, it's already too late. He has a demon controlling him already and I don't know how much damage he would do if I let him go. He must be punished.
"I am not planning to kill you, Chris, so you have to deal with it," I said firmly to him.
I already had what I was going to do with him in my mind before now and I'm still going to go ahead with it. He suddenly became calm giving a little confused look mixed with a frightened look.
"What are you planning to do with me?" He asked me with a shaky voice.
I'm sure that he didn't forget that I'm a deadly one who could come up with a punishment worse than death itself. This is the reason I'm feared by many. Even my father before he got himself killed, was always afraid of my anger even though he did pretend not to be.
"Are you scared?" I asked him.
"Ptff" he snorted.
" Well, I will tell you. I don't want to meet you all of a sudden. You must be prepared for your new life" I said to him with a little smile.
The smile I wear whenever I'm about to do something very bad. When I'm about to destroy something totally. I know I'm ruthless but only those who deserve my punishment will have it.
Many rumors are around about my ruthlessness but they never said that I never touch the innocent. They make me look like a tyrant but I do not care. I have a lot of enemies but they do not dare boldly cross my path.
"It is better you kill me now Alek, else I will surely hunt you down and flay you until the last drop of blood on your body flows out" he shouted with animosity.
I just don't help but wonder how someone who is at anguish mercy could still threaten me. I just smiled at him.
"That's if you have the body to do that," I said to him.
Right now Chris couldn't hide his fright, he widened his look.
"What are you going to do to me?" He shouted horrified.
" Well, I'm not planning to do much. I will only kill your wolf and remove one of your eyes and your two legs. Then cook your tongue. That's all. I think I'm being fair enough" I said to him casually, like what I just said wasn't more painful than killing him.
Chris shook his head violently. No, I won't let you do this to me. I would not let you Aleksander! You just have to kill me! Please Aleksander, you can't do this to me. Think of when we were brothers. Think of those days. You can't do this......."
His voice started harshly but then it wobbled and he started to cry. The fear in his eyes almost made me have a rethink. His words almost made me compromise but then, I couldn't do it.
Chris had destroyed many lives. I had spared him a lot thinking he would repent but he became worse. If I spare him again, he would come for my throat.
The first time I spared him was when I saw Becca's blood flowing out. I should have finished him off but I couldn't bear to kill a brother. The second and third I let him escape in the name of a brother. Ava and Nicholas had fought me about it but I used my power as their leading Alpha and an elder brother on them.
If they had said that they wouldn't help me in capturing him again when we heard he is still doing all his atrocious work and also planning to come to kill me, I would know it was my fault because they both warned me.
"You should have thought of the brotherhood and the good life we had lived together before you decided to destroy a lot of packs. Killed Many children and turn them into your rogue army. I had many times thought that you will change but then I got disappointed every time but now, there's no time for a truce" I said firmly.
" I won't let you do it. I would rather die than let you make a mockery of me!" He shouted.
I looked at Nicholas, who then went to get what I told him. In no time, he was already there with two men. Ava too came in. I didn't know when she came in.
"Why are you here?" I asked her.
Although Ava is strong, I still didn't want her to witness this. She and Chris were quite close and at some point, I noticed she fell for him. Not until he begins to misbehave.
"I brought the silver you requested," she replied.
Her face was still on Chris's. Her face was sad.
"Leave," I said to her firmly.
"I want to watch him get punished," she said with a firm voice.
Although she was glaring hard at Chris, I'm not a fool to see that she was so sad. I wouldn't be wicked to leave her to watch me destroy the life of the man that she loved.
"I won't repeat myself Ava" I growled at her in a voice I knew she wouldn't resist.
She bowed at me and gave Chris a last look.
"You wouldn't let him do this to me, Ava. You can't let him. It will hurt you" Chris shouted.
He wanted to use her against me. He knew that I might be a hard man, but then I love my family.
"You brought this to yourself, bear it," she said to him and then turned and left.
As she walked away, I could see the tears in her eyes flow down. I know I was really mean but I had to do this. I will console her later.
I signaled to the men and then they went to Chris and held him down. He struggled with them but they were stronger than he is since the silver was binding his wolf already.
I took the blended silver from Nicholas and then went to Chris.
"Open your mouth and have a drink," I said to him with a smile.
Yes, I was about to start the first thing. To kill his wolf. The bottle I held had in silver that was blended to powder and it was mixed with the wolf's bane. He looked so scared and struggled more.
"Damn you Aleksander!" He growled.
I know his wolf was also threatened to fight. He wouldn't let me do it easily. I knew he wouldn't open his mouth, so I hit his stomach hard and when he screamed in pain, I poured a large amount directly into his throat. I didn't even wait for him to recover, I poured another. That was how I did it until the bottle was emptied.
He spat the last remaining on my face but I didn't care. His eyes shined bright red as his wolf was fighting for its life.
"Give me the sword!" I shouted at anyone who could.
I didn't even know the person who handed it to me because my eyes were fixed on Chris. I know he would soon get violent and want to destroy things before his wolf finally dies.
"Leave him and move far away!" I ordered.
Right now he is like a demon and I'm the only one who could face him. Seeing how he became so wild, everyone aside from me moved back.
Chris broke through the silver chain that bound him and then raced towards me. His claws were already out and it was directed at me. I wasn't going to let it touch me because it is definitely Poisoned. Just as he was about to reach me, I dodged him and then reached for his right leg. I cut it off without a second.
"Ahhhh!" He screamed out in pain as he saw his leg fall to the ground.
He rushed at me with his one leg and just as I took off the first I took off the second. Now he was rolling on the flow in pain.
I looked at him and my heart tightened. I didn't dream that we would end up this way but this is what I have to do. I moved closer and plugged his eye out. His wolf was already dying.
I know if I don't stop his bleeding, he will die soon.
"The iron" u ordered.
Soon it was brought to me. It was a hot iron. It has been in the fire for a long time. So I placed the iron on the legs and he cried out in pain and he passed out.
This is what he got for turning himself into a monster. I watched him as they carried him away and tears flowed down my eyes. Nicholas came to me and I realized he was also crying.
"You did what you had to do," he said to me.
" Send him to the pack house. Put him at the Vits" I said before I walked away.
My heart was so heavy, I needed to cool off.
I didn't go home but raced into the woods. I was running around. I needed to have overcome my pain before going back to Elisabeth. I don't want to make her worry after all she had passed through.
Nicholas’s POV
I really pitied Alek. He is in pain even though he was punishing a criminal. If it was left to him, he wouldn't have hurt him but then people were already talking. Many said that the reason he had not captured Chris was that he is his brother. Well, they didn't tell a lie. Truly he is a brother but his actions were so brutal.
The three times Alek had spared him, he had made me follow him everywhere and tried to right every wrong but then Chris was so adamant. I had tried to reason with him.
"I know you hurt Chris but then these innocent people are not the ones who offended you. Stop killing them" I had told him when he found out that I have always been following him and he captured me.
I pleaded with him to stop but instead, he said I was a pest, he had his men wipe me with silver rods and leave me to die. Then I knew in my heart that he wasn't going to repent. Alek is just wasting his time.
Even though I couldn't bear the pain he was being given and couldn't help but to cry, I know he deserves it and more. He had also brutally killed those who went against him.
He had buried a whole family alive because they said they aren't going to follow him and fight against the Alpha King.
Well, he had gotten his end and everything is over. My men and I had captured every single rogue he had recruited. Many of them were happy to be free, while only a few just have the heart that Chris had. Those who were happy, returned to their home, and those that didn't have a home stayed at the palace. Alek will know what to do with them.
This was what I have been doing for the two weeks Elisabeth was in a coma. I didn't have a proper time to visit her. I was doing all Alek is supposed to do. Now that Chris will be sent to the pack house, u can relax.
My years of following him and ignoring my life had ended. Now I will have the good life I want. No one can Interrupt it now.
I was both happy and sad but my happiness was more than my sadness. Elisabeth didn't die. Chris had been conquered and now I can live the life of a young man. I couldn't take the event that just happened now but I know it will wear out.
I know Alek didn't allow me to hurt Chris because he didn't want me to feel guilty. Little did he know that my heart is far stronger than his. I will soon forget about everything.
Now I'm about to embrace a good life.
I breathe in and then breathe out. This is true freedom.
