The Alpha and The Vigilante novel Chapter 87

Axel released Katrina, who had relaxed after I made the oath, but still glared at me. Jax walked over to Axel willingly, accepting his fate.

"This is for Carter," Axel grunted, and transformed his fist into metal. He punched Jax so hard in the sternum with his metal fist that I could hear every bone shatter. Axel sent another punch into his skull, knocking him out, but not killing him. He knew that the privilege of killing him was mine, and mine alone.

"Surrender, Wilson. It's over," I snarled at him, my wolf threatening to come out. It took every ounce of self control not to pounce on him.

Wilson sickly grinned at me. "Fuck no, it's not. If you take one step closer to me, I'll kill your pup."

I frowned. "Don't call her a pup. She's my mate." Calling her pup was my nickname only. I didn't take too kindly to other wolves using the term towards her condescendingly. I used it as a term of endearment, and I knew that Ares liked it. She would have threatened to stab me every time I called her it if she truly didn't like it.

Wilson laughed evilly. "You idiot. You are a weaker Alpha than I thought. Can you not hear it?"

I narrowed my eyes at him, and listened to understand what he was referring too. Again, I heard the faint little tapping in addition to Ares' heartbeat.

A pup.

My pup.

Our pup.

My face twisted in shock. Katrina and Axel gasped. Ares was pregnant with our pup, this sick fuck knew, and he still beat her within an inch of her life.

He laughed gleefully at my reaction. He moved the knife from her neck to her stomach. "Swear to the Moon Goddess that you'll let me leave the house without pursuing me."

"No," I whispered, looking at my mate, who barely looked conscious.

Wilson shrugged. "Say goodbye to your offspring then." He moved the knife closer, making me yell out.

"Fuck! Fine! I swear to the Moon Goddess that I will let you leave the house without pursuing you if you leave right this second." I made the oath, having no choice but to let him escape.

"Good doing business with you, Alpha. Don't worry, I'll come back someday to finish the job," He winked at me before darting out of the cellar.

"Should I go after him?" Axel frantically inquired.

"No," I whispered. "It's an oath to the Moon Goddess. We would be punished more severely by her if we broke it."
