VIXEN POV
Emptiness!!!
I have nothing.
Nothing to live for.
Nothing worth fighting for.
I have lost all my hope.
My kids.
My joy.
I lost them both on the same day.
It's all his fault.
Darrick, I gave you my everything.
My body, my heart and soul, but what did I get in return betrayal, heart break and pain.
He is going to pay for this.
He is going to pay with his life.
" I will kill you if it's last thing I do" I affirm to myself before descending from my hospital bed.
I pull off my cannula, not giving a damn what the consequences might be before putting on my dress.
I step out of the ward and start striding toward the exit with ultimate determination.
The nurses try to stop me but I pay them no attention, as I stay on my course.
When I arrive at alpha's mansion it's
already dusk so I am forced to wait till the depth of night before sneaking into the building.
I sneak off to the kitchen and grab hold of a large knife, before heading into his study.
When I get there, he is hard at work so he didn't notice me enter.
He looks so peaceful, as though he has no problems.
Too bad today is going to be his Last day on earth.
" Darrick can I have a minute?" I ask teasingly, consequently grabbing his attention
" Vixen. What are you doing here?" He ask shocked as he rises from his seat.
" Isn't it obvious, I am here to kill you" I say nonchalantly as I point the knife at him, while slowly pacing forward.
" Vixen calm down. What is wrong with you babe?" He ask scared as he strides backward before becoming abreast with the wall.
" Don't you dare call me babe, I am not your baby" I yell in tears " I gave you my everything, my love, my pride and what did I get in return. Betrayal and childlessness, you broke my trust and the penalty is death"
" Vixen you can't do this me. Think about our children, you can't render them fatherless" He beseeches with fear evident on his face.
" Oh shut up. What children are you talking about?. The ones you abandoned and left for death" I ask angrily in tears
" What are you talking about. Where is Claire and unborn sons Clark and Collins?" He ask nonplussed
" They're death" I inform acrimoniously as my heart feels like exploding
" That's impossible. They were just fine a few hours ago. What happened?" He ask as his eyes start to tear up.
" Ooh please, stop acting like you care about our children. The only reason why my babies are death is because of you. You killed them" I yell in tears
" No, no. I couldn't kill them, I love them" He cries as he goes down on his knees while covering both eyes with his palms as a sign of his misery.
" Now you will pay with your life" I inform, raising my knife to stab him but for some reason I can't bring myself to do it.
It might probably be because I still love him, or maybe I so called mating bond.
I stand there frozen in time, unable to finish the job, next thing I know a hard metal collides with the right side of my head and I fall to the floor.
My vision goes blurry and I am unable to make out my attackers face.
I can't feel my limbs, so I am unable to move an inch.
They seem to be out to end my life because next thing I feel is a sharp pain in the abdominal which I presume has been acquired from a dagger.
I can hear haphazard echoes of people agrueing from a distance.
It's seemed like Darrick agrueing with his newly found love, Sapphire.
" Why did you have to stab her?. Do you want to kill her?" I hear Darrick ask angrily
" What did you expect me to do?. She was going to kill you" my ex-best friend says in a panic
" No, she wasn't. Enough of that, let's get her to a hospital" Darrick suggests
" Are you crazy. She is practically dead. I am not going to prison for murder. You're the future alpha surely you will get out of this unscaped, but what of me?. I am just a beta" She reminds him still panicking.
" What do you intend we do then?" He ask nonplussed
" Let's bury the body" She says before my brain goes norm.
It's extremely cold and dark.
It's noisy, I can hear the wavering cries of owls, accompanied by the buzzing sound of what seems like a broken whistle.
I try to flicker my eyes open but I am quickly confronted by an ugly shade of blood red.
My eyes roam round and can see trees, apparently I am in the middle of the woods.
I am ground and my head hurts like terrible, I guess it's due to the blow I got to the head.
My abdominals equally hurt and I think it might be bleeding as well because that region feel particularly cold.
I try to moving but my body wouldn't respond, I even try speaking but the same thing happens.
Next thing I hear is a masculine voice echo from a distance, but I can't place where the voice is emanating from.
" Yes alpha, Vixen is with me.
I am already done digging her grave.
I will just bury her and head home fast.
Are you sure alpha?.
Alright, right away" The man says. and I immediately know who he is speaking to, Darrick
' I can't believe Darrick would want me dead after everything we have been through'- I think as tears escapes my eyes.
Just there some feeling returns to my limbs, I guess it's my survival instincts kicking in.
although I am still unable to rise to my feet, I turn on my stomach and start crawling my way out of inescapable dead.
I crawl for a reasonable distance before hearing the masculine voice call out my name.
" Vixen" He calls out as he comes into my view with a gun in hand.
It's Sam, our security personnel, the same man whose wife is in possession of my left kidney, and yet he dares to connive with my enemies to end me.
' This is the end for me. Atleast now I would get to be with my children in the after life. I only wish I could have gotten revenge for them '- I think as I close my eyes and my life flash through my eyes.
" God, if I have ever served you, please send me a helper" I scream in a tears, hoping for a miracle as I lay on my back.
A few seconds later, I hear he fires his shot. I wait patiently for the impact but feel nothing.
I flicker my eyes open and he is no where to be found.
I roll over back to my crawling position only to see a group of arm men striding towards me in black attires.
They all look pretty attractive to be criminals, but there are 2 individuals in particular that capture my attention immediately.
A wise looking fat old man, who appears to be in his late 60s who is half bold and a middle aged huge man with a right arm tattoo which extends to his wrist.
He is putting on a white T-shirt and seem to have no interest in being here.
His beautiful spoke volumes but there's more, I feel drawn to him for some unexplained reason.
" Are you ok, young lady?" The old man ask concerned as he walks towards me.
" Please help....." I start speaking but the handsome jerk cuts in.
" Do you even need to ask?. She's bleeding" He questions rhetorically with a sigh
" If you want to carry that woman's corpse back then make it quick. I don't have all day" He says nonchalantly
" Roman, have a heart will you" The old man beseech him, before turning back to me.
" Please help me......" I say before drifting off to slumber.

ROMAN POV
Uncle Williams and all the unnecessary stress he puts me through and for what?. Just to prove some worthless ideology of his.
Every day is another opportunity for him to spur out one worthless proverb or another.
I can't believe he pulled me all the way down here to this stupid pack (Maxin pack ) just for a stupid connection.
In his words exactly "It's the connections that matter".
Connections that we are never going to need.
Our stupid meeting took place in the wood. Can you imagine me, alpha Roman, Alpha of Alpha's, having a meeting in the woods with some lousy thugs.
How downgrading.
We were halfway through our meeting when we heard a woman scream.
Of course, uncle stupidity decides to fire his gun.
Turns out the lady wasn't too far from us. By the time we get there she is alone, on the ground all bartered.
She had 2 stab wounds to the lower abdomen and a gigantic wound on the left side of her head which extends to her left eyelid.
One of her electric blue eyes seems to have been over taken by a blood clots.
She looks miserable and pitiful but I know only too much about women to have mercy on her, for all we know she must have been the problem after all.
" Hold her carefully" Uncle says as he places the injured lady's head on my thighs when we get into the car.
" Leave me out of this, Uncle. I don't want to touch her" I inform simply.
Uncle Williams knows how I feel about dirt yet he goes ahead and do things like this just to spite me.
" Don't be like that son. Can you see I got my hand full with preventing her from bleeding to death" He says as he applies pressure on the lady's injured abdominal with a clear towel.
She is completely covered with blood, it's a miracle she is still alive.
" Use this to clean the dirt, and excess blood off her face" He says as he offers me a wet tissue
" No way. I am not a doctor, just transfer her to one of those other cars" I say disgusted by the blood mess on my lap.
" Roman for once in your life, obey my instructions without complaining" He says angrily, which comes as a shock because uncle is never the kind of person to throw a fit.
" Fine, but just this time" I grumble before taking the tissue and gently clean her face.
I start cleaning, and I just can't help but gasp at how beautiful this woman actually is, despite her ugly hairy ears.
She looks so beautiful and innocent inspite of the fact that half of her face is swollen.
She has rosy full lips.
A cute round face like that of my daughter Claire.
I find myself fixating on her face, for no exact reason.
True be told she's not my type. I like my women fat in the right places, but she's just a big blurb.
I then take out my time to gently clean her facial wound, only for her to stop me, by grabbing hold of my hand.
Her hands are rough, sanding and bloody, but for some reason I don't want her to let go, inspite of my clean complex.
' She is beautiful, isn't she?'- Drake, my lycan ask via mind link.
You know for someone who has been avoiding speaking to me for a couple of months now, just because I sleep around with other women apart from our mate.
He is certainly shameless.
What happened to wait for our actual mate.
' Wow, the saint finally spoke and his first words were complimenting another man's mate'- I say mockingly via mind link.
' Why exactly will the moon goddess curse me to share a body with an idiot like you'- He laments bitterly 'She is our mate, idiot'
' No, that's impossible my mate can't be this fat hairy ear freak'- I inform as a wave of shock and horror consumes me.
' You know I speak the truth. I know you feel the pull too'- He says simply.
