Erik POV
“ what did she say??” I asked Andrew as he stormed into the room with a worried look on his face.
“ I hung up on her sir, it sounded like someone knocked her bedroom down and all I heard was attack and that she was needed” he told me trying to catch his breath
Picking up my phone I immediately called her over and over praying that she’d pick up the phone. I knew it was a horrible idea to let her leave!!
“ come on pick up the fucking phone” I mumbled to myself trying really hard not to crush it in my hand
“ sir, maybe she’s busy!” Andrew suggested something that only made me more angry. It’s not that I don’t t
I watched as they pulled each burnt piece of skin off her legs and arms, the whimpers she made aches my soul to the core. I can’t help but think this is all my fault. I should have fought harder to keep her home. I should have told her she didn’t hurt me so she would have stayed. But she would have hated me even more for lying to her. Not being able to watch it anymore I stepped out for some air, her wolf is in overdrive trying to heal her, the doctor is working as fast as he can but it’s not fast enough for my liking. Her angel side is strong but healing herself from her own powers doesn’t seem to be something she's capable of. Pacing back and forth in the waiting room I’ll call my own doctor to come and assist theirs in hopes that would speed up the process.“ Don’t worry. He’s had many years of experience of healing Alice and Briella both. I also have her
“ Would you like to see her?” Alpha Luca asked with a straight face as if he was had no idea what my answer would of been “ of course I want to see her” “ Please follow me.” Aaron said gesturing towards the door “ What's wrong with her??” I asked as we walked to the room “ Once I open this door, you won’t be able to unsee it. Are you sure you want to see her before she is fully healed?” He asked me once more and as always my answer was yes. He walked two steps forward and pushed the door open. Once it was open wide enough that she was in full view my eyes have to be tricking me “ trust me this is real” Andrew mumbled behind me he must be l
“ No way in hell! Why would you even consider agreeing to him being anywhere near her!” Alpha Luca wasn’t a fan of the outcome of my decision.“ He's the only way we can assure that she wakes up safely, without his help there’s no telling the conditions she’ll be in IF she wakes up on her own! He connected their minds, he can control her inner throats and drive her deeper into the darkness she’s in if we don’t give him what he wants.” I huffed yelling back knowing I will eventually make him crack“ We are running out of time. The longer she’s under the more she’s fading away. I know you can see it. Her skin turning pale, the life in her is dying out. She is dying, unless that’s what you want I don’t understand why you aren’t agreeing with this as well.” I growl
Briella POVDeath is simple. No one to tell you how to act, how to behave. No one to tell you what you shouldn’t wear or how to talk. No one tells you how you should be living or how important it is to live up to a certain standard. The darkness around me is peaceful, calming. I don’t feel like I’m going to burst into a million pieces or worry I’m going to kill anyone I care about. That peace didn’t last long though.“ Miss me?” A voice I never thought I hear again laughing“ Rome? Why are you here?” I groaned“ oh your lovely mate scent me here to bring you back” he announced sounded so excited“ Why are you so happy? And I figure
“ Am I supposed to remember?” I gasped trying to sit up only to have my head feel a little dizzy “ Take it easy, he told us memory loss was a possibility when pulling you out like this. It’s okay pup everything will be okay” he spoke to me as if I’ve lost my mind or something. Who is he? “ Wait, are you talking about Rome?” I whispered out in a huff. Breathing isn’t exactly the easiest right now. Taking in a deep breath I look at him waiting for an answer “ Do you remember Rome? Wait, what do you remember?” He asked sitting down on the bed next to me holding my hand in his “ I remember… telling my brother to get everyone in the packhouse.. and hearing Rome's voice in my head calling me weak.” sighing at how frustrating it is to not know anythi
“ Has my brother gotten back yet?” I asked dad as he fluffed my pillow and set a cup of tea next to my bed. They still haven’t let me leave this bright, uncomfortable room even though I’ve only been awake for a day. It feels like I’ve been here for weeks.“ yes, he got back about 20 minutes ago. He said he will come by and see you after he showers” he answers tucking the heated blanket around my legs“ Dad, you don’t have to do this, you know?” Untucking myself, he just groans. Dang someone’s cranky today.“ What's wrong?” I can tell by his need to baby me right now.“ It's just you don’t need me anymore. You have Erik to do all these things for you now. I re
“ When we get home there’s some things we need to discuss” Erik blurted out as he walked into the room with a bag to put all my stuff in. Aaron gave me the green light to be moved from this room to a bedroom. I can’t move around much because my legs are still really sore but being able to lay in a bed that doesn’t feel like a rock will be a dream come true. He sounded serious as he spoke, I wonder if he knows about what I planned with Alex. That would only suggest he was eavesdropping.“ about what?” Grunting I move myself around to the side of the bed to get up“ easy! And nothing serious, I mean it is serious but it’s nothing bad” he try to explain without giving it away to much“ Carefully stand up, if you can’t do it I don’
This morning was rough, Erik wanted to help me with everything but being so weak and needing help just to go to the bathroom is maddening. He hasn’t been to the office to do any work in the last few days or called Andrew for updates. I feel like a burden like this. He stepped out of the room for a second to take a phone call, and while he was in the hall I tried to walk to the bathroom by myself. At first it was going okay. I used the bed to hold myself up but then once I got to the end of the bed I had nothing to hold myself up with. Erik wanted to get me a cane but I was against it because I didn’t want to look how I felt. I thought about getting down on the floor and crawling but it’s my legs that aren’t up for anything. Maybe army crawl. I can feel my wolf on the inside hating herself for not being able to heal us faster. I really wish I had someone who could explain to me what the hell is wrong with me. When the door swung
“ Of course father. Let’s talk.” Aurther hissed“ Please you guys can have a private conversation in my office.” Erik announced making his voice louder than theirs. Andrew and Hunter showed them to Erik’s office I waited until the kitchen door closed behind them before turning my eyes back on Erik.“ what? Why are you giving me that look?“ he sighed knowing already what I was going to say.“Really do you need me to explain? You just gave him up as if you didn’t care what was going to happen next.” I yelled throwing my hands up in the air“ Whatever he would of did to Aurther would of been a lot better than him taking his anger out of our pack” he admitted
I woke up this morning enjoying the two bundles of joy inside my stomach. I woke up this morning happy. We picked out our house and I love it, it’s huge and has plenty of room for everyone. Then reality sets in. James is on his way here. I don’t know what he is going to do or if everyone here will make it out alive after it’s all over. What if he is coming for war? And the talk he wants to have with me and Erik is just a distraction. But what if he doesn’t want to fight and we push him towards it by throwing Amanda in his face? How do I know what I’m doing is the right thing? Pushing myself out of bed I freeze. I freeze with my feet pressed against the ground.“ He’s here” rings through my head. I repeat this to myself over and over again as if I can’t seem to let it sink in the way it should.&l
“ sir? What do you want us to?” He asked me over and over again but I wasn’t quite sure how I wanted to go about this. If Aurther is alive and kicking would Liam be? No, that's impossible. I buried him myself. Rubbing the back of my neck with my hand I paced back and forth in my office. I can’t help but wonder what all Aurther heard. Has he been able to read mh thoughts all these years? I remember what happened that night Liam died. And that night Aurther ran away for good. He was so angry with me without letting me explain. His foolishness ended with his brother's death. Not that I’m surprised he’s never cared about this pack or anyone else other than himself. Stopping in one spot by the book case when the office door opens up and my head warrior walks in again probably to ask what we are doing. “ trucks are ready sir” was all he said. I’ll admit I was kind of surprised they took matters into their
“ YOU DID WHAT??” He yelled at me over and over again. I don’t think he meant it in a way to hurt my feelings more or in a way to show how angry he was about me telling Aurther to alert his father without discussing it with him first. I just sat here listening to everything he had to say. All his worries and concerns. He even expressed to me how he was worried that if I did get hurt in battle I'd even notice because of my reaction from the glass cutting my stomach. And if I’m being completely honest I haven’t thought about that at all. It was odd that I didn’t notice, maybe it was because of the twins' powers. I haven’t even considered them in the situation of getting hurt either. I know that has to make me sound like a bad mom. But with the way they are protecting themselves I’m sure they will be fine. Right? But I also believe even being this far along that I can still protect myself. I haven’t h
Later that yesterday afternoon, Erik and I decided we needed to move out of the pack house. With two kids coming we knew they would be trouble and the pack house is made for business. After deciding this I couldn’t stop thinking about it, honestly I haven’t been shopping for the babies at all either. I mean I’ve gotten a few things here and there when we go to the store for other things but I haven’t been really shopping for them for all the big things. He agreed that we would go and look at houses after all of this is over, so I might ask to go shopping some as well. Sitting in the bathroom on the toilet I work up the courage to get up on my own. Only being a few months pregnant they are already twice the size a normal baby would be by now. One loves to press against my bladder at all ends of the night. Pulling my pants up I wobble over to the sink to wash my hands and face. My face is all broken out and my feet are so swollen
“ So what's the plan?” Amanda asked, holding an ice pack to her face. Just a few minutes Alora saw her flirting it up with one of the pack members and didn’t hesitate to let her know how she felt about it. It’s been years since they’ve been together but obviously Alora isn’t over it even though she was married to Liam. I wonder if she actually loved Liam then?“ Aurther still has a connection to his father, but he says he has a wall up so his father has no idea. Just hearing from Aurther like that could make him furious. Which will spark the flame and lead him right here. That’s where you come in.” I answered by passing over a cup of coffee to her. With getting punched in the face by her ex I felt like they needed it. Her hair is bright red and skin is fair. Her eyes are bright light brown color almost like honey. I let her borrow some clothes from girl
We got back to the hotel room. I'm surprised no one flinched seeing the big dude carrying a girl who seemed to be struggling and in need of help. Erik held on to her as Hunter grabbed the desk chair from one of the rooms and rope that I didn’t know we brought with us. With Hunter and Andrew standing by the chair he placed her in the chair. In the blink of an eye she was tied to it like a prisoner.“ We aren't going to hurt you” I said, trying to soothe the situation.“ Oh really?? Then why did your men kidnap me and tie me up like a wild animal?” She hissed yanking on her arms.“ Because we need to talk and you are obviously a flight risk.” Andrew explained placing a bottle of water to her lips as if she’s been sitting there for hours now.
The plane finally landed and I decided to keep what I read to myself till we got to the hotel. We still aren’t sure where Amanda is but I’m sure they have a lead on where she could be. We took a cab to the hotel which felt longer than the plane ride. Once we got there I still wasn’t allowed to help carry anything so I talked to the guy at the front desks to check us in. He was nice enough to give us a room here on the first floor since the elevator seemed to be down. Which is my luck since that happened at the last hotel we were at. Opening our hotel room I was amazed at how big it was. And the view was just as beautiful.“ Hey, I got to tell you something.” I mumbled into his head he looked me up and down making sure I was okay before responding.“ yeah?” He kept eye contact with me making it more and more
