Red Hot Love: The Morningstar Series: Book 5
Red Hot Love – Chapter 39

One second I had Olive wrapped in my arms, and the next she was gone.

We had just had so much fun too. Ozzy finally let me stick my c**k in his a*s. It was f*****g amazing. Olive loved it. Ozzy loved it. I loved it.

And they both love me.

Olive just told me. For the first time too. My mind was finally at peace. I even felt Ezra start to surface more. Almost like he was waiting for me to pull him forward.

Then it all came crashing down around me.

I didn’t even see Ethan behind Olive until it was too late. He yanked her back just in time for the doors to close behind them. Ozzy and I started to bang on the closed doors.

“Olive! Olive!” We both shouted.

An alarm started to go off.

“What the f**k is that?” I asked.

“Someone stopped the elevator.” Ozzy said.

I tried to pry the doors apart, but they won’t budge.

“No no no no no no no no.” I said over, and over.

Ozzy is trying to help me pull the doors apart. It’s no use. I’m starting to panic.

Ozzy doubled over in pain. I put my hand on his back.

“Ozzy? What’s wrong?” I asked.

He lifted his head enough to look in my eyes. Ozzy looks pissed. His eyes are glowing a deep red, with a scowl on his face.

“Olive.. She’s hurt. Her panic.. it’s intense.” He told me.

“No..” I breathed out.

I turned back to the doors, and tried desperately to pry them open.

Ozzy made another painful sound.

“Azai.. We have to get to her. Her fear.. We have to save her. I think Ethan’s touching her.” Ozzy said.

He’s going to rape her..

That piece of s**t scum is hurting my mate.

A loud growl erupted from me. It shook the building. I felt Ezra connect with me fully again. His anger mixed with my own. Everything turned red.

A second later, and I’m looking at the back of Ethan as he pins my girl to the wall of the elevator.

“Now, let’s see how good you are in bed, shall we?” He asked amused.

Olive whimpered, and it only fueled Ezra and I more.

I grabbed Ethan’s arm, and threw him into the wall behind us. He hit it with a loud thud, and fell to the ground. I stood above him.

“Azai.” Olive breathed out.

I turned my head to look at her, and she gasped. I’m sure my full power is showing on my face. The orangey eyes, with the black veins are scary looking. I know that.

Right now, I don’t have time to care.

I turned my eyes back to Ethan. I grabbed his shirt, and slammed his back into the wall. He laughed.

“Olive really is good in bed ya know. It’s no wonder she has two mates.” He said. “You were too late Morningstar. I already had my way with your mate.” He lied.

“He’s lying Azai. He’s just trying to rile you up. You got here just in time.” Olive said.

“I know.” Ezra, and I stated together.

“Azai..” Olive said my name softly.

Ethan’s eyes went wide.

“I warned you. Over and over.” We said as I dropped Ethan to the floor.

My claws extended.

“W-wait, y-y-you can’t! You’ll g-get in trouble!” Ethan tried.

The smell of his fear only made Ezra want more b***d.

“It’s too late for that.” We said. “Now you will pay with your b***d.”

“Wait! Please!” Ethan said.

I stomped my foot on his junk, and he screamed out in pain.

“You want me to spare your life? Beg.” We ordered.

“P-p-p-please-e-e-e… D-d-don’t ki-kill m-m-m-me.” Ethan sobbed.

We chuckled darkly, and the lights in the elevator started to flicker.

“I’m not feeling very merciful today Ethan.”

The smell of urine filled the small space.

That didn’t stop me though. Nothing could at this point.

I swiped my claws across Ethan’s face. He screamed out in pain, but I didn’t stop there. I swiped, and swiped, and swiped. I landed blow after blow. Ethan’s screams filled the tiny space.

Eventually, Ethan’s screams stopped, but I did not. Ezra and I want b***d, and lots of it.

I don’t think that I have ever been this b***d thirsty. I was not satisfied until the gruesome gurggling sound stopped. I landed a few more blows before I finally fell to my knees.

My breathing is harsh. I looked behind me at my mate.

Olive is on the floor hugging her knees to her chest. She looks terrified. At least she’s safe.

I held my bloody hand out to her. Honestly, I half expected Olive to cower away from me in fear. So, when she threw herself into my b***d soaked body I was surprised.

“Thank you. Thank you so much. I… I thought.. he was gonna..” She choked on a sob.

I wrapped my arms around her.

“Shhhh. It’s alright baby.” I cooed.

I held Olive close to me, and stood us up.

Azai, what the f**k happened? Ambrose asked through the link.

I’m about to start the elevator, and have it take us to the basement. Meet me there. Bring Ozzy, and their parents. No one else. There’s too much b***d. I replied.

What the f**k do you mean too much b***d? He asked.

I pushed the button for the elevator to move. Then I pressed the button to the basement. Olive is still sobbing in my arms.

I killed him.

*********************************************

Only a few minutes later, the elevator doors opened. The first face I saw is Ozzy’s. His eyes scanned my body quickly. Then he looked at Olive in my arms.

“Olive.” Ozzy breathed out as he reached out for her.

I pushed Olive into Ozzy’s arms, and ushered them to the side. Both of their parents swarmed the two of them. I turned to my brother.

Ambrose is staring at the mess I made inside the elevator.

“Damnit Azai.” Ambrose sighed. “Did you have to make such big f*****g mess? There’s b***d everywhere.”

I looked my brother in his eyes.

“He deserved everything I did to him, and I regret nothing.” I stated.

Ambrose gave me a pained look.

“Azai, you know what this means? What you’ve just done?” He asked.

I nodded, and held my wrists out to him.

Ambrose sighed. “Azai, I have to bind your magic, and take you home for sentencing.”

Ambrose tapped my wrists, and black markings appeared binding them together. Ezra went silent once again. My magic is bound.

Honestly, this is something we could easily get out of. That’s why everyone is so scared of us. I’m just hoping that my cooperation will mean something.

“Sentencing?” Ozzy asked.

“Home?” Olive asked at the same time.

She’s covered in b***d from me holding her.

Am I really that much of a mess?

Hell, I know I f*****g am.

“I can’t just let him walk away.” Ambrose said.

“It was self defense.” Olive lied.

Ambrose raised a brow at her.

“Self defense? Look at that scene. That is not self defense.” Ambrose argued.

“He was protecting his mate.” Ozzy argued back.

“He’s a Morningstar. Others will not have your same views.” Ambrose said.

“That’s not fair. I would have killed him myself if I could teleport.” Ozzy said.

Ambrose sighed, and looked at me expectantly.

I turned to face my mates. They are so beautiful. I love them so much it hurts.

“I have to go with him. What I did is up for debate now. There will be a trial with the rulers of the supernaturals.” I told them.

“What? When?” Olive asked.

“It’s going to happen right away. They are already there discussing the Gierman’s. If I take Azai there now, he can be back sooner.” Ambrose said.

“If he comes back at all.” Olive said sounding hopeless.

“This is bullshit!” Ozzy declared.

“The two of you need to calm down now.” Charolette said, then she looked at Ambrose. “You said all the leaders? I’m a leader. I wish to attend this trail.” She stated.

“I can take you with us.” Ambrose offered.

“Take us too.” Olive said.

Ambrose sighed. “I can only handle these two.”

Olive’s l*p trembled as she stared at me.

“I can’t lose you now.” She whispered.

I walked up to her, and Ozzy. I caressed the side of Olive’s face as more tears fell from her eyes. I pressed my lips to hers softly.

“I will always come back to you mi alma.” I said, and then looked at Ozzy. “Both of you.”

Ozzy looks furious.

“You have to take care of her while I’m gone. I made it just in time.” I told him. “I will see you both soon. I promise.” I said.

Olive gripped my shirt, and nodded her head. Ozzy had to pry her fingers from me. The both look so sad, so defeated.

I still have no regrets. I’d kill Ethan five times over if it meant keeping my mates safe. I don’t even care about the mess I made. Not at all.

Ambrose walked to us, and handed my mates each a small vile of herbs.

“These will help with the distance pains. They will be stronger than before now that your bond is stronger.” He told them.

“What about Azai?” Olive asked.

“Azai is bound. The pain will be numbed for now.” Ambrose said vaguely.

I’m still going to feel the pain, just not as intensely. Although, I’m sure it’s going to hurt just as bad as before. Especially with how things are now.

“Come on Azai. The quicker we go, the quicker you can come back.” Charolette said.

*********************************************

I’ve been locked up under the school for four days now. So much for a quick trial. It hasn’t even started yet.

Mom and Kee have come down to visit me every day. Neither of them are supposed to, but clearly they don’t care. Thankfully, Kee has been in contact with my mates.

They are both doing okay. As good as they can while they wait to hear if I’ll be executed, or not. Not that that would really happen.

I mean, can you imagine it? They chop off my head, just for it to pop back on. I’d take another breath, and then what? They’d lock me up?

Hell no. If that’s what they chose I already have a back up plan. We all do in case something like this is to ever happen.

I would break this binding spell. Teleport to grab my mates, and then we would go to Hell. Grandpa would protect us, but…

The future that we have planned would be ruined. Olive wouldn’t be able to be a doctor. I wouldn’t be a teacher. Ozzy would never figure out what he wants out of life. We would be stuck there for who knows how long.

I’m not sure if I can do that to them. I’m not even sure if they would give all of that up for me.

Over the last four days I’ve thought over and over about what happened with Ethan. I still can’t bring myself to regret it, or feel guilty in the slightest. Like I said before, I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Ethan is scum just like his father. I did the world a favor erasing him from it. People should be thanking me for f**k’s sake.

Earlier today, Mom told me that it is taking so long because of Ethan’s father. Apparently, Mr. Gierman is very upset about the death of his son. He’s demanding justice before he’s killed. It’s pushing things back further for me.

Half of the supernatural leaders want to kill Mr. Gierman, and be done with it. While the other half share in his pain. All he’s really doing is playing with them to live longer. It’s obvious.

Still, Mom said that they are hoping to push my trail to tomorrow. Everyone has been at each other’s throats, and it’s getting out of hand.

I’m not worried though. I should be, but I’m not. Every supernatural leader up there knows what it’s like to have a mate. Er, well, most of them do. Not to mention that we have treaty’s with most of them. Or, they are twinded with my family somehow.

The Lycan King will vote for me. He has to, being mated to Relly. The Vampire King will vote for me as well. He is my uncle, of sorts. The High Pristes if the Witch’s could go either way. Since that is Renece’s mother, I’m really not sure.

As for the others.. I don’t know. I’d like to think that the Bounty Hunters would vote for me. With Max being an adopted son of Bruce’s. The Fae Queen apparently owes my family a favor, so that’s promising.

I’m not even sure who else is here. At this point, I don’t know what to think. My thoughts wandered back to my mates.

I hope they’re okay without me. I know that it hurts deep in my chest. And no, the binding spell did nothing to stop the distance pains. Thankfully, Kee took care of that for me.

I hope Olive is okay. After what she saw me do.. I hope I didn’t traumatize her. I hope Ozzy is taking care of her, and I hope Olive is doing the same for him.

I miss them so much.

“Azai.”

I looked up to see Tia standing in front of my cell. This place looks like a sorry excuse for a prison. More like an old wild west jail. But, it’s spelled, it can hold most creatures.

“Tia.” I stood up from the floor, and walked to the bars. “What’s going on?” I asked.

“It’s time for your trial.” She told me.

Tia unlocked my cell, and grabbed my hands. My hands are still bound together, so she pulled me to the steps. We walked up in silence.

“It’s being held outside. Everyone is getting antsy being cooped up. All of us want to get this over.” Tia told me.

“O-okay.” I said nervously.

Tia paused once we reached the doors of the school. She turned to me. Her eyes flashed from red, to teal, to red.

“I will not let them punish you.” She told me.

“Tia, it’s okay. I know what I did.” I told her.

Tia gave me a pained look before pushing the doors open. She walked me around the side of the school towards our home. There are several people gathered around. Some I recognize, some I don’t. Tia stopped in the middle of them.

“Azai Morningstar,” Ryce started. “You are here for a trial. We have been told that you’ve murdered an innocent boy.” He said.

I scoffed.

“You bastard!” I turned my head to see a man that looks exactly like Ethan, only older.

I narrowed my eyes at Mr. Gierman.

“You killed my son!” He shouted.

“Mr. Gierman, you will stay quiet, or we will move your execution to right now.” Max said from behind me.

The stupid prick shut right up.

“Azai, what do you have to say for yourself?” Ryce asked.

Relly is standing next to him. She has a feirce look on her face. One that says ‘I’ll kill you all myself if you f**k with my family’.

“For starters, Ethan was not innocent.” I stated.

“My son has done nothing!” A women shouted.

“Mr. and Mrs. Gierman. If you have to be told again, I will kill you both myself.” Jasper, the Vampire king, said.

I caught his eye, and he gave me a wink.

“What proof do you have that Ethan was not innocent?” The High Priestess asked.

“He had been harrassing my mate. There are several witnesses to his verbal harrassment. I walked in on him touching her after she asked him to stop. Then he cornered her in an elevator, and tried to rape her.” I said.

“I believe she asked for proof.” Someone else said.

“I have no solid proof.” I stated.

“And we are just to believe the word of a Morningstar?” Another laughed.

“I believe it would be in your best interest to.” That’s Grandpa.

“Is that a threat Lucifer?” The same person asked.

“It will be.” Grandpa said dangerously.

“Stop.” I shouted. “I killed Ethan Gierman with my own two hands. I teleported into the elevator just in time to save my mate from getting raped. I slaughtered him.” I looked around at each face, before landing on the Gierman’s. “And I don’t regret a thing.” I seethed.

Whispers sounded from all around us.

“Enough!” Ryce’s voice boomed.

Ryce stepped up to me, and turned to address the others.

“I think that we can all admit that we would do that same. I’ve killed for my mate. I know most of you have as well. Can we really fault this young man for protecting what’s his?” He said.

“Young man? Perhaps if he were a young man, but he is not. This is a Morningstar. A creature of pure evil.” Someone seethed.

I tried not to let the words affect me.

“I’m not evil.” I mumbled.

“What was that boy?” The same person asked.

My eyes snapped up to meet theirs.

“I am not evil.” I stated loudly. “I came here without problem. I could have fled the moment it happened. I could have taken my mates and ran, but I didn’t. What I did was not wrong. Ethan is just as cruel as his father.” I looked at Mr. Gierman. “You are the true evil ones.”

Mr. Gierman’s body started to shake with anger. His eyes started to glow a deep red. I smirked at him.

“My son was just taking what he wanted! If that little b***h of yours would have just kept her mouth shu-“

Mr. Gierman’s words were cut short. He made a gruesome gurggling sound, much like how his son did. Then he fell to the ground.

Jasper is standing behind him holding his heart in his hand. He dropped the heart right on top of the dead body. Then he sighed.

“I, for one, was sick of hearing him talk.” Jasper stated.

Ryce cleared his throat.

“I tried to get the footage from the elevator as proof, but it somehow vanished into thin air. As of now, I think it’s best we take a vote. The Werewolves will stand behind Azai, he is innocent.” Ryce stated.

“I agree, the boy is innocent.” Jasper added.

“Innocent.” Bruce agreed.

“Innocent. If it weren’t for Azai, my daughter would have been raped. And if he didn’t do it, their other mate would have.” Charolette said.

“Guilty.” The High Priestess said.

“Guilty.” Another.

“Guilty.” Another.

s**t.

Two left.

“Guilty.”

f**k.

“It is left to you now Dragon king.” Ryce said.

Dragon king? I didn’t even know we knew the Dragons, let alone that they would attend something like this.

“Unfortunatley, your sister no long has any favors to pin me down with.” The man said. “And without proof..”

The Dragon king took a breath. My heart is beating so loud in my ears. This doesn’t sound promising.

“Wait! Wait!” Someone shouted.

Everyone turned their head to the person running to us.

“Bexley?” I asked.

“I have it!” She declared as she held up a small tape in her hand. “I have the footage from the elevator!”
