Chapter 78
A spring poked into her hip. The scratchy, threadbear covers under her fingertips. Footsteps echoed up her steps, her head swam in fear. Her heart pounded so hard and her stomach lurched. She was going to be sick but she couldn’t or that would be something else to clean. Had she not been beaten enough that day? Her hands shook as she grabbed the dress beside her, bundling it beneath the sheets to hide it. It was all she had to wear for the next day. She just ensured it was completely hidden with no lump in the sheets as she heard someone outside her door.
The door creaked open, the hinges much louder than she thought they should be. They were shrill in her ears.
A body slipped through the crack the door had opened. “Jack,” she breathed a sigh of relief, his slender but strong frame contrasted Mic

Luca Flashback part 1Luca looked to each member of his new pack, he had never witnessed such infighting. “What do you know Jack?” his deep, eloquent voice rippled through the room. Jack turned to face him “Alpha, Alissa was accused of something she never did. An assumption was made and no-one cared about the truth. Just that they had a scapegoat. They've made her life a living hell ever since” Jack took a breath.Michael snorted, “You saw her covered in blood... She turned and lost control, she took our parents by surprise and slaughtered them... she's a murderer” Michael looked from Luca to Jack. Jack shook his head “I saw her first turn, it was slow and painful. She came to me three months after our parents died. She was pale and sweating, she started convulsing and I knew. I knew

Luca Flashback part 2“Natalie!” He ensured his voice boomed throughout the house, but for good measure he pushed it through his thoughts knowing she would hear. He drummed his fingers against the desk, setting his face in a scowl. He shouldn’t have to wait this long, the house is not that big.He was just about to call her again when his door opened; she didn’t knock. She flounced in, her red hair swishing as her hips swayed suggestively. “Sit.” Luca gestured to the chair in front of his desk but she flounced right past them. She sat on his desk “Come on baby don’t be like that. I know you need to be strong Alpha but you don’t have to be with me” her voice flirtatious.“Sit on a chair” Luca grumbled av

The stony silence enveloped the car painfully as Luca drove south, far, far south. Alissa and Michael were both sporting crossed arms glaring daggers at each other. The darkness of the night was starting to give way to day, their features lit up by the yellow street lamps at regular intervals and the sun not quite at the horizon. Luca rubbed his face, stretching his fingers from gripping the steering wheel for so long.“Have you two finished yet?” Luca snapped at the thick atmosphere.“No.” Alissa sulked, clenching her jaw.“You could have told me,” Michael pouted.“And you could have kept your trap shut!” Alissa retorted, twisting in her seat.

Alissa stepped out of the car admiring the low hedges and rolling manicured lawns. She had never seen grass so short, or lines running through it. A man in his twenties ran to them, his short black hair blending in with his black suit “Alpha Luca, you're right on time, let me show you to the meeting room”“Thank you” Luca replied carefully, entwining his fingers in Alissa's, he followed the young man, Michael bringing up the rear.They entered the house and Alissa let out a gasp. The white walls with gold accented mouldings gave decoration that made Alissa think of money. She looked up to a huge crystal chandelier glinting in the light. The man led the trio down a tall arched hallway before knocking on a large white double door, pushing it open to reveal a meeting room. Rufus' white hair almost camouflaging in the wal

An arm went around Alissa and she was suddenly pulled back and slammed into the intricately painted wall. A large hand went around her throat and tightened before she was lifted, her legs dangling helplessly below her. Panic exploded in her chest, memories filtered into her mind of all the times she was in the same position. She was back in the office. She was back being a slave. She was alone, back being the whipping pole. She struggled desperately, her fingernails digging into the hand pinning her in place but then as quickly as it happened the hand disappeared from her neck.Alissa landed but didn't manage to regain her footing, falling heavily to the floor in a heap. She looked up to see her attacker being wrestled by two large burly men, similar build and height to Malachi. Cain between them, a sick twisted smile on his face. “I'm sorry, miss” one of the burly men mutte

A few hours later. Wade led Luca, Alissa and Michael to another room, this one larger than the previous meeting room. Instead of a large table however, seven throne like chairs were sat on a plinth. Two tables stood opposite each other on an angle towards the chairs. Cain sat behind one of the mahogany tables, chains clinking at every movement.The three sat at the other table, Alissa turned to face the chairs instead of looking at Cain. Movement could be heard at the door. Alissa gulped as Rufus walked in front of her followed by five other men. Alissa recognised Raoul and John from when they had come to deal with the vagrant. She also obviously recognised Wade, the other two men were strangers. They all took their seats, one being left empty… the seventh council member.Alissa quickly asked Luca in her mind

A few moments later a phone was handed to Rufus, he dialled and everyone waited “Hello, it's High Lykos Rufus… No no problem I was wondering if Kristen was around… yes, yes I'll wait.” Rufus looked around the room “See what she had to say shall we?” he focused back on the phone, pressing it so everyone could hear “Not a word Cain, Miss Howthorne” Alissa nodded, Cain just stared seriously. They heard a rustle then “Hello?” her voice crackling through the phone“Hello is that Kristen?”“Yes, Blake said you wanted to speak to me High Lykos? Is my brother OK?”“Yes dear he's fine I just need to ask-”“Darling it's daddy just tell… them… that-” every cou

A little while later, Wade came to collect them and brought them back to the room they had previously been in, six of the chairs full once Wade took his seat. Cain was already sat behind his table. The two guards now stood behind him. “Miss and Mr Howthorne, you made excellent cases, well done. Of course Alissa, I should really be calling you Alpha, but I shall wait until after the ceremony, which I'm excited to be attending. Alpha Luca, you're doing an excellent job and the siblings next to you are a testament to that. I'm happy the Wuffaman pack is in excellent hands and wish I would live to see the day you take your position as High Lykos.” Luca sat straighter and exuded pride at Rufus' kind words.“Now, Cain, all I can say is you're a disgrace. Even if these allegations hadn't been made I'd be revoking your position with the council”
