Chapter 51
50 He Is My Father Cain POV
"Oh, good you're here. I'm glad that Miranda was the one to deal with you in the end. Now we can get started. Tanith, if you would be so kind as to begin," says a woman with long flowing red hair. Where the f**k am I? I look around and my eyes land on Robert. He's on his knees. He looks like hell. Before I can ask any questions, a woman with long black hair and a long blade steps in front of Robert.
Bile rises in my throat as she runs it down his chest, leaving a long gash that hardly bleeds. His screams make the blood freeze in my veins. When I look back at the other woman she smiles. "I'm not one for torture Cain unless its deserved and you two definitely have earned everything my sister is about to visit on you, but first someone else gets a go at you first."
A woman I never thought I would see again steps from behind the red-haired woman I've finally deduced is the goddess herself. A sinister smile spreads across her face as she steps
toward me. I was so focused on her face I failed to notice the long blade in her hand. Without
a word, she runs the tip of the blade down my cheek. I try to hold back my scream, but she pushes the blade deeper.
I open my mouth to scream and, without warning, she grabs my tongue. "Do you remember all the times I begged you to stop, and you threatened to cut my tongue out if I didn't shut up," she asks. Fear crawls up my spine. "My pain is over, and my pups are safe, but your suffering is
just beginning" she says.
She pulls my tongue harder before she slices through the muscle with ease. Blood fills my mouth and I wonder how long this will truly go on. There has to be worse wolves in our world than me and Robert. Susan leans in, her lips so close to my ear I expect to feel her breath. "Don't worry Cain, there is enough misery and pain to go around to all the ba**ards like you
who hurt innocent people." Rosalyn POV
I'm not sure what I expected, but watching my mother torture my sperm donor wasn't it. I know my mother is strong, but I've never seen her raise her voice when we were pups. When Samantha and I left the room, I hoped she would be ready to go find Colton, but she wanted to stay. We watched through the two-way glass as my mother plunged the blade into Cain's groin.
I looked at Samantha out of the corner of my eye to make sure she was still alright and her facial expression didn't change. "I know you're worried about me, Rosalyn, but I promise you

after what I listened to my mother endure watching him suffer isn't going to faze me. He deserves everything your mother is doing to him and more," she says. Her voice is firm and resolute.
My eyes flash to Charlie. I hate the worry I see in his eyes. He is worried that my mother will regret taking Cain's life, but he's wrong. When the door finally opens, my mother steps out covered in blood. "He doesn't get buried in the cemetery. I don't care what you do with his body, but he won't be honored here even if it's no longer my pack," she says. "This will always be your pack, even if you decide not to return. His body will be thrown outside the territory for the animals to deal with," Reese says.
My mother nods and walks toward Charlie. He reaches out, pulling her into his arms. He picks her up, carrying her away from the rest of us. "What did you do to him?" Bryce's screams echo down the hallway. I push past everyone until I come to stand in front of his cell. "What did she
do," his voice is almost a whisper. He doesn't look into my eyes when he speaks. He looks broken, but I can't find it in myself to feel sorry for him.
Samantha comes to stand next to me, taking my hand in hers. Bryce looks at her and I see
recognition in his eyes. "You knew, didn't you?" His eyes meet mine again before he nods.
"What the hell happened to you? How could you keep his secret? How could you know what he
was doing and allow it to continue?" "He is my father" he says loudly, startling me.
"You mean he was your father," I say. His eyes look at me in disbelief. "No, you wouldn't he says. "I didn't, but mom did. He is no more. I just pray that whatever the goddess has planned for him lasts longer than what he just endured." "How could you say that? He's your father? He loved you," Bryce says.
I throw my head back and laugh. "He didn't love anyone but himself. The only reason you ranked is because he trotted you out like a show pony. You were the son that was going to carry on his disgusting legacy. The son that was going to become the Beta of this pack. Would you have followed in his footsteps, Bryce, because based on everything you've done, I think you would?"
Bryce doesn't answer me as he starts to look past me. "Reese, please get me out of here. She's wrong, the only thing I've done is love you." "Enough, you have no right to ask for anything. You have proven to the pack and your family that you are a chip off the old block," Mindy says. I turn to look at her as Bryce growls.
I know it's petty, but I turn back to him prepared to make him hurt just like he did to me all those months ago. "Bryce, you haven't met Mindy, have you? Bryce, this is Mindy Orick, Reese's mate and future Luna of the Black Rose." "You f**king b**ch that's not true" he screams. "There's the real Bryce. The one that only cares about himself. It is very true. You

thought you could take what didn't belong to you. You thought you could hurt me, but in the end, you are the only one that is suffering."
"I'm happy with my mate. Reese is happy with his mate. Someday, Logan will be happy with his mate, but you won't. You have nothing left, no one to stand with you. I thought about having Beck just end your pathetic life, but that's too good for you. I want you to live the rest your days alone because that's what you deserve."
"You better kill me because if I get out of this place, I'm going to kill that b**ch and you," he says, pointing to Mindy. Reese and Beck both growl in warning. "Mindy," I say, and she steps forward. "Can you do what we talked about?" "I've spoken to the goddess and I can," she says with confidence. "I want you to know that after today no one will think about you Bryce. You
won't even be a memory. You had your chance to the do the right thing, but you were too dam
selfish."
"F**k you,
Rose. I wish you were never born" he screams at me. "Well, wishing won't change that I was." Mindy starts to chant, and her eyes turn silver. Bryce's body starts to shake, and
he screams out in pain. I'm not sure what it feels like to have your other half ripped from your soul, but I imagine it's painful. It feels like minutes, even though it's truly only seconds. Bryce continues to convulse and scream.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
"Rosalyn, what's happening," Samantha whispers. Before I can answer, the room goes silent and Bryce drops to the ground. I notice Mindy start to sway. I wrap my arm around her to help steady her. "What the f**k just happened" Reese asks as he-scoops up his exhausted mate into his arms. "I'm fine Reese, just tired" Mindy says as she rests her head against his chest.
"That doesn't answer my question, love" he says. "I stripped him of his wolf and sent him back to the goddess. He has to atone for his misdeeds as much as Cain's wolf does. They should have stopped their humans. The goddess is very angry with both of them. Robert's wolf will be given the same punishment as Robert and Cain. Bryce is essentially human now. He is going to live out the rest of his life as a human in a place where he can never hurt another wolf again," Mindy says before she closes her eyes.
