His Little Wolf
Chapter 43

Alpha Calvin

“ANSWER ME NOW!” Jacoby takes a step back away from me, he looks ready to s**t a brick but I don’t see any bad intentions in his eyes.

“I’m sorry Alpha, I… the doc cleared me to leave the hospital this morning, I waited around for a few hours but no one showed up to tell me what will happen next, so I decided to come and find you, I asked someone outside the packhouse where you were and he gives me the directions to your floor.”

“Hang on, you’re telling me someone gave you directions to my floor without asking who you are?” Is he f*****g serious?

“Yes, Alpha!” Ohh someone’s going to be sorry!

“Did you get his name?”

“I’m afraid not Alpha, but I would recognize him if I saw him again.”

“I expect you t-” Before I finish my sentence the lounge door swings open and a flustered Jack and Ashley storm in looking ready for war.

“Alpha is everything ok? Brooke said she could feel something was wrong, we told her to stay in the kitchen with Liam while we checked it out!” I have Ashley link, Brooke, to let her know everything is ok and quickly fill them in. I decide to have Brooke join us soon after, we need to discuss Annabella’s idea, what Jacoby heard and what we do next.

“Liam, can you cover my warrior class, please? it’s starting in 20 minutes but I want to stay with Brooke as she’s not feeling too great!” I feel s**t about lying to him but he’ll thank me in the end and Brooke really is struggling so I’m not completely lying but I also need him out of the way for a while.

“Of course, Cal grounds or building?”

“Grounds, hard course, mixed.”

“I’m on it Cal, let me know if Brooke needs anything!” Always looking out for others that guy. We don’t have time to waste so, Annabella and I make quick work of telling everyone about Annabella’s idea, everyone decides that despite the risk they like the idea too but before we can plan anything we need to talk to Bethany, to convince her to do this without her knowing all the facts, I just hope she will help us.

“Now back to you Jacoby, you may have explained how you knew where to find me but that doesn’t explain why you were listening in on private business or why you walked into my lounge without any permission!” He’s ready to s**t bricks look is quickly back before he summons up the courage to talk.

“I arrived outside your door ready to knock but then I could hear voices, I ended up listening to the conversation instead of knocking, I know it was wrong but by the time I had realized what I was doing it was too late for me to walk away, I had heard the part about you needing a decoy and as much as I knew I should walk away and pretend I didn’t hear anything, I knew it had to be me, I knew I needed to be the decoy!”

“While I appreciate your honesty, I’m still not happy and if I catch you sneaking around or doing anything like that again I will kill you on the spot, you have been warned!” He nods my way while looking generally sorry.

“Hold up, how much of the conversation did you hear? Did you…” f**k f**k f**k what if he heard about Beth and Liam’s bond?

“I did Alpha, I heard about Beta Liam being Bethany’s mate. I know it may not be worth much but you have my word that I won’t tell anyone, I think it’s pretty incredible, I’ve heard of it happening but never actually known anyone to experience it and honestly, I think they will be perfect together!”

“For f**k’s sake! I swear by everything I hold dear to me if you even so much as breath a word of this to anyone I will tear you apart limb by limb!” f**k I don’t trust him enough to have this information in his hands and I’ll have no problem destroying him if he tries anything.

“I won’t breathe a word Alpha, I won’t hurt any more innocent people, what I have done to Bethany still haunts my dreams every night!” I hope he’s telling the truth for his sake and everyone else.

“So why do you want to do this Jacoby? You know there’s a chance that you could die right? I can’t guarantee your safety if you do this.”

“I know that and I’m ok with it, I was a part of her k********g, I kidnapped a 15-year-old girl and what did she do? She forgave me, It’s unbelievable! From what I know of Beta Liam she has a great life ahead of her and I’ll do whatever it takes to help make that happen. If I die then I die, I don’t have any family or mate to leave behind, there’s no one to miss me but this could be what is needed to help Beta Liam and to secure Bethany’s future, it’s an easy choice for me, one I won’t regret making!”

I can see he’s not messing around here and as much as I hate his guts I’d be lying if I said I haven’t gained a small bit of respect for him.

Beta Liam

I am f****d after covering Calvin’s class and then doing my own I wanted nothing more than a hot shower and food but instead, I found myself walking the parklands for 3 hours, I haven’t got a clue why or where I was even going, it hasn’t made me feel any better either, I’m not sure what will right now apart from being free of this spell that’s got a hold of me.

I’m heading back to the packhouse when I walk past the back entrance to the cells and before I know it my feet are dragging me inside and right for her cell.

“Hey beta, Liam, I didn’t know you were coming down here?”

“Hey Toby, I didn’t know myself, how’s it going down here?”

“Yeah, all good so far, they seem to be behaving, not that I’ll lower my guard don’t worry, Ryan’s in with Sarah now.” I nod and thank him before heading inside the s**t tip of a cell, I tell Ryan to take a break, it’s just me and her now and I want and need answers!

“Liam, finally you came, please help me, we need to be quick before Ryan comes back!” Wait does she think I’m here to get her out?

“I’m not here to get you out Sarah, I’m here for answers!”

“Stop being silly Liam and hurry!” A laugh slips past my lips at how genuine she is being right now. I move over to the corner of the

cell and pull Ryan’s chair over so I’m sitting facing her, she’s cuffed to a chair by sliver handcuffs, not enough to harm the pup but enough to keep her held down, she tries to give me her sad pouty look but it’s not working on me anymore and she knows it.

“Why, Sarah why?”

“Why should I tell you anything, Liam?”

“Because I deserve the truth!” She looks almost guilty for a moment before quickly masking it.

“None of it matters anymore Liam!”

“The f**k it does, you have ruined my life, your life and that pup’s life!” I point to her stomach as I feel anger pool in my stomach.

“I wanted you, Liam, I deserved you, there’s no one out there better for you than me but you were too stupid to see it so I give you a nudge in the right direction that’s all!” what the…

“You’ve lost it, Sarah, you’ve actually lost it! You didn’t deserve me and I certainly didn’t deserve to end up with you and your lies, f**k you put a spell on me that’s not giving me a nudge that’s controlling me and bending me to your will!”

“We’re good together Liam and you know it!” It’s at this moment that I realise that no matter what I say to her she’s never going to understand what she’s done, or she’s never going to choose to, I’m wasting my breath here.

“Tell me one thing…. the pup…. who’s the father? And I want the truth!” She looks me dead in the eyes, considering her words before she speaks.

“Marcus is, I’m so sorry Liam! But he’s going to die soon, we can still be a family just the 3 of us!”

“Thank you for being honest with me, goodbye Sarah!” I can’t look at her for another moment. I call Ryan back as I leave her cell,

she starts bellowing from behind me but I’m not paying her any attention when voices catch my attention, looking up I see Calvin and Bethany coming down the steps towards me.

“Hey brother what are you doing here?” Cal calls out to me before they even reach me.

“I came for answers off Sarah but as you can guess I didn’t get anywhere, she’s either too good at playing this game or she’s seriously lost it, but she did admit that the pup is Marcus’s!”

“How do you feel actually hearing it from her own mouth?” He looks concerned but he doesn’t need to be.

“Honestly I feel relieved! I will have pups one day but not with someone like her! Anyway, why are you guys down here?”

“Beth wanted to see Marcus, she wants answers to!” My anger quickly resurfaces thinking of what he’s done to her, f**k I want to rip his throat out and I just want them both gone and this over!
