235 Her Partner
[Edward’s P.O.V.]
“Oh, my God,” said Rose.
“What’s wrong?” asked I.
“Agatha, just told me who their mate is,” said she with eyes filled with mixed emotions. Then, she turned back to Emily again.
“All this time, your mate has always been right in front of you but you have never considered his feelings!”
“I don’t want him! I want Edward! That mate is not good enough for me!”
“He hasn’t even accepted your rejection,” said Rose which made all of us stare at her.
“Dearest, what do you mean?”
“Is it a member of the pack?” asked Alonso and Rose turned sad.
“It’s someone we’re familiar with, very familiar.”
“What? Who is it?” asked I.
“It’s Dylan.”
I immediately took out my phone and asked Patrick to bring Dylan to the dungeon.
“No, no, I... I don’t want to see... him.” Emily had curled up on the floor, gradually losing consciousness from the blood loss. “He’s not my mate. I’ve... I’ve already rejected him.”
“We’re not doing this for you. We’re doing it for Dylan. He needs closure,” said I to her.
A few minutes later, Patrick arrived with Dylan. They bowed with respect at me before walking in.
“Alpha, and... Luna?!”
“Oh, shit” Obviously, we had forgotten that Rose had removed her disguise.
“We’ll talk about it later, Dylan,” said I to him with my Alpha tone, hinting that he should not tell anyone else about this.
“I understand, Alpha.” His eyes were already filled with sadness when he saw the situation.
“So, is this true? Dylan, is Emily your mate?”
“Yes, Alpha.” He looked at me.
“Why have you never said anything to me?”
“With all due respect, Alpha, this is between me and her, not you.”
“True,” said I. I allowed Dylan to approach Emily and he knelt next to her.
Everyone could see the pain and hurt in his eyes. Even after everything she had done and after what she had become, he still cared for her.
“B*tch, you had always had a mate who loved you but you threw him away like he was nothing. You did so many evil things, even killing a few people because of your selfishness. You are as stubborn and stupid as Eve. If you had simply accepted your mate, all of this could have been avoided, but you didn’t,” said Patrick to Emily.
“Alpha, before she’s executed, can I speak to her?” asked Dylan. I nodded and all of us stepped back.
Dylan gently caressed Emily’s cheek. Even though she was covered in blood, one of her legs was missing, and her body was covered in wounds, he still looked lovingly at her. He still thought her beautiful.
“Emily, you’ve done too many wrong things, but I forgive you for what happened between the two of us. I will still love you till the end,” said he. Then, he bent down and gently kissed Emily’s forehead.
“Emily B. Goodall, I, Dylan Cerus, accept your rejection.” After saying this, Dylan stood up. I saw the tears in his eyes. I had never seen my chief guard like this before and I truly felt sorry for him.
“Alpha, don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone what I saw here,” said he to me as he walked past me. He bowed to me once again before walking towards the exit of the dungeon. We waited for a minute until we heard the door close.
I saw Rose’s tears welling up in her eyes for Dylan. This wall-like man knew some of our plans and some of the truth, but he had never protected a sinner because of his personal feelings even when he knew the result of our plans would tear his heart out. I hadn’t been wrong about him. He was a loyal and righteous man through and through.
“Emily,” said Rose as she walked to the woman on the floor. “You could have had a mate who loved cherished you. You could have lived happily together, but you chose to sin and be greedy instead. Your actions have hurt many people. You don’t deserve happiness and love.” Emily was twitching on the ground by now. I couldn’t even read her eyes anymore.
“I hope you and your wolf can be reborn, cherish your souls, and live a better life next time.” And with a quick flick of Rose’s wrist, she snapped Emily’s neck.
Another one of our enemies had fallen. Now, there was only one left.
The strange Werewolf of Chaos who surrendered to the council, Nicholas’ accomplice, Frankie.
