Breeder (Ase Villafone Book 1) {Slow Updates}

Chapter 9: ASE

Grey reached out his hand to me and I took it slowly before he started to walk towards the pack house. Pulling on his arm I waited for him to look back at me. When he finally did with a confused look I shook my head and pointed to the cells. He stared at me surprised. 

"Are you sure Ase?" Was all he asked me before I nodded and he sighed. "I was hoping to touch this subject later but I guess if you are ready now then let us go." With that said, he turned and started us toward the cells. 

As we walked hand and hand to the cells, it became hard to breath. I was about to face my rapist. Someone I never wanted to see again, but I had to face him in order to make myself whole again. Grey was worried about me, Luke was worried about me to the point where he started to mind link me when I was a sleep. Slipping his way into my dreams like a creep.

But, I can't say that I didn't mind it. Luke just wanted to keep me updated on everything, and it was nice having those talks with him in my dreams. A small smile fell upon my face as some pups ran up to me and motioned for me to get on my knees for them. Doing so, they placed a flower crown on my head. 

"That's really sweet of you pups, she'll thank you later. For now, go home. We have some business you can't see to deal with," Grey said and pulled me back to standing. I smiled at them and they ran off as he mind-linked the entire pack to get the children inside and bring his Father out to the center of the pack where they often gathered for meetings. 

I stared at him for a moment, opening my mouth to finally speak, "I will see him where we gather for meetings?" It was a bit more than a whisper, but it still caused him to jump. Looking at me, he nodded letting go of my hand. 

"We will escort him to the center of the pack where he will speak his piece and you will do what you deem correct. It is your choice, it's what I have decided and I've already told Luke through a mind-link. So you will not be stopped," he said walking ahead to meet the two guards standing with his Father between them.

I stared at Patrick for a moment before walking over to them and smiling at the guards. I knew that the whole pack would protect me from him, but would they be able to protect him from me? Xiomara had some very, very, vivid thoughts as to what I should do to him. 

He said nothing as we walked towards where the pack had gathered. They opened up an area for us to walk to the center of the giant circle of all of our pack members that were not too young to see what was about to happen. Once we stood in the middle Luke came up to me with Eliza behind him. He grabbed me and gave me a bear hug which made me tense up before relaxing. Luke would never hurt me. Before I was even let go of, Grey started to speak. 

"We are all gathered here today, to see the punishment of the previous Alpha. Alpha Patrick. He will not have a defense at all, no one will step in. This punishment will be given to him by the one he raped, our Breeder, Ase Villafone. I as Alpha, and Luke as Beta, have already agreed upon this. Does anyone object to this?"

The crowd was quiet for a moment before they all spoke in unison, "No Alpha!"

"Then the punishment shall begin, Ase, please do what you wish."

I stared at the man that raped me with anger, he caused this pain that I felt for the past couple weeks. Xiomara wanted control but I wouldn't let her, this was done to me, not her. Walking over to him the guards released him from the chains and stepped back, he wouldn't run. Patrick wasn't that stupid.

"What a pretty little girl you were, wanted you since before you shifted and now I had you. Such a strong willed girl, all broken and used now," Patrick spoke with malice. 

My rage took over at what he was saying, stalking over to him I took one look at him and said, "I pity your mate, that she had to deal with a monster like you." Then I brought my leg up and kicked him where the sun didn't shine. He collapsed onto the ground holding his family jewels and that's when I growled and shifted into my wolf.

The shift was driven by anger and more than anything, desire to kill the man that caused so much pain in the pack. I was in my wolf form, but still in control, Xiomara must have understood what doing this meant to me. My wolf stood taller than the average female wolf, but still shorter than a male would, and my copper brown fur was normal for our pack. 

With the shift done, I attacked not caring that I had just torn clothes given to me by Eliza. I wanted this man dead, and he would die painfully. I tore at his clothes and listened to his screams of pain. 

He had been bound in human form by Grey. Being bound meant you couldn't shift to your wolf, and you couldn't even connect to them. It felt like a part of you was gone, and it technically was. As I attack him and caused him pain, Luke stepped up and made a speech that I paid no mind to. 

Getting Patrick's neck between my teeth was all I cared about. Once I finally had it, I bit down and tasted the mans blood while snapping his neck. Throwing his body to the center of everyone I sat down and shifted back to human form. 

Laying on the ground for a couple seconds before Eliza came over to see if I was alright. She helped me stand up and I stood taller than I had in the last couple weeks. "I'm alright. He's gone now and he can't cause any more pain in our pack. He shall never harm one of us again," I whispered to Eliza and she smiled.

"You are right my dear Ase, he will never cause pain in this pack again. He shall be torn apart and his body thrown into different corners of our land for the wildlife to eat, he shall never be reunited with our Mother, nor our Mother Moon," Eliza said and walked me through the circle where I was touched by most of our pack females. They were there to give me strength while the males were there to show that they would protect me until they didn't need to anymore.

I was finally whole again. I would be damned if I would stay as a breeder after this. 

No longer would our pack follow this medieval tradition. I would make sure of it.

Looking towards Grey and Luke, I pointed towards the main pack house and they nodded, they understood I would want to talk to them.
