Killing My Alpha Mate
Chapter 46

They locked me up in a cell not believing my story of a mystery shooter and a man as weak as Aitch hurting Alpha Jaden. For hours I've been in this cage reliving those last moments when Aitch said Lory Perry and my mother had a child.

Who was this child and what the hell had happened to Aitch?

What serum did he speak of that my blood was so important?

Is it possible the crown knows something I don't about my family's bloodline?

It possibly makes sense why my mother had been kept alive and still doesn't make sense at the same time.

What the hell did this number '3' mean? I'd been staring at it for a while, flipping it, scratching the surface for a secret note, anything but it was just a letter.

I should just let it go and throw it in the trash but I have a feeling it's more than a number.

The cell is opened by a guard.

"You are allowed to leave, someone is seeking your attention" he says stepping aside so I'll walk through.

"Where's Jaden Perry?" I ask but he stays mute staring straight ahead with unblinking eyes.

I know Jaden is still alive but I am still worried he had taken a bad beating

"Take a left" the guard's stated, reminding me someone wanted to see me. I walk down the corridor taking the stairs to the main room.

The whole pack house felt dead everywhere still, everyone moved slowly like they were grieving.

"Angel" Someone I never thought I'd meet again calls. I would have been happy if not for the trouble on his face and his bloody look. "Ride, what's wrong?"

"Can we talk somewhere private"

I nod the guard peering at us suspiciously as lead him to Jaden's room.

"Oh, Angel" He pulls me in a hug clinging on to me shaking.

"What's wrong?" How the hell did he know how to replace me? Another question I wanted to ask later.

"The Badlands have been wiped off" He says in astonishment.

"What do you mean wiped off?"

Angel everyone

is dead Sal, Tyler, Pearl, Roddy, Jake, everyone the house had been burned in flames the gates sealed", Ride explains, looking at the space and recalling the dreadful moment. "It happened so fast we were under attack a battle that was planned wisely these beasts were hard to kill they were hardly much but they killed everyone,

It's a miracle I survived Angel, I was tossed out the house just in time as they lit the house and corpses on fire everyone is dead Angel everyone in it" Ride states my heart breaking as I slump to the ground.

I haven't been around long enough to build a personal relationship with any of them but it was enough to make my heart bleed.

What the hell is happening?

Why are these tragic events happening?

Ride slumps down with me

wrapping his arms around me as we sit in silence.

"I've been trying to track Aitch for a while but seems like he has disappeared abandoning us"

I sob harder in his chest.

"Aitch is dead, Ride he was murdered in front of me."

"Oh" Ride remarks sadly.

"Something bad is happening, really bad you need to see these monsters, like nothing I've ever seen, almost impossible to kill they act on impulse like they are robots on command to kill, women, men, and children they spared none their souls reflecting like the color of their dark eyes"

"Do you

have any idea who they might be?"

"Not one but Angel everything happened in a flash"

Exactly the way Aitch was opening the paper in my hand with the symbol '3'

"Where did you replace that?" Ride asks.

"In the warehouse, Aitch was killed" I say sniffling.

Struggling underneath me he pulls to me view the same paper (its dull yellow color and striped texture)

The number '2' on it.

What the hell did this mean?

"It's the same note." Ride says both have the same red digit pattern.

"The crown is back" I say quietly.

"What's the crown?" Ride asks, puzzled.

"If only I knew Ride those fuckees will be buried 6ft under" wiping my eyes I rise from the floor so does Ride.

"We need to head to the park hospital" I need to know how Jaden and Nisha are faring.

As we walk through the pack house a lot of glances bore into Ride, his tattoos and piercing making him stand out he doesn't look bothered a bit.

"Alpha Jaden, has he been admitted here?" I ask.

"Classified information" The nurse states without glancing at me.

I glare at her even though she can't see me and walk into the wards.

"Let me go" Nisha yells trying to drag herself away from the nurse's grip outside her bedroom door.

"Nisha" I call running in to hug her.

"Nisha I'm so happy you're alive" I say, holding her face, her eyes bloodshot and puffy. She had been crying. "Where's Elijah Hailey," she asks, her eyes hopeless.

I had no idea when I ran out of Nisha's room I didn't spot him.

"Hailey, why are you silently talking to me?" she says sliding down at the foot of the door to the ground.

"He's fine he's probably gone to get something" I say attempting to convince her and myself within.

Elijah wouldn't have left Nisha's side even if the building was on fire.

"Don't lie to me Hailey you're clearly lying about what happened to Elijah"

"I don't know Nisha I don't know" Scared of saying this in a public place I helped Nisha to her feet pulling her into her room.

"Hailey I can't get through to him I've been trying he isn't responding"

"The only thing I know is Elijah stepped into your room after using the restroom I spotted a man running out of your room I'm sorry Nisha"

"No no it's not your fault Hailey I thought I'll see him when I fluttered my eyes open but all I saw was this"

She hands me a piece of paper, the same one with the number '1' on it.
