The Phoenix pulled away from the kiss. Roman growled.
"We need to stop", she said, trying to catch her breath.
He kissed her neck.
"What are you planning?", he asked, leaving another kiss on her neck.
"I can't tell you. They'll read your thoughts, it's why I had to push you out", she said, her eyes closing at Roman's lips against her throat.
His teeth scraped against her skin.
"I can help. We're your pack", he mumbled against her ear.
"Just trust me love", she whispered.
He nodded. The Phoenix could feel Wade trying to read her thoughts. Pushing away Roman with her gifts. He was stunned for a second.
"Don't come looking. Just sit tight", she said.
He nodded. She went to walk out.
"Where's Braun?", she asked.
"Locked away for what he did to you", Roman said.
She nodded. Getting outside, Wade and Sheamus had Braun on his knees. Roman past Nova.
"What are you doing?", Roman asked.
"If he sold her out to us, what makes you think he won't do it again. The Queen comes first", Wade said.
He took a knife out and slit Braun's throat. Abigail screamed, Corey holding her back.
"You said no one would get hurt", Roman shouted at Nova.
"No, I said you wouldn't get hurt. He sold me to them Roman. You were really going to let him live?", she said.
"We as a pack have a way of dealing with that. We were going to handle it", Roman said.
"By sending him to another pack, still leaving your Queen in danger", Wade said.
Roman swallowed.
"If you can't fall in line, maybe you should get on your knees now and let us slit your throat now, Alpha", Wade said.
"You would like that wouldn't you? Then you would get Nova, but I won't make it that easy for you and even if I wasn't here, she would never let you have her", Roman said.
"Is that a challenge?", Wade asked.
Roman smirked.
"Roman, don't", The Phoenix said.
"Maybe", Roman said.
"I accept", Wade said.
"No. I told you, he stays unharmed", The Phoenix said.
"But a challenge is a challenge", Wade said.
The Phoenix looked at Roman.
"You don't understand what you're doing", she said.
Roman placed his hand against her cheek.
"I vowed as your male, to protect you. That means accepting any challenge for your love.", he said.
"You still don't understand", she said softly.
Wade laughed, followed by the others.
"As our Queen, she vowed to accept any challenge against us. You have to fight her", Wade said.
Roman looked at her, taking a step back.
"No", he said.
"Its too late", Wade said.
Abigail looked towards Roman and Nova.
"You can't do that. Nova would win and Roman would", she couldn't finish her sentence.
"Consequences", Finn reminded her.
Becky jumped at her and punched her twice. Pulling Abigail by her shirt.
"You did this, you idiot", Becky yelled in Abigail's face.
Abigail shook her head quickly.
"This isn't what I wanted", Abigail cried.
"I won't do it", Roman said.
"Then your pack belongs to us", Wade said.
"You give up your right as Alpha?", Alberto asked.
Roman swallowed. His eyes stayed connected with Nova's.
"Yes", he said softly.
"I won't let you do that", Nova said.
"He has no choice. We discussed this Phoenix, if they don't like our ways they die.", Rusev said.
"He's my mate", The Phoenix said.
"He's your last weakness. Kill him and you'll be unstoppable", Wade said.
"Don't listen to him Nova.", Abigail yelled.
Finn had taken Becky off of her.
"Without Roman, without your mate you are the one that's weak. He wants you to get his threats out of the way and then kill you. He knows Roman would stop him.", Abigail yelled.
She stood and looked towards Braun.
"I'm sorry. This is all my fault. He's not going to let Roman's pack live. Once you turn your back, he's going to kill them.", Abigail said.
Nova turned towards The Druids.
"She's a liar. You told me yourself that all she does is lie", Wade said.
He looked at Alberto.
"Grab the girl", Wade said.
Alberto nodded and walked towards Abigail.
"I'm sorry Nova, for all the pain I've caused you. This isn't suppose to happen.", Abigail cried.
"I forgive you", The Phoenix said.
Abigail nodded.
"Stop", The Phoenix demanded.
Alberto did as he was told. He fought through it and looked at Wade. Wade stood beside Nova.
"She's a threat, just like this pack is. If you allow her", she turned towards him.
"I didn't realize I had to listen to you", she said.
"It's just a suggestion", Wade said.
"I don't agree with it. Roman and his pack, stay unharmed", she said.
Wade didn't like this, but agreed. Abigail sat beside Braun's body, placing her hand on his chest.
"I don't want to do this anymore. Please change it back", she begged.
Wade looked at Sheamus. Each man boxing Nova in. She looked around her.
"If you won't do as we ask, we'll force you", Wade said.
They started chanting in Latin. Finn recognized it as a way to control her Phoenix.
"No", he shouted.
He tried to use his own chants, but Druids were smart, he knew they would cover their tracks.
"What's happening?", Roman asked.
"It's a sacred chant, it's to control her. She'll have no control", Finn said.
Roman tried to push himself into the center to get Nova out, but there was some kind of invisible force.
"Nova, don't listen to them. Ignore it", Roman yelled.
To Nova it felt like she was suffocating. Dean and Seth tried to help Roman get through. Finn did the same. Becky tried screaming, but nothing worked. Finally, Dean got through. The chants stopped. He looked up at Nova.
"Darlin?", he asked softly.
He grabbed her wrist and she grabbed his throat with her free hand. She was squeezing harder and harder.
"Kill him", Wade demanded.
She did, snapping his neck quickly. Dean's lifeless body fell to the floor. Roman fell to his knees.
"No", he said softly.
His best friend was dead. Wade stepped beside Nova. Roman noticed as her eyes were completely black.
"Nova", Becky called.
Finn stopped her.
"Don't, she's gone", Finn said.
Wade smirked.
"Destroy it, everything. Burn it down", Wade demanded.
They watched as everything caught on fire. Burning homes and the rest of the pack running for the safety of the woods. Roman couldn't take his eyes off Dean.
"I'm sorry", he whispered to his best friend.
"Becky, grab as many people as you can and take them to the human world. They'll be safe there", Finn said.
She nodded. Finn tried to help Roman stand. Seth did the same.
"We have to go Roman, now", Finn said.
"She killed him", Roman kept repeating.
"That's not Nova. Nova is gone", Finn said.
Roman watched as his home burned to the ground. It was dark and cloudy.
"Then we have to kill her", Roman mumbled.
"We can't Rome", Seth said.
Roman pulled away from them.
"My Hellhound", Roman said.
"You do realize she can kill you", Finn said, trying to stop him.
Roman let his hound out. He approached Nova and she turned on him. He stopped her hand before it could push through his chest.
"Come back to me", he said.
She pushed him away, but he planted his feet to the ground, pushing back. She was strong, but so was he.
"I don't want to hurt you, but if I have too I will", he growled.
His body catching on fire, covering him from head to toe.
"Hummingbird, come back to me damn it", the Hellhound growled.
Wade laughed.
"She's gone Alpha. No more of the woman you knew is left", Wade said.
"I refuse to believe that. Do you hear me Nova, I refuse to let you go", Roman shouted.
"You can't let this continue", Abigail shouted.
"This is your fault to begin with, so don't come crying to us that we shouldn't let this continue. You. Did. This", Becky said to Abigail.
"Forgive me", The Hellhound said.
Still holding Nova's wrist, he twisted it and she screamed. He moved behind her, one hand against her throat.
"Forgive me", he whispered to her again.
"No", Becky shouted, Finn stopped her.
She knew what Roman was about to do. His tears fell as he closed his hand against her throat. Seth tried to stop him as well, Baron and Corey stopped Seth. Holding him down.
"No", he shouted.
"He told us too Gamma", Corey explained.
"Roman don't", Seth shouted.
Roman could hear her heart slow, till the beats finally stopped and she didn't struggle. Sting appeared in front of him and placed his hand on him and before Roman knew it. They were in a cave. Sting held Nova in his arms. He set her down.
"What did you do?", Roman asked.
He could feel something inside him snap. Like a bond had been broken.
"You killed her", Sting said.
Roman took Nova from him and checked for a pulse himself. There was none. He cried and rocked her in his arms.
"I'm sorry, I had too, forgive me", he kept repeating.
Sting looked at Boogeyman.
"You can fix this, right? You can put everything back together? You can bring her back to me?", Roman yelled at Boogeyman.
He nodded.
"That's why we brought you here", he said.
"Then do it, whatever you want I'll give. My soul, is that what you want?", Roman asked.
"We don't want anything", Sting said.
Roman kissed Nova's head before he completely blacked out.
