The Alpha's Saviour

Chapter 108 - Alpha

Jaycees POV:

"Bring Chris to me." My father says to a guard. He nods before disappearing. He arrives a short two minutes later dragging  a very weak and beaten Chris. Chris's mother gasps, tears falling from her eyes. I see her emotions flick from hurt, to heartbreak to disappointment.

She looks towards my father a silent plea in her eyes. My father nods allowing her to approach her battered and bleeding son. 

"Release his silver cuffs." My father says watching as Chris falls to the floor, his energy waning. I see a flash of guilt in my fathers eyes, no doubt this was hard for him, especially when it was Chris's father who sacrificed himself to help save my mother and I while she was dying during the war all those years ago. 

It turned out his fathers mate had died during the war, but before he found his mate, he had a one night stand with his mother Clarice. No one knew she was pregnant until months after it happened, not even Alessia foresaw it. My father made sure to look after Clarice and Chris ever since. 
Clarice falls to her sons side, wrapping her arms tightly around her son.

"Clarice." My father croaks out swallowing down the lump in his throat. "My punishments were not easily decided. I promised to protect your family-"

Clarice's hand rose slowly, a small shake to her head making my father pause. "Alpha, what my son did was inexcusable. You were correct earlier. Any other Alpha would have killed Chris for attempting to rape any pack member, let alone the Alpha's only child." She let out a sob wiping steaming tears from her eyes.

"As a mother it pains me to see my son like this, but as a mother who thought I was teaching my son respect and kindness, I too am sorry for my son's actions." I swallow feeling her sincerity as she looks my way. "I'm so sorry child I had no idea."

A silence fills the clearing as I descend the stairs approaching Calrise and Chris on the floor. She looks up at me with confusion, though her pain, embarrassment and guilt outshines her confusion. Her emotions felt like mine. She smiled realising I could feel it all. 

"You have nothing to apologise for Clarice. My parents and I do not blame you." I say before turning my attention to Chris. 
His eyes show no remorse, only blame and anger as he looks my way. His pain is there too, and it was as if he was focusing on it to flame his rage. This toxic rage soon became my own, filling me with bitterness and want for revenge though I know it's not mine it fills me all the same.

My eyes widen as my aura flashes blue in warning before a large bolt of lightning shoots out hitting Chris in the chest. He is thrown into the crowed as panicked cry's and screams breaks out. Viren appears by my side, his hands turning my head into his direction before Layla and Coal approach.

"Look at me darling, focus on me." He says letting his blue eyes shine with love. My eyes widen. He feels so much love and awe it Stubbs me erasing all the bitterness and rage that consumed me seconds before.

As my breathing slows so too does my aura. I look around seeing Chase and Mase helping Chris to his feet and Clarice looking shocked and fearful of me. She wasn't the only one either. The crowed I had thrown Chris into was so scarred it brought a tear to my eyes.

"I'm sorry I never meant to-"

"Sure you didn't!" Chris breaths out. His breathing laboured and pained.

I approach him, Viren by my side holding onto my hand. It was the comforting sparks and his reassuring emotions vibrating through our bond that helped ground me, and stopped Chris's toxic emotions from seeping into my pores.
