The Alpha and The Vigilante novel Chapter 68

She teleported back to the other side of the ring once I got too close. "You know that my mother was originally from Blood Lake?"

Girl, fuck your mom.

I charged at her with the sword in front of me. She teleported once again to the other side. "She taught me the importance that Blood Lake puts on the women being submissive. She agrees that Alpha Cain deserves better and that you're destroying the pack." She teleported behind me and kicked me in the back. I stumbled, but didn't fall over. By the time I turned around, she was gone again.

On the other side of the ring, she reappeared. I mindlinked Gwen what I wanted her to tell Jennifer.

"She said: 'Tell your mom I'm coming to beat her ass too after I kill you'" Gwen laughed, as did some of the other pack members.

"Bold words for someone who can't land a hit right now," Jen smirked, and dodged a knife I sent her way.

I really had to find a way to incapacitate her long enough to kill her. She was incredibly annoying with her little disappearing act.

An evil grin overtook my face as I thought of an idea. I summoned a long whip. I cracked the whip once in her direction, causing her to teleport, and then swung the whip around in a wide arc that covered the area of the fighting circle. When she reappeared from her teleportation, the whip collided with her arm.

She cried out from the pain of the whip, and I cracked it again in her direction. She teleported again, but I was ready and swung the whip around in another circle, knowing that when she reappeared she wouldn't have time dodge it again.

As planned, the whip hit her this time on the side of the face.

Teleporting was obviously her only plan, because she didn't know what to do about my constant whippings. The whip hit her 4 more times until she fell to the ground.

"Why can't I teleport anymore?!" Jen wailed in a panic, trying to teleport and not being able to.

Gwen laughed out loud when I told her why. "The whip was soaked in wolfsbane. Wolfsbane blocks Gifts."

Jen's face fell, and I could hear her heart stammering. Every time I had hit her with the whip and broken skin, the wolfsbane that coated the whip had gone into her body. Eventually, it was enough to where she was too weak to access her powers.

Jen crawled to the edge of the ring, right by where Thane was standing. "Thane, help! She's going to kill me!"

Thane gently shook his head. "I warned you that you would not be able to take her on. This was your own doing, Jennifer."

I felt pleased knowing that Thane had believed in me the whole time. Even Cain wasn't too confident in my abilities. Maybe after this he would trust that I am not to be fucked with.

Her head rolled to the floor as the rest of her body collapsed on to the ground lifelessly. Blood spurted out from her body all over my face and body.

The familiar rush I got from killing someone rushed over my body in a comforting wave.

Damn, I needed that.

"And you showed me hope, and it's eloquence in Spring"

The reactions to the beheading were very mixed. Thane looked at the scene somewhat sadly, but mostly was impassive. The Blue Moon members looked horrified, disgusted, and bewildered, whereas the Blood Lake pack members extended their necks towards me in submission and respect. Gwen gave me a thumbs up.

Cain, however, looked at me in... desire?

I have never been more attracted to you than I am right now, he mindlinked me, and his words shocked me. I was under the impression that he didn't like my violent tendencies.

Don't be so surprised, mate. You don't know the things I've done when you aren't around, He warned me, and I remembered that he has quite the reputation for being a bloody Alpha.
