Alpha’s Rue: His Shunned Luna (Athena Enchanted) novel Chapter 406

TW: Dismemberment.

I make my way to James’ office.

I pause when I hear something loud coming from his office, low, familiar groans that instantly irritate me. I push the door open. He should be working, not fucking, during office hours. This is practically a hospital. Nothing prepares me for what I see inside. James is alone, leaning back on the seat he offered us earlier, staring at something.

“Al-Alpha Kingston,” he scrambles off the chair, desperately reaching for the remote, but it drops.

My eyes shift to the screen, my stomach dropping when I catch sight of the familiar face on it. “What the fuck?” I bark, staring at the screen. My mate is on that screen, half-naked in her bed and smearing paint over her skin.

“I can explain, Alpha.” He gasps, “The...the..” I don’t let him finish, I swing before he can speak. He staggers, but he doesn’t fall, he takes a few steps back, but I reach him in a few strides again. “It was a mistake,” his eyes widen. “I mean, it’s monitoring.”

“Monitoring?” I groan, slamming my fist into his face again and again. “You have fucking cameras in her room! You are jerking off to my wife in her underwear, and it's a mistake?” I slam my forehead against his, knocking him to the ground this time. “You were supposed to help her get better.”

“No, Alpha i...” he reaches for the remote control once again, still desperate to turn the screen off even after I’ve seen it all.

At least I think I have, until my gaze flickers to the screen and I see something else on the screen. I pause, everything looks normal for the first few seconds, until he crawls onto her bed and unbuckles his belt. My gaze shifts, and he shakes his head, crawling backwards on the floor.

Something snaps inside me, and the anger moulds into pure feral wrath. James rises to his feet, “No... no... it is not what it looks like.”

“You touched her?” I choke out, the statement in itself unbelievable. He crawled into her bed and jerked off to her? Thinking about how many times it’s happened makes my stomach churn.

“No Alpha, I—” I throw him towards his desk, barely containing the urge to shift and rip him apart with my teeth.

“You’re dead,” I growl.

“I’m sorry, I was just helping...yes.” he frantically nods, trying to get away from me. “I was helping her, you... You-you said to take very good care of her.” He rasps, swiping blood off his nose. “To give her what she needs.”

“I didn’t ask you to molest my mate!” I roar, stalking him around the room.

“I was just giving her a hand, I...Alpha, please, please forgive me. I wasn’t thinking I—”

That alone infuriates me even more. I aimlessly probe the small end of the bottle against his ass, pushing until it enters his ass. “Alpha!” He cries out, falling from the wall.

“Shut up.”

“Alpha Kingston, I’m sorry, please I...”

I start kicking the bottle with my foot, ramming it further up his ass. “You wanted to assault my mate, I’m going to do the same to you.” I hiss. “I will shove this up your ass and you will fucking take it in silence. Do you hear me?”

He nods against the floor, holding on for dear life. I kick the bottle again, and he screams when it goes further up.

“I said, in silence,” I hiss, kicking it once again.

He curls onto his side, and I step forward, my boot crushing his dick. He screams out in pain, the sound of cartilage shifting under my boot oddly satisfying. I reach for the dagger in my boot, and he starts begging again, but I’m deaf to the noises he makes. “You’ll stop thinking with your dick when you lose it,” I grumble, lifting my foot just enough to make a single cut on the flesh. I start slow, my dagger could cut through steel if ever needed, but I make it slow and painful before I lose my patience and completely sever it from his body. The cut is clean and brutal.
