183-The Lost Soul Of Helel
I was dragged into my room after I started causing a ruckus. I couldn't let the guards in and take away Helel. His brothers were also debating and questioning their father, who stood silently in the corner and watched Helel being dragged out like a criminal.
"Look what you have done." My mother hadn't stopped pacing from one corner of the room to the other.
"I cannot let them punish him, mom!" I had been sitting on the floor, crying my heart out for Helel.
"Screw him. We are fucked, too. You should worry about yourself now," mom stopped and slapped my head, 'He is anyway doomed. They are beating him in front of the whole pack to get answers from him. I don't think he will survive such silver bullets and wolfbane.* The moment my mother told me what they had been doing to Helel, I lost it.
I got up from the floor and ran over to the window to see what was going on in the garden.
"Don't open the window," my mother approached me and scolded me. The window was preventing the noises from penetrating our ears.
I watched the pack members and the councilors surround him while the guards shot bullets at him, making sure they didn't hit him in the head or heart. It was just to cause him pain.
"He is not telling them where he left Colt," mom nervously mumbled from behind me.
Helel had big chains around his neck, which the guards would pull around and make him fall to the ground.
The brothers didn't come out as they couldn't see him in such a state.
After Lord Vasquez told the pack what Helel had done, there was no point in trying to keep him in the mansion. Everybody knew no one was going to respect Helel anymore.
"Mom! Please help him somehow," I was crying and whimpering, watching him get humiliated and go through so much pain.
"He is forbidden from ever setting a foot in this pack. His pack has been given over to Flynn. As for us, you better start learning to apologize. Get in Lord Vasquez's feet or provide yourself to the brothers to beg for mercy. What they are doing to him is nothing compared to what they will do to you." Mom's words didn't scare me. The sight before my eyes was enough to rip my heart out of my chest.
A knock on the door made my mother pull me away from the window. I changed into a white dress after returning to the room. I was just suffocating in those tights.
Every color was making me vomit out blood, the same color blood they were making Helel bleed.
"Who is this?" my mom asked instead of opening the door.
I walked back in the direction of the window and found an evil, scary sight. Helel's body was lumped over to one side while the guards were listening to the directions from Lord Vasquez. "Mom! They killed him?" I asked in gasps, cleaning my eyes so that my blurred vision could be taken care of.
"Mom!" I whimpered, slamming my hand on the window, and started crying when the guard tugged at his lifeless body. He was pulling him behind him with the six-foot-long chain around his neck. The way Helel's body looked like it had no bones and no life left made me crumble down on my knees.
"Ahhh!* I screamed as I scratched my face helplessly. I wish I hadn't taken the pills. I would not have thought twice before transitioning and ending every living thing.
"We are here for Beatrice," the guard from outside my room yelled.
"What for?" my mother asked shakily.
"You will know. Just open the door. It's lord Vasquez's orders to bring her and present before him this very instant," the guard knocked harder this time.
My vision had turned completely dark. My throat was dry, as if I was losing my life, too. They had taken Helel's dead body very disrespectfully.
Mom told me they will torture him until he dies and then throw him in the woods for the animals to feed on him. That humiliation he endured for me left me dead.
I couldn't take it anymore. I got on my feet and ran past my mother to open the door. Helel didn't deserve this ending. It was all my fault. I should be punished. "What are - Mom came after me, but it was too late. I have already let the guard in. He grabbed my arm, expecting I would put up a fight, but I didn't.
I just wanted them to punish me so badly that the pain would make me forget about Helel.
As soon as I was dragged into the living room, Sofia lunged at me and slapped me to the ground.
"You ate my son." She sat on top of me and started punching me.
I was crying, but it wasn't because of the pain.
But because of Helel.
I realized today what I'd done when I didn't choose him. I drove him to the path where he only wanted to prove to me that he loves me more than anyone else, and he did.
He saved Colt.
He confessed in front of his whole family and pack that he loves me. Nobody else, not even Maddox, had the guts to say it out loud.
"Mom!" Akin's fading voice hit my eardrums as he pulled his mother away from me.
I quickly ran a glance around and noticed Zane wasn't around. Maddox was sitting on the floor in the corner with Helel's shirt in his lap. He wasn't even blinking.
"This slut will get what she deserves. She will realize what she has done when every man in the pack will fuck her to quench her thirst." Lord Vasquez approached me and kicked me just as I was about to get on my feet.
"Dad!* Akin left his mother and ran to control his father. My mom was being held by the guards, preventing her from approaching me.
"I announce her to be public property," Lord Vasquez yelled, deciding my fate.
