The Alpha's Brother

CHAPTER 23: I Know What I Have To Do

RUBY

How could he think that I meant for him to kill his brother? And I think that I have every right to be upset at the fact I want to see his brother be punished for what he did.

I head up to the bedroom real quick to try and put myself together and calm down.

I don't know, maybe I overreacted. Maybe I should have said it in a different way. It's just it makes me upset to know he could get away with everything.

I'm not sure in what to think though at the same time as I can't stop but feel sick with guilt from ever saying anything like I did.

I wanted to go and meet up with Boulder but Jai stopped me and told me it would be better just to wait for him to come back and not to worry because he knows Boulder wouldn't be upset with me over what was said because he just overreacts as his first reaction to anything.

It made me feel a little better but I still felt bad and wanted to apologize.

Several hours passed and it was starting to get dark out when I noticed Boulder still wasn't home. So I decided to take a shower and get into my PJ's before making something to eat and watching a movie while waiting for him.

When I was finished getting in my PJ's and blow drying my hair, I walked out of the bathroom and bedroom to start heading downstairs when I start to hear some movement downstairs and some grunts coming from a few guys, one of them sounding like Jai.

So I continued walking downstairs more cautiously until I got to the bottom of the stairs and looked around the corner to my right and saw Jai and someone from Lecter's pack fighting with each other.

Then I feel two arms snake around my waist and grab me from behind instantly pulling me back hard and then tossing me onto the couch on my back.

I immediately start trying to fight back at whoever it is and I notice it's Lecter.

"You fucking bitch!" He shouts at me while struggling to try and hold down my wrists above my head.

"Get the hell off of me!" I yell at him.

He hits me on the side of my face really hard and then I finally get a chance to kick him with my knee in between his legs, causing him to fall over onto the floor giving me enough time to run away but he quickly catches up and grabs me by the ankles causing me to fall hard onto the floor.

"Fucking bitch! You killed my Beta!" He shouts at me before sitting on my chest and then starts choking me as he grabs me by the throat with both of his hands and I right away start feeling the air in my lungs fade away.

Then right before I get to the point of passing out, I feel his hands and the weight on my chest be lifted and then as I look up at him, I see him and Boulder fighting each other while I continue to try and catch my breath.

I back up into a corner and look around me as I see everyone fighting with each other. I want to help fight but, I don't feel I have the strength.

Then as I try standing up while holding onto the entertainment center, I turn around and suddenly I notice that the fight is over and all of Lecter's men are leaving as did Lecter it looks like and I then see Jai come limping into the room with blood on his shirt from his nose bleeding as well as from his mouth. Then I saw Boulder come walking inside and into the living room towards me.

I wasn't sure what was going to happen to be honest. He looked pissed off. But he walked right up to me and kissed me on the lips as well as embrace me into his arms.

"I'm so sorry baby." He begins to tell me several times.

"It's okay. I'm sorry too." I reply while breaking down and crying.

"It's going to be okay, I promise you." He says to me before we look at Jai.

"What did the elder say?" Jai asked him.

"We're on our own and I have to be the one to make the decision with what to do with my brother." He says.

"You know what that means right?" Jai asks him.

"Yeah." Boulder replies and then looks at me and smiles vaguely. "I do."
