I see Mia walk out into the waiting room, looking everywhere but at us. She seems nervous, so I stand and walk over to her. The rest of the guys follow, but Mia seems really distraught. I wish they’d let us see her; I just need to see with my own two eyes that she’s okay. Everybody’s being super secretive about what happened, and no one’s saying anything about her condition. We just know she’s here, but none of us know why.“Mia, what’s going on? Can we see her now?” Dallas asks. He’s really not doing okay, it’s like he isn’t being aloud to see the love of his life. I don’t have it in me right now to be upset though, I just need to know she’s okay. Mia looks down at the ground. “She’s okay now, but...” She’s taking way to long. “Spit it out Mia.” I say angrily. She looks up and glares at me. “Fine Liam. She wants all of you to leave. She doesn’t want to see any of you right now.” She says to the point. Why wouldn’t she want to see us? I thought things were finally being fixed between
When I walk outside, I see Dallas’s wolf. He’s brown with white tips on his ears and tip of his tail. He walks up to me slowly and stops in front of me. ‘Is she okay?’ He asks sadly. I know he’s upset she doesn’t want to see any of us. ‘She’s still in pain, but she seems okay. She didn’t talk to me though.’ I answer, ‘Come on, let’s go inside.’ I gesture for my house, and he runs over to it and runs inside. Once I get inside, he’s walking out of my room dressed in my clothes.He’s so upset, it’s written all over his face, then I see fury take over. “You know who did this! We need to do something!” He yells angrily at me. I sigh, “I think I know who did this. I can’t prove anything, and Amy hasn’t said anything. My dad says we can’t do anything until we’re sure.” I say calmly, knowing he’s not going to like my answer. His eyes are burning into my soul as he walks down the stairs. “Look Dallas, I care about her to. We’ll get her to talk and then we’ll punish whoever did this.” I say, he
I’ve spent a week in my room, healing from Clara’s latest beating. This was by far the worse I have received. Mia’s been bringing me my homework, and the teachers are emailing further work, they know with all my free time I’ll get even further ahead. Which is great, I’m already so far ahead I’ll probably be able to graduate before my senior year. Then, I can get away from the she devils and Liam’s goons.I haven’t seen much of the guys, I’ve only seen them while looking out my window. For some reason they’re hovering around my house, day and night. It’s quite unnerving, I don’t know why they’re here. Are they planning another attack? Liam said he wants names of the people who did this, but he already knows. He’s the reason it happened. Is he just trying to get me to snitch so he has another thing to attack me for? Well, that isn’t happening, I’ll take her name to my grave. I won’t even tell Mia, even though she thinks she knows, I won’t confirm it. I don’t even know for sure if there
My mom comes in about five minutes later with a pill. “Don’t be mad. Sweetheart you need to sleep. All this work you’re doing isn’t good for you right now, you need to rest and let your body heal.” She pleads, handing me what I assume is a sleeping pill. I sigh, fucking Mia. I take it from her, promising I’ll take it as soon as I was done with this math assignment. She reluctantly agrees and walks away letting me finish. I set it on my side dresser, having no intentions of taking it. I need to stay aware; I can’t risk sleep right now.I put my headphones in and get back to work, I don’t stop til I see a figure standing in front of me. I pull my headphones out of my ears quickly and shuffle to the head of the bed as far away from the figure as possible. My body groans and I wince at the pain of the sudden movement. I don’t even know who it is, my flight reflex just overpowering me. Once my body finally comes back to me, I start to focus on who’s in front of me. “What the fuck are you d
Cole just mind-linked me that Amy was sleeping, I let out a breath of air. She says she doesn’t trust us and doesn’t want us anyway near her. I really don’t get it, but I really don’t understand why Dallas is the last of us she wants to see. Dallas has been there for a while now he was the one who brought her into our group. I feel bad for Dallas, he really doesn’t seem to understand why she’s being like this.“I think Mia knows more than she’s telling us.” Dallas says, as he paces across the room. I look up and nod. “I’m sure she does, because we know nothing. There’s no way Amy’s told her nothing.” I respond. “We could see if your dad would Alpha command her.” Walker suggests. That’s not a bad idea. My dad wants to know what’s going on as much as us. My eyes widen at the idea, and I race upstairs to my dad's office, Walker and Dallas in tow.I don’t bother knocking and race inside. He looks surprised then amused by us. He chuckles, “What can I do for you boys?” He asks, and we expla
Fuck! We were all finally starting to get along so well. She even finally started wanting to include me. When she said she wanted me at her birthday dinner I was surprised, but so happy. I was finally being included by her, after everything I’ve done. All the ‘friends’ in the world, but lately the only one I cared about is her. And now, to find out how much me leaving her when we were young affected her, I want revenge. I stand up, ready to go find Clara. “No! We still don’t have proof! You are not allowed to do anything until we know for certain!” My dad shouts, reading my mind. Unfortunately, for Dallas he was the closet thing to me at the time. I throw him to the ground, screaming curses and charge out of the room.I went down to the game room and started pacing the floor. I hear Walker and Dallas join me. “Why the fuck are they saying we set her up!” I scream looking over at them, when I notice Mia came with them. “I think it’s pretty obvious.” Walker states but doesn’t elaborate,
I got out of two weeks of going back to school, not including the days I was in the hospital. And once Liam let Cole and Walker be my sole guardians, I slept most of the second week. My doctor says I’m good to go back I just have to be careful of my head. The fracture in my skull hasn’t completely healed. I still have my cast on my arm, but I guess that’s safe since it has protection. My ribs don’t hurt that much anymore, and my bruises are all a gross greenish yellow color, almost healed. I’d like to just stay home and finish everything at home, but I know my mom would want to stay here with me, and she can’t afford to do that. So, I guess I’m going back to school tomorrow.It’s for the best maybe my protection detail will decide I’m healed enough to take care of myself and leave me alone.I walk outside the next morning, finally taking in the fresh air, and see I’m not that lucky. Liam’s car is parked in front of my house and he’s outside it, waiting for me. I internally groan, alre
I sneak through the doors, and head outside. I sit on one of the giant rocks lining the parking lot. I try to take a couple deep breaths, but my ribs proving it pointless. I sigh and put my head in my hands with my elbows on my knees slightly uncomfortable with a cast. “Thinking about leaving?” I hear Walker say behind me. I groan loudly and look back at him. I move my head so fast I nearly lose my balance. Walker runs over and places me up right back on the rock before I can hurt myself more. I can’t take it anymore and I just burst into tears. I hate that I’m letting him see this, but I can’t stop them. I pull my knees to my chest, forgetting about the pain it causes, and cry into my legs. I hear Walker get closer to me and before I know it, he’s picking me up. I don’t fight him and just let him take me wherever he wants. At this point if he’s taking me to a trap I don’t even care. I just want this all to be over.He slides me into his suv and buckles my seatbelt. Then he gets to th
My body shakes in Liam’s arms as he makes me cum for a third time. And we hear a knock at the door.Our breathing labored I glance towards the door, while Liam lays his head into my neck, sighing. “You should probably save some water for the other patients.” Cole laughs, and I groan. Having had forgotten that there were other people in my room.Goddess, how much did they hear?Liam chuckles, ‘Just enough to leave quickly.’ He says in my head, and I groan again. “Let’s get you dressed. You have company.” He says smiling as he places me on my feet.Once I’m dried and dressed I make my way out of the bathroom. Falling to my knees to grab hold of my babies as they race towards me.“Oh, I missed you two so much!” I say between kissing their faces and hair. They giggle, “We missed you too, Mommy!” Heather exclaims, squeezing me tighter.“Mommy, grandma and grandpa say the bad man is gone! We can finally be home!” I smile widely and nod. A tear of happiness falling from my eye. Finally!Liam
While I’m happy I got to spend more time with my mom, I hate that she had no options in life other then to die. I grab my mom’s hand and squeeze.She gives me a reassuring smile, “I’m happy, Sweetheart. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to be around for you and to watch those to babies grow up, but you’re safe now and I’m so happy it’s finally over for you.”I sigh, is it though? I’m still here. I’m still not with them.I look at my mom thinking about that. “How are you here? I thought he took souls when he killed them?” I ask.She smiles and looks over at the Goddess, “It had something to do with the fact that I’m a wolf, and the fact I was wearing my necklace. She brought me here after I passed and now, I’m essentially hiding.” She explains, with a shrug.I swallow, “For all time? Can you do that?” I ask, looking over at the Goddess, who nods. “As long as she’s wearing the necklace, I don’t see why not.”I nod slowly, then a pain radiates through my stomach. I clutch my stomach, and my m
I stare at the ceiling from the hospital bed they’ve put me on. I felt her come back, I felt the bond snap back together, but how long til it happens again.The amount of pain that caused. My heart felt like it had been hit with a hammer and then stomped on for good measure. I’d rather die.How selfish does that make me? I know my kids are waiting for me, but they’re waiting for Amy too. I can’t look them in the eyes and tell them I once again failed their mother.I can’t go through this pain; I’d rather just be with her.A flashback of something she said hits me, when she was asking where the souls her father kill end up.If I die with her, will we end up in the same place? Will I get to hold her again, kiss her, be with her. We’ve already spent too much of this time apart. I can’t live the rest of my life without her.They won’t let me see her, and I know they think I’ll freak out again, which to be fair I can’t promise I won’t, but I need to see her.After watching Dallas’s sullen
I stare up at the gorgeous Goddess in awe. As much as I don’t want to be here, this is insane.“She says she can’t see anything here. What does that mean?” My mom asks the Goddess, frantically looking between the Goddess and me.The Goddess looks down at me, giving me a soft smile. “She’s not fully here, but not fully there either.” She explains, which only makes me more confused.“Wait. Does that mean I can go back?” I ask and she smiles, “That’s up to you. Do you want to go back? She asks, and I nod frantically. “Yes, please! How?” I ask, needing to be back to everyone.I love my mom with all my heart, but as someone who lost their mom, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Especially not my kids.I know Liam will be an amazing dad, but I’m all they’ve known for so long. And I’m sure Hazel and Nick, probably all of them will step up and help, but it’s not the same as having your mother with you. I don’t want to put them through that.“That’s up to you. Something must be keeping you here.”
They’re behind those double doors for hours.The rest of the pack has started coming back to their homes, on Walker’s orders. He sent a few warriors out to clean up the mess of Amy’s father, since we didn’t have time.The sun came up and we’re still waiting. No news is good news, right?I look over at Liam when I hear his phone start ringing. He’s still sitting in the same position, watching the doors. And he makes no move to answer his phone.We all know who it is, and I can understand why he doesn’t want to answer it, but he has to. They’ll think we’re all dead if he doesn’t.I crouch in front of him, and his eyes slowly move to mine. “I can’t.” He croaks out, like it physically pains him to talk. I nod my head and hold out my hand for his phone.He slowly moves his hand and grabs his phone from his pocket handing it over to me, when the line cuts off. I’m about to call back when it rings again.I stand up and walk outside, not sure if it’ll be the kids or not, and not wanting Liam
When I open my eyes all I see is white. Where that hell am I?I spin around and still see nothing but white, as I stand here in the middle of nowhere… no, middle of nothing. ‘Liam?’ I try to talk to him, through my mind, but all I get is silence.‘Leah?’ I ask next, hoping I’m not completely alone. ‘I’m here, Amy.’ I let out a breath of relief. ‘Where is here?’ I ask her, hoping she’ll understand this better than me. She sighs, ‘I… I’m not sure.’I swallow, then look around again, before I start walking. There’s nothing to base my movements on so I just walk, hoping to find anything.The pain in my side is gone and to my surprise for the first time in forever, my body feels… Healthy? Goddess, I don’t think I even felt this way when I was younger.My footsteps stop. ‘Amy?’ Leah questions why I stopped, clearly our communications are not as good here, since she can’t just read my thoughts.‘I feel free.’ I tell her and she whimpers, clearly understanding now. Feeling this way, could onl
“No, no, no, no, no.” I whisper, as I fall to the ground with Amy clutched in my arms.Everyone was evacuated into the tunnels while we took care of this, our doctor is down there. I mind-link him to get him up here as soon as possible.Dallas falls to Amy’s other side grabbing hold of her wound and pressing to keep the blood in. Déjà vu slams into me, we’ve been here before. Covered in her blood, because of the same bastard as this time.I can’t breathe, I can’t think.Dallas looks over at me and says something, but I can’t hear him. I can’t lose her not again. Not after everything. I just can’t.This was supposed to be the end of him, not her. She was so worried about no one else dying, that she didn’t realize what would happen to us if she did.Dallas is screaming at me now, but he might as well be in another country, my mind isn’t working, I only know because my eyes are. And I can see him yelling, just like I can see Amy’s lifeless body in my arms, while her blood pours out aroun
‘Amy?’ Liam shouts in my head, desperately. ‘Don’t move! I’m fine.’ I yell back, already knowing he was about to give up all of this and come to help me, but we’re not there yet.‘Amy…’ Liam growls, clearly not wanting to listen, but I can’t respond.His hands wrap around my neck. “You think you’ve won this girl?” He spits at me, as I claw at his arms trying to remove him from my neck. He leans in close to me, “The great part about spells and rituals is they require a witch. And lucky for me yours is right over there.” He says, nodding his head towards Hazel.Though luckily for the plan, she’s not where she was a moment ago.It was up to me to get him riled up. To make him sloppy and hyper-focused. Also, lucky for me that he has the fuse of a bottle rocket, and it took next to nothing.Someone just doesn’t like having his ego dampened.A cruel smile crosses my face as I glance behind him, “You sure?” I croak out, with what little air I had to spare. Then Hazel’s hands, covered in I do
It feels wrong, being this far away from Liam, when everything is about to go down, but there’s nothing that can be done since we’re going this route.I hate this with every fiber of my being. I hate the fact that they’re all putting themselves in danger, again, to help me. If anyone gets hurt… ‘Stop. We all love you and want this for you. And don’t even pretend that you wouldn’t be the first on board to do this, if it was one of us instead of you.’ Liam says into my mind, and I sigh. ‘I love you.’ I tell him, still thinking of what could happen.I understand what he’s saying, but it really doesn’t make it that much easier. My main concerns are everyone making it out of this and Liam and I can get our kids back here safely.They deserve to not grow up like I did. They deserve the world, and hopefully this will make that happen for them.Mia walks over to Hazel and me, putting her phone in her pocket. “Dallas and Nick are in position and so is Walker.” She says, and I nod. “Liam too.”
