Chapter 211
+25 Bonus
My whole bodies feels numb as I plan the funeral of four people that have no body for us to say goodbye too.
The past few days have just been running through the motions and praying we can figure this out before anyone else around here falls pray to the monster doing this.
Liam is out with Walker dealing with pack business, Dallas is asleep in Liam’s chair, while Nick sits in front of me, eyeing Dallas sadly.
I look up from the papers on my desk and watch him, watch Dallas. “Nick.” I whisper, not wanting to wake Dallas up. “Hum?” He hums to me, then looks over at me slowly, like it’s hard for him to take his eyes off of Dallas.
“Your worried.” I state and he takes a deep breath and finally, nods. “I love you, Aims and I love Liam, and I understand why he wants to keep both of you safe. I get it. But who’s keeping him safe? Who’s making sure he comes home to me when this is all over?” He asks, staring into my soul.
I look over at Dallas and open my mouth, but no words come out, because he’s right.
No one’s looking out for him while he puts his life on the line for me. I know I’d give my life for him, but I also know he’d never allow it. He’d sooner die and rather it’s his wolf or him, it doesn’t matter, because in the end it’ll end up the same.
“Nick, you know I’d do anything to keep him from getting hurt.” I tell him and he nods his head, turning back towards Dallas.
He considers something for a minute and finally he turns towards me, and gives me his full attention. “There is something you could do.” He tells me and I raise my eyebrows, “What?” I ask, honestly curious.
He starts to say something, then shakes his head and looks to the ground. “Nevermind.”
“Nick, tell me.” I plead with him, and he looks up and sighs, “You could run away again.” Nick whispers and my eyes widen.
“What?” I ask him, like he’s speaking a different language. “Just think about it. This witch wants YOU dead. They’re going to make everybody in this pack suffer until they get what they want. Dallas and I can go with you. We can disappear again, and all this would be over.” Nick rushes and my brain short circuits.
“Nick… I… I can’t. I can’t just leave everybody again. They’d find us. Last time, I’m pretty sure the only reason I was able to get away was because of my necklace.” I explain and he stares into my soul.
“And you have it again. Dallas and I could use Griffon and Heather’s bracelets and you could use your necklace again. We could run away and this witch could never find you. They’ll be so busy looking for you, they’ll leave the pack alone.” Nick says and I just continually shake my head at him.
“Nick. You want all of us to lock down our wolves?” I ask and he shakes his head and stands up, beginning to pace the floor before me. “Of course I don’t want to, but we’d have to in order to get away. Amy, come on. What else are we supposed to do here. It’s the only logical option and you know it.” He tells me as I continue to shake my head at him.
“Nick, I can’t leave Liam again. I can’t disappear on my kids. I just can’t.” I tell him.
