Chapter 25: Black Death

Jax's Pov)

King took my hand and guided me through the alleys. As we stopped at a dead end alley. I saw two laying figures in the shadows.

Slowly creeping towards them I knelt down. One was male and the other was female. I gulped nervously turning over the male to see Axe's face. He was badly beaten and his eyes were pitch obsidian.

His veins were like charcoal and his skin was like ivory. "Axe..." I whispered my breath caught in my throat. "Hey kid..." He whispered back barely breathing. "My god Axe...what happened?" I asked.

"It's time that you rose...up...Rouge." He seemingly saw right through me. "Axe,stop tell me what happened?" I grabbed his face looking at his black obsidian eyes.

"Victor was making deals with past relation Big B,Alpha of Vipers." He breathed slowly.

"Victor is a Trat?!" My mind was racing. "Me and Venom tried fighting them." Axe whispered his voice hoarse now his breath more labored.

"Injected us with Black Death." He coughed out as a black liquid oozed from the corners of his mouth.

I couldn't Save him....it just wouldn't be possible...black Death in this amount would destroy the body,Axe was gone.

His eyes faded into a charcoal grey,the vibrancy of the Obsidian drug I looked to the other body. I rolled over my BestFriend.

She was long dead. I felt a deep darkness swarm me. Axe was like my father...Venom was my best friend. Victor...now I understand why my Rouge was furious,it had predicted these events.

It knew...it always knows. "Jax..." King stepped forward. In a flash I drew my gun the glamour gone and I fired a burst towards her.

It had missed her completely since I only wanted to scare her. "Leave." I spat holding Venom in my arms. "Please Jax...we...we have to go..." King stuttered she saw my suffering my eyes were reddened and my nose was stuffy tears were streaming down my face.

I cocked another shot. "I won't miss this time." I threatened. King flinched. She didn't get the point the first time make it the last time.

"Okay..." King ran cold. It hurt me more to see her leave with Axel. I looked at my tattoos and I put my forehead against Venoms. I chocked on a sob. My sobs turning into screams,then roars of rage.

Kings Pov)

I sat at the Lott,it was covered in green markings,everything the Lyre's had owned was now Viper property.

I remember finding Axe. He had turned to me touched my cheek and gave me his blessing and old me no matter how hard it will be on Jax not to give up on her.

Axel sat close beside me. His eyes were dull. I could feel the burning rage from Jax. She would no doubt get revenge. The look in Axe's eyes was utter betrayal.

This was so fucked up. Why did I kiss Jax?! I knew the answer I just didn't want to accept it. The way she looked at me at the gas station two years ago.

When I first saw her the cut she made across my knuckles. I examined the cut across my knuckles.

I knew something was happening yet my wolf refused to let me tell Jax. I willingly obeyed my wolf,my other half.

I wanted to destroy and kill something just relieve my stress.
Those words. "I won't miss this time.." It was so truthful it terrified me.

Jax never said anything from the heart to me and that phrase those words,destroyed me inside.

I looked to my brother. I pulled him towards me. "Don't worry so much,but we have to go somewhere." I whisper to him.

"I've never seen that before." He sighed hollowly. I stood up with him.

"Where are we going?" Axel asked me raising an eyebrow. A look of confusion crossing his face. "Where going to The East PackHouse." I smirked.

I had taken out a black t shirt from a small box at the back of my bike puling it on and throwing the green hoodie on the ground. "We aren't Vipers anymore Axel lets go."

I say leaving the bikes behind as we ran through the streets...

I saw the PackHouse it was surrounded by bikes. I assumed that it was a mask for the GreySuits. I pulled Axel along with me as I ran around. Finding a Lycon seal on the door.

I pressed my hand onto it,making it glow the door was opened and I jumped in. Guns were loaded instantly. "DON'T SHOOT!" Yelled an unfamiliar voice.

A woman with red hair pale skin and green eyes stepped forward.
She looked Irish. "King?" She asked me. "I need to speak to you." I say quickly.

"You think we'll listen to you?" A buff Irish man snarled a semi automatic machine gun pointed at me. It had glowing blue symbols in it.

Several had bandages on their bodies. "It's about Jax,Victor,Axe and Venom." I say quick as Axel shut the door. The red head looked at me stepping forward.

"I will listen but if I even think your lying I will allow Phil to tear you to pieces no one speaks of Puppy." She growled. I nodded. Axel stood worried as the males growled,poking and prodding him.

I hated it but I conformed to their standards. The red head took me to a room/office.

She pulled out a chair taking one for herself putting the gun down carelessly. She didn't think I was a threat. She motioned with her head for me to sit.

"While Jax was looking for clues on Victor,I had found Axe and Venom. Venom was dead and Axe was barely alive. Axe spoke of Jax needing to hear what he had to say,Victor had betrayed him."
I looked down nervously.

The red heads eyes were wide in utter shock. "Axe spoke of past relations to my former Alpha,Big B
Victor fled,while unknowingly Axe and Venom fought to help his escape,Venom was beaten to death and Axe was killed by overdosing on Black Death." I finished.

"I tried to convince Jax to come with me to tell you...but she almost killed me." I choked out.
"What do you mean former Alpha?" She asked me her Irish accent thick.

"Me and my brother are outcasts,since I was the one who caused the bond I was exiled." I explained carefully trying my hardest not to seem threatening or aggressive.

"Your coming with me..my name is Isis I am Alpha of EastSide Lyres." Isis put her hand up. I took it obediently as I was led out.

Seeing Axel being made fun of. "That's enough boys!" Isis yelled. "Fredrick,Hazel,Inertia...ahh fuck it all of you were going out tonight."
Isis said in her alpha tone.

"Why?" The man named Fredrick
Asked. The two seemed to have a telepathic link. Hounds only had the link with mates and those our hounds trusted.

Fredrick eyes widened. "We have a Trat ladies and gentlemen and when Jax finds him let her fight him,she'll give us the remains." Fredrick said animalistically as the room lifted with howls and hoots of fury.

As the massive number of Lycons poured out of the hidden cellar they all shifted into half form as the night shifters shifted fully.

I looked to Axel. What have we gotten Big B in? Axel took my hand a small smile on his face.

"I'm sure she's okay." He reassured I threw his hand away.

A blush flooding my face as we started shifting into half forms. "I wasn't thinking about her." I groaned as we ran after Isis and Fredrick on search of Jax and Victor.
(Jax's Pov)

I had been creeping around the alleys following a scent. Where would the Vipers be able to get the Black Death. I know that the night shifters had brought some but they had taken it from a different clan during the day of peace.

I closed my eyes thinking hard.

Anna was a Shifter,she...also housed druggies and cooks. It was basically her business not,only was I canceled from talking to her but,the Vipers had started working with her and Black Bear.

That would be a place Victor would run. I sighed my night vision kicking in as the sun started to set. Once reaching the large 4 story apartment complex.

I cocked my shot gun. If the Shifters are cooks them they would be guarded,heavily. I slowed my breathing activating all of my senses.
