The Merciless Alpha(erotica)

Viper’s POV

We watched Scrape drove our wounded away, it was like a gut punch. One moment we were doing great, the next I had badly wounded men. “Can you contact Gabriel and update him,” I asked Hezediel. He nodded, then his eyes glazed over. A moment later, he looked back at me. “They are almost to the house,” he said. “He is sorry to hear of your wounded, but says you did a good job drawing them away.”

I nodded and moved off, checking with my other Club members. The adrenaline crash was coming, it always did. I encouraged them to sit down, focus on their breathing, and stay alert. We spent about twenty minutes this way, just decompressing from the excitement.

I heard a vehicle approaching, it was starting to brake as it approached the turnoff for the Pack. “We expecting anyone,” I asked Hezediel.

His eyes glazed over. “They’ve captured Vivian,” he said softly. “Gabriel says to stand aside, if we resist they will kill her.”

“FUCK!” I turned and yelled at my guys. “Take positions, stay out of sight and NO SHOOTING! They’ve got Vivian in that car!”

I ducked behind one of our cars, my pistol holstered, as the car drove by. The werewolves didn’t even look at us, they knew we wouldn’t do anything, but I could see Vivian in the back and our eyes met for a brief second. She was resigned to her fate, a fate I’d promised to protect her from, and I failed.

As the car drove out of sight, I fell to the ground and started to cry.

Vivian’s POV

Gabriel and I were looking over the Pack members, most of whom were between nervous and terrified, when I heard a child scream behind me. I tuned and a young teen girl, thin with curly brown hair and striking green eyes, ran out towards us, tears streaming down her face. She was in agony, and she ran straight to the dead Alpha Stanton. “My mate,” she sobbed as she almost fell on top of him.

It was Lisandra, Zephaneil’s 13-year old sister, who he had mated as soon as she had her first female cycle. My heart went out to her, I went to her side and put an arm around her. “It will be all right,” I whispered.

“You killed him!”

“Yes, I did.” I looked up to Gabriel for help, and by the time I noticed her hand it was too late.

“STOP,” Gabriel yelled as he jumped for us, but the silver blade had already been driven into my stomach, just below my ribs. I screamed in pain as the silver burned my flesh. He knocked her away, she attacked him next. I didn’t pay attention to the fight, he quickly killed her, but it was too late for me. I pulled the knife out, screaming as I did so, and I saw the spray of blood out the open wound. The silver would retard healing, and the wound was deep.

Michael ran to me, pulling off his shirt and pressing it over the wound. I moaned in pain as they laid me down. “Vivian…”

The shirt was already soaked, there would be no stopping this. The only person who could save me was back at the ambulance, and even that was a stretch. “It’s all right,” I said, spitting the blood out of my mouth. I was weak and cold, it wouldn’t be long. “Tell Snake I loved him and I’m sorry. He was my love and my life.”

“You’re going to be all right, Vivian, just hold on.”

I put a bloody hand to his face as Gabriel knelt at my other side. “Take care of my Eve for me. Help her grow strong, tell her about me…”

“We will protect her with our lives,” Gabriel vowed.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“I know.” I coughed, the blood spraying out. I was cold, so cold. I closed my eyes, the darkness faded into light and I heard a voice in my head. “Mother…”

I ran through the field, my wolf leaping over the grass towards my parents. I was home.

Viper’s POV

“LOAD UP,” I yelled as soon as the car carrying Vivian was out of sight. We ran to the remaining cars, turning around and heading back to the main road. “If they took Vivian…”

“We don’t know anything yet,” Shakes said, the light machine gut muzzle pointing up out of the window. “Let’s just get there.” I accelerated hard out of the turn, nearing a hundred miles an hour as we flew down the road towards them. We turned into the parking lot, there was one car there that wasn’t ours, and no ambulance.

I pulled to a halt, the other cars behind me went to the ends of the lot. Guns and flashlights in hand, we burst out and quickly realized there was nothing here for us. Some of the guys were hunched over Scrape and Stain, I could see their grief already. Hezediel ran around checking the wolves; he identified Urial and Maalik’s bodies, and told me the others were Sheridan pack. “What do we do, boss?”

I looked at Crash, he was devastated, Hezediel and Tiny were with him. “Load the wolves, including our two, into that car and have Hezediel drive it back to the Pack entrance gate and wait for direction from Gabriel,” I said. “Tiny, load Viking, Stain and Scrape into the back of one of our SUV’s, lay a tarp out in the back first. Make sure they are wrapped in a tarp and covered with blankets or something.”

“What should I do with them? They can’t be found here.”

I looked at Shakes. “We need them to die in a car fire or something. Shakes, you follow them, figure out a way to make it look like they crashed then the SUV caught on fire.”

“That sucks,” Tiny said as he looked at his buddies. “I hate having to do that to them.”

“Got a better idea?”

“I don’t know, but whatever we do, we better have the same story as the others,” Shakes said. “We need to find out where the others are.”

Hammer had a flip phone, I pulled mine out and called him. I nervously waited as it rang a few times before an answer, and it wasn’t who I expected. “Hello?”

“Meghan? It’s Viper. What’s going on?”

“I’m kind of busy, I’m driving the ambulance into Sheridan. Dad, Dagger, Snake, they’re all hurt bad.” I closed my eyes, thanking God they were still alive.

“Meghan, when they ask, say they were attacked by a bear,” I told her. “Act hysterical, don’t calm down, don’t answer other questions and don’t lead them back to the lot,” I said. “I’ll be there soon.”

“OK gotta go bye.” The call ended.

“Change of plans, we’ll keep it simple. Remove all traces of us and leave their bodies where they are. Leave their guns, all the casings around them, and leave one of the SUV’s here with the keys in Scrape’s pocket. Pick up anything else.” I looked up at the sky, it was starting to rain. “Perfect, that will help wash away evidence.” It only took us five minutes to cleanse the area, removing the evidence of the fight with supernatural beings that had just taken place here. The parking lot was open, near enough to the woods and the trees. I went into the SUV we were leaving, pulling the bag out with all the fast food wrappers from the trip, ripping it and scattering it on the ground. I grabbed the one from my vehicle and did the same near where the ambulance was.

“Good thinking, boss. We can just say the bear came after the food and they got in the way.” Crash put his hand on my shoulder. “Now what?”

“We go after our ambulance and get Meghan back. I will stay with the guys, I want you guys to park a few blocks away from the hospital. We can’t exactly explain a 13-year-old driving a fully outfitted ambulance to the hospital with three severely wounded people, so we won’t. We’ll just get her the hell out of there. I just hope she hasn’t said anything to the cops.”

We loaded up and pulled out, leaving our dead behind. It was going to be a long night.

Gabriel’s POV

I watched the life go out of Vivian’s eyes, her end came quickly, and I didn’t have a chance to properly say how I felt about her. She was the Blessed One, she cared for my men, putting herself in harm’s way to save their lives, and I couldn’t save her from a crazed teenage bride now dead beside her.

I shifted into my large wolf, sitting and raising my nose to the heavens, letting out a mournful howl. When I started the next one I was joined by my men, even most of the Sheridan wolves. They had lost a lot tonight; at least two dozen warriors, two Betas and their Alpha pair. When my grief was appeased, I shifted back to human form. “We aren’t done yet,” I said to the gathered Pack. “Luna has cursed our race with the loss of our females, as punishment for how we have forsaken Her ways and blessings. Chief among these sins against Luna is the practice of forcibly mating a female wolf. Every man who has taken a mate this way, step forward now and receive the quick execution you deserve.”

I didn’t know what to expect, I couldn’t Alpha command them, but a half-dozen men stepped forward anyway and knelt down before me. I nodded to Abaddon and Michael, they and four other men came up behind them. At my signal they grabbed their heads and twisted, breaking them instantly. Their mates screamed in loss as they died; several of them raced forward to their mates, two killed themselves. My heart broke for them, some were not even sixteen yet, and they were already widows, without hope of a true mate in their future.

I wasn’t done yet. “Are there any men here who didn’t go forward? Point them out.” The mates couldn’t do it, there wolves wouldn’t let them, but that didn’t stop family and friends from pushing them forward. Five men were dragged to me, forced to their knees. “You don’t have honor, and your death will not be quick or painless. Restrain them.” My men came forward, cuffing their hands behind their backs with silver that would prevent them from shifting. “Run,” I told them.
