Episode 3

The night had fallen.

Her heavenly scent clouding the room.He heard her soft sob that mixed with hiccups as it echoed in the room.He noticed  silhouette of a small woman sitting on the bed.

He reached for her.

"Lilly..."He mumbled.

Lilly felt the bed dip by his weight.His long hand takes her in a hug squashing her face against his hard chest.Her ears met his heart beat picking up as she cling on to him tightly.

That moment her demons faded in the darkness.He was the one that always fought her demons away.His love for her was the only thing that kept her sane.

He let her cry on his arms. Patted her back soothingly only to make her remember that he is here, with her.

Nathan looked at the wall clock.

9.30 pm

It has been three years since he last saw Lilly.Today he is going to get the pain he deserves.Today is supposed to be a happy day for him.Because he found his mate.But LIlly's eyes haunted him,accused him for what he had done.

His memories resurfaced once again,the same memories that he want to forget forever,the memories he always wanted to reverse, the memories made him a shell that he is today.

Flashback-

On that great sunny day they decided to go for a run.It had been many days since they go for a run together.They undress themselves in the hide of trees.Snapping and breaking of bones echoed in the air.Leaving the skin behind they leapt for a run together.Entire run was fun with competitions and  playful fights.But something was off about Alex.His face failed to mask the emotions that his friends didn't failed to notice.

"Whats's wrong Alex?" Nathan asked.Xavier looked at him in confusion.

"I don't know.But I feel something is wrong."

"Then let's go back."

The trio went back to the pack house.But as they reached there Lilly's screams were filling the pack house.Nathan ordered Xavier to get pack doctor and warriors as a precaution.The rest ran to find Lilly.And it was from his room.They shoved the door together.Lilly is being voilated by him,Johnson.She was struggling to get away from.But he didn't let her go.His weight pinned her down.This made Alex fury.He pounced on Johnson.Everything went in a swift motion.Alex's growl rang on the entire building.Johnson shrugged him off.

"Kill him."Johnson growled towards Nathan.But he didn't move an inch.

"I said KILL him."He screamed, his voice dripping venom.

"No.I can't." He whispered.

A sinister laugh crossed his lips.His puppet dared to disobey him.

Johnson knew that with his alpha powers killing Alex is an easy task.But he wanted Nathan to kill him because he want to inflict that pain on him.For that he had a better plan.

"I can make you to" Johnson snickered between the fights.

He hit Alex and he fell on the ground with a thud.

Johnson raised his clawed hands aimed at Lilly who is crying with fear.Nathan's eyes widened and a terror ran through his spine.

"Kill him, now"

Alex stared at his friend.Many emotions swirling in his eyes.Nathan looked at Lilly.Her fragile body is shaking all over.Her eyes tightly shutting as his teasing claws piercing her neck slowly .

Nathan looked at his friend.Alex saw Nathan's eye filling with unshed tears.They filled with confusion,regret,desperation,pain and all of the above care.His hand shook as he raise claws out of them.

With a soft smile Alex lunge towards him.

A fight took place in the room.A war took place in his head.

In a moment of uncertainity he clawed Alex's heart.He fell on the ground with a thud followed by Nathan who fell on his knees beside him.

Alex saw pain in his eyes.He saw fear for him.His corner lip tugged upward for a weak smile.

"protect her, please.."He whispered.

Xavier hurriedly took doctor and warriors with him.He smelled blood in the pack house.He marched towards the source but the scene front of him made him numb.He saw  Lilly sitting on the corner, terror evident on her eyes.On the other side Alex's lifeless body lying near with Nathan on his knees.His hand dripping blood, Alex's blood.

Xavier didn't understand what happened.But he felt hollowness that Alex's loss made and angry towards Nathan although he didn't knew what happened.

On the third day Alpha Johnson issued an order of life long imprison for Lilly for which Xavier watched Nathan hurriedly went to meet alpha.After that the order changed to eviction of Lilly from the pack.

But little did Xavier know that Nathan tolerated many silver blades and wolf bane to change the order.

Nathan noticed the time ticked into 10 pm,breaking him from thoughts.With a loud intake of breath he made his way to Johnson's room.

'knock'

"Come in."His voice filled with silent warning.

Nathan stepped into the room.The sound of the metal clinking against the floor as Johnson walked towards him.

"You can take off the shirt."

"We can't risk someone knowing their mighty alpha is being punished,right?" His voice dripping venom.

He took off his shirt.

With  a loud clank the whip made contact with his skin, silver blade tearing his skin taking a chunk of meat a it returned to it's owner.
