15. Upon Death

Jason POV

A rematch is what I have been waiting for and now that I have him here I wanted everyone to see just how broken the great and powerful Cain truly was.

'Kill him, don't do a rematch' Lexon growled at me

"I want to end the rumors that I cheated the first time" I shouted as I stepped into the ring.

Well it was almost true.

I had hinted to a few trusted guards that Alpha Cain was going to bring ruin to the pack if he stayed, and I needed assurance that I would come out of the ring alive.

I left it up to them and it paid off well.

But the pack didn't fall at my victory, they still won't follow my lead and now I needed them all to see that I was not the one to cheat.

'If you do this you will loose'. Lexon growled in my head.

Great, not even my wolf thinks that I can take him one on one.

I know something that will break him.

Rather someone.

I smiled at myself.

Cain was just out of my reach to rip his head off here and now but rules.

So many d**n rules!

I listened to one of the members of my pack starting to go over the rules again.

"I will win and I will kill him today" I told Lexon then shouted,

"We know the rules, lets get on with it" I growled as they unchained Cain.

He was weak, not very sporty but I didn't care.

I just wanted this to be done with so that I can be the rightful Alpha of the Echo Hunter pack,.

'But I know something you don't' Lexon was now testing my nerves, I hated disobedience.

"NOT NOW LEXON!" I shouted in my head.

'You need to know…..' He started.

He was really pissing me off now.

I was getting worked up over a stupid wolf.

Still I guess any information to bring him down would help.

"Oh yeah, and what would that be?" I tried to sound intrigued

'His wolf Ryker is back!' With that he went quiet.

And I heard "FIGHT!"

"SHIT!" I yelled in my head.

I knew full well that my wolf was half the size of a born alphas wolf. If he decided to shift then I was screwed.

Cain POV

I had waited months to get right where I am now.

Well who am I kidding, years.

It was no secret that I wanted him dead.

But I wanted him to submit before I ripped his head off.

I was led to the center of the pit again, into the ring that put me and my pack into the dungeons.

That enraged me.

My pack was still in the dungeons.

I was here fighting for them, my mate, and my pup.

My pup.

I looked to my mate, she didn't look like she was pregnant.

Where was our pup?

Was it too much for her to handle out there all by herself?

Then I remembered that I was the one that pushed her away to be hunted.

Did she loose our pup because of me?

'Goddess please do not let that be true' I begged to the sky.

What did she think of me?

Was she hurt, upset, angry, did she hold a grudge, was she really pissed off at me?

I started to stretch my arms because they needed them so much.

Then I heard 'FIGHT!'

This was it.

Immediately he lunged forward .

But with Ryker back I had my heightened senses, I was quick to dodge and advance to him.

"Ryker I know you want to kill him but you have to let me do this, ok?" I asked.

'I could end him now!' Ryker growled.

'You do know that the humans that drag things out usually end up dead, right?' He snickered.

'Just let me do this Ryker!' I begged.

'Fine, be a huMAN about it' and I did sense something of a bratty wolf rolling his eyes at me.

He wasn't pleased but he allowed me to kick his a**.

At that, I started hitting Jason with everything I had.

But being chained up to a wall for over 6 months wasn't good on my body and it hurt to use the muscles that I wasn't able to use these past few months.

Every time Jason went in for a hit I dodged him and landed a kidney shot.

He caught on to that as well.

So I had to mix it up.

I dodged as much as I could without falling over.

Then jab him twice with a cross hit.

He wobbled a bit but always came back and give it his best.

But after a few punches he was getting tired, because as many times as he swung I dodged more than half making him waste all his energy.

I wanted to end the match.

The next time he got a little too close I got him in a bearhold, thats when he started shifting.

Then I heard a growl coming from the sides, I didn't see who it came from but I had a hint it was my mate.

I just didn't know if it was for me or for Jason.

Suddenly Jason stood in front of me in his wolf form.

He was snapping at me but I stood firm.

It wasn't until he tried to claw at me and that I rolled under him and kicked hard on his ribs hearing a loud crack.

He whined but still he kept attacking me.

Quickly I got to my feet and I kept hitting him on the ribs until he slowly shifted back.

His wolf was weak, and I took that as a sign to end things quickly.

So before he could get to his feet, I rounded him and placed him in a choke hold.

Just as he was slowly passing out, I felt something sharp in my side.

Pain!

I stumbled and dropped Jason from my grasp.

I turned and saw my mate standing feet away holding a bloody blade.

That was when I realized that my mate had just stabbed me.

She was trying to save Jason.

JASON!

I growled at her and by then Jason was to his feet.

He was trying to puff out what little chest he did have.

my pain was already going away but the pain from her betrayal still hung on me.

It's a good thing Jason loves to hear himself talk.

"Looks like your mate didn't like that you rejected her, she's all mine now Cain" he laughed as he pulled her close to him.

'Get up and kill him or I will, he has MY mate' Ryker was getting pissed.

But after what he did the last time I don't think he wanted to take control just yet.

"Get….yo…..your..hands…off….off…my…mate" I tried to speak but I think Andrea punctured my lung.

"You mean HER!" He grabbed her by the hair and pulled her to stand in front of me.

"LET GO OF ME!" She was screaming and trying to get out of his hold.

She hated him but she stabbed me to save him.

I really didn't get it.

"Now you get to watch me kill your mate, and then I will kill you" he was now forcing her to kneel in front of me.

I was mad that he was holding her by the hair, but the fight in her made me smile.

"I came here to help keep you alive, I f*****g hate you. I should have let him kill you. You are not worthy of my son or the alpha title.!" She was trying everything she could to get out of his hold.

My mate, our mate was still fighting.

'Shift let me kill him' Ryker was growling.

"Just wait a few more minutes" I told him.

'No he is hurting my mate, he should not have a hand' he wanted control but I had a plan.

"Now! Alpha, let me tell you a story." Jason was loving this.

"Once upon a time there was a slut she wolf" he yanked my mate harder making me growl. "That decided to have little too much to drink. She ended up sleeping with someone who would later be father to her pup. And guess what?! He doesn't give a s**t about that pup." He said making my mate cry.

"I hate you" my mate gritted through her teeth.

With that he yanked her to her feet. "And my dear wh**e of a wolf, do you want to know who you really went home with that night?!" He tried to whisper in her ear but I heard everything.

She looked at him confused until he smiled and turned to look at me.

I looked at my mate until her eyes went wide.

She finally knew it was me, I had only found out myself, but seeing my mate look at me with a frightened expression.

Started to break me again.

"No!" She looked at me and then my wound. I could hear her heart start to race, she was now scared.

"No, please. please let me save him." She pleaded with him.

But he had control and he wasn't letting her go.

"Its...ok" I said to my mate.

She looked at me with such confusion.

That she couldn't believe I just said that after she had just stabbed me.

"Its not ok. I thought that…..I thought" she tried to say.

"I know, and I understand…its ok…you didn't know" I told her.

I slowly started to stand up, trying all I can to pretend that I was still severely injured.

I was a born alpha wolf, my ability to heal was naturally faster.

So I had already healed during his ranting.

"Now I'm going to kill her in front of you then I'm going to find that bastard pup and bring him here so I can kill him in front of you too" I was pissed off.

I wanted to kill him now, but just as I was going to attack him again, my mate growled loud.

I couldn't believe what I saw her do.

Her face.

Her head.

She was turning around to face him and shifted.

She dug her teeth into the side of his neck and with one quick yank his head was detached from his body.

"WOAH!" Ryker and I said at the same time.

'Do not piss off mate!' Ryker said and I turned to look at my mate standing there in front of me.

Heavily panting, and growling at the body that laid at her paws.

"Mate"

Andrea POV

What did I just do???

I didn't want to hurt my mate but I had no choice, I needed to save my son.

So I took the spear point blade I always carry and thought of my son as I pushed it straight into his side.

Just as I pulled out the blade he dropped Jason, and then turned to me giving me a growl.

I wish I could tell him why I had to do this.

I needed to protect my son.

"Looks like your mate didn't like that you rejected her, she's all mine now Cain" Jason laughed as he pulled me to his side.

Why would he say that to my mate.

"Get….yo…..your..hands…off….off…my…mate" my mate tried to speak and I think I got him nicked in the wrong area.

Oh idiot me, he was crouched over and that puts his organs in a slightly different position.

Suddenly I felt something like fire on my head.

"You mean HER!" Jason grabbed me by my hair and pulled me in front of Cain.

"LET GO OF ME!" I was trying to get out of his hold.

I hated him.

This is what I get for helping out this a**hat.

"Now you get to watch me kill your mate, and then I will kill you" he forced me to the ground.

What was he doing?!

I didn't understand, I didn't get a chance to explain what was going to happen to his son if we both didn't survive.

I needed him to listen.

"I came here to help keep you alive, I f*****g hate you. I should have let him kill you. You are not worthy of my son or the alpha title.!" I was trying everything to get out of his hold.

Now I wanted him dead.

I know my son would be better off without knowing this a**h*** of a man.

Then he yanked my hair again.

My gosh, if he yanks my head one more time.

"Now! Alpha, let me tell you a story." I could tell he was smiling.

"Once upon a time there was a slut she wolf" then he did it again. I was going to say something but I heard a growl coming from my mate.

"That decided to have little too much to drink. She ended up sleeping with someone who would later be father to her pup. And guess what?! He doesn't give a s**t about that pup."

He didn't care.

After everything, he didn't care.

Not for me or for his pup.

This made me so mad that I began to cry, not out of pain but fury.

I was pissed off and I wanted to rip his head off.

"I hate you" I gritted through my teeth.

Then he pulled me to my feet.

"And do you want to know who it was you went home with that night?!"

he said in my ear.

Why would he say that?

He knows I went home with him.

I hated his mind games.

I wish it was never him in the first place.

He never once showed interest in me or our son, not even when I told him I was pregnant.

The only time he was interested was when I was hunted.

Wait—unless it really wasn't him and that was the reason he didn't care about me or my pup.

He knows who the father of my son is?

He smiled and turned to Cain.

Cain?!

It can't be.

I would have remembered meeting my mate.

Then it hit me.

I danced with only one other person that night.

The one who made me feel safe, the gentle touch that gave me tingles…it was my….. MATE!!!

It was Cain.

I was with Cain that night.

What have I done.

"No!"

What did I do? What did I do?

I was mad at myself.

And then I grew scared, because he was wounded, and bleeding in front of us.

I had to help him, he was the one I needed to save.

I was the one causing his death.

"No, please. please let me save him." I begged Jason, I needed him to stay alive.

I stared at him.

He can't die, please Priestess don't let him die.

I begged once again.

"Its...ok" my mate said to me.

"Its not ok. I thought that…..I thought" I couldn't even talk.

He was bleeding out and I couldn't talk right.

I was furious.

Furious at the men Priestess allowed to stay alive.

How could such men hold the greatest of powers.

I needed to save my mate, from what I caused him.

"I know, and I understand…its ok…you didn't know"

Of course I didn't know, but what I wanted to know was when did he know.

He slowly started to stand up, please don't let him fight.

"Now I'm going to kill her in front of you then I'm going to find that bastard pup and bring him here so I can kill him in front of you too"

'He is threatening our pup. Please let me kill him. He is not the one we are here to save' Siaya was more angry then I was.

"Siaya if you want to rip his head off I will allow you, he threatened us and our mate, but most of all he threatened our pup. No one threatens our pup and lives" I told her.

'You don't have to tell me twice honey'

I stepped back and allowed Siaya to fully take control.

She was seething and wanted blood, with a growl she started to shift into her wolf form and before I could blink she took hold of his neck and with one quick yank she detached his head from his body.

"Good job Siaya" I was proud she was my wolf.

'I'm just sorry it is over so quickly, maybe I should have started with his arms, or legs.' Siaya was standing there looking at a now the headless body of Jason.

"Mate"

Siaya turned her head slightly to see Cain in the corner of her eye just as she dropped Jasons head.

"Cain!" I said in her head and she quickly turned to him.

He was standing there, I didn't know if he was going to kill us or if he was pissed off enough to have us banished.

Just as Siaya wanted to shift back,he reached out and said, "still beautiful"

Siaya purred, she has been waiting a ling time for our mate to pay her a compliment.

Hearing her, he smiled.

Maybe everything will be ok after all.

Thats when I noticed a bunch of wolves surrounding us.

Siaya stood in front of our mate guarding him, but when he came to our side we saw a hint of appreciation for her.

"My beautiful mate, welcome to Blood Hunter pack." Then he turned to the wolves all around us and shouted "MEMBERS OF THE BLOOD HUNTER PACK WELCOME YOUR LUNA!"

There was an eruption of howls and cheers.

I was finally home, my son was going to be safe here.

'MICHEAL' Siaya shouted through our link.

We needed to find Micheal.

With that she turn and ran back towards the front gates we entered.

I'm sure now that his father was safe we can get Micheal back.

....At least thats what I'm hoping...
