Of all the things heād anticipated happening, this was not one of them. To be fair, despite there having been a fight, he felt like theyād resolved things between themselves reasonably well. Elliot still didnāt seem to feel as though he would need Jake but a layer of the awkwardness had disappeared. To him that was progress.
This was definitely not progress.Ā
He had no time to react as Augustās fingers twisted into his hair and yanked his head back before dragging the dagger across his throat. It wasnāt a spray of blood but it was a steady stream of it. He was busy trying to stem the flow of blood as he was shoved to the floor but it streamed through his fingers anyway. Jake didnāt try to say a word, though.

āĀ "YOU SCREWED UP, SO THIS IS YOUR PUNISHMENT,ā august said. nothing, in his opinion, weighed heavier than guilt.Ā āitās because you disobeyed me that heās going to die.ā he wanted to make that clear, that he wasnāt killing jake because he thought jake had done something wrong. he wanted elliot to know his actions had more consequences that concerned others than himself.Ā āisnāt this what you wanted?ā he asked as he stared at the other half-wolf bleeding to death at their feet.Ā āyou wanted him gone. you told me so yourself, elliot, that i didnāt need him.ā he wiped the blood from his dagger against his pants, his expression as cold as ever. he had no patience for misbehavior.Ā āif thatās not what you want, get on your knees and beg me for his life.ā

Again Elliot was reminded that heād screwed up, at this point he really was surprised that he was even still breathing. His eyes flickered between Augustās clearly angry face and Jakeās choking form. Elliot only had so long to decide how he wanted to react, whether he could swallow his pride and get on his knees of if he would just let Jake die. Part of him wanted to argue that if heād really wanted Jake to die heād kill him himself, but heād not, heād let the pet live, but there was no time, every second Elliot spent debating with himself was a second closer to actually letting the other die. And Elliot didnāt want Jakeās death to be on him, heād rather watch the other fail himself. So he got on his knees and he begged.Ā āPlease spare him. Please donāt let him die, he doesnāt deserve that, Iām the one who broke the rules, Iām the one who fucked up, Iām the one who should be choking on their own blood.ā Elliot spoke, swallowing his pride, biting down hard on his desire to glare, to deadpan each word and instead infused them with emotion.Ā
