His Little Wolf
Chapter 36

Beta Liam

The moment we hear the explosion my first thought is of Bethany, what the f**k 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, Jakes got her wrapped up in his arms and I instantly feel my anger re-surfing, f**k! 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 women 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 be safe with the warriors and I’ll be there as soon as I can!”

“Are you f*****g kidding me, Liam, I am your mate and I come first before anyone in this world including the f*****g Alpha and you will come with me right now!” I fight to hold back a growl at her disrespecting my Alpha and losing my s**t with her.

I don’t have the time or patience for this bollocks so I just grab a guard and ask him to escort her to my floor before walking off towards Cal while she screams s**t my way that I have no intention of listening to.

Cal, Jack, Ashley and I had only just started talking when he gets a link and he instantly starts shaking, anger and power radiating from him and I know I’m not going to like this.

”JACOBY IS MISSING!” He bellows out, I suddenly feel furious but I don’t fully understand why.”

“Liam, I know your confused but right now I need you to think of Jacoby as a possible enemy, but he’s not to be killed, not yet anyway!” Thankfully I know what he looks like but it’s f*****g pissing me off that I can’t remember s**t about him, I always remember, even more so when they are possible enemies. I swallow down my feelings and get back to the task in hand as we head out of the party and towards the pack hospital.

We come around the side of the packhouse and we’re all stopped in our tracks by the sight before us, holy f**k! I guess this explains the explosion we heard, there are fallen trees all over the place, two cars on fire and patches of grass are alight, I can see some bodies on the floor and instantly my heart starts hammering and my pulse quickens.

I sent some of our warriors to check the bodies while we continue forwards, we soon reach the hospital and docs waiting at the door for us while injured wolves are making their way inside the building.

“Doc, update!” Cals in Alpha mode and there’s no time for messing around.

“I was in my office when I heard a massive explosion, I quickly made my way around checking on all my patients and that’s when I saw that Jacoby was gone Alpha!”

“Why wasn’t I informed that he was awake?”

“He wasn’t Alpha. I was in his room ten minutes before this happened and he was still in a coma. Alpha there’s no way he woke up and was able to get away from here that quickly, even if he could walk straight away, he’d be slow and he wouldn’t have got far, I fear he’s been taken!”

“f**k!”

Bethany

The moment the sound of the explosion reached my ears and the shock rumbled through the ground to my feet I was instantly taken back to the day my old pack was attacked, the feeling that I was about to lose everyone quickly resurfacing, I swallow the bile rising in my throat as I relive everything.

“Are you ok sweetheart?” Brooke comes up behind me as I look out of the window of her living room facing the parklands, I know she knows what’s on my mind and as always, she’s right beside me when I need her most.

“I’m ok Brooke!” Her look says she doesn’t believe me.

“Honestly I’m ok sis, it brought back memories for a moment but I’m ok now, just praying everyone is ok. Any way you…when were you going to inform me that I’m going to be an Auntie again hmm?” I give her my teasing smile and thankfully it seems enough to take the attention away from me.

“We’ve only just found out and it’s early days so we agreed to keep it quiet for a bit, but honestly I know I wouldn’t have lasted keeping it from you, Cal knows it too even if he hasn’t said it.” Before we can carry on the conversation the door slams open and Calvin and Liam storm in the room looking seriously pissed off.

“What’s going on?” Brooke quickly asks Calvin the question we all want the answer to.

“We’re still not sure what kind of explosion it was, our men are looking into it but it came from the side of the packhouse, there’s fallen trees, grass on fire and two cars!” f**k this is bad!

“Bethany…Jacoby is gone!” Cal looks to me cautiously as he tells me what he knows about Jacoby disappearing and the fact that it looks like he may have been taken.

“Marcus!” I whisper out, as soon as Cal said Jacoby was gone, he was the first person I thought about.

“What if he’s on the parklands? What if he’s back for me?” I hear a growl in the room but I don’t know who it is as I’m instantly thrown into panic mode. My heart starts pounding and my breathing gets harder, I grip the window sill so tightly my knuckles turn white as I feel wetness spread across my hand and quickly realise it’s from the tears that are falling down my face.

I try to control them but they only get worse as sobs wreck my body and I struggle to hold myself up, I can feel myself being quickly pulled into a panic attack when I feel hands come down on my shoulders and I’m quickly spun around and pulled in to a hard chest, I sniffle back tears catching the person’s scent quickly realising its Liam and I look up to him as he gently rubs my back.

The look I see on his face is one of confusion, pain and sorrow, it’s like he’s having an argument with himself in his own head but I don’t want to think about it right now, at this moment I just need him. I need him close; I need him to help calm this raging panic that’s trying to take ahold of me, he always seems to be the one to calm me and I still may not know why but right now I’m just grateful that he’s here and can help me.

Beta Liam

I don’t know what the f**k is going on, I don’t know what this Jacoby guy is all about but every time I think about his name alone, I feel anger bursting inside of me. Why the f**k can’t I remember what he’s done or why I don’t like him? Me and Cal head for the

Alpha floor to check on the girls while Ashley and Jack lead the investigation on what the f**k explored and how whoever caused it managed to do it.

I’m anxious to get to the Alpha floor to check on them but I know deep down I’m more anxious to check on Bethany, I don’t know what the f**k is going on with me but she’s a child and I don’t like how my mind is working. Why do I keep forgetting s**t? It’s starting to concern me, maybe I need to see the doc?

The moment Bethany starts crying and a quiet sob wrecks her body I feel like my f*****g heart is breaking and I don’t feel like I have control over my body as I’m pulled towards her but the moment, I feel her in my arms my whole body relaxes and I soon realise that I don’t remember the last time I felt this relaxed. Lately, I’m always tense not even Sarah calms me like this and I don’t even feel

bad for feeling this way.

I look around and everyone is so relaxed with the fact that I am holding Bethany so close, soothing her, surely that’s not normal? I don’t have long to think about it as I see Calvin’s eye glaze over from him getting a mind link and the next words out of his mouth rile me like no other as I quickly realise there’s someone else on my s**t list and yet again, I can’t f*****g remember why?

“Jacoby, Beta John and Marcus are asking for permission to come on pack lands!” Cal’s anger quickly resurfaces along with mine.

“Leon, Zack, Kyle and Toby you will stay here and protect the women, you won’t leave their side until I return, ok?” They all quickly agree while their stance changes from relaxed to alert and ready to defend. Cal links the guards at the border to hold them pricks back while we head over to where they are closely followed by Jack, Ashley and a s**t load of warriors, Calvin looks ready to destroy them and I may not know why he does but I have his back, either way, both his and Jack’s.

Before long we see figures in the distance getting up close, I recognise them all and my unknown anger swiftly returns. Beta John is holding Jacoby up as Jacoby struggles to keep his eyes open, there’s no way they are here for a fight so what the f**k do they want?

“You have some guts showing up here Alpha Marcus, what do you want?”

“I have come for my Luna!” He tried to force out his Alpha tone but it doesn’t quite sound right and it does nothing to scare any of us here.

“We know all about your plan Marcus, Bethany is not your mate not chosen or otherwise!” Before I can stop Jonah, he lets out an earth-shattering growl at the mention of Marcus wanting Bethany as his mate, what the f**k is that about?

“Keep your panties on ladies, I’m not here for Bethany, I’m here for my true mate, my second chance mate, I’m here for Sarah!

WHAT THE f**k?
