Chapter Ten

494 stood face to face with his mates killer and all he could think about was how much he missed her. He ached for her and even death couldn't change that.

"You are going to pay for what you did." He told the other man as he walked forward his hands shaking in unexpressed rage. He knew that he would never be able to be the same after this night but he didn't want to be. To be the same would mean that he was with Max and that would never be happening again because of this he wasn't willing to change anything that he was about to do.

"Now, Now 494 you might want to be careful with what you say you are going to do." The familiar simply informed him as he picked the phone up dialing a speed-dial number he paused waiting for someone on the other line to pick up. A feral grin spread across 494s face.

"They won't be answering." He replied calmly as he walked closer and closer to the man on the other side of the room. He was only a few feet away he was going to make this last all night if he could. This man was going to pay in the worse way possible.

Max bit back a moan as she rolled onto her side. She looked around the room and she couldn't sense Alec. A moment of terror flooded over her and she felt her body tighten up in pain at the thought of having lost him after finally finding him. She didn't want to chance it yet she pushed herself to her knees she felt poison from the bite flooding threw her system and she knew that without help she wouldn't have a lot of time left and she had to get up and start moving before it was to late.

She had to save Alec's soul if not his body. One way or another she would save him in body or soul, she could only hope that it was both and she didn't lose the other half.

494 grinned as he stood over the man that once held a special place in his nightmares before this day he had tormented him while he was awake or asleep. Neither state mattered as he was always just a few moments away always twisting the best dreams into the worse states of nightmares that existed. Now, he lay before him a bloody and broken.

The man they had once called White was now nothing but a pathetic shell of what he was. 494 reached down pulling him up by his shirt tails.

"I once was afraid of you." He whispered into his ear. "But then you did something that set me free. You did the one thing backfired on you. You killed her. And now you will pay for it." Wrapping his arms around the man he grinned ferociously as he twisted. A loud snap filled the room and Alec dropped the lifeless body of his once greatest enemy at his feet.

"I hope it was worth it for you. It was for me." He simply stated to the corpse at his feet.

Max had never felt so weak. She had made it two steps before collapsing onto the floor. Gasping for breath she fought against the urge to cry but it over came her as the tears burst threw her shield and began to pour over her checks. She lost and in doing so she lost Alec and everything that really mattered to her. Rolling onto her back she sighed her breathing slowing. She closed her eyes. She would just rest for a moment and then she would get up again and try again. Maybe in a few moments she will have enough strength to get into the hall. That would help. Yes, she would just take a short nap.

The teams were waiting for the right moment to strike they had to be careful or nothing would go as planned. So they waited, and waited. Their leaders were inside that building but all they could do was sit and wait until the order was given. After all they were soldiers.

494 could smell her before he saw her. She had a distinct smell, something that reminded him of freshly cut wood and honey. It was a smell that was just her; he had never met someone that had smelt like that other then her. He loved that smell; it made him ache that he might never smell that again after this day.

Walking into the room that held her body like a coffin. He wanted to scream but had to fight against the urge he knew what would happen and right now he just wanted to get her body out of here. He knew just were she would want to be lied to rest.

Biggs knew that he was in over his head the moment that Alec came out the door of the building carrying a limp and motionless body, of their leader. Max was lifeless in his arms and there was nothing in the world that Biggs could say or do to help matters at this moment. He watched as the alpha male walked closer. He knew that he was almost all lost and all that was going threw his head at this moment was how he could have moved a little faster, been a little stronger. He was reliving the worst moment in his life over and over again and there was nothing that he could do other then stand beside him and help him threw it.

"Oh, my god." Ce-ce Whispered as she slide beside Biggs. "How is that possible?" She asked looking over at the doomed lovers.

"What do you mean?" he snarled at her. "People die everyday." He stated as his eyes meet Alec pain filled ones.

"She's not dead. Not yet." Ce-ce informed him as she watched them closely. "But, Biggs she's close. We have to help her."
