h4Chapter 500: DEATH WARRANT/h4

    Hunter stood at his balcony watching over the clear grass and cold atmosphere.

    It had been almost a week since Jasmine had gone.

    He regretted letting her go.

    Just being around her.

    He felt and understood why they wanted her.

    He had grown to fall in love with her and sending her down to them would have been a death sentence to her.

    Or worse.

    Especially after the little he knew.

    He cursed under his breath as he knew that they needed to leave soon.

    Xaden woulde after he and his men soon in revenge.

    He hoped that one day he would meet Jasmine again.

    In much better circumstances.

    Even though he knew that it was most unlikely.

    Especially after the fact that he had signed his death warrant.

    Disobeying who had sent him to fetch her.

    He swallowed and gritted his teeth hard before taking in a deep breath.

    He heard some footsteps.

    He didn’t need to turn around to know that it was his most trusted wolf.

    Rygar.

    "The men have returned." Rygar told him.

    Hunter remained leaning over the balcony. "Did she return safe and sound?"

    Rygar nodded. "Yes. She did. But it’s only a matter of time before Xaden’s pack prepares to attack us."

    "We would be gone before then." Hunter said as he now leaned away from the balcony and turned to face Rygar.

    He strolled into the room and past Rygar.

    "We don’t run away from fight my lord." Rygar remarked. "We never have."

    "This isn’t running away." Hunger stated as his brown eyes glinted. "There is no need to fight Xaden and his men. That was not our intention anyway."

    Hunter took of hisrge fur coat and tossed it on the bed.

    "Will you allow me to ask you an important question?" Rygar asked him.

    "You’re free to." Hunter responded.

    "At first the n was to take siege of the crescent pack, but yet we attacked Xaden under the guise of being a rogue pack." Rygar said. "I never questioned your judgment. Your n worked and we drew her here. Why did you now let her go? Just when we now finally had her."

    "Did you notice Jasmine when you first saw her?" Hunter asked after a prolonged silence.

    He picked up a ss and poured himself wine.

    "The way she carried herself." He stated. "With no power and yet she was alluring. Never seen a woman like that. The most stupid thing I’ve ever done and yet courageous. What woman heavily with pup would risk her life to save the life of her mate. Even when she had nothing to offer."

    "I had assumed that after we had taken Xaden and used him as bait we wouldy siege to his pack before taking her ourselves. But she came here. Did something I’ve never seen any woman do." He said. "That’s why she is different."

    "But we had something to do." Rygar pointed out. "It’s not like you were in love with her."

    Hunger said nothing.

    He simply drank down his wine.

    Rygar blinked in absolute disbelief.

    "Sweet goddess. You’re in love with her." He said shocked.

    Hunter said nothing.

    "Our job was to bring her back and finally free our selves from the bond that we were trapped in. For how many years and yet yoy let her go?" Rygar asked shocked.

    "It wasn’t easy." Hunter said.

    Rygar rubbed his eyes and then his hands together before putting his hands on his waists.

    "Whatever was going to happen to her wasn’t going to be good." Hunter stated.

    "And that was truly none of our business to make. None." Rygar stated. "This was our door to freedom."

    "You can’t understand" Hunter said as he yed with his wine ss.

    "You’re right. I can’t understand." An anguished Rygar said. "I had thought maybe you had been given new instructions that’s why you let her go. But now hearing that you let her go because you had fallen in love with her. I can’t believe it."

    "Do you understand that you have signed a death warrant for you and all of us here?" Rygar said. "We could have finally paid our debt."

    "I’ll face the music alone." Hunter said. "You think I don’t know what I was doing."

    "For a woman that you just met?" Rygar said. "With all due respect as your gamma, I’m going to tell you nothing but the truth. Whatever actions you choose, is a deciding factor for the rest of us."

    Hunter sighed. "We pack our things up before night fall. Everything."

    "Where are we going to?" Rygar asked him.

    "Not we." Hunter said. "Just me. The rest of you would move and settle wherever you wish to."

    Rygar took a staggered step back.

    "Are you dismantling the pack?" Rygar asked stunned.

    "Yes." Hunter replied. "I meant every word of what I said. I will face the music alone. It was a decision I chose."

    "I’m not letting you do that." Rygar said standing in his way. "We’ve been together for years. If we are going to find a solution to this problem then we will, if we aren’t then we would face it together as a pack."

    "As your Alpha and Master, I order you and everyone else to find your way without me." Hunter said. "There is enough riches to be shared around. The pack and its people that we have ransacked would be left alone. It’s over Rygar."

    With that Hunter hugged Rygar in a friendly hug.

    And then when he let go, he walked to the side and headed out of the room.

    As he walked down the steps, he touched the ruby stone that he always held in his pocket.

    It was supposed to be his way back after he had seeded in his mission.

    He closed his eyes and tapped on it three times and disappeared.

    When he opened his eyes he found himself in an ancient court.

    A court that Haf existed for centuries.

    There were over three hundred well dressed guards.

    One fifty on the left and the other one fifty on the right while he stood in the middle of the aisle with that led to the throne.

    The massive throne that held its upant.

    He didn’t kneel as he was expected to.

    He knew that there was no point.

    He was already a dead man.

    "Where is my message?"

    He spat at the throne even though he was still far from it.

    In a split second his head that would have needed over twenty men to have pulled on before being decapitated fell tumbling to the ground in an instant.
