**THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS A TRIGGER WARNING OF T*****E AND MENTIONS OF S****L ASSAULT! IF THIS IS SOMETHING THATYOU ARE NOT ABLE TO HANDLE OR WILL TRIGGER YOU IN ANYWAY, FEEL FREE TO SKIP TO THE NEXT CHAPTER**
**Justinâs POV**
I watched as Kataleya tortured the rogue. As he started taunting her, I not only felt, but saw as her self-control snapped. Iknew that she had a dark side to her, but I never thought that it would be like this.
Ashton looked at me and raised an eyebrow when Kataleya castrated him. âRemind me to never piss off your mate,â hewhispered. I chuckled. He had a point. She was scary when she was mad or in this case wanting revenge.
I walked closer to her as she shut her emotions away and placed a block, so I couldn't feel what she was feeling. I placed myhands on her shoulders and gently squeezed, hoping to reassure her.
When she finally killed him, she collapsed to the ground. I pulled her into my arms and just held her as she sobbed. I knewno matter what she said or the fagade that she put up that this was going to be hard on her. It gave her an outlet to trulyrelease her trauma and the pain she was feeling.
When I told her that I wanted to be in the room with her, part of the reason was because I was worried about what theywould try to do to her, but, also, I wanted to be there for her because I had a gut feeling that something like this wouldhappen to her. They broke my loving mate, before she had the chance to know what true love and compassion was. The onlything that I am grateful for is that this entire experience has allowed her to grow into the strong woman that she is today.Even though, I think had this not happened to her, then she would have still been strong. Her being raped would never beokay, no matter what way you try to make it make sense. I would never wish it on my worse enemy...
They say typically everything happens for a reason and that it is all meant to shape the person that you become. If this was.meant to happen to her, then there was something wrong with fate and the Moon Goddess. Sometimes it is hard to wrap myhead around what the Goddess has allowed her children to do. You would think that she would smite those that choosewrong...but, like my parents use to tell me, the Moon Goddess always give us the choice...we can choose to choose right orwe can choose wrong..the ultimate choice is up to us.
Instead of saying anything that I was thinking, I instead whispered, âIt is okay, my love. Let it all outâ And she did. We satthere for thirty minutes with her sobbing until her sobs eventually became quiet hiccups. Oliver rubbed her back, whileMichael, Ashton, and the ranked members cleaned the interrogation room and disposed of his body.
The king and the Alpha did not come back until the room was cleaned and the body disposed of to speak to Kataleya aboutwhat he had divulged about the first traitor.
I was shocked when he had perfectly described Anna, but I was having a hard time believing that she held that much of agrudge about Kataleya being my mate. She never seemed like the type to go batshit crazy.
As soon as Kataleya had told them who he was referring to about the first traitor, Michael had turned his glare onto me. âThisis all your fault he said.
The Alpha turned and looked at him, âOne of you explain what the hell the two of you are talking aboutâ
Michael and I looked at each other and then I glanced down at Kataleya. I knew what Michael was going to say. I knew he wasfuming about the entire situation, especially if she turned out to be the traitor. Michael and I explained everything from themoment that he had caught me fucking Anna, after the conversation we had had about Kataleya, when she had shot medown. Goddess, it feels like a lifetime ago. I could feel the hurt radiating from the bond. I tried to reassure her and calm herwith my touch, but I could tell that it was not doing much for her. She did not know that Anna and I had f****d... knew shesuspected it, but to have to hear how her brother had walked in on us, that is different...even if it was before the bond tookeffect...it does not mean that it hurts any less.
I squeezed her tightly in my arms, âYou know you are the only one for me. She meant nothing to me. She still means nothingto me, my love! I whispered to her through our bond. I leaned down and gave her a small kiss, not caring who was in theroom or watching us. My main priority was to reassure my mate.
When I pulled away, she had a small smile on her face. âI know you had a past, Justin. It is just hard hearing about you beingwith other women...that is all. I know that you are all mine now!
Once Michael was finished with the story, Kataleya looked at her father, âI want to wait to bring Anna in. I want to first findout who the other traitor is and bring them in together. First, I will use the full weight of my Alpha command to get them toanswer truthfully, and then I would like it if King Lucas could also use his command, just so we could make sure they arereally telling the truth and not finding a way to fight my command.â
The Alpha agreed to her wish when it came to do with the traitors. âAre you going to go back in for the other one?â he askedme.
She nodded her head, but deflected to me, keeping eye contact with me as she spoke. âIf it is alright, I will be in the room,but I think I will leave the second to Justin, if that is alright.â
The Alpha nodded his head. âOf course, I would do that for you, babe.â I whispered into her hair.
âWould you like for us to have Ashton shield you or for him to be in the room with you?â the King asked her.
âHe doesn't have to shield me, but I would appreciate it if maybe he could be in there just in case, we need help or he getstoo rowdy..the one we are about to deal with was the more violent one of the three. He is the oldest and his name is Tristan.He liked to indulge in the more...rougher forms of t*****e and he was the most abusive when I was in their care..
I stiffened as she finished talking about the oldest triplet. This was going to be fun. Well, fun for me. Hell for him. No oneputs their hands on my mate and gets away with it, especially ones that enjoyed torturing my baby. She deserved better..shedeserves her revenge...nim, on the other hand, he deserves pain. A bunch of fucking pain, which I plan to deliver.
Christmas came early this year and I am Santa. I don't think he is going to enjoy his gift from Santa.
âHow did I get paired with the crazy human? Ares joked.
âshirht You know you were thinking the same thing too..you are more sadistic than I am! I argued back.
Ares just shrugged his shoulders. My wolf thinks he is F*****g hilarious.
The Alpha had the second rogue placed in a different interrogation room, but they had moved the weapons and variousdevices into this room, including her special knife.
We walked over to the next interrogation room and I stopped outside of the room, grabbing Kataleya's hand.
âNo one will think differently of you if you decided to stay out of the room...you can watch from here if that makes you morecomfortable!
She glanced up at my face and turned to face me, wrapping her arms around me. âI love that you care about me and areconstantly checking in with me to make sure that I am okay... will be fine love. I want to be in there with you!
I kissed the top of her forehead and then nodded my head, I opened the door and the first thing I saw was the rogue already chained to the wall. I guess they decided to go ahead andmake it easier on us this time. We walked in the room and I could feel Ashton's presence as he glided in behind us.
The rogue smirked at me, before noticing that Kataleya was next to me. âHow dare you bring another man with you to see heme?!â he screamed at her. I was in front of him in a flash, my hand wrapped around his throat, squeezing the life out of him.âLet's get one thing clear. You do not get to talk to my mate. You talk to her, you look at her the wrong way, you have indecentthoughts about her and you WILL deal with meâ I took a step away from him, releasing his neck. âNow, I have somequestions. You either answer the questions, or don't. I don't care. Just know, the more of my questions that go unanswered,the more violent and painful your death will be. I would tell you that you could ask your brother..what was his name again...Tyler...no that was the other brother..maybe it was Triton? Nah, that wasn't it. Oh yeah, now I remember...Titan. Anyway, Iwould tell you to ask him, but he has already met his end and I must say that it was pretty gruesome.â
He screamed his rage, âYou fucking bitch! What the fuck did you do to my brother?! You fucking whore, just wait until I am outof here! You will become my bitâ" I didn't let him finish his sentence as I picked up one of the carving knives on the tableand jabbed it into his side, twisting it once I stabbed him. His scream of pain fueled me, fueled the anger that was burningthrough my veins.
I enunciated my next words to him carefully, just in case he was too fucking stupid to understand what I was saying. âYouWill. Not. Speak. To. My. Mate. Like. That. Ever. Again. If you want to address someone, you will only address me!â
He was silent after that, sending glares my way.
âNow that we are on the same page, your little brother was able to tell us who the first traitor was before he was killed, now Ineed to know the second traitor. Who is it? Who betrayed their pack to help the likes of scum like you?â
