Fucking pathetic cunt, trying to use my old nickname from him to get me back on his side. I block his number, unwilling to continue this back and forth.
He was Alpha, he was King, and yet he let me be harmed in ways that are not okay.
I forgave him for that. I’d never allow the cruel cunt that sired us to tear apart my relationship with my brother. I’d never give him that satisfaction.
But losing my mate and son has changed me in ways that I can’t explain, ways that I can’t forgive my brother for letting happen underneath his nose. I’ve done things I might not be fully proud of, but they’re all to achieve a goal.
The first step is that I hunt down every person who even knew about the plan to kill my mate and son, and then I kill them in the most brutal way possible.
And then… well, I’ll join them in their eternal resting place. I’ll get to meet my son, and spend eternity with my mate, where we don’t need to worry about death and pain. We’ll just be together, and that’s all I’ve ever wanted.
Some people claim you’ve got to earn your happiness, and I fully agree. I had my happiness, but it slipped through my fingers, and, now, I’m back on this journey to earn it.
I’m doing my best to survive the demons that rage rampant in my mind, so that as soon as my mission is complete, I can die.
Death is easy, and I have every intention of taking that easy way out as soon as my particular brand of justice has been served.
That’s my goal, and I can’t wait for the day to come.

NORA
I’m not dead.
I look around the room, taking in the different expressions across my mate’s faces, the varying expressions of pain, anger, and disappointment, but struggling to bring myself to care. We’re sitting in the living room, and, honestly, I’m not really sure how we got here. The curtains are wide open, showing off the tree that I sat at not too long ago when I decided to end my life. If I were a smarter woman, I’d have chosen a different spot.
But, even still, I’m not dead.
It’s strange because I fully expected that I would be. I thought that right now I’d be lying in the grass outside, either peacefully dying in my sleep or painfully laying there as my organs shut down one by one.
And, honestly, I’d have been happy with whichever way things fell, as long as the result of death was met.
Because, yeah, sure, a painful death sucks, but it’s only fitting when life has been this painful.
It’s weird sitting here knowing that an hour ago that was the decision I set out and made for myself, but now, I’m in a weird state of limbo. I don’t know what’s happening, not really.
“You’re worrying me,” someone murmurs. The voice is soothing, the man one of my fated mates, but I can’t recognise which one of them it was that spoke.
My wolf and I have merged together after six years, and it’s weird to no longer be fighting the entity in my head.
It’s like this giant burden has just completely disappeared, and it’s weird.
My wolf whimpers, struggling I think, but I’m done fighting her. She’s taken too much of my mental energy lately, and I don’t have it in me to keep going. She’s stronger than me now. She has won.
But I’m done being the only one who fights for us. If she wants the body, she can have it. If she wants the life, she can have it. Because I really fucking don’t.
I retreat into my mind and let her take my place, even if she tries to resist. It’s safer in here, it’s warm and cosy, and it’s good having it all to myself. She’s forced out of the safe haven she created during her grief, and now she’s got to be the one to deal with the hardships of our life.
“Nora, baby girl, can you look at me?” a different voice cajoles. This one seems to lack an accent, but I know he’s definitely one of my mates. Not only do we have the start of a bond, but this one is completed on my end. I bit him.
I remember the taste of his blood on my lips.
Yes. This male is mine.
My eyes dart to meet his baby blue ones, wanting to obey our mate, wanting to please him so that he will complete the bond on his end, too.
Yes. I request bonding, knotting, and breeding. In that order.
