Rogue

Chapter 28: Ambrose's Demand

———B E N E D I C T———

Sensitive topics are discussed in this chapter!!!

The ride to the pack house was tense.

Asher was sitting quietly in his seat, his hands shoved under his thighs as he stared out the window.

His hair was squirming in the wind, some of the strands crossing and tangling with the others as I drove with the windows completely rolled down.

I noticed that he had a worried look plastered on his face whenever I turned my head so I could see him. His lips were pressed tightly together as he stared out the window with furrowed eyebrows, his worried expression cute but causing my stomach to fill to the brim with anxiety.

My eyes were planted on the road as I drove, trying to mind-link members of my pack but coming up empty.

I had blocked everyone from being able to mind-link me while I was with Asher on the date I asked him on, now regretting the decision I had made because no one was answering me when I tried to contact them.

Beatrix wouldn't answer me either, my mouth going dry from worry after I realized I was being blocked from being able to communicate with her when I tried to mind-link her numerous times, coming up empty every time.

My driving could be considered completely deranged as I flew through the streets, passing other cars in the process.

I was driving like a crazy person as I tried to determine what was happening at the pack house, Beatrix's worried tone stuck in my head.

She sounded so scared, like something was happening at the pack house that could severally damage everyone's lives.

Asher and I were both silent and sitting on the edge of our seats, our hands far away from each other's as I directed my car through the traffic.

I noticed he had started to bounce his leg up and down, my wolf begging for me to comfort him but my lips refusing to open to say comforting words.

We went without touching, our minds too muddled and filled with worry to notice our wolves begging us to touch each other. My mouth was clamped shut and both of my hands were stuck on the steering wheel unlike when we were driving to the restaurant, both of us talking about anything and everything while we held each other's hands the whole car-ride.

The ride seemed longer than how it was before. Before, when we were driving to the restaurant, it seemed like 30 minutes of bliss. Now it seemed like a million hours of complete torture.

When we were close enough to be able to see the pack-house, my car was immediately driven to the front of the house.

I turned the car off, not bothering to roll up the windows before rushing to Asher's side of the car.

He was already rushing to get out of the car when I reached his side, his eyes darting to me when he shut his door.

I grabbed his hand, tangling our fingers together before pulling him to the door of the pack-house.

I held his hand tightly, pushing the door open before stepping into the house with Asher soon following.

My eyes widened slightly when I realized the house smelt of blood, my hand tightening around Asher's so tightly that he winced.

I stared in front of me, my feet stopping in my spot inches away from the doorframe.

" A lot can happen in 30 minutes, you know? " A man smirked as he leaned against the stairs railing, my sister crying in his arms.

She was wrapped in silver, bruises covering her naked body as blood ran down various parts of her body.

" This little bitch decided to call and tell on me to her brother the second my rogues started attacking so I found it only fit to punish her " The man smirked, my sister whimpering as he pulled a knife out of his pocket.

" She's familiar with this " He laughed, holding up the blood covered knife.

" Let her go " I growled out, letting go of Asher's hand before pushing him behind me.

The door was still open, air hitting my backside as the man tortured my little sister.

Tears were streaming down her cheeks as she stared at me with pleading eyes, the man cutting a long stripe up her torso.

" Don't you want to ask me what I'm here for? " He smirked at me, tilting his head to the side slightly.

I growled at him, my hands tightening into fists at my sides.

" Fine, if you don't want to communicate... I'll just make scars on your little bitch here " He laughed out, moving the knife from my sister's torso to her arm before dragging it through her battered skin.

" ...Fine, why are you here? " I asked, my ears picking up on the man's rogues fighting my pack members in the distance.

" See, I was quite close to Jacob " He paused before smiling at me with a terrifying expression placed on his face " You know, before you killed him so... I'm here for revenge. My name is Ambrose by the way " He smiled at me before plunging the knife into my sister's arm.

She let out a loud cry, her knees weakening as tears poured from her eyes.

" Or you could do whatever I ask of you so I stop hurting this whore " He laughed before continuing " But as I've said before, a lot can happen in 30 minutes so she's already been through a bit. She's watched some of her friends be killed, which she cried like a baby at. It was pretty funny actually. Anyway, I fucked her, then got some of my mates to fuck her so she's been doing some whorish shit. I mean, what was it? 8 guys? Fucking whore " He spoke, his laughter disgusting.

I watched as my sister cried as Ambrose shoved the knife further into her arm, my heart sinking as I watched my sister be forced to be dragged through pain she didn't deserve.

" I will do anything you want. J-Just let Beatrix go " My voice was weak as I spoke, Ambrose laughing when he heard my tone.

" She even has a whorish name but fine " He scoffed, pushing Beatrix towards me.

She fell into me, the silver burning my skin as her body collied with mine.

I hurried to unwrap the silver from her limbs, her body limp against mine as I untangled the silver from her body.

" Now time for my payment " Ambrose smirked as I pulled off my shirt, pulling it over Beatrix's head so she didn't feel so violated.

The shirt stopped at her upper thighs, her body still bleeding and bruised as she tried to hide in my arms.

" What do you want? " I asked, wrapping my sister in my arms. I tried to shield her from the world, her body shaking as I tried to hide her from Ambrose.

" I want to kill someone you love, just like how you killed someone I loved. Him " He pointed behind me, my eyes widening as I watched Ambrose stare at me with murderous eyes.
