(Hunter's POV)
I slowly opened my eyes and took in where I am, a room, I tried to move then discovered I was tied down, I couldn't break free, am still weak, my mate, I can't feel her, is she dead. Thinking about it made tears slip away, I kept weeping till I heard the door open, I looked up and saw Silas.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, talking is even stressful, he walked closer and sat opposite me
"You know the world is changing, so I decided to change with it," He said, and it made no sense to me
"Have you heard anything from Isabelle?" I asked the most question to me, he smirked.
"Yeah, she is dead," He said it so casually like it gives him joy
"Pardon?"
"She is dead" he repeated and my world crumbled.
"How," I asked, with tears
"I have been spying on you, knowing you are invincible, we devised a plan to kill her weakening you at the process," He said, so he is a traitor.
"Why, thought you were all friends," I asked, why didn't I notice
"Actually her death saddens me, but she chose the wrong mate, and Azalk promised me power," he said with a shrug. How brutal. "You know, she never suspected anything, when she saw me, I told her that we have to go help you, she instantly believed and because you were engaged in a fight her message couldn't get through" he took a deep breath, stood up and paced the room
"As she turned her back at me, I stabbed her with what Matthew gave me, and that's when you felt it, she turned and at me, her face,.... The look was priceless when she fell" he scoffed.
"Am guessing now you feel happy," I said already feeling the darkness inside me. He gave me a smug look "how about the Royals and my people" I asked, he exhaled.
"All tied up, it was pretty easy to take them down after you fell, though it took 2 days and with Omeh weak it was hectic," he said, my eyes widened, so I was out for two days.
"What do you intend to do with the prisoners," I asked,
"What else, public execution setting example, and fear into the people," he said, they want to have a tyrannical rule. I have no strength to argue, my world is not of this world again, he left after his gloating. I wish the execution will take place immediately so I can be with her.
Not long after the door opened up again and they threw Jacob in,
"Jacob" I called, he was surprised
"You are awake," He said and came closer, "What have they done to you," he said after seeing how weak I am, I just smiled
"Am sorry," I said, I feel sorry for failing them, they had so much hope in me.
"No need Brother, you did your best," he said and slump against the wall, silence fell on us, no one knows what to say. After a while, he spoke
"Funny I didn't get my revenge" he scoffed, I looked at him, he is about to say the reason why he hates Azalk.
"What happened," I asked
"As a kid, I had a friend, she was quite the daredevil, Ivy, that was her name" he smiled "we did everything together, she was my first love, knowing that we might end up mating to another person she decided to give me her first kiss" he said and I could feel how hard it is for him.
"So one day we decided to leave the capital, and on that day the Azalk attack where we came, I lost her among the crowd, everything was a mess, even as everybody was running away, I kept looking for her, I saw her," he said and wiped his tears.
"I saw an Azalk gut her out, I was so angry I triggered my wolf and killed the guy. When I came to her side, she just smiled and said "I love you' and that was her last word" he said already sobbing, I wish I wasn't tied, I would go console him.
"I then swore to kill them all," He said.
"You already killed enough," I said and he scoffed
"I suppose so," he said, and once again we went silent. I was tied with chains, I could easily rip it off, that's if I have my strength. After a while, I fell asleep.
I jerked up when I heard a noise the door flew open and Omeh walked in, he is alright now, wearing his smirk,
"How the mighty have fallen," he said
"Have you come to gloat?" I asked still tired
"Nop, just to take you to your execution ground," He said, then his men unlocked me dragged me and Jacob with them, I could barely stand. I will soon go to meet my love.
They tied me up, both arms apart, I saw the royals and the alphas including Damien, I feel so sorry, for the frightened people that are forced to watch, I face down since I couldn't look at them.
"Here is your savior," Adam said to the people, I tuned him off and started thinking of my love, I have no idea what afterlife looks likes, but I just want to be reunited with her.
"Hunter" I heard the sweetest voice called, I raise up my head and my heart bled as I saw my mate in chains,
"You're alive," I said with hope bubbling inside me.
