Chapter Chapter Thirty
Jermaine's POV
"What are we going to do alpha that kid is out of control he needs to be stopped he can't go around acting like he owns the place not because he's your son he isn't even one of us plus he's a damn monster I've never seen anyone look so evil in all my life and the way his eyes turn black so easily as if on command no. Should be able to do that not even the ones that are feral" travis one of our warriors present says after alessandro left
"Alpha I know Alessandro can be a bit much but he is right you know your father needs to be put down he has caused so much harm to this pack and his family as well as countless others that we may or may not know of I know he's your dad and so I understand your feelings of confliction in the situation and I'm not just agreeing with alessandro because he's my nephew or the fact your dad kidnapped and tortured my sister I'm saying this to you because it is what needs to be done and whether or not Alessandro is a pack member or "one of us’ as Travis puts it he is the perfect person for the job besides it's not like we have a choice he is going to kill Kevin one way or another even if he has to go through your entire pack and we all know he can so instead of causing any more needless deaths I say we negotiate with Alexandra to let you guys deal with Kevin the way you would deal with anyone else if they had committed treason and betrayed the pack” Michael says to Ke'shaun
"What are you saying beta I understand that mr. Black has betrayed us all especially with what he did to Isabel but how can we let someone like that kid execute him we both know he won't he won't give him an honorable or a swift death he torture him until he begs for death you see the crazed look in his eye he is one step away from being feral I say we hand him over to the council like Alpha suggested along with that son of his they both need to be locked up. As bad as mr. Black is Alessandro is no better they are both cut from the same cloth and is a danger to us all" travis argued as
"Honorable and Swift dead are you crazy is that what you think a traitorous bastard such as my father deserves I swear you all are idiots in this pack if it were anyone else you would have all been outside ke'shaun's office protesting for the man's head on a stick but no because he is the former Alpha you're all kissing his ass just like he knew you would that's why he hasn't defended himself up until now or even say anything he hasn't even uttered an apology or show any signs of remorse. That man kidnapped me, I am his son for goodness sake and yet he saw nothing wrong with torturing me and the woman I love in an effort for us to reject each other just so he could control my life even though he knew full well that if I had done what he asked it would have killed me and my wolf as well as her but that did not matter to him all he saw where his ambitions being fulfilled, Ambitions that blinded him and turned him into the monster he is today you call alessandro a monster when he was forced to become what he is he didn't choose to be like this yet he doesn't go around oppressing other people even though he has the power to while my father whom you all seem to idolize despite all his wrong doings all his betrayals and all his flaws you all speak of giving him an honorable death I for one am going to negotiate with alessandro but not to let the pack deal with Kevin no I want to be in on his torture I want him to feel every ounce of pain I felt as the electrocuted cut whipped and lashed me, as they made me watch while they tortured Rosalyn hour by hour minute by minute, as I had to watch that man force himself unto her and I was too late to stop it and now she won't even look at me because I'm not worthy of her I was too weak to save her when she needed me the most and you sit here talkin about Swift and honorable deaths?" I yelled getting tired of this entire conversation
"I agree with Jermaine” Isabella says
"That man is no longer our father he is a monster what kind of father injects his own daughter with wolfsbane? I could have died! I spent all my life thinking I was a freak thinking I wasn't good enough for anyone good enough to have friends good enough to be around other people yes I was born with a degenerative disease but everyone knows werewolves don't have permanent disabilities my life would have been so easier I would have shifted at the age of 12 I would have healed I would have gotten better I could have made friends I could have had a normal childhood instead I was stuck in a chair for 16 years and if it wasn't for Alessandro I would have died the day I shifted. Instead of ignoring my cry he risked his own life to save me, a girl he only met a few hours ago briefly. We hadn't even had a conversation before he saved me and yet you call him a monster what kind of monster sacrifices their own life to save someone else what kind of monster would give up his own of happiness his own chance of finding his mate knowing full well he could die and still attempted to save my life with a forbidden technique his mom taught him and made him promise never to use unless it was a certain life or death situation”
"Since this seems to be a voting committee what about you Mom what do you say do you think I should let my son your grandson kill my father the father of your children his own grandfather in the most horrific way possible" ke'shaun asks trying to guilt trip mom
"I have no idea why you would ask me such a question ke'shaun I thought you knew your mother better than that I've wanted your father dead since the day I I felt the unbearable pain of his betrayal” mom says shocking everyone in the room. I personally thought she'd give in to him like she always have.
She would never admit it but Keshaun had always been a favorite both my parents mom loved all her kids but deep down we all knew she loved him most maybe it was the fact that he is her first born that but it was obvious does she had a love for him she didn't show to anyone else not even Isabelle and that is why he was always able to manipulate her into doing whatever he or dad wanted.
"Seeing as everyone has voted against my idea of handing dad over to the council it seems his faith has been decided" ke'shaun says
"Jermaine and micheal could you please go call alessandro and tell him to bring dad as well so we cab get this over with" he say
With a nod i left the office a bit suspicious. Its not in my brother to give up that easily especially when it has anything to do with kevin. I really hope they aren't planning on doing anything rash that would cause them to go into battle with alessandro because it would be a blood bath.
"What do you think he's up to?" Micheal asks pulling me from my thoughts
"You noticed too huh?" I say
"Of course i did I've known ke'shaun my whole life i can tell when he's scheming he gets that look in his eyes" he replied
"Well whatever it is i just hope he doesn't piss alessandro off. Did you sense the amount of power radiating off him even when he was calm his presence was still domineering" i say
"I know it was crazy and the way he transformed, what the heck did those old bats in the council do to him" micheal replies
We walk until we reached the room alessandro and rosalyn was in. Micheal knocks on the door making our presence know before opening it and walking in. I walk into the room slowly scanning the space to see who was present. I saw alessandro his three friends and rosalyn sitting on the bed as well as Rosalyn's father former beta Steven. They looked as if they were having a conversation before wedug interrupted.
"Hey guys" micheal greets
"Hey" they reply in unison i
"Uhm alessandro alpha Ke'shaun has made his decision he would like to meet you in his office his mom and Isabelle are still there i think they're ready to say their peace to the load of shit you have chained to your window" micheal says
"We'll i wasn't expecting them to have been so cooperative but it doesn't matter either way" alessandro shrugged
Walking over to my father who was glaring daggers at him alessandro picked him up as if the man weighed nothing a threw him over his shoulders. Dad kept shifting around trying to break free so alessandro punched him in the side of his head knocking him out cold.
"Ok lets go” he says walking to the door
Micheal walked behind him followed by his three friends and Steven. As i was about to leave a small voice stopped me
"Jermaine wait"
I turned to see Roslyn still sitting on the bed with a nervous look on her face.
"C-could i talk to you for a moment" she stutters
I stood there staring at her like she just grew two heads. I couldn't believe it rosalyn was actually talking to me, as in with actual words. This was real and not something i imagined.
"Close your mouth jermaine your drooling” rosalyn chuckled snapping me back to reality
"Sorry I'm just really surprised that your actually talking to me" i say sheepishly
"Uh yeah uhm actually that's what i wanted to talk to you about” she says nervously
"Oh ok" i say
"Look jermaine first of all i want to say I'm sorry for the way I've treated you over the past 6 months it was totally unfair and even though i had my reasons i convinced myself it was the right thing to do even though i knew it was wrong but i did it anyway. I was so caught up in myself i didn't realize what I've been doing to you, i hurt you jermaine and for that im extremely sorry" she apologises "You don't have to apologize to me rosalyn its ok i understand. What you went through was traumatic to say the least and what that guy did to you-. I should be the one apologizing to you i promised you I'd protect you and i failed when you needed me the most” i reply
"You can't blame yourself for that jermaine it wasn't your fault how could you have know that my own mother would let someone rape me and if it wasn't for you he would have done a lot worse so as far as I'm concerned you did save me" she says
"Rose i-
"Look I'm really sorry for the way i treated you I'm not completely ok but I'm trying. I really hope you can forgive me jermaine and if you cant then i understand" she says walking closer towards me "I can't forgive you rosalyn because there's nothing to forgive. You did nothing wrong" pulling her into my arms
"I love you rose and nothing can ever change that"
Tears gathered in her eyes as she looked at me. Her big hazel eyes had a spark in them they didn't have a few days ago and I knew it was because of alessandro.
"I-I love you too jermaine” she says making my heart soar to the heavens
Looking at her i cant help but be mesmerized, her beauty never fades because it's way more than skin deep it goes to her soul. This woman who pieced back together my broken heart and brought back the light i lost so long ago. I don't know what i ever did to deserve her but i thank the moon goddess for the day she walked back into my life. Pulling her closer i gently placed my lips against her's giving her the chance to pull away if she so chooses, when she doesn't i take that as my answer and kissed her deeply making sure to pour out all my emotions that I've bottled up over the past six months just so she could understand how she makes me feel.
Kissing rosalyn again was like heaven. That's the only word i can use to describe it, it felt so out of this world i felt as if my whole being had been reborn.
Finally i can get the happiness i deserve, i have the love of my life right here in my arms and I'm never letting her go
Ever.
