Chasing My Rejected Luna -
Chapter 182
EZRA'S P.O.V
Living in the shadows allowed me to see things I never would've seen if I were actually there. I didn't realize how corrupt my Kingdom really was. I thought I had taken care of the corruption when I took care of the Elders and Kirk. But here I am witnessing things I never thought I would. Especially from people I never thought would do me wrong. I sat in my office watching my best friend actively backstabbing me. The worst part was, all I could do was watch. I couldn't hit him, or even simply confront him.
How had I not noticed his fishy behavior before? He was always there for me, through everything. And now that he has his hands on my title, by default of course, his true colors have started to shine. He was on the phone trying to figure out a way to remain being the Alpha King of Blood Moon Pack indefinitely. I thought that he was never one to care about the enrichments of titles. Over all the years I had given him so much credit when in reality, he was scum.
"I realize what I'm asking of you. Kill the future Alpha King and you'll get your payment. Actually, why not just kill the little girl and their mother while you're at it. Less trouble for me to deal with."
He was on the phone with someone, putting a hit out on my family. MY FAMILY.
He was once someone that valued. I listened to his insights and also his judgments. Even sometimes I used them when ruling because I trusted him.
However, now I want nothing more than to rip every limb from his body. One by one so that he could feel the agonizing pain. But even that wouldn't bring me the pleasure I seek, because if I did that then he would die a quick death. No, I would take my time. Cutting each part of his body deep into the muscle before moving on to another section of skin. Allowing his cut body the time to heal, only for me to do it all over again. I wanted his blood on my hands. I wanted his head on a stake for what he was trying to do. "She will be meeting with a coven of witches soon. I suggest ramming your truck into their vehicle. It would be unexpected. But beware, she has powers so don't underestimate her. It's best if you weaken her before you strike. The bitch is resilient. Once you crash into her, make sure to dust her with this specially blended herb so it will weaken her. She never goes anywhere without her kids. So let's make it fun and have her watch as you take the lives of her beloved children first. Breaking her fully before finally killing her
too."
My blood was boiling with each and every word he spoke. The fact that I couldn't end his life before the deal was made, raged me even more.
"I realize what I am asking of you. But don't fret. I will reimburse you for your car as well. What is your rate to take three royal's lifes?"
I could feel my heart pounding against my chest. How could he do such a heinous thing? Has he gone completely mad?
I heard that power can drive a man mad. I just personally never understood it. The power, fame, and money never meant a thing to me.
"I will transfer you 25% now, and the rest will be paid to you when the job is complete. I will obviously want proof of each death. They will leave tonight. So, don't let me down."
He quickly disconnected the call before opening up my laptop. I stood behind him, my fist repeatedly hitting him in the back of his head. But of course, it was like hitting the air. It never made physical contact.
"GOD DAMNIT!" I screamed so loud that the vibrations of my roar could be felt. At least by me. Uriah made no movement, which indicated that he couldn't feel what I could.
I watched as he drafted up a long email to the new elected Elders. He was working on a heartfelt spill about how an attack happened outside of the kingdom which in turn killed all of the living heirs to the throne.
A soft tap at the door had both of us jerking our heads to look.
"Enter." I bet he loved the way it felt to be superior.
"Ah, Tegan. Do what do I owe the pleasure?"
My heart picked up a pace when my beautiful mate entered the room. She was all alone with the man who was plotting to have her murdered.
"TEGAN!" I screamed, something I've done many times over the course of the last seven months. But just like each attempt in the past, she couldn't hear me.
"I was wanting to stop by before we head out. England is a ways away and I just wanted to ensure everything was under control here before leaving."
"You and I both know that I can handle the Kingdom on my own."
LIES. Without Tegan he would have failed months ago. His arrogant ass really thought that he could be the King? It's one thing to be the King's hand/Beta and help assist when needed. But it was an entirely different thing to do it yourself. Which he had not been doing because Tegan has been there every step of the way. She was the one that put a protective barrier around the Kingdom. She was the one doing all the paperwork and everything behind the scenes that brought in the income to the Kingdom. All he did was sit behind a desk and order others to do the work for him. Some King, right?
Kingston growled in response to my thoughts.
'We wouldn't be in this mess if you didn't hide those items!' I hollered at his scuffing.
'If I didn't hide those items then I would not have been protecting my Kingdom as a good King should!
I hated how right he was. I also hated that what he did was what was best for everyone. Because had he not done it, more than the lives Sibil was currently taking would've been taken. "Sad knowing you can't help her." The voice I hated with a passion said.
I jerked around to see Sibil standing there with a smirk on her face. How has she gotten even more pretty since the last time we met? What was she doing to change her appearance?
"You like? I thought it was just darling." She said as she twirled in a circle.
"Let me guess, clothes you stole from your latest victim?"
"Don't say it like that. They were gifts. It's not like they'll be needing them anymore."
"You truly have no care for the innocent lives around you, do you?"
"I care. That I'm ridding the world of them. I would hardly call them innocent though."
"I promise one day, I will kill you."
"Oh Ezzy, don't act like you hate me. I am the only person who can actually hear you. Be nice or I'll leave you all alone again."
The stupid name she had been calling me sent another wave of anger coursing through my body. But what she was saying wasn't entirely true. Somehow Elias could see me. But I would never tell her that.
Holy shit, Elias can see me! I have to talk to him. I have to somehow get a two year old to tell his mother that they are in danger.
"My latest kill was a whore."
"So that makes killing her right?" I asked while thinking about how I needed to talk to Elias
"Duh." She paused before talking again. "I see that look in your eyes. You look like you want to hit me. Go on, try it."
I only grunted in response. Because she knew that I couldn't. But fuck I wished that I could. Unfortunately, just like any other visit, she had some stupid invisible force around her. Making it to where I couldn't harm her. If I touch the force, I not only get electrocuted, but it sends me flying across the room into a wall. I learned that the hard way. "Well, you're boring. I guess I'll go watch the hit take place. At least that will be fun to witness." She said before turning to leave.
I didn't have time to think about what she said right now. I needed to get to Elias and give him some kind of warning that his toddler brain would understand. But how the hell do you tell a two year old that a hit has been placed on their lives and he needed to warn his Mommy?
