Love
I was tackled to the ground. The rogue punched me across the face hard, and blood rushed from my mouth. I tried to fight him off, but he was stronger. I managed to get a hit on him and pushed him off. I was about to get up when he kicked my legs. I fell back. The fight didn't last long when the scarred rogue came and grabbed me, pulling me up by my hair. He pushed me against the tree.
" Stay still," he hissed, gripping my neck as he forced me to face the other rogue. I winced in pain when my back hit the tree. I heard soft footsteps approaching us. The evil witch came into my line of vision. She was seething with anger as she glared at me.
" I was going to end you quickly, but now, I'll have my fun torturing you," she snickered. She grabbed the dagger and cut me across the stomach deeply. I screamed in pain.
" Someone gag her," she ordered. I squirmed and kicked in the arms of the scarred rogue, but he held me in place. The evil bitch smiled. She gripped my face roughly, her nails digging into my skin.
She makes a clean cut from my shoulder down my elbow. I gritted my teeth in pain. It hurt... So, so much.
" You deserve this," she glared at me. I didn't. This bitch was fucking sick in the head, and if I could, I'd kill her. She gripped my throat.
" You're so sick in the head," I grunted.
She slapped me. My eye wasn't going to survive. I felt the metallic taste of blood in my mouth. I spit on her. She gasped, her brown eyes flashing green.
" Beat her before I finish her off," she ordered the other rogue. He smirked and punched me in the stomach. The scarred rogue dropped me to the ground.
" I need to take a piss," he said and left. The witch snarled at him. The other one continued to kick me over my body. He bent down and punched me hard,
" Who will think you're pretty now?" This guy had something against me. I interlocked my fingers and swung at him. He staggered back and almost lost his balance. He wasn't even strong.
He gripped my throat and lifted me.
" Enough," the evil witch commanded softly.
She approached me, but I kicked her with my legs. I hated this woman so much. She not only took my lycan from me but hurt my daughter, too. She stared at me in frustration and confusion.
" You're strong. I'll give you that," she murmured. She raised the dagger, ready to stab me. I closed my eyes.
Goddess, if I die tonight, I hope my children know I did everything to survive for them. I hope they know I love them so much. I thought.
The pain I anticipated didn't come. The man holding me tensed. I slowly opened my eyes to see what was happening. The arms holding me loosened their grip, and the rogue holding me fell to the ground. My eyes met Maleck. In his hand was the heart of the man holding me.
" Hello, Love," his deep voice greeted me. His tone was friendly.
His smile vanished as his eyes met the witch. All the color left her face.
" What's this, Damisha?" he asked, pointing at me. So her name was Damisha.
" This is for the best. Love will ruin you. I'm only trying to help you," the witch said. I could hear apprehension in her voice.
" I didn't order this," Maleck frowned as he stared at me again,
" You've ruined her face, too."
" She broke my wrist. Do you know how hard it is for me to cast spells? She deserves everything I gave her!" she spat. Maleck angled his neck. He was a little curious.
" Can you not do magic?"
" I can, just not as well. I will heal in an hour or so," Damisha said with a small smile.
" Oh, beautiful, Love," Maleck mused. He went to Damisha and held her shoulder. He got the dagger from her hands but hissed, dropping it to the ground.
" It has wolfsbane and has my magic in it," she said apologetically. I glared at the dagger. I continued watching Maleck and the Witch talk. They were arguing. My strength was leaving me as I was bleeding. I might die, and she'd live. No way could I let that bitch live while I die. Not after the suffering she's caused my family and me.
My daughter's face appeared in my head. With the last of my strength, I picked the dagger from the ground. I ignored the burning sensation in my hand and lunged at her. I didn't hesitate to stab her. I didn't care which part of her body I pierced. I raised my hand and brought it down, digging the blade into her flesh. Blood gushed from her to my body. I wanted to bathe in her blood.
I removed the dagger from her chest and impaled her again. Even as she screamed and fell to the ground, I didn't stop. It looked like her magic failed her. Strength was slowly leaving her. She stopped resisting. I jabbed her in the chest one last time. Damisha's eyes were wide with terror as she took one last breath.
My body was covered with her blood. I was breathing heavily. The only thing I thought about was how satisfying that felt. I glanced at Maleck. He was watching me with stupefaction.
" I thought you wouldn't go for it. I'm impressed,"
I glared at him and said in a deadly tone, " I'm a woman. An enraged woman. Don't underestimate me," It was the last thing that left my lips before darkness engulfed me.
Maleck's pov
Love was a phenomenal woman, indeed. She was a true alpha, a strong woman. She was one of the strongest lycans I'd seen. Despite being tortured, she managed to kill the witch. She didn't flinch when she held the dagger with magic and wolfsbane. I couldn't even hold the dagger for five seconds.
The way she killed the dark witch was so satisfying to watch. I found it sexy. I even had a boner.
I closed Damisha's petrified eyes and picked Love from the ground. I headed to the packhouse.
On my way there, I met Zamas, one of the first rogues we recruited. He was more loyal to Damshi since she saved his life. He bowed to me.
" Boss," his gaze fell on the lovely woman in my arms. She was covered in Damisha's blood.
" The witch is dead. Love killed her," I informed him. He didn't show any emotion in his face.
" I gathered. The alpha's daughter is tough," he sighed.
" What the fuck happened to your face," I sneered. His face was disfigured.
" I'll have my revenge soon," he glinted evil in his eyes.
" What happened?" I asked.
As Zamas told me everything that happened, I was furious. I would have fucking killed that witch myself had she survived. How could she do that to Love, not to mention that her daughter was in the car? Now, I have the entire Grey Lycan pack after me. It was fucked up. I was taking my time with all these, but the bitch ruined it because she wanted to lead by my side.
I took Love into one of the bedrooms and laid her on the bed. I sat on the edge and stroked her hair gently. I wanted to mark her and make her my Luna, but she already had Ellis' mark on her neck. My blood boiled. Why did my cousin have the best of everything? When was it going to be my turn? I balled my fist.
" Ellis will have to die. I'll get his pack and all he loves," I growled.
I needed to speak to the vampire to plan an attack against my cousin before he found me. However, all the vampires were back in their castle. I'd go there first thing in the morning.
