Changes

Chapter 26

I stood in front of the library, the ceiling demolished. Nothing but pure rage coursing through my veins and mind. The house itself was a total wreck. Many of the walls were damaged, claw marks in the floors, tiles in the kitchen smashed to dust, and my beautiful library ceiling just demolished. The culprits were locked up downstairs and the rest of the house made themselves scarce. My warriors were downstairs as well, but in another part, standing outside of the room where Violet was going through the change.

I wanted to be there for her, but the smell of her blood made me incredibly nauseous. I turned and began to walk down the various halls, my heels clicking on the hardwood. I ran my hand over the claw marks that ran along it. Cherif had been out numbered here. Many had been jumped in the lounges or their rooms.

I froze when I saw that my bedroom door was open. I went in, and saw it was just trashed worse than the rest of the house. I turned on my heel and made my way down the stairs. Z came into the foyer, covered in whoever he felt like torturing today's blood. "They destroyed our room," I told him. My voice cold. "They attacked our family. And they wrecked our home." "What do you want to do my Queen," he asked me seriously. I couldn't help my cold smile, "I'm going to hit them where it really hurts."

Later that day when I found what I needed, I had Z, Jay, Jaden, Axel, and Talos bring the Faction back to their settlement. I stood there, waiting. When they appeared I looked over the group responsible, "This is such a beautiful home you gentlemen have here." I told them as I looked over the beautiful land. It truly was spectacular. So spectacular, it's not fair they're living here."

I then held up a piece of paper, "Do any of you know what this very small, yet very important piece of document says?" When no one answered I nodded, "That is correct class. It's a piece of paper that legally declares this very large and beautiful piece of land belongs to my mate. And what belongs to my mate, also belongs to me. Like the home, you so carelessly destroyed." I laughed softly, "You tried to take over. How adorable. It's nice to have dreams, but you little kids need to understand when you do something bad, you get punished. I could let my mate continue to torture you guys, but then that means he is spending time with you, when he needs to be spending that time with me. So I had a better idea. This land is beautiful, and we could get a very large amount for it."

"This is our home," One snapped, causing the ones holding them captive to growl. I laughed coldly again, "And the house you destroyed is our home, yet you bastards didn't care. So why should I care about what happens to your home? I have an idea, let's sell this land to someone who will make it a resort so I can come and enjoy it properly." They all looked at me in horror and fear. "If I sold it, then you wouldn't have a place to call home. A place you can run around in your beast forms in to do as you please. What a very tough situation for you." I made a chair appear and I sat down in it, crossing one leg over the other, "However, there might be a way for me to convince me otherwise."

A few seemed ready to leap at the opportunity, but they seemed to be stopped by a glare from Mackio. "Those of you, who wish to be willing to what I have to propose, will have some freedom. While the others will be leashed and controlled," I announced to them. "Those who have freedom will be able to continue to enjoy the comforts our homes have to offer while those of you who are leashed will be on a strict schedule. You all will be fixing our home. However those who are leashed will be forced to stay in the cells when not working. After all, the only slight bright side to all this, is that I'm allowed to remodel and decorate. Of course there is also the original issue you were requested to come home for that needs to be handled but we will get to those details later. Once our home is completed and there are no more issues from you or our other situations, you'll have the choice to come back here, or if you'd like, you have my permission to stay in NOLA and call our home, your home as well. Now I would choose wisely gentlemen."
