White Hot Rage #5
Trevor laughed, “No, I don’t need a spell for that. You’ll give in eventually because you’re not leaving here until you do. I need to make sure my artwork can’t be seen by the Alpha or Beta. Also, I want to remove the duct tape, and I don’t want your future whippings to interfere with my words.”
I snarled, “WORDS?! DID HE SAY WORDS?!” Phil said, “God help us all he did.” The Warlock answered, “I can do that. Remove the duct tape.” Melanie was sobbing in pain and cried out, “Jase… Jase please… help me!”
Trevor snorted, “Your brother hates you! Your old pack asked for this. Your brother, the man you called Grandpa who isn’t, AND the Alpha ASKED for this. You remember your old Alpha, right? The man you thought of as family asked for this.” Peter roared in rage.
Melanie sobbed harder, “No... Alpha… Kyle….and why he insists I call him that makes no sense… he goes by Alpha Peter…not the point….he doesn’t hurt his pack members like this. That isn’t what he meant! I’m not a traitor!” Jason was crying along with everyone else here.
I growled, “Corbin!” My cousin watched the other me pace for a second. Cobin offered, “We will be able to see inside there in a second. You powerful Fairies need to make sure they can’t see us. They aren’t currently looking over here, but if they weren’t so damn cocky they’d have noticed us.”
A pop sounded and I nodded to my Uncle Aiden who had arrived with Fae Warriors. He looked proudly at me, then worriedly at his me. Uncle Aiden grabbed my mom and started chanting. Melanie cried again, “Xander… please… help me.”
Pain like I’d never known hit me. Melanie had cried out for me, and I didn’t come. Trevor growled, “You need another reminder that you ARE NOT HIS!” Melanie screamed, “YES, I AM! JUST BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT ME DOESN’T MEAN I’M NOT HIS! I WILL NEVER BE YOURS!”
The barrier came down and we could see in. Trevor smirked but my eyes shot to my mate. My mom gasped, “Oh my god.” The other me declared, “MINE!” The Warlock was chanting. When he finished he told Trevor, “You can carve more words into her back. Nothing will affect them.”
My mom angrily ground out, “Aiden, tell me I can fucking fix that!” Uncle Aiden replied, “Once a Witch or Warlock reverses the spell, you can heal those wounds.” Cayden said, “Melanie has a Witch friend. She met her a few weeks after Addison and Sierra turned sixteen. Paige will do it.” Dalton growled, “Which makes her mine.”
I whispered confirmation, “Paige is Dalton’s mate.
” He stood taller. The Warlock moved and Melanie’s full back came into view.
Fury lit into me and burned in my veins.
My mate’s back was covered in whip injuries along with the words written down her back.
They said: Curse, Family Killer, Freak, Ice Queen, and Unwanted.
Trevor laughed, “Thank you, Yuri. I have found carving doesn’t look as good. I had some letters welded specifically for my final word.” He nodded over to the fire. Trevor grabbed a branding iron. I snarled, “FUCK NO!” That was before I saw his name was emblazoned on it.
Melanie tried to crawl away, but her hands were bound.
Sam sobbed, “Someone get us in there.” Uncle Logan assured her, “My family is going as fast as they can.” Trevor walked over to Melanie and callously said, “Now you’ll have a reminder that you’re mine and no one else’s, bitch.
” I watched as that piece of shit rammed the hot iron rod into her low back just above her butt and branded her.
My mate cried out in pain, and I couldn’t contain my own anymore. I went to my knees screaming seconds before this reality me did. I knew the fire filling his veins was the same as mine. My mom popped to both of us with Uncle Aiden.
My Fairy Uncle instructed, “Let go of the anger, Alexander. Feel it all. We will get in there and you will avenge your mate.” Melanie’s screams of pain were searing through my heart. The thing was, we’d save this Melanie mine lived through this without anyone coming for her. Oden howled in agony.
I let the fury consume me, yelled out, then began to fly up into the air. It didn’t seem to take long at all. I looked across at the other me. His wings were out, and they were definitely amazing. I asked, “Do my wings look like yours?” He snorted, “I can’t see mine.” Valid point.
EJ answered me, “They do.” Our wings had Oden’s eyes, one on each wing with black, white, and hints of gold. This realities Phil touched my ankle. My cousin said, “We will get them all for any part played in this.”
I told him, “Your mate is the Beta’s daughter, Sierra.
” His eyes sparkled. I knew my Beta had been waiting, like the other me, for his mate.
I spotted Gage then told him, “Abigail from Sugarloaf Mountain is yours and something tells me that my dad needs to take over that pack since my Melanie had Abigial’s dad, his Alpha, and Beta killed. ” Gage growled.
Marshall, his dad, said, “We will get to your mate, son. Caleb, Nick, Jim and I will begin putting together a plan for that pack. We will go there after we solve this situation. Because goddess above, nothing had better be going on there worse than this.”
Corbin announced, “We are seconds away from getting inside there.” Melanie was sobbing in pain which made my eyes, that were fiercely gold, blaze brighter. The other me declared, “This Trevor is mine. You can have your realities, Trevor.” Oden snorted, “He’s talking to us.” I got that.
I snarled, “Agreed. I would like to punch him as we haven’t gotten a hold of ours yet. FUCK! I have more to tell you. There is a plot to kidnap Elise. Toby has the name of a Coven that’s watching her. The goal is to kidnap Angela.”
Dad said, “They will never get your sister.” I admitted, “Angela was briefly tricked and kidnapped until Melanie found her. Well, both Elise and Angela actually. We came into Black Path hot and heavy to save Mel after we got Angela and Elise back.” All of this realities siblings of mine snarled.
Corbin shouted, “We are in!” Drake screamed, “MELANIE!” Melanie looked over and started crying. My mate asked, “Am I dead? Is it finally over?” Trevor tried to run along with the Warlock, Yuri. That man was dead in our reality because not I had his name.
The other me used his pushing power on them.
I went and grabbed the Warlock and knocked him unconscious with one punch to the face.
I told Corbin, “Melanie has powerful rings around her neck. We don’t know all about what they do, but don’t yank them off.
One spell is to make her puke if she goes to Red Run. ”
Corbin cringed, “I see that they are powerful with their spells. I’ll work on the brew so she can go home.” Aunt Katie approached Melanie and slowly took them off over her neck. Sam held onto Melanie. The other me walked over and began to heal her.
The whip marks went away but the words remained. Melanie looked up into his eyes before I could say anything else. Oden said, “Well, it’s a good thing Brody came prepared.” FUCK! My mate began to scream in pain.
I looked at Brody demanding, “Give her medicine!” My cousin nodded and quickly got out his kit. The other me was in shock. Brody gave Melanie a dose of medicine, but nothing changed. The other me yelled, “What is happening to her? Why didn’t that help? My healing light says there’s nothing wrong.”
I frowned saying, “The pack doctor in Switzerland gave her morphine when she was screaming and it helped her a little bit. The only thing that can unlock a suppressed wolf is looking into the eyes of their fated mate.”
Brody asked, “And you were there when the pack doctor in your reality administered morphine in Switzerland?” I snorted, “Of course I was there.” Brody replied, “I see.” He tripled the dose and Melanie calmed down.
Uncle Bjourn said, “She should be unconscious, not still whimpering.” The other me said, “Someone with Witch or Warlock blood undo that magic on her back right FUCKING NOW! MY MATE IS NONE OF THOSE DESPICABLE WORDS! SHE SURE AS FUCK IS NOT HIS!” Agreed.
Melanie startled and jumped up. She recovered much faster than mine. She looked at the other me and gasped, “You’re here! I asked for you… and you came.” She ran into his open arms. The other me said, “Of course I did. You are mine.”
Melanie smiled then frowned, “I know... but… you’re mad at me… please don’t reject me! I just got my wolf. WAIT! My wolf... that means… everything can be different! Beta Jason will let me come home….”
Jason interrupted, “Jason thought you were in New York, and being weird. I sure as shit wouldn’t have sent you here to Nashville of all places.
” He paused then said, “By the way, if anything happened to mom, dad, or T your ass would be firmly planted by my side at all times. I am also NOT the Beta, T is.” Melanie whirled around and her eyes tripled in size.
My mate whispered, “Daddy? Mom? T?” She fell to her knees sobbing, “I don’t understand.” Caine showed up yelling, “What in GOD’S name is going on here?! OH MY GOD! TREVOR, WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!” The other me snarled at Caine.
I assured him, “It’s fine. He’ll be the future Alpha here.
Caine is a good guy who is also mated with a member of Yellow Hills in our reality.
” Caine stared at us all, but his eyes landed on me since I’d spoken.
He said, “I fucking knew it! I knew that letter from her brother was bullshit! Of course you want her!”
Jason said, “I also didn’t send a letter.” Caine paled asking, “What?” I urged, “Let’s go take over this shitty pack. I need to kill someone.” My mom popped to me gently saying, “No you need to sit down. You are fading from our reality, Alexander.”
I suddenly felt exhausted. I cried, “She suffered so much here, mom.” She held my face promising, “They will all pay for that. In every goddamn reality, I promise you that. Everyone you, your dad, or I go into they pay.”
