I stared at the gun, my heart racing with adrenaline. I swallowed and focused myself on Owen. His eyes were wide and crazy, showing nothing but jealousy, desire, lust, and hatred.
"Why did you reject her?" Owen asked calmly.
Hades clenched his jaw, "She didn't deserve someone like me."
"Someone like you?"
"Yes, a dangerous..." He trailed off and shook his head. "Get to the point of all of this, Owen."
The man before me tightened his grip on the gun, tears ran down his cheeks. "Remember that night? The night you murdered my mate?"
I gaped at Hades, he killed Owen's mate. Surely he had a good reason, right?
Hades nodded, "She deserved it."
"She deserved it." Owen scoffed. "She was doing the right thing, ending your horrible existence. Why did you kill her?"
"Like I said, she deserved it. She tried killing me, the rules-
"I know what the damn rules are, idiot!" Owen spat. "She only held the knife, she didn't strike!"
"She was about to and when she did I snapped her neck."
"You didn't give her a fair trial, why?"
Hades sighed, "I had a crazy ass woman lunging at me with a silver knife and you're asking me why I didn't give her a fair trial? You can't have a trial with a dead person."
Owen's eyes were black, "You took the love of my life from me." He stated coldly.
"I wouldn't have if she-
"YES YOU WOULD! Now I'm going to take your's."
I didn't have time to process it all; Hades shoved me onto the ground before I even saw him pull the trigger. When I was out of my daze I screamed.
Hades was laying on the ground with a bullet wound near his heart. Owen walked over and held up the gun again, before he could shoot I grabbed his wrist and pointed the gun at him.
"Say hey to your mate for me." I snarled before forcing him to pull the trigger.
The bullet went right between his eyes and through his skull. He fell to the ground, limp and non breathing.
I turned towards Hades and knelt beside him, gently laying his head in my lap. His eyes were wide as he looked at me, blood trickling down the side of his mouth.
Blood soaked his shirt and started to form a puddle on the ground; Hades turned towards me. Tears ran down his cheeks as he tried saying something.
"Hey, shhhh, you're okay." I whispered soothingly.
I screamed for help, hoping the pack could hear me through the trees. I was rewarded with howls and sighed in relief. However, as Hades started to close his eyes, I cupped his face.
"Hey, baby, stay with me! Please!" I begged him, my own tears streaming down my face.
"I-I'm s-s-sorry." He coughed. "I-I love..."
He never finished as his eyes closed. I sobbed loudly and applied more pressure on the wound as wolves surrounded me. Jackson tried prying me off, but I couldn't leave him.
"HADES!"
