Chapter 24 Death to Alpha
Draco Pov
I have to get to Angela before she does anything stupid. She probably already has done something stupid. I would be shocked if she was smart in any situation. Aspen is worried for her, his love. I can see it in his eyes. He cannot lose her to Alpha. I do not think he would recover from it. Maybe someday I will find someone I feel that way about, to share my world with, but not today.
Aspen and I arrive at the Alpha's cabin. Every light is on, and there is screaming coming from inside the cabin. The screams are the type of screams that will cause a person to have nightmares. Even the strongest of man could not forget the sounds coming from that cabin. Aspen runs full force toward the porch. "ANGELA!" Aspen screams, running and growling.
I run upon the front porch behind Aspen as he runs full speed through the front door. Tia screams as Aspen runs through the door. Angela is screaming but not in the same room as Tia. I stay with Tia, and Aspen sets off to find Angela. He follows her screams. Her screams are getting louder, but I need to make sure Tia is okay before I go upstairs to help Aspen with her.
"Are you okay? What happened?" I ask Tia.
She shakes her head. "It is not what you think, Draco. She went ballistic on Alpha. She is so strong. You should have seen her. She is tapping into all of her abilities. She will kill him tonight," Tia sobs.
"Stay here. I will be right back," I say to Tia. I start to leave her, and she jumps to her feet.
"Oh, hell no, I am coming with you. I am fucking terrified," Tia says. Tia grabs me and holds onto me.
"Come on, but stay close to me. If things go bad, I want you to run like hell, got it," I say to her.
Tia follows behind me. I hear shots ringing out from the upstairs and screams still coming from above. I do not see Aspen as we climb the stairs. When we get to the top of the stairs, we step onto a platform and look to the left. Angela has him. She has Alpha.
Angela has Alpha pinned to the floor. I walk closer to her and Alpha. She turns to look at me. "Stay back, and I am going to kill him for what he did to Deanne. I want him dead," Angela sobs.
I move at my vampire speed to get to the other side of the room. She looks up at me. "Oh, Draco, he has to pay for what he did to her and me," she cries.
I look down at Alpha. She has shot him multiple times. She has spikes driven into his arms and feet. She used the spikes to secure him to the floor firmly. He is bleeding, and I am sure in a lot of pain. Angela's pain is greater than I knew. Her pain is not only for Deanne but for herself. For everything he did to her, for everything he did to Deanne. Angela is carrying so much pain. She has hidden it so well.
"Angela, let me do this for you. Step away from this. This burden is too much for you to bear," I say to her. She shakes her head violently.
"No, I want him to pay. I want to see it, I want to feel it," Angela says. Angela begins to scream. She aims at Alpha and shoots again and again in his body. Alpha screams out in pain. Angela laughs at his pain.
"Fuck You, Alpha! How do you think we felt! I want you to suffer!" Angela screams at him.
I touch Angela's shoulder. "Stop, just kill him, let this go," I say to her. This self-destructive behavior is not good for her, me, or Tia. It has to stop. Yes, we need to end the auction, but we cannot do this to ourselves.
Tia is crying. Aspen has still not shown up. Where did he go? Angela shakes and cries but finally takes the gun and places it right on the Alpha's temple. "Goodnight, you bastard!" she screams. She pulls the trigger and then lets the gun drop to the floor.
Tia rushes to her and holds her. I fall back into the wall. The feeling that the Alpha that harmed my sister is dead gives me some small relief. His wolves are dead, he is dead, and every vampire on the property that was doing business with him is dead. Most importantly, the women are free. They can move on with their lives.
I pull myself together and look at the two of them holding one another. Deanne is gone, but I have these two to look after. I will make sure both of you have a good life. I lost my sister, but I have gained two sisters to look after for a lifetime. Tia and Angela, I will be your rock, I will be your big brother, and I will make sure you both are safe.
Tia and Angela hold one another, sobbing. I have to get them both far away from all of this. Angela first. I have a promise to fulfill for Tia. Then I will make sure she is set up and has a good life. A life away from the auction, vampires, and wolves. A life of education, love, and life.
I smile as I look at them. "Come on, and we need to find Aspen and then set this place on fire," I say to both of them.
Angela and Tia lean on each other as they get up from the floor. Anglea reaches down and grabs the gun off of the floor. "I cannot wait to lite the fucking match on this place," Angela says.
"Why don't you give me that?" I say to her.
She slides it into her jacket. "I promise to give it back to Jeb," Angela says. She smiles. Oh, there she is; she is back to herself. The three of us go down the stairs. There is no sign of Aspen.
"Where is he?" Angela asks.
We look around downstairs, and then I start back up the stairs. " He was in front of me. He has to be here," I say.
I search every inch of the upstairs. The only wolf upstairs is a dead Alpha. I hear a creek on the steps. I run as fast as I can to the girls. "Angela, Tia, there is someone in the house!" I scream.
I hear a shot ring out, and as I get to the top of the stairs, I see a wolf leaping through the air. Angela shoots at it and hits it. It falls to the ground. When the wolf hits the ground, the lights go out. I hear growling. I rush to them to get them out of the cabin.
Angela begins shooting blindly toward the growling. Bang bang bang! She keeps shooting until all of the growling stops. We make our way out of the porch. "Set this bitch on fire!" I scream.
There is still no Aspen. Angela and Tia start a fire on the front porch, and I make my way around the cabin. As I come back to the front, I see eyes running toward us. Angela turns to the eyes and shoots. The wolf drops to the ground, returning to his human form.
"ASPEN!" Angela screams. She shot Aspen.
