Werewolf Compilations

Chapter 71

"Are you alright?"

I look down to see a familiar face, it's his Beta, Will. He nears me and I step back. "Can you help me? I

n-need to go home. I live at the Waters Pack."

He looks confused, then I notice Alpha Grant coming this way in the distance. "You're going home?

What for?" The Beta asks, but I continue to back away, not wanting to see Alpha Grant, but he's

already seen me. The air leaves my lungs and they shrivel.

I look back at the house and Gail is in the doorway. In a panic, I run around the house and head for the

only other place I feel safe. I need to get past the borders. I have to get off of this territory. The trees

engulf me and I hurry past them while continuously looking back, fearing him. I come close and I hear

the guards. "You're too close to the borders, turn back."

I keep going.

"Hey! I said turn back!" I look to the side and see two men quickly approaching me. I can't breathe.

They swiftly move in front of me, and I struggle to find my next move. "Are you alright?"

"You need to let me past," I breathe out.

They look amused. "We can't do that. It's dangerous out there. A girl like you wouldn't last a night with

those rogues."

"P-Please. I need to go home." I look back again, and I see him just beyond the trees with his Beta.

"Please."

"I'm sorry. You should go back before we have to move you back," he says.

"Look. I'm going to die here, please," I look back again, my heart racing, he's in the trees. "Please,

please, you have to help me. I have to go home."

They must see Alpha Grant in the distance because they straighten up and one of them grabs me,

holding my arm tight like a troublesome child. "Alpha," they greet him, and I bite my tongue.

"What have you got here?" He asks, his voice playing my heart like a violin. I hate it. I want to scream.

"Some girl trying to cross the borders. Says she wants to go home."

"Really?" He says and looks down at me with harsh eyes. I avoid his gaze and I can't help but cry

quietly to myself. I'm so tired—so very tired. "I'll take her from here."

"Are you sure?" One of the guards asks.

"I'm sure."

Before they hand me over, I beg, "Please don't. Please don't. Please. Please." Alpha Grant grabs my

arm and the other frees me. "Let go of me. I hate you! I hate you!" The guards look surprised and

confused, expecting a reaction out of their Alpha over my words.

"Got a mouth on this one," he says. "Let's go."

Alpha Grant takes me back to the house, and somewhere along the way Will disappears. When we get

inside, Gail isn't in sight, and I don't want to be alone with him. He lets me go once he closes the front

door, and I lean against the wall, desperate for comfort, for something good. "Please, just tell me why

I'm here," I say, looking up at him. "I don't understand why you're doing this to me." Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

He nears me, walking slow. "What am I doing to you?"

I want to run to him and pound at his chest. I want to scream and yell about her and about my things

and about my top in his bed. I want to cry because I'm not good enough and I'm being punished for it,

but I look directly into his eyes and say, "do you know what you're doing to me? Do you? Do you know

how it feels? I see her almost every night. Do you know what that does to a person?" His eyes watch

me closely. "But you don't care, do you? You don't care how I feel, or how I drink, or how I sit in the

backyard while she's here just so I don't have to hear it. If your goal was to make me feel useless and

unworthy, then you've done that, okay? I don't deserve this. Sorry if I was a disappointment, but no one

deserves this. If you want her, fine," saying makes my chest grow tight, "all I ask is that you reject me.

Don't make me watch."

There is a moment of silence, and just before I think he is going to say something, Will comes through

the front door, immediately destroying the moment and setting me back. I thought he was going to give

me some clarity.

Alpha Grant turns to him as if all of those words never left my lips. As they begin to talk about some

pack related issue, I sink back into the house and vanish without one glance from him.
