Second Thoughts After Divorce

Ashton’s POV

I sit in my office chair twiddling my thumbs as I wait for my most anticipated moment to play out dealing with Jacob.

Alph

He’s awake.’ I hear one of my men call to me through mind link as I nod slowly to myself in thought.

Bring him up to my office but don’t let him see Rose – let him have a talk with me, Alpha to Alpha,” I respond, knowing that my words about us talking civilly held no real weight to them.

Knowing that he was on his way here now made me itchy–longing for revenge and unsettled on what punishment method suited him best.

His crimes were unforgivable, helping me with the investigation of Derrick for all of these months when he knew all along where those children were being held,

I was irritated with myself for not suspecting anything sooner, having the hood pulled completely over my eyes by him especially!

I would go as far to say that he was involved in taking the children too, with many of the disappearances coming from his own damn region! All this time, he’s just been diverting us whenever we even considered going down South to look for them – he was the definition of a snake in the grass.

Fucking bitch that he is!

I wait around for what feels like ten minutes, sifting through some of the work splayed across my desk that I still had to catch up on after everything…. when the anticipated knock is heard hammering down on my door.

“Come in!” I yell, only for the first guard to push the door open–dragging Jacob in behind him with another two of my men on each arm.

Jacob’s face is bloody and heavily swollen, since I had gave my cell guards the brutal instruction to give him a warm welcome in to our pack: showing him no mercy.

I told

them–‘anything but death will be appropriate and by the look of him, it looked like they had done their jobs.

“Jacob.” I spit out his name like poison, showing my routed disgust for what he has done as he is shoved down in to the seat opposite me with a gruff grunt.

“This is bullshit… and you know it!” Jacob lights up instantly, furious with how things had panned out for him.

Furious only because he had been caught that ist

“Shut the fuck up! You wouldn’t be sitting in this state if you hadn’t betrayed me in the first place! Did you seriously think that siding with them would have worked out well for you?! Against me?!” I lean forward, slamming my hands on the table and not liking his tone.

He may have been a well respected Alpha, but now, all I see is a weak fucking coward sitting across from me.

“You are young Ashton, you would have joined them eventually too if it weren’t for that stupid little girl you decided to feel sorry for you just had to go and mate with our fucking sacrifice didn’t you!” Jacob yells, leaning forward as my guards instantly shove him backwards to keep his distance from

If we fight right now, I’ll wind up killing him and that would be far too kind for the crimes he has committed…

“HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT MY MATE! DID YOU EVEN KNOW THAT THEY WERE HER PARENTS?! HER OWN FUCKING BIRTH PARENTS WHO WANTED HER DEAD!” I argue, feeling my temper boil as I try my upmost hardest to suppress my woll.

“It was either her or them!” Jacob grits out under his breath, and at that, I laugh loudly and throw back my head in exaggeration.

“Yeah and look at how that turned out for you?” I continue to chuckle, taking sheer pride in the fact that I had killed his precious cult leaders without much of a fight.

“We lied as to tum We couldn’t draw attention to nur location and so we needed people to run the facts and will we were gone… there wastes fall with children excaping or fighting us back so it just made sense!” Jacob actually attempts to quantity in actions, and with that, 1 pick up a metal ametweight within an reach and throw it directly at his head.

I seem to strike a nerve with him on butt, as he thrashes violently against the guards hold once again–yelling profanities and calling me Junoster amongst other words.

How lonic

I had no real intents of burturing his name or his children, however they would be forced to relocate abroad with a warning that if they ever rettum back to this country, his mate wil heimnetze execution and will lose her children forever.

Unfortunately for him, he picked the wrong side in aill Tidbit and the comerpiences now were uncanny

I hear him yelling down the hallways, as I stand to move towards the large windows in my office waiting there for a moment before I see my guards drag him out front and in to the security van to be transported back in this coli.

Savouring the moment, I hear a sot knock behind me as I tuman my leeks and poking her head and the door, causing me to frown.

“Nope… Sawyer told me when he was gone.” She confirms, as I nod respectfully.

She didn’t have to see him, not to be reminded of what they almost did to her.

“You’re safe.” I find the words escaping without thought, as she looks in to my eyes and smiles gently. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Tucking her head in the nook of my neck, allowing for me to carry her towards our room, I felt content having her back in my arms–safe in my own pack as we both embark on our next adventure, becoming parents.
