Ezra's POV :
Numb ....Feelings which no werewolf would want , like not at least one of them here we are feeling all of them at the same time .
Rejection . Not just from our mates but our wolves ,our pack , our kingdom . Everyone and everything around us , but now not only were we facing rejection , but something deadly , life taking , a mate could give to someone .
Fear.
At this point we are astonished that our wolves , mother nature and moon goddess didn't already kill us for the sins out of the world we committed , but now that I think about it killing us would be to easy , like killing our mates . If they actually died we would have died with in hours with the heart break , It is just to easy for the amount of sins we committed even adding with the amount of punishments we knew for sure we are about to receive in hell . That is why we are alive , to face the agony .
I know as a matter of fact that I have been the most brutal one amongst the others , it was just what I am , a brutal asshole . not giving a fuck to others pain, going to any extent I deem worth to the person I feel guilty , no exceptions . I am the person who takes pleasure in keeping everyone in line , with my ways, making them scared to do any crimes in my watch , which so far assured everyone's safety. or so I thought , but I have been hugely in a trance considering our lack of information the dukedom of east , which was under the surveillance of the John , that asshole had an easy fucking death , when I later found out the truth of events from Richard and James .
How dare that fucker try and touch our mates , no wonder they actually killed him , the death been quite bloody apparently .
I was so dense all this years , the dukedom is so contaminated with old bastards , with all the frustration penting up , I took down every single discriminating asshole down , though the people of dukedom were relieved but they did not forgive us .To put it in the best words , they won't start a rebellion with their newly found braveness as one could see ,( I would say a bit of savage too). And would just give enough respect that it is not disrespect .
we deserve it.
Even though too prideful to ask us, they asked us one last day to live ,one day of our mercy , one last moment with each other , so weak , so scared yet so vulnerable . those shivering lips folded fingers , delicate finger tips , petal like presence scared of holding eye contact more then 2 seconds , we were just solidified to the ground like a statue
With the feelings , that have been moving something in our body every single time , we thought that legs trembling , heart shattering and eyes moist was the worst the pain would go , but now that I feel like someone shoved a ton of glass in my lungs and veins, needles pinning every single of my nerves , metallic taste of blood filling my mouth with how hard I've been biting without even noticing , the bile rising from my throat , moist collecting my eyes , feeling death to swallow me instead I know this was not the hardest we are going to feel .
who is now going to tell them how we feel , of how sorry we feel. What could we tell that would possibly make them , understand our situation.
None of us talked , there was a silence except for them gulping the saliva which just added fuel to our burning heart while we gulped our blood , and their heart which was beating so hard that may be the guards outside would hear it , only unbeknown to them was ours increasing a beat faster every time theirs increased.
After several minutes when Jenny was about to open her mouth for another plea Hayden bet her to it , saving me another heart aching pain
"You have our soul marks " he stated , making all the girls place a hand on the place where our souls marked theirs as ours .
The look in their eyes told they wanted to defy the fact , of course why would someone want their tormentors to be their soulmates . But one look of our tormented and pained look , which they failed to notice until now , told them we knew now,. That we knew about the grave mistake we committed , how deep we were burrowed in agony , they decided against it . But their heart raced a bit more if it is possible .
Vanessa's hand clenched around Jenny's hand as Natasha cuddled into Sara . Their mannerisms making an appearance as they know who needs to yield the sword
"your point ? " Jenny started
For the first time in my 27 years of life , all my brothers looked at me with their eyes held with misery seeking for help . I knew at the moment that it was only Jenny that is going to talk through out the conversation , even though the rest of the girls will make some fair points out of grief , she will be leading it , that its a debate I'm about to lose
"you are our soulmates " I started testing the waters
"And ? " she asked , I know I was going right where she wanted me to , but not like I had a lot of options to begin with.
" we would not kill you " I said looking at her
" so we get an eternity of torture in punishment cells . " she said. Not asked instead said .
"No , you would not " I said fisting my hands , because what was about to happen was no secret to anyone in the room
"Why ? " she asked eyes so blank like she was looking at a foreign threat
" because you are my mate " I said looking right into her eyes , a long awaited tear sleeping from my eyes at the same time
"but that I was , right from the beginning and yet we were tortured . I really don't get your point " It was now that the fear slowly submerged and the realization started sinking with in the girls.
and then their heart beat raced all over again. but with a different reason.
Fury.
Just then Noah whispered something so small in the link yet we understood what he said
kneel.
And now us four brothers were kneeling in front of the bed , head held low with shame as I started talking
" we.. w-we , we w-were bewitched i-into thinking t-that you are t-the witches "
"And ? " Jenny
"A-and thought that , y-you are h-here to kill us bruh-brothers "
"so ? " Sara
"so we tortured you " Hayden said now tears freely dropping from his eyes
They looked at us , not crying, not glaring, not talking , just looked .
"so you won't try to kill us ? " Vanessa spoke
"never in million years from now , you are free " Noah said tearing up
they did not change expression not one bit
"so why are you kneeling ?" Jenny asked again
"I , I know we are not worth it , but t-to show you we need you-r forgiveness " I said my stutter never leaving me.
" you want our forgiveness? " Sara started , we all nodded as tears were falling from all of our eyes
"you have it " Vanessa said. Not stuttering, not batting an eye looking right at us .We were contemplating on what we heard , we have it?
"yes you do" jenny said , it was then I realized that I spoke it out loud
"It was the past , we cannot have our past tormenting us forever " Vanessa said.
"really ? " Noah asked still in doubt . at this point all the girls sat with their back against the bed head board
even though it was hard to trust and completely unbelievable the thought of them forgiving us made a flower of hope blossom in our heart where we now could hear the slightest whimpering purr of our wolf.
"yeah , we wanna keep moving on with life , we already have a lot on our plate with our step mother and witches as it is, we don't want to deal with your regret issues . That being said now we need get going in like three days , if you could please bare with us for a week we would get moving , as we already have a plan as where to go " And just like that the flower wilted as our wolf growled and whimpered as the reality set in. They don't want to get over the incident they want to get over us .
"you are not going anywhere "Hayden said looking directly into Sara's eyes , a tint of protective and possessive growl embedded in it , so small that normal humans cannot notice but we werewolves did
"I thought you said , we were free " Vanessa said looking dead in Noah's eyes , who held back a whimper with all his might and answered back
"from the torture , yes . from the pain , yes . from the misery , yes . from the slavery , yes ." Noah said .
This is not the time yet our wolves decide to show up now , I thought after two months of suffering in silence they would break down , cry and kill us after our mates tried to reject us , but not the possessiveness , It wont help a damn.
'guys , guys calm your wolves for fuck's sake ' Simon said the first thing today in our mind link . as we started to try and communicate with the wolves
'buddy , you need to calm down ' I said trying to calm him
" NO SHE IS NOT LEAVING' He said trying to take control instead of listening , as I turned my head to look in the eyes of my brothers , no one was doing better . Just then Vanessa spoke
"But we are not free from you " and then all of our eyes glowed red.
