Second Thoughts After Divorce

Ashton’s POV

+10

“Only two of them in here sir” One of my men yells out to me, as I storm in to the room in question – taking in the two burley men as they thrash around and snarl in the arms of my guards.

“WHERE IS THE THIRD?!” I demand, not exactly knowing which of the three was missing..

As if on command, the front door is swung open again, as another of my guards drags the third in from outside…

This one tried to be smart and climb out of the window!” He states the obvious, as my eyes settle on the only one in which I recognised – Nathan.

Excellent…

“All three of you are under arrest for crimes against the women of my pack!” I announce, as their weak yells of protest fall on death ears.

“Got everything you came for now?” Marcus cocks an amused brow at me, as

me, as i smirk and nod once – finally feeling at ease with them all in my custody.

“Yes, thank you for your cooperation Marcus. We will leave your pack first thing in the morning and take back what we came for – you don’t want to keep these three here I can assure you of that.” I inform him, before a loud clutter is heard from behind me.

“Alpha!” One of my men yells out to me in sudden alarm, causing me to tense at the

I turn at the sound, before meeting the end of a sharp knife – held by none other than Nathan’s mother – Isabelle.

I groan loudly, my gaze piercing in to her frantic eyes as she holds the blade to me – too scared to push it in any further. “You f*cking old bitch!” I snarl, before immediately plucking the sharp blade from my side which had thankfully only pierced a small hole in my skin.

That could have been much f*cking worse…

In one quick swift motion, I have the woman turned with her head in my hold her neck ready to be snapped.

“N–No! Alpha! F*ck – she didn’t mean it! Alpha don’t!” My fiery gaze settles on the squealing pig – which turns out to be Nathan as he pleads and begs

for his mothers life.

Well this just got way more amusing…..

1 all but manage a smile, enjoying the sweat that builds across his forehead as the female fights against my vice like grip finding no refuge in her struggles.

1 growl loudly, feeling the blood pulse and spill out from the puncture wound the sound causing everyone to move back a little–not wanting to face my temper.

“How dare you even think that you can harm me you bitch! I seethe in her ear, as she pants and cries- clawing at my thick foream for release which gets her nowhere.

“Grave mistake…” I tut out next, draining out the cries of the three criminals as they beg weakly to keep their family members life.

It was all somewhat amusing at this point… however I needed this little hole in my abdomen to be bandaged up soon, so unfortunately time was of the

With Isabelle in my grip, her life hanging by a thread, I couldn’t help but let a sadistic smile creep onto my lips. The situation was tense, and the desperate pleas of Nathan and his cousins fell on deaf ears.

You see, Isabelle, harming an Alpha is a grave mistake. The consequences can be quite severe,” I hissed, my eyes locked onto Nathan as he sweated, realizing the gravity of the situation.

“Please, Alpha, don’t hurt my mother! We’ll do whatever you want, just spare her Nathan’s voice wavered, his defiance crumbling in the face of my

Isabelles face had tumed pale, and she continued to struggle in my grip, her eyes filled with sheer terms and some sign of vague regret. “Alpha, please… My son, my family, I beg for their safety, I only wanted to protect them” fabelle finally cries out, as though she had only just caught up with what was

happening.

1 considered her desperate pleas for a brief moment, but that was soon gone. I had to make a point. I needed these men to understand the price th05:25 pay for their actions. I couldn’t let Nathan and his cousins escape justice, not after the suffering they’d caused, and maybe this was the best revenge….

His mother had walked right into my arms…. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“Your son and his cousins will be held accountable for their actions and not only them… now, you all will face the consequences, as the tight knit family you so claim to be!” I growl, lightening my grip an Isabelle, hearing her choke a little for added effect as the three of them sob and cry out further…

I decide to keep them on edge for a moment more, as Isabelle continued to gasp and choke for air. My twisted side thrived watching their despair. probably more than I should have enjoyed it, before I decided to loosen my grip – feeling satisfied when seeing their tear stained faces,

“But I won’t take a life today. Instead, we’ll show you the true justice system that my pack provides. You will leave here with us tomorrow and will be punished back on my territory accordingly! I announce, before tossing the old hag down an to her knees as she lands with a heavy thud on the creaky wood flooring.

“What kind of treatment is this! Don’t we at least deserve a trial? A chance to defend ourselves?! One of the cousins demands what he sees as “justice“, which causes me to laugh.

As I laugh, my men join me, mocking them in their pleas. They really think I’m that soft?

They were wrong, and I wanted to make that abundantly clear… nobody does what they

“Trial?” 1 chuckled, the sound cold and devoid of humor. “Your actions speak louder than any words you could conjure in your defense. You’ll have your chance to speak on my territory, but the punishment you’ll face is inevitable. I sneer, disgusted by the sight of the men.

Nathan’s mother, Isabelle, was still gasping and sobbing on the floor, now pounding her wrinkled hands on the wood in aggravation.

The room was swamped with the scent of fear and desperation, and I reveled in the control I had over them now – a feeling I didn’t have until tonight

I looked down at Nathan and his cousins with a cold, unwavering gaze. “This is the justice you’ll receive for your crimes against the women of my pack. It’s a small taste of whats to come.” I state with a shrug, as they eye one another desperately.

Nathan’s face had turned ashen, his bravado and defiance replaced with terror. He’d tried to outsmart us, escape to another pack, and now he’d dragged his family into a mess they couldn’t escape from either.

their pleas. “Enough

I turned my attention to the men who surrounded us, who were still filled with amusement as they mocked the three criminals in their now men.” I ordered, and they fell silent, but the satisfaction in their eyes remained.

I nodded at Marcus. “Marcus, we will be taking these three along with the old witch with us back to our territory tomorrow so until then–where can we secure them? They will face the consequences of their actions on my pack’s terms, I’ll leave the details of the handover to you.” I wave a hand, signalling for two guards to haul Nathan’s whimpering mother to her feet.

Marcus inclined his head in agreement. “Very well, Alpha Ashton. We’ll make the necessary preparations for their transfer – I’m sure we have a perfect number of cells available for tonight to suit them.” He concludes, clasping his hands together before gesturing to the front door.

I turned my gaze back to Nathan, Karl, Warren and Isabelle briefly. “Consider yourselves lucky that I’ve spared your lives tonight. You’ll be getting what you deserve soon enough.” I smirk devilishly, watching the reninants of colour drain from their faces….

With that, my pack members began the process of restraining the four criminals, ensuring that they wouldn’t escape again before we began our walk back through the woods dragging them along with us in reach of the cells.

“Now let’s see that hole… Marcus nudges my arm on our walk, as I turn to him ever so slightly removing my hand from the pincture wound inflicted by Tabelle in her frantic state.

“just a small nick…” I chuckle, Ignoring the fact that my hand had now been coated fully in red liquid.

“A nick? It’s a f*cking hole! I’ll have someone meet us back at the house to stitch you up!” Marcus insists, as I nod once at the suggestion and continue

Sure it wasn’t ideal, but I had been through much worse before this……. it really was a small nick on the larger scale of things.

Bonu

As we walked back through the woods with Nathan, Karl, Warren, and Isabelle in tow, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction having found 105:21

here so easily…

The men who had caused so much suffering to the women of my pack were finally in my custody, and they’d soon face the consequences of their actions the second that I get them all back home!

Lydia would be relieved to know that they would no longer ruin her life.

Alpha Marcus had offered to secure them in cells within his pack for the night, and I had accepted, knowing that we’d take them back to our territory first thing in the morning,

Our pace was steady, and despite the slight pain from the wound Isabelle had inflicted, I managed to hide any sign of weakness to everyone around me. Marcus, on the other hand, was concerned about my injury probably way more than necessary.

It didn’t take long to reach the underground cells, meeting two of Marcus‘ guards at the entrance – both on night watch,

I instructed my men to take shifts as extra security too, ensuring that by no means they wouldn’t magically vanish and escape during the night!

The journey back to Marcus pack house was relatively uneventful too, but I couldn’t help but think about Rose and how excited I suddenly felt to see her…

She had been alone in the locked room all night, and my mind was filled with concern for her. Although I knew that I had to do my duty and leave her in, I still fell bad about it just on the off chance that she would need me for anything whilst I was gone.

After a further ten minutes, we reached the pack house, and it was a relief to see that everything appeared calm and just how we had left it.

“Well Marcus, Tappreciate your cooperation once again and can’t thank you enough for accompanying us on tonight’s hunt.” I reach out to shake the man’s hand with my clean one, as he nods and hums in response–shaking it back.

“Anytime! Though, please at least give me a call next time when you’re planning on visiting us eh? Marcus jokes, as I nod and smirk in amusement at his request.

With that, I head upstairs, having been told that the packs doctor should be arriving soon…

I take out the key from my pocket, fiddling with the lock before opening the door to find Rose exactly where I had left her, engrossed in her book.

She looked up when I entered, her eyes filled with curiosity. “Is everything alright, Ashton? Wh–What’s that on your hand?!” She bubbles and sits upright, causing me to wave off her concern.

1 let out a sigh of relief, grateful to see her safe. “Everything’s fine now, lose. We ve captured Nathan, Karl, Warren, and also his mother Isabelle. They’ll face punishment as soon as we get back. It was the mother then gave me this believe it or not?” I force a laugh, as Rose’s mouth falls open in disbelief.

She nodded at the first part of my statement, before her eyes landed on the little hole in my torso once again. “Seriously?!” She gasped, as I nodded in final confirmation of what happened.

I looked down at my hand, still stained with blood, and smiled back at her. “Just a minor injury princess. Marcus is arranging for a doctor to stitch me up tonight–they’ll be here any minute now.” I inform her, as she pushes herself to stand.

“Are you sure you’re going to be ok Ashton?” Rose pushes, bending slightly to peer at it up close before pulling a face to show her disgust.

“I’m made of steel.” I nod firmly, before a light knock is heard on the bedrooái door causing us both to turn to see a young man standing in its doorway.

“Somebody needed stitched up?” He announced with a lopsided smile, as I sigh and nad – somewhat disappointed that my catch up with Rose had been

cut short.

complain… since things tonight did go to plan… other than the stabbing… but it was nothing a needle and thread wouldn’t fix.
