Chapter 73: Chapter 73

73

Dream

Dante.

I slowly opened my eyes and shut them quickly as they were hit directly by the heavy sunlight.

I slowly opened them back, and I looked around to see that I was lying on the floor in a large grassland.

What the fuck?!

I quickly stood up and I dusted the sand off my arms and my clothes.

Where the hell am I and how did I get here?

The last thing I remember was when we were in that building. Natasha drove her hand into Javier's chest and he was unable to move.

I could see Natasha hesitate to pull her hand out. It was obvious that she couldn't bring herself to kill him so I quickly stepped forward and I pulled her elbow, forcing her to yank out Javier's heart.

I felt so victorious at that time, but I became dizzy all of a sudden and the next thing was darkness.

So how did I get here and where was everyone here.

I began to hear loud noises and I slowly walked in the direction of the sound.

There was some sort of square up ahead and there was a large crowd there. The square looked familiar. It was a square at the Gemini Pack.

People were cheering loudly and angrily and they gathered around somebody I couldn't see because of everyone blocking my view.

I felt attracted to the person they all gathered around and I picked up my pace. As I got closer, I saw that some men were dragging Natasha towards the podium with the wooden stake, she was bound with chains and her body was filled with bruises.

"Natasha!" I quickly ran forward so I could stop them and save her. I was about to grab the men who were holding her, but I suddenly felt two people grab me from behind and pull me back.

I looked over my shoulder and saw Jack and Beta Rufus glaring at me.

"Don't stop them," Jack said and I shook my head. I tried to shake their hands off me, but more people dragged me back.

They carried Natasha to the podium and they began to tie her to the stake, wrapping chains around her even as she cried.

"Dante-" she cried, trying to break free from the chains.

"They are going to kill me, help me," she cried and I continued struggling to break free and rescue her.

I threw my elbow backward, hitting it in the face of a random person. He staggered backward and I threw my leg backward, kicking Beta Rufus on his crotch.

He groaned and bent backward, letting go of me and I took the chance to slip out of Jack's grip on my shoulder.

I ran forward quickly to stop them, but Jack zoomed to my front and he kicked me in the abdomen.

I groaned and staggered backward.

The people behind me caught me immediately and they held on to me tightly.

"Alpha or not, you cannot help a criminal like her!" Jack yelled and as I tried to struggle again, he threw a punch in my face.

"She's not a criminal, she's my mate!" I yelled and everyone looked stunned. They all began to murmur loudly and I panted heavily.

There was nothing else I could do. I had to let them know so they know why I've been defending Natasha so badly.

Jack looked like he understood my situation now, but all of sudden, his face looked fierce again.

"And she tried to kill my own mate. That doesn't change what she has done," Jack bellowed and I watched as someone dumped an entire keg of diesel on Natasha and the stake..

"Kill her!"

"She deserves to die!"

"Please don't let them do this. Stop them!" I pleaded with Jack as I struggled to break free, but he looked away from me and he walked to the podium.

"Dante. Help me, they are going to burn me alive," Nataha cried.

I watched as someone handed Jack a lighter and he climbed up the podium.

I pushed forward with all of my strength, groaning loudly. The hands of those grabbing me slowly slid of me, and I ignored the sharp fingernails biting into my skin.

I finally broke free and I forward. Jack glanced at me and he rolled his eyes before dropping the lighter directly on Natasha's body.

Natasha and the stake immediately lit up in flames and she cried loudly, screaming as the fire ate her alive.

"Nooooooooo!

I gasped and jerked up from my bed, panting heavily. I looked beside my bed and saw Natasha sitting there with a wet towel in her hand and a bowl of water.

I looked at myself and saw that I wasn't wearing a shirt and my torso was wet.

"I'm not done yet, so I can finish cleaning youe body and apply some balm," Natasha said, but I sat up straight, wincing slightly. My chest still hurt and I didn't feel so strong.

The cut on my chest had already closed up, but there was still a long flesh scar there.

I remembered the dream I just had and I was scared. I already wasted a lot of time already. I had barely enough evidence and I had to take Natasha back to Gemini tomorrow.

"No," I said and I climbed down from the bed.

"You still need to rest so your injury can properly heal," Natasha said and stood up from the table.

"Thank you, but you can go now," I replied and she sighed in frustration.

"Alright, I had maid prepare you some coffee and there's a pain reliever there," Natasha said, pointing at a table by my dressing mirror and I nodded.

She walked out of my room and I quickly walked into the bathroom. Today was the last day I had to get a valid evidence to proof Natasha's innocence and there was only one place I could get that even though it might be hard.

The Petrova Sisters.
