Blood (Book Three of the Dark Lycans Series)

Chapter Nine: Pain

"Please don't give up J," I plead. She shakes her head and more tears fall down her face.

"I can't live like this. You know how much it hurts to lose your mate, please, I'm begging you. Kill me," she whimpers with a gut-wrenching sob.

"I love you Jinx," I say, a single tear rolling down my face.

"I love you too Raven," she replies, a broken smile on her face.

I retrieve my silver dagger from my belt, and lay her down on the floor. She locks her eyes with mine, and she nods slowly.

I place a kiss on her forehead, before plunging the dagger into her chest. She gasps as it enters her body, and her eyes flutter shut.

"Thank you," she whispers, before her heartbeat turns silent.

"Vale amice, alterum spero tua morte nubunt quam sine vita,"  I mutter in Latin before placing another kiss on each of her closed eyes.

What does that mean? Ira asks me.

Are you messing with me? At a moment like this, really? I growl.

No, I'm serious, I don't speak Latin, Ira says.

It means 'Goodbye my friend, I hope you have more happiness with your mate in death, than without in life', I tell her with a sigh.

Just kidding! Of course I know Latin, I'm a Lycan, she laughs.

You fucking bitch, its not funny! I snarl, and cut off the mindlink. I really hate my Lycan sometimes. 

I remove my dagger from Jinx's chest, and put her hands over her heart. I wipe away the tear on my cheek before stepping back through the bent bars.

I bend them back into place, and start dragging the dead guards to the farthest empty cell from the entrance.

I make it out of the prison unnoticed, as there are no longer any more guards. I scale a tree and look around.

It is dark, but I can still see very clearly. Many people are still wandering around, fear filling their eyes.

There are still many bodies littering the ground, still passed out from the gas I used this morning. Most of the bodies belong to children, as the gas affected them for longer.

They are being dragged and carried into the pack hospital. I think over today's events, and I am shocked that this pack us still functioning.

I killed the Third in Command, and the TIC's mate, who was a pack doctor, the Beta's mate, and I also got the Beta tortured to death for being my friend. Not to mention that I had knocked almost the entire pack out for several hours.

I could have killed their Alpha too, this pack should be falling apart right now. But it isn't, and it makes me angry.

I let out a low growl, and dig my clawed hands into the trunk of the tree.

Derek, how is everything at home? I mindlink my brother, needing a distraction.

Everything is good sis, have you found Shade yet?

At the moment, no. But I will wait to see if she returns to the prison cell, I tell him.

Okay, hurry back, he says and ends the link.

"Yeah right," I mutter with a heavy sigh. I find a comfortable spot in the tree, and lay down to rest.

I let my eyes close, and just use my other senses to keep a lookout.
