In Between The Alphas
Chapter 105

"What do you mean she's my sister?"

"The patrol caught her trying to sneak into the pack and she claimed to be your sister."Jake explained, "She looks nothing like you but she says she has a message from your dad." "We'll be right there."

I hung up the call and instantly moved into action. I pulled one of Logan's sweatshirts over my head in haste. What the hell is Liana doing here?

"Relax, Charlotte," Logan's voice cut through my racing thoughts, "No matter what she wants; we'll handle this together."

"I just," I trailed off and started pacing.

Logan stood in front of me; effectively stopping my pacing and forced me to look at him.

"What's wrong baby?"

"I don't know what she wants," I began, "And it- it takes so much for me to be brave in front of her and I don't know if I can do it."

"You can," he assured me, "I'm going to be right there with you; okay?"

"Okay," I nodded.

He kissed me softly, "Let's go."

We got to the border where Jake was waiting for us.

"Describe the girl," Logan didn't waste any time before asking.

"She has black hair, green eyes, kind of short and very f*****g rude."

"Does that ring a bell?" Logan asked and I nodded.

"It sounds like Liana."

"I want you to stay close to me." Logan's voice held no room for negotiation so I nodded.

Jake led us forward and I smelt her before I saw her. She was in skin tight leggings and a ripped black top. Her heels and clothes were muddy; leaving me to think she had to do some weird things to sneak in here. Then to top it off; she had her signature scowl on her face.

"Hello Liana," I spoke softly and her eyes cut to mine.

Her scowl deepened, "I'd say it's nice to see you but I would be lying; you look like shit."

"You've looked better yourself," I said simply, "What do you want?"

"Aren't you going to invite me into your pack?"

"No," my answer was curt and simple, "You can either tell me what you want or get dragged out. It's your choice really."

She ignored me and turned to Logan whose hand hadn't left my waist.

"Hi, I'm Liana; I'm Charlotte's sister." She gave him a seductive smile, "You must be Logan; I've heard so much about you. I can only imagine that you'd be more diplomatic to speak to."

I almost scoffed. She did not just flirt with my mate in front of me.

"I can see why you ran away now." Jake whispered to me and I stifled a laugh.

Liana shot daggers at me. She looked prepared to speak when Logan cut in.

"If you won't speak to Charlotte then you won't speak at all." He said simply, "And while I will not enforce that you refer to her by her title; I will enforce that you give her the respect that comes with the title. She may be your sister but here she is Luna." Shame washed over Liana's features while pride filled mine. It took everything in me not to reach over and kiss him.

"Why are you here, Liana?" I asked again.

"Father wishes for you to come back home."

"If that is all then you can tell him my answer is no." I turned to leave.

"No wait," the urgency in her voice stopped me, "She is going to kill us if you don't go to her."

"Who is she?"

"The witch Hunter had," she gave me an exasperated look, "You know her; stop pretending like you don't."

"What's it to me?"

"Didn't you hear what I said?" she asked, "She will kill us. You can pretend to be a bitch all you want but I know that you will do anything for us."

"I would have done anything for you a year ago. I may have even still considered it a few months after father sold me to be married to that oaf." I saw her wince slightly, "But I will never consider it now; especially not after you watched how he treated me in that cabin." "Charlotte-,"

"Do not call me that," my voice was barely above a whisper, "You knew what he did to me and you laughed about it. I remember it all. You aligned yourself with Hunter; you can get yourself out of that mess. I couldn't care less if you burnt in hell." "If you won't do it for me then do it for Carmen," she yelled, "She's pregnant; it's a child, you can't hurt an innocent child."

"I was a child when she betrayed me," I scoffed softly, "And besides; the child is better of dying than being brought into that family."

"You were never like this. You've changed."

"It seems you didn't know me as well as you thought you did,"

I turned to leave and it happened so fast. One second everything was fine; and the next, Jake was pulling me out of the way while Logan's hand whipped out and caught something. He let out a warning growl. "Are you okay?" Jake asked and I nodded.

I turned and saw Logan holding a huge rock in his fist. From the look on Liana's face; she was the one who threw it.

His knuckles turned white as he crushed the rock between his fists. The next second he had Liana's neck in a tight hold against the tree while she gasped for air.

"Logan," I pleaded but he didn't respond to me.

I moved towards him but Jake kept me in place. "Don't; he has to punish her for what she did."

"I let you say whatever you wanted," Logan wanted, "I let you run your mouth. But it wasn't enough and you tried to harm my mate on my territory."

"Please," Liana gasped out as she clawed at his hands.

"I can kill you where you stand and nothing would happen. You breached my lands first and insulted my Luna." Her already white face went even paler, "But as it is; you are still her sister; so I'll show you mercy." He threw her to the floor and she wheezed heavily while trying to inhale large gulps of air.

"You have ten seconds," Logan said as he walked back to my side, "Before the guards and trackers start looking for you."

"I don't understand."

"If you're caught; you will be executed instantly."

"Charlotte please; you know I'm not good at running," she turned to me with a pleading gaze, "I'm your sister; I am begging you."

A part of me felt pity for her but another part of me knew she deserved worse. Besides, I can't go against Logan's orders in public.

I turned away from her and walked over so I was standing next to Logan. Realization dawned on her features and she looked down at herself. She knows she can't outrun them.

She snapped the heels off her shoes and shot me one more pleading look, "Please; I'll die."

"I never ran a day in my life. But I got out; didn't I?" I asked, "I wish you all the luck I never had."

"You have ten seconds," Logan repeated, "They start now."

She took off without another thought and Logan turned to the guards.

"Give her fifteen seconds; then you can chase."

He turned to me, "Do you want to go home now?"

I nodded and he led me to the car. Jake was about to get into his car when Logan stopped him.

"If we have any visitors like that again," he paused, "Kill them; then call me after."

"I will."

Logan opened the car door for me and I gingerly sat in.

"Will she die?" I asked as he took his spot behind the wheel.

"She will if they catch her."

"They will catch her."

"Have a little faith in her; she almost snuck in here. She may just escape."

"She won't; you know that."

"They won't catch her," he assured me, "The person I want dead is your father. I'm not against collateral damage but I need her to go back to him. That way; he will know that if he comes within 100 feet of you. I will kill him." I swallowed deeply. "Why do you want him dead?"

"Do you want another reason other than the fact that he sold you to that bastard?"

"Is it wrong that a part of me wanted her dead?"

"No." he said and a high pitched scream cut through the air.

"I thought you said they wouldn't catch her."

"They won't catch her," he repeated, "But it doesn't mean that they won't hurt her."

"Logan-,"

"She may not have been the main villain but that does not mean that she didn't hurt you," he said, "She watched while they hurt you and she never did anything about it. She deserves to be hurt just as much as they deserve to die." I inhaled sharply. Never has someone felt so fiercely on my behalf before.

"Are you scared of me?" he asked and I thought about it for a while then shook my head, "Good; I may be a monster but never to you."

"You're not a monster."

He gave me a small smile, "Let's get you home."
