My Alpha, My Demise 57
Jude’s POVI walk through the dim corridor all the way to the last cell where James has been kept for the past four days.I take the key to his cell door from the hook it was hanged on in the stone wall next to his cell.As soon as he sees me, he gets up and casts his eyes down.Ian filled him up to speed and he knew exactly what I was coming here for.I haven’t seen him since I sentenced him to be imprisoned here. He was already a very fragile thin man, and when I took a look at him now, he seemed even more scrawny than before.I frequently checked on him through Ian, and he said he was giving him three meals a day, but he was barely finishing half his portions.His fear of me and regret for his actions were taking their toll on his health and appetite.“How are you doing James?” I asked gently.He kept his head bent down as he said solemnly “Better than I deserve, alpha”“It will all be over in two hours James, I instructed Ian to bring back your daughter and her husband here with h
My Alpha, My Demise 58
Jude’s POV The seconds felt like minutes as I waited for the first sign of them to appear. “They have landed three kilometers away from you, but they are headed your way” Ethan said calmly. “Engage” I mind linked Robert and Ian. A few minutes later, I could hear their footsteps approaching in a steady fast pace. But when they caught sight of us, they stopped dead in their tracks. Shock written all over their faces. I identified that prick Chase right away. He was leading the group, and from Davina’s description of his appearance, he seemed to be the one. He was also the shocked of them all, and in three seconds, that shock turned to utter fury and rage at being played out so stupidly. Elijah kicked off on my remark and headed directly towards him, and so did the other fighters. We had to take advantage of our element of surprise. And that element increased ten folds when they bent their bodies to prepare for shifting, only to realize they couldn’t. My bond with Davina register
My Alpha, My Demise 59
Davina’s POV I practically run out of the IT office where I was standing for the last half hour, my heart up in my throat from the frantic wariness and immense fear that whole time. Watching the fight go down. Unable to do anything but witness, I felt so scared. Watching and feeling the pain that shot through Jude as he was stabbed in the back was excruciating. I thought my heart was going to explode out of my chest, I thought the prophecy was about to come true and Jude was going to meet his downfall at that moment. It took every ounce of will power within me to stand my ground and not go running after them. I knew Chase was running away to get himself out of the border. Somehow, he figured that a spell was preventing him from shifting. I knew that if Chase was able to shift and Jude went running after him, the odds wouldn’t be in Jude’s favor. Jude was very strong but he was also deeply hurt, and I didn’t know if Chase was good or not. I didn’t want to find out either. I was a

Jude’s POV“Dude, I know you even more than I know myself, there is something you and Robert are obviously hiding. Spell it” I mind linked him tightly.We were all standing in the middle of the corridor outside Irena’s room waiting for her doctors to come out with a report of her health condition.As soon as I said to Ian that he seemed off, his eyes flickered briefly to Davina, while Robert seemed to stiffen.There was something involving Davina, and he didn’t want to speak up in front of her, and that’s why I began my interrogation through the privacy of our mind link.He looked at me in a troubled expression and said tightly; between us, “Later Jude please!”I watched him storm off towards the exit of the hospital, and I was half inclined to go chase after him, but I thought better of it and decided to stick with Davina instead.In all my years since knowing Ian, he never seemed so troubled except when he was dealing with my possible death and the aftermath of what he did to Davina
My Alpha, My Demise 61
Jude’s POVIt took me a few seconds to comprehend what he said, a few more seconds to comprehend why the hell he said it like it was a death sentence instead of a blessing he had been looking for ever since his wolf awakened, and a few; or more than a few, seconds to find my voice again.“And why the hell are you acting like it’s the end of the world?” I chastised.I already anticipated his answer, but wanted to hear it directly from him, I wanted to know what he was thinking of exactly, and whether it was the same answer I was expecting from him or not.He looked at me with complete misery “I can’t believe you just asked me that! You know damn well why! Because it is! Where should I start? The fact that she’s Davina’s sister? You know, your mate? The one I tortured non stop for two days in order to save you? The one who kept her mouth shut and never begged or given up to the pain I caused her to keep her sister alive? Do you know what that means Jude? I was trying to kill my own mate
My Alpha, My Demise 62
Davina’s POVI proceeded to tell Irena a clean short version of what happened after I left her that night all the way to the moment Ian and Robert saved her.I didn’t mention that Jude tried to tear out my heart at first sight nor about the prophecy behind it. I didn’t tell her about my suffering the first two days here. I didn’t tell her that Jude vowed to make me pay for trying to kill him and even tried to assert that vow by whipping me at first, before believing my story and my reason for doing what I tried to do. I didn’t tell her about the second spy I was able to identify nor the fact that he wasn’t a spy at all but our own father. I didn’t tell her about my warlock side nor the prophecy that tore our family apart the second we were born.Yeah, I barely told her anything. While the real story would have taken me thirty minutes to finish, this version barely took seven minutes.“I’m so sorry it took some time to save you. I was frantic with worry about you all the time. I would
My Alpha, My Demise 63
Davina’s POV My response was automatic and came out of my mouth naturally in disbelief “Shut the fuck up” I looked between them all as the reality of what he just said started to set in. I ended up staring blankly at the floor and coming to terms with that sick twisted turn of fate. Could the moon goddess have a better sense of humor than that? I’d guess not. Out of all the people in this wide fucking world, she had to bring the person I hated the most now; after Chase, the person I can barely look at without having my blood boil from hatred, and my mind always unwillingly slipping to the painful memories he forever etched into my brain, and mate him with the closest person to my soul? Why? Just why did it have to be Ian? Why did that happen, when I was barely just starting to get used to the fact that he will always be present in my life because of his closeness to Jude? When I barely got a tight grip on my emotions and my mouth whenever we had an encounter together. When I ke
My Alpha, My Demise 64
Jude’s POVI could both feel and see how tense and angry Davina was by the news about Ian and Irena.For a split second, I thought she was going to say everything to her sister and ruin any chances of Ian and his mate to ever seal that mate bond.Somehow, she held her tongue. But that didn’t stop her from throwing a few slicing words to Ian through the mind link.I had no idea what was on her mind now, as we all followed her outside of the hospital’s sliding door and stood at its entrance out in the open.It was almost eleven in the morning and the sun was partially obscured by the cover of clouds decorating the sky today. It was also windy as I saw Davina’s hair drifting with the wind.When we were on the other side of the hospital building, she finally turned towards us and openly glared.Mostly her glare was directed towards Ian but me and Robert also got a few seconds of it and I knew exactly why.Her next words only confirmed it.“Why the hell did any of you think it was wise to
