Chapter 23: Revenge 

(Major’s POV)

I will kill them all. No one hurts my Mate and lives to tell about it. When I find them nothing or noone will save them from me.

(Narrator POV)

The Major was out for blood. One and only one thing on his mind. Revenge! Never had he been so angry, so hurt. Not even when he was with Maria. He was running back to where the attack happened. It was a subconscious decision but that is where his body was taking him.

Arriving at the scene he stopped in the shadows of the buildings, not allowing the streetlamps to hit his skin. Breathing deep several times he picked up two scents, one he recognized immediately as Micheal’s. The other was unknown to him but easy enough to track. He had come across it several times in town. The Major took off toward the grocier where he knew his first victim would be working, afterall his father owned the store.

Climbing to the roof of the building across the street with ease he perched with a perfect view of the roads infront of or behind the store. He waited. As the darkness deepened around him he knew it was almost time. He could have his revenge. Take his payment of blood, from the one who hurt his mate and killed his child. Nothing would stop him, no one would stand in his way. If they tried they to would die.

 The lights in the store slowly flickered off one by one. He knew the time was approaching. The venom started to pool in his mouth with each passing second, the anticipation of the hunt was almost as good as the kill. Finally his target emerged. Loaping down the road toward his place of rest. Only he would never make it there tonight.The Major followed him by leaping from tree to tree in the woods that encircled the small town. As he reached the end of street and began to go around the bend of the trees, the Major appeared before him. The young man jumped surpised by the stranger’s sudden appearance. Then the Major spoke.

“You boy are the one who hurt Mistress Arabella.” 

it wasn’t a question, just a statement of fact.

“Yeah the tramp got what she disserved, she fluanted her shit all over town like she was a gift from the gods, but when i showed her interest she tossed me aside like yesterday’s trash.”

This made the Major growl. The young man heard it and looked closer at the stranger. Noticing the red of his eyes he began to back away.

“Who are you?”

“I’m the thing of your nightmares, the shadow that follows you, death personified. I warned you once not to touch her again, you disobeyed my direct order, now you will pay.”

“that w..w..wa..was you?” he stuttered.

“Yes, and now I plan to make good on my promise. This time the mistress isn’t here to save you.”

“Who are you?”

“Major Whitlock”

“Arabella’s Major. The one everyone hears about but no one has ever seen?” he asked.

The Major simply growled at hearing her name fall from his lips. The boy smiled.

“You don’t look anything special. Why would she want you when she could have me?”

This was not the brightest thing he should have said but he isn’t the sharpest pencil in the box. The Major growled loudly and grabbed him by the throat. Lifting him into the air he spoke for the last time.

“Mistress Arabella would not have lowered her standards to your level.” He spit venom as he spoke. 

“She is a whore and nothing more. Was she good?”

That was the last words the boy spoke. The Major tore into his throat with his teeth,but he didn’t drink. He wanted this to be slow and painful. He threw the boy against a tree close by, listening to his bones crunch on contact. He stalked over to where he landed. Leaning in slowly he whispered to the boy.

“Your first mistake was to think you could touch my Mate. The second was to cause her harm. The third was to call her a whore. You won’t live to make another mistake.”

The Major started slowly tearing the boy apart. First he tore off his fingers one by one. Then his hands. Next he pulled out his tongue. The Major figured to start with the offending pieces of him first. His blood was pulling all around him. The Major decided to make it look like an animal attack. Using his teeth to shred the skin and muscle like an animal would. He left the pieces laying around the boys body. Taking just a few to bury further off into the woods.

He waited as he watched the boys life drain from his eyes. He did not wish to drain him, he wanted none of this despicable creatures blood in him. Once dead he positioned the body on the side of the roadway. He thought of returning to his mate, but his job was not finished he had the unknown accomlice left. So after cleaning up some he went to find his next victim. 

It didn’t take him long. The others’ scent was all over town. He found him at the brothel that Peter had told him about. He could smell both Peter and Charlotte’s scents, they must frequent here often. That wasn’t important right now. He followed the boys’ sent up the stairs through hallways. The lust swarming this place was thick in the air. He could feel the stares of the women in the rooms as he passed.

He came to a room at the end of the hall. The woman’s smell he recognized, it was of the girl Peter knew. Pushing the door open he found not only the boy but both of the women he was introduced to. The girls looked at the intruder and smiled when they noticed who it was.

“Well Major nice of you to join us but it seems as if we are already engaged at the moment you are more then welcome to join if you so chose.”

“Sorry ladies not this time. Would you mind leaving us.” he said giving them one of his dazzling smiles.

“Anything for you Major”

Both women left the room without any agruement.

“Dude I have no business with you. Hell I don’t even know who the hell you are.”

“You may not know who I am, but I do have business to finish with you.”

“How so?”

“Don’t question me boy were leaving.”

“I ain’t goin anywhere with you.”

“You can do this the easy way or the hard way. It doesn’t matter much to me. Either way i will get what i came here for.”

“And what is that?”

“You.”

The boy was smart enough to look scared. Not that it would help him any, he already sealed his death warrent when he helped to hurt Arabella. He got up and dressed quickly. Something in the Major’s eyes must have shown that he wasn’t someone to fuck with.

They walked slowly out of the brothel after paying the bill. Taking the boy around the outside of the building he knew this wouldn’t take long. He needed to finish quickly and get back to his mate.

“What did i do that you are looking for me?” the boy asked his voice laced with fear. This only fueled the Major more.

“You were with that vile scum who attacked my Mistress, my Mate.”

“Your what?”

“My Mate. You helped him to attack her, killing my unborn child. Did you not think we would find out who attacked her. That there wouldn’t be repercussions for the pain you caused.”

“I didn’t know what was gonna happen, he just said he wanted to scare her. I didn’t know he was gonna kill her.”

“I didn’t say she was dead. Luckily the doctor was close. Even if she is alive my child no longer is.”

“she was pregnant?”

“Yes and now that child is dead and so is your friend. Now say your prayers to whatever god you worship cause you will be seeing him soon.”

Without another word the Major was on the boy. Snapping his neck. No need to draw this out. He came for what he was after. Now he must return to his mate. He buried the body deep in the woods. No one would ever find him. He would have to go back and charm the whores, but that would be simple. A large dose of confusion and forgetfullness and they wouldn’t remember the boy ever being there or leaving with him.

(Peter’s POV)

The Major took off before we even knew to stop him. I know where he was going and I won’t be the one to stop him. I tried once and I found out quickly that nothing stops the Major when he is out for blood. Whoever did this to Arabella would not live to see morning. Char sat with Bella after we found out the Major left. I knew he wouldn’t be gone long. He wouldn’t leave his mate alone in this much distress.

That’s when I heard him coming back. I ran up the stairs to Bella’s room and grabbed Char just as the Major entered through the same window he went out of. It would not be wise to be caught touching his Mate in the state of mind he is in. The smell of blood was lingering on his skin and clothes. You could see the dark spots on his shirt. Who ever did this is dead now, of that i can guarentee.

He was growling and snarling at us being that we were still in the room. We both dropped to our knees and lowered our heads, takin a submissive pose. I could feel him move from the window closer to Bella. We heard the springs in the bed dip as he climbed on next to her. I looked up slowly to see where he was.

He was holding her in his arms as she began to cry again. He began to stroke her hair softly, whispering to her words we could not hear. Whatever he said to her caused her to cling tighter to him, pushing her face further into the crook of his neck. He started to purr. At the gentle sounds she relaxed some but was still crying.

I took this as our chance to leave. I reached for Chars hand, grabbing it in mine. I tugged lightly. We started to back out on our knees.  A low growl from the Major let me know he was aware of us moving. Closing the door behind us we exited the room. Once we were safely in the hallway we stood and walked down the stairs.

The Doc was at the bottom of the stairs looking toward Bella’s room.

“He’s back i take it.”

“Yes Doc he is and if you know what is best for you, you will stay away from that room until called upon or else you won’t make it back down here in one piece.”

“That good huh?”

“Yeah. I’m pretty sure the town folk will be short at least two when daylight comes.”

“Oh and how do you know this?”

“I could smell two different blood types on him when he came back. I have no questions about what happened and if i would have known i would have gone with him, but obviously he thought it was something he had to do alone. After all she is his mate.”

“I see. Your not worried about exposure?”

“No Doc the Major is well organized a very good at killing. Afterall that is what he was created for.”

“I have heard the stories.”

“Stories my ass Doc. I lived that shit. Story isn’t the word i would use. Nightmare is more like it.”

“I meant no offense Peter you know that. It is just hard to see things from that point of view when you haven’t lived it, or anything like it for that matter.”

“I pray you never have to Doc. It isn’t a life i would wish on anyone. I got lucky and only had to deal with it for a year. I got off easy, the Major dealt with that shit for decades. On top of being a soldier in the human war.”

“Yes, I remember reading all about it in the newspapers. He was presumed dead, after he went missing.”

“Yeah well we know what really happened. Then on top of it he was forced to watch the war whore Maria kill his family, she used that to break him. To get him to bend to her will.”

“Oh shit.”

“Exactly Doc. So he has been through hell and back. Now he has that angel upstairs and she has been slowly bringing back the man he must have been before his life was taken from him. He did the only thing he knows to do. He went and took the lives of those who hurt the one good thing he has gotten back.”

“I understand.”

“Good, I’m glad i don’t have to explain that shit anymore. Now i’m hungry lets go get something to eat.”

“Oh joy.” the sarcasm was dripping from his voice. He has obviously been around us for to long already, we are rubbing off on him.

“You know you don’t have to watch us Doc. You could always go catch something warm and fuzzy.” i snickered.

“You know that isn’t very nice Peter.” Char repremanded me.

“I’m sorry if i perfer my meals with less hair” i wagged my brows at her.

“Your such a pig” Char yelled and then smacked me.

“Let’s go before i lose my appatite.” the Doc spoke.

“Whatever!” i shrugged and we left to go get lunch.
