The Rose

chapter 25. In the Den of a Wolf

Draco's POV

—-

I knew silver would protect her, love her. If I did not make it out alive I would know that I was fighting for the right of a kingdom and for the people.

I smelt Graham, his sweat and her blood. I was furious, my vines pulsing, the feeling of hatred consuming me. I took my time, I would savor this kill.

I crept towards him his smell consuming me as I grew closer. I could hear him gloating to someone about what he had done. He was proud of what he did to my sweet love.

Her weak I love you was ponding at the back of my head. Had I done the same thing to her and not realized it, had I raped her or killed her spirit?

I shook my head, don't think like that. She was always so kind to me, she never cried like that, or yelled at me.

Had she?

I kept going when I saw him, his form was filling me with hatred. I couldn't think straight, every bone in my body was fighting against my brain to attack him. Kill him without question.

His father stood across from him and the two were conversing.

"Have you done it?" His father asked.

"Yes father, she and I have been sealed through my bite, as long as she is with child the transformation will take place soon. Much sooner then she expected actually."

"Wonderful. Now my boy do you have that leach?"

I then saw a friend, sitting beside the king of fleas. Her body trembling as he caressed her naked skin. His other hand tight around the chain leash that connected to the collar on her neck. I couldn't help but smile, she was getting what she deserved.

I knew I had to take her from this hell, a prisoner of my own is much better then a sex slave to the king. I was sick, I felt responsible for her. She was only here because I had sent her away, but she had tried to eat my baby girl.

I heard Graham speak again and it sent me into a rage I had never felt before.

"If she does not give me a son, shall I kill her or shall I give her to our pack as a toy?"

All he wanted was a son? He was going to kill her over the fact she may have a daughter? Any child of hers should be loved, any child should be loved.

"Kill the daughter, I am now learning I should have killed your estranged sister. Silver is a worthless pup, and then it is up to you. They may love you more if you give her to them, however as king that is your choice."

"Death is a quick punishment for the wrong gender," a sneer covered his face, "it will be far more entertaining for me to watch her get used." I heard him and his father laughs, I was shaking with rage. I was seething, I would not reveal myself to him yet. I was going to want to kill him slowly now.

I went back to his room, sitting on his bed and grabbed his sword off the wall. This would be well worth the wait.

I heard him coming towards the room, he was muttering under his breath. I knew better then to say anything. I watched him walk in, his back was turned towards me. I smirked holding my sword tight, my knuckles white with rage.

"I cannot wait for round tw-" he turned and his smile fell, his eyes wide in surprise. I saw him tense and he grew angry.

"What did you do!" He screamed at me. "Where is she?!"

I smirked and held the sword tight. "Safe and away from you." I growled at him as I stood stalking forward. "You will never harm her again." I shouted as I pressed him against the wall, his eyes were full of fear as he knocked the sword from my hand. I smirked as I grabbed for my knife, he was struggling under my hold, his panicked look told me I was on the right track.

I took the knife and leaned it against his bare skins, he was shaking. "Beg," I said as I leaned close to him.

"W..what...." he asked as he struggled away from me, I held him against the wall, my knife slowly making its way inside his chest. His blood smelt vile, but I continued to push the knife deeper inside him. His yelping made me grin. My fangs flashed.

"Beg and I won't kill you slowly." I said back, my voice full of anger. "You hurt, raped, and bit my girl. You are going to die, slowly or quickly. I prefer slowly, but if you beg, and I believe you, I will allow you too die quickly."

His breathing was coming out uneven. Tears were slipping from his eyes, I couldn't help but smile. "No begging I see, this will be fun." I snarled and I pushed the knife in.

His blood began to ooze out covering the floor. I was laughing, he was crying, blood caked my hands.

Getting out my anger was what I needed, I was furious after what he did to my rose. My darling.

I pushed the knife in deeper, his screams filled the room. I knew nobody would come up to check on him, they new I was here. "I hope you die slowly," I growled as I pulled the knife out, he dropped to the ground, the floor crimson with his blood.

I smirked, I was not done. I stabbed the knife into his eye, he let out a blood curdled scream, I smiled. This is exactly what I needed to do.

I turned to run, I needed to leave, I needed to get back to my darling Roselyn. I raced out, his blood still covering me.

He was dead, had to be dead.

Graham's POV

——

The pain that flared through me was beyond anything I have ever felt. I crawled towards my father, the knife in my eye was beyond agony.

My wolf was screaming to get out, whatever he did to me made my morph impossible. I cried out for help, screaming.

Two of my people came towards me, their eyes wide.

My father was out in the hall soon after. "F..ather...please...."

He was at my side within a moment. The doctors and nurses were by his side.

Everything went dark.

I woke after a day and a half, my eye was gone. An eyepatch had been hand made for me, my stab wound was sewn up. Thankfully my wolf was allowing me to be quickly.

That leach was going to pay for what he did to me, he was going to die, she was going to be mine, and I was going to take over both kingdoms.

My father came to see me after I woke. "For now you are dead." He said with a smile. "That prince thinks you dead. So you will be dead."

I sat up and let out a whine in pain, the stab wound was painful I was trying not to cry. "Father, if I am dead I cannot take over this place when you are gone."

"Son, you are not really dead. You will only be dead to them. I will send a letter to them."

"Father..."

He silenced me and my wolf obeyed, he was Alpha and my wolf obeyed even if I was an Alpha as well.

Silver would pay for helping him. Roselyn would have to get a punishment, she was with them. Even after my bite, and she had to be pregnant, had to be.

Wasn't she?
