Chapter Four

Ivy's POV

I could not believe what I was staring at. My parents heads were hanging from a rope just in front of the entrance. I feel the tears fill my eyes and fall to my face. I remember the last time I saw them both, my dad telling me to be careful as always and my mom reminding me not to forget to eat, not knowing that that would be the last time I ever spoke to them and saw them alive. Who would have done this? I ask myself and my mind goes back to the letter and it instantly clicks in my brain. Alpha Jax. He was the only one that could be this heartless to murder two middle aged people, cut off their heads and leave them dangling from the ceiling.

But why would he do such a thing?  How did he know who my parents were and where they lived? What was his reason for murdering them in cold blood? I had so many questions and no single answer. I didn't know what to do and where to start from but after giving it a thought, I decide to call my Father's office and break the news to them, maybe they'll know what happened to them.

I walk to the back of the house and take out my phone. I dialed sergeant Ron's number, who was my father's assistant and he picked up at the first ring,

"Hey kid, how are you?" He asked with a loud voice as though I were a kid. I already lost count of how many times I had to remind him that I was twenty two years old and no longer a kid. I didn't bother correcting him this time, instead I went straight to the reason of my call

"Mom and Dad have been murdered." I say so quietly that when I didn't get a response from him, t thought he had not heard what I said and I was about to repeat myself when he responded

"Where are they now?" His voice was so cold all of a sudden that I would have sworn he was not the same person that answered my call at the beginning

"At home, I'm here too Ron" I tell him and I could hear my voice breaking no matter how I tried to put myself together.

"Are you there alone? Have you made sure that the culprit is still not around the house somewhere? Look Ivy, don't move an inch alright, I'll be there with some men before you know it, okay?" He instructed me as I heard some ruffling of papers signalling that he was packing up his desk and was really on his way like he said

"Yes Ron "I sniff while nodding my head

"Just hold on a minute " he gives me a final reassurance before ending the call.

I start walking around the house, checking for anything that was out of place but to my surprise I notice that everywhere was sparkling clean. The murderer had make sure to clean up after their self and I found it weird. I hear a car pull up to the front of the house and I turn around and start walking back downstairs where I see Ron standing just by the front door in shock. He looks to my direction when he heard my footsteps

"Blood of Jesus fucking Christ Ivy, what is this about?" he asked in total shock

"I wish I knew Ron" I give a fake chuckle in an attempt to hide the fact that my leg were almost giving out and I just wanted to sit in the floor and weep my eyes out it's sockets.

"Actually I think I do" I add after second thoughts. There was no point in doubting that Alpha Jax was the one behind this because all fingers were pointing at him and I was not going to be quiet.

"You do? Who did this Ivy " Ron turns to face me with a hard look on his face. I stay quiet because I started having second thoughts on telling him what I thought and he grabs me by the shoulders and turns me to face him until we're standing almost toe to toe

"What the hell is going on Ivy, talk to me. Did this person threaten you? Common say something " Ron just continues to ask and say a lot of things at the same time.

"It's Alpha Jax ,the devil Alpha" I say to shut him up and I see him freeze at my words and he was like that for a few minutes,just staring at me like I was some crazy woman

"Now now Ivy, you can't just accuse people of murdering other people in cold blood. How can you say that, the devil Alpha just recently came into town so how will you say he did something of this sort" Ron goes off with his many questions again and I roll my eyes at him

"I know what I'm saying alright? Alpha Jax did this, I just don't have the prove yet but I will get it" I shrug my shoulders out of his hold and walk to stand in the middle of the room. He was silent as though soaking up what I just told him

"That's a big accusation to lay on the devil Alpha. But I would give you some benefit of doubt. I'll let my boys survey the area for anything that can lead us to the culprit and I'll let you know if evidence point to the devil Alpha, is that okay with you?" He asked sounding patronizing like I was some little kid

"You will not find a single fingerprint cause he cleaned it all up, he's not stupid but do what you have to do. I honestly don't blame you for not believing me. I'll be outside if you need me"  I say as I start walking out of the house.

In all honesty, I wanted to just break down and cry my eyes out but I knew I had to put myself together for now. I sit on the patio and watch the neighbors children play in their garden in an attempt to get my mind off the situation at hand but it was proving futile because I could not stop imagining what I was going to do to Alpha Jax to get my revenge.

An ambulance arrives and they try to ask me some questions but I just point into the house and walk to the backyard. I knew they were here to take my parents bodies away, their dismantled bodies rather and I just could not get myself to watch them take down their heads and all that stuff. I was standing at the backyard, reminiscing how mum and I used to come here every evening to water her plants. I look over at the plants and I can't help but feel much worse cause I knew I was definitely not going to be watering them and showing them the amount of love my Mum did.

I could feel the tears coming ones again and I almost let them fall this time around until I hear some footsteps coming from behind me and I wipe them off very quickly before I turn towards the footsteps and see that it is Ron,

"What are you doing back here?, I've been looking for you " he said while looking around at the environment

"Nothing, I just wanted some fresh air" I say

"Are you sure that's the only thing you came to do back here?" he asked as he stared at me intensely for a while

"You know it's okay to cry right? And I should be the last person you should be hiding your tears from you know. I am like family Ivy, and I want you to know that if you need any sort of help whatsoever I'm here for you" he continued to speak and I just nod my head because I didn't know what to say to all that he just said. I was not used to showing my soft side to anyone other than my parents so it was a bit awkward to me that Ron was being so nice although he has been that way my entire life but I've never had to rely on him or anyone at all other than my Mum and Dad for emotional support. We continue to stand in silence for awhile and the more we stood, the harder it was holding back my tears and I try to make conversation but the moment I open my mouth, a gasp escapes from my lips and before I knew it I was whimpering like a baby. Ron pulled me into a hug and that was the final straw as I broke out into a full blown crying session. I cried for a couple of minutes before I found a way to get myself under control.

"You okay?" Ron asked as I pulled away from his embrace

"I'll be fine, thank you " I offer him a small smile which I'm sure looked fake as hell and he nodded his head.

"So are your boys done with the investigation and all?"

"Yes they are done. We swept the whole house for fingerprints and the only one I could find were yours, a few of Rose and David's, which by the way is weird, considering that this was their house but other than that there was no other one"

"Of course you didn't find any other one because like I already told you that Alpha Jax cleaned up his mess after him, thereby removing his fingerprints from the scene, he is definitely not stupid"

"Ivy, stop accusing people without concrete proof, how are you so sure? I still don't understand why you're so hellbent on claiming that the devil Alpha is the one that did this. What reason does he have to do something like this? When I'm sure he has other things doing" Ron sighs at me

"I don't know but I'm going to find out and I'm going to take my revenge " I declare while ignoring the look he was giving me.

"Don't do anything stupid Ivy. You really can't afford to do anything stupid, that man is powerful you know"

"Believe me or not Ron, I know he did this for sure. He was the one that sent me that letter, I know he was the one. This is him doing this to prove something. I don't know what yet but I'm going to find out and I'm going to get my revenge, I swear on my parents" I say with confidence and Ron let's out another sigh.

"What letter are you talking about?" I take out the letter from my pocket and give it to him and he takes it and reads it

"This still does not prove it's from him. There's no signature or name or whatsoever to link it to him" Ron tried to explain like I was a little child

"I know that Ron, like I said earlier, he is not stupid, he knows exactly what he is doing but it's okay if you don't believe me " I said with an eye roll and turned away from him

"Have the ambulance taken them?" I asked after sometime

"Yes they have, we better head over to the hospital "

"Yeah, thank you for taking care of that for me" I smile

"Well it's time to plan some burial for my parents" I said to him

"But first of all I need to go and inform the pack and tell them I won't be available for practice and other things for awhile until I'm done with the whole burial thing and I get myself together"

"I think that's a great idea, but we have to go to the mortuary and register their bodies in before any other thing, okay?"

"Okay, let's go then. I don't have any time to waste" I said as I start walking to the front of the house and get into Ron's private car. I have to do a lot of things at such a short period of time and even though I would not admit it, at least for the time being, I was grateful I had Ron helping me out because if it was only me,I would not even know where to start from. I hated that I was out into this position in a twinkle of an eye and although stressful I was going to solve it all and get my revenge.
