Bethany Everyone's ready and waiting at the party spot for Jack and Ashley to arrive. Jack has gone all out. There's a massive dance floor with a DJ set up to the side and large round tables and chairs spread out, there are two bars, banners, balloons and hundreds of fairy lights draped over the trees surrounding us. It's beautiful and everyone has made the effort to look good too which Ash will love! Jack just linked Cal to tell him they are on their way so we all huddle up and keep quiet waiting for the birthday boy. "SURPRISE!" We all yell out as soon as Ashley comes into sight and there's no denying, he didn't have a clue about this party he's so shocked. This is Ashley though so it doesn't take long for him to switch to his happy excited self as he greets everyone with kisses and hugs before pulling Jack in for a very long kiss and thanking him. We're all soon chatting and laughing away when I catch the sight of Liam walking towards us and my fucking heart starts pounding! He
Beta Liam The moment we hear the explosion my first thought is of Bethany. What the fuck is wrong with me? It should be with Sarah but we were just talking about Bethany so I'm going to put it down to that. We're outside in seconds and I quickly find Sarah huddled under a table, shaking and crying, I scoop her up and pull her into me hating myself the whole time because I'm still thinking about Bethany. I scan the room as quickly as I can and finally find her, Jake's got her wrapped up in his arms and I instantly feel my anger re-surfing, fuck! I can't deal with this right now I need to be in Beta mode. "Sarah, I need you to head to our floor with one of the warriors. Don't leave there until I tell you to ok? Take someone with you if you'd like!" "I want you to come with me!" She knows I can't but I get that she's scared and no matter what my feelings are I hate to see any woman scared or upset. "I can't babe, I need to get to the Alpha so we can find out what's going on. You'll
Alpha Marcus Finally, all the work has been finished on my packhouse and lands, everyone has their position and aside from the odd hiccup here and there, everything seems to be running smoothly. My pack numbers are at 180 and considering the small time I've been Alpha I'm happy with the numbers. I did have 196 but the ungrateful bastards didn't like the rules so were killed or banished, I've killed more than I've banished but I couldn't give a fuck. There are just a few more things left to get sorted and life will be perfect. The first problem being closer to home than I would like. There's something going on with my Beta John, he's not been the same with me since I returned from my disgusting hotel stay, He hasn't said what's wrong but I know there's something and it's really starting to fuck me off. Then there's Sarah the last time I saw her was when she came to see me and rejected my offer of accepting me as her mate. I've spoken to her several times on the phone but she's not ch
Alpha Calvin Marcus looks at me before settling his gaze on Liam, he seems to be considering his words before speaking. "Beta Liam, your mate Sarah isn't actually your mate, not your true mate, she is my second chance mate!" What the fuck is he talking about? I can see anger spread through Liam at him saying that Sarah is his mate and not Liam's but I don't see him get any kind of urge to kill him which is how it would normally work and I'm pretty sure Marcus has noticed it. "What the fuck are you talking about? If this is another mind game of yours don't bother!" He assures me it's not a mind game and without warning goes on to tell us everything about him meeting Sarah at the ceremony, their plans, and his change of mind. I'm floored and I know I'm not the only one, none of this makes any sense but yet there's a part of me deep down that thinks it could be true with how Liam's been acting, I'm ashamed to admit it but a part of me hopes it is true, it would explain a lot for me.
Bethany "You have got to be fucking kidding me!" The words leave my mouth before my brain has had time to catch up. Everyone's eyes are twitching between me, Liam, and Sarah while Marcus has the look of the devil on his face. "This is nothing to do with you, Bethany!" Sarah gives me a snide grin when she looks my way and I want nothing more than to smack it off her face. Tonight has been one fuck up after another including Marcus finally admitting the truth to me. I don't give a fuck about his confession about wanting me as his Luna. However, thinking he killed my family and having him admit it are two completely different things and I want nothing more than to tear him apart! That mixed with knowing what they have done to Liam has anger running through my veins that I know I won't be able to control for much longer. Sarah hasn't admitted the truth yet but I believe it is true, I'm so fucking angry for Liam and what she put him through but the part of me that is reminding me of my
Alpha Calvin Last night was a fucking nightmare, I had my suspicions about Sarah, we all did but fuck me, I did not see that coming and I never imagined Marcus was involved. This thing is a lot bigger than any of us could have imagined. After the revelation of Sarah's pregnancy and the fact that she got pregnant before even claiming to be Liam's mate, I decided to call it a night for everyone. We all needed to step back and have time to take everything in, especially Liam, Brooke, and Beth, Liam more than anyone needed a time out. I've arranged for us to have breakfast on my floor this morning, we all need to regroup and see where we are at this morning without unwanted ears listening in. No one else needs to know what's going on yet, my warriors that know are guys that I trust and I have no worries about them keeping this a secret. "Alpha are you awake?" I pulled back to reality by a link of Jack, it's 6 am, I hope it's not more bad news. "Yes, I'm awake brother, everything o
Bethany I'm an absolute mess today, everything that has happened is my fault and the guilt is slowly eating me up. I woke up in Ashley's bed after we had a sleepover, it has become my safe place whenever I'm feeling sad or I've just had a shit day and it was a good distraction for me last night but the guilt I woke up with this morning is taking over every other feeling inside my body. I needed some air to try and clear my head so I quietly slipped out of bed and headed outside for a quiet walk. Seeing Liam at the lake just tore me up, even more, to know all his pain and confusion has been caused by me is unbelievably painful and yet he doesn't blame me. He comforted me this morning and even though it wasn't in his usual way it still felt amazing, he still has a huge calming effect on me even if I still don't know why, I just pray with everything I have that if he's able to remember everything he doesn't end up hating me. We quickly arrive at the Alpha floor and Calvin has had a
Bethany It's been almost 2 weeks since all those awful truths were revealed and my guilt hasn't gotten any easier, it doesn't matter how many times I'm told it wasn't my fault, I still feel the weight of it and I'm not sure how to get away from it. Marcus is still being held in a cell, Calvin doesn't want to kill him yet, he's hoping Liam can get his memory back before it happens, apparently, Liam deserves to understand everything before he's killed, I'm not sure what's going on but if it involved me Cal would tell me until then I'm staying out of it. Sarah is still in a cell too, but I have no idea what's going on with her, Cal came to see me before school today and asked me to head straight home from school for a meeting that he's holding so maybe we'll find out more then. "You coming or what bitch face?" I'm rudely pulled back to reality by Katie, the girl is a massive pain in my ass but I wouldn't trade her for anything, as best friends go, she is at the top of the chain a
