18. The End of An Alpha.

Crystal was hit over the head and woke up with Alex next to her. She was in her old room and she panicked as she looked over everything. She saw the woman who was supposed to be her mother in the corner.

"How could you let him?"

"I get the boy."

"He's my son."

"No, he belongs to Andrew now."

"Never."

Andrew walked in just then and told her to take the boy. Crystal watched in horror as her hands were tied behind her back and Alex was carried off. She struggled and yelled and cursed for her to bring back her son. Andrew smiled wickedly down at her.

"Trust me, you don't want him to see this."

Before she could answer, Andrew punched her in the gut and slapped her across the face. She spat blood in his face which made him angrier. He hit her in the jaw and she dropped. He began to kick her and was ready to beat her to death right there until he heard the commotion outside. He dragged her up and took her downstairs and saw Killian and the rest of his pack. He aw the look in Killian's eyes and brought Crystal out. He forced her on her knees and put a gun to her head. Killian stopped but that didn't matter to him. He pulled the trigger, but she moved and knocked him over. When he sat back up, he saw Aurora, Crystal's wolf. He tried to get inside but Aurora beat him inside and she went in search of her son. 

Killian gave the order and Monica slipped inside the house. Aurora was standing over Alex. Monica saw a dead woman on the floor. The wolf had mutilated her body and left her in shreds. Andrew was standing next to her and was looking daggers at the wolf. Monica slipped around them and behind the wolf and Aurora stepped further towards Andrew and Monica grabbed the boy. She looked him over and looked at the wolf.

"He is unharmed, Luna. I will take him home."

She saw Aurora nod her head and she left with Alex. Killian saw Monica take off in wolf form with a blanket wrap in her mouth. She had Alex; where was Crystal? He stormed inside after other packs had shown up. Babies and you'd children had been taken but others were slaughtered. Houses were burned and everything was in ruin. All except the packhouse. Killian stormed inside and found two wolves in battle. A white wolf, which he knew was Aurora, and a brown wolf; Andrew's wolf. The two were bloody and Killian watched in fear as the brown wolf knocked her out. Drake took over and towered over the small one. His solid black coat menacing enough to Atticus, but he wouldn't back down. Atticus tried to fight rake but it was a losing battle for him. Drake easily overpowered Atticus and Andrew had no choice but to shift back. As he did, Killian took him, prisoner. Jake gathered Crystal and carried her home. Killian brought Andrew right to the cells and chained him up.

"What are you going to do, Killian? Torture me?"

"Yes. For every little thing you have ever put my mate through."

Andrew stared after him as he walked away and headed for the hospital. Crystal laid unconscious on the bed and both kids were there with Monica, Brandy, and Jessica. They saw him walk in, still covered in blood. They dipped their heads and left, leaving the kids with them.

He sat down and Destiny climbed into his lap. Alex was placed on the bed and they waited for her to wake up. Dr. Browning walked in to deliver the bad news.

"Alpha. I'm afraid it's worse than expected. The Luna has slipped into a coma and I'm not sure when she will wake. I am so sorry."

She placed a hand on his shoulder and walked out. Brandy walked in with the others.

"Alpha, we can take the kids home. Get them cleaned up, fed, and into bed if you'd like?"

"Yes. Thank you, Brandy."

"Of course."

"Monica, they are not to leave your sight."

"They won't, Alpha."

"Good."

With a hollow look, Killian left the cells. He would take it on who deserved it. Andrew saw his look and feared he had killed her after all. 

"She's in a coma and they do not know when she will wake. Until she wakes, this your home."

"This cell?"

"Yes."

He shut the doors and looked at the laid out items. Torture items to be used on Andrew. Killian couldn't help himself and punched him in the middle of his face. Blood poured from his nose and ran down his face and chest. Andrew stared dagger sat him and as he moved to the table. He picked up a small knife and held it to Andrew's hand. He cut the insides of his fingertips and when he started screaming, he punched him in the face again.

"This is what you did to my queen, isn't it? She screams and you hit her."

He didn't let him answer a he went to the other hand and began taking his fingernails off. Andrew screamed for each one and the blood dripped down his arms. Killian sat down and Andrew still saw the hollowed out look in his eyes. Andrew gulped and tried to speak.

"Shouldn't you be with your kids?"

"What did you just say?"

Killian got up and stuck the knife into his side, being careful to miss any vessels. Andrew felt the pain and gasped as he pulled the knife out. Killian threw it to the side and went back to the table. He picked up a wood-burning wand and brought it over. He tore Andrew's shirt off and began writing on his chest which burned all the hair off of it. He began to burn through his skin and turned up the heat the more he screamed.

"All I can hear are her screams and her begging you to stop. It was the same when Caleb was here. The only difference is that she watched me kill him."

"That's why...you...are...leaving me...alive."

"Yes. I know she'll want to see you go."

"How....romantic."

"For her, I'd do anything."

He stuck the got end back into his chest and left it there until Andrew passed out from the pain. He threw it down and walked out, leaving someone to guard him. Aaron wouldn't;t leave unless his Luna told him.

Killian went to sit with Crystal and watched her breathe. She looked so peaceful but he knew in her head she was living a nightmare. He held her hand and rub her palm, hoping that it would it, someway, comfort her.  

Two weeks later, Crystal was still in a coma. Killian lost more and more of himself as her tortured Andrew. He was now missing all of his fingernails, two fingertips, and three fingers. He had parts of his skin missing and his face didn't even look like one anymore. Killian sat and just stared at him. He was the reason for all of his mate's pain. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Finally, he unchained him and left him laying on the floor. He told Aaron it would be a couple of days before he came back. He wanted Andrew to regain his strength before he beat him. Aaron nodded his head and prayed to the Moon Goddess that the Luna woke up soon. Killian was like a man possessed to end Andrew as slowly as possible. 

On the morning Killian was going to beat Andrew until he was almost dead, Crystal woke up. Killian was in the cell getting Andrew ready for his beating when Jake ran in.

"Alpha!"

"I told you not to disturbed me here."

"I know, Alpha, but she's awake."

Killian dropped and stared wide-eyed at him.

"When?"

"About an hour ago. I've been trying to find you since I found out."

Without another word, Killian dashed from the cell and up to the hospital. She was trying to sit up in the bed but didn't have the strength. Killian came over and gave her a supporting hand. She smiled up at him and he gave her a sincere smile.

"What's wrong?"

"I should've been here when you woke up."

"It's okay. I know where you were."

"You do?"

"You've mind-linked every time. I've seen all of it."

"I'm sorry."

"I'm not. But I will ask you to wait to do anything else."

"May I ask why?"

"I deserve a turn, don't you think?"

"Of course, my love."

A smile spread across both of their faces and he sat with her, holding her up. The doctor said it was the stress of being back, the possibility of losing her son, being back there, and few other stressors that caused her body to go into a coma to recover. She was weak from not being able to eat for three weeks, but the doctor said she would recover faster than normal. 

Andrew had not seen Killian in a week and started to wonder what happened. Aaron, the Delta, refused to tell him anything. He wasn't chained and he had his strength. He could escape and get away from here. Gather rouges and rebuild his pack and come back for her. As these thoughts coursed through his mind, he saw the Delta's face and heard something unbelievable.

"Thank Goddess you are okay. But are sure you should be down here, Luna?"

"I woke up a week ago, Aaron. I am fine."

"It's good to have you back, Luna."

"Thank you. Can I have a minute, please?"

"Of course, Luna. I'll be right outside if you need me."

Aaron walked away and met Killian outside.

"You agreed to let her be alone with him?"

"After what he's put her through, she deserves it."

Aaron nodded his head and stood with Killian until Crystal needed them.

Inside, Andrew just stared at her as she sat down.

"I thought for sure I killed you."

"If you had, you would be dead by now."

"Do you know what he had done to me?"

"Yes. I saw it every time."

"What?"

"He mind-linked me every time while I was in a coma."

"Why are you here?"

"Because it's my turn, Andrew."

"Your turn?"

"All my life, you tortured and beat me. It's my turn to return the favor."

"You can't."

"Killian! Aaron!"

Both men walked in and opened the cell. They held Andrew by his arms as she stood up and walked over. She extended her wolf claws and sliced his chest. She watched the blood ooze out of his cuts and he sneered at her.

"You know what he's done. Do better than that, sister."

"I plan on it."

The guys held him steady as she unbuckled his pants. He began to pale as he realized what she was doing.

"You can't do that. It's too cruel."

"Like everything you've ever done t me."

He felt like he had cotton in his mouth and the sickening fear set in. She was going to take his dick off. Once they down, she just stared at him and then it. She extended her claws once again and he realized why she slashed his chest; she judging her swing and the sharpness f her claws. She reared her hand back and met her target. It fell off in pieces as she kept slashing. He was in tears from the pain and the blood that ran through was covering the floor. She grabbed him by the throat and her claw dug into his neck.

"Now you can't hurt me like that. Now, I leave you to my mate. After all, you did take his son."

Killian and Aaron dropped him on the floor and Aaron walked out; unable to take the sight anymore. Crystal sat down and watched Killian as he there him from the walls, grabbing the back of his head and slamming it into the floor. He began to swing his fists in his face and the rest of him. He heard Andrew's bones snap and crack, but he didn't stop. Andrew laid limp on the floor, no more life left in him, and Killian stood up and walked home with Crystal. There was no longer a threat and his queen was safe. He had wiped out the Silver Moon Pack with the help of others. Other packs took the kids taken from there to be placed with families. He eliminated everyone that threatened his wife and his kids and he was finally at peace. The violence he committed was awful, but her, he'd do it again. He would raise Alex the same, but not to be cruel. He protected his family and he would raise Alex to know the difference between being protective and cruelty. Nothing like this would ever happen again and he just made sure of it.
