His Little Wolf novel Chapter 16

Bethany

It’s been almost 4 hours since we left the parklands and usually, I would be ready to rip my hair out by now but I’m not even close, in fact, I don’t want the journey to end yet. Liam and I have chatted and laughed the whole way here, it’s crazy how much we have in common and how we can be in each other’s company without getting bored, well I can’t speak for Liam but it’s definitely that way for me.

We pull up outside the large house that we are visiting and I see him standing there waiting to greet us, I see Marcus, and very quickly reality sets in. My mind takes me back there, back to my original home, the place I lived until just 4weeks ago, where my family lived and where it all ended, the place I had to witness the lifeless bodies of my family and friends.

My chest starts to tighten up, my heart rate speeds up, my hands are clammy and I’m sweating as if I’ve just done a 20k run! Everyone has got off the bus by now and I’m pretty sure I’m all alone.

Jake: “Beth, are you ok?” I feel hands on my shoulders but I can’t see anyone, my vision is blurred as I try to catch my breath.

Jake: “Beth, what’s wrong?” He shakes my shoulders but I can’t speak, can barely breathe!

Beta Liam “What’s going on here?” I can feel my legs getting weaker as I try to hold myself up.

Jake: “I don’t know I was about to get out when I saw her like this.”

Beta Liam: “What the f**k have you done to her?” I can hear the anger in his voice but I can’t do anything, I start to slowly slide to the floor as I feel myself get weaker.

Jake: “I haven’t done anything, I swear!”

“Liam!” I use what little energy I have left to call out to him before my body crumbles towards the floor. Thankfully for me, I don’t hit the floor, strong arms catch me and scoop me up before I can.

Beta Liam: “Beth, what’s going on sweetheart?”

“I… can’t… breathe!” I manage to get out, my chest is hurting so much with how much my heart is pounding I swear I’m heading for a heart attack! He pulls me into his chest and starts gently rubbing my back.

Beta Liam: “It’s ok my little wolf, I’ve got you! just concentrate on breathing sweetheart, you’re going to be ok!” I concentrate on his voice and listen to what he says, working on my breathing and blocking everything else out.

Jake: “Is she ok Beta Liam?”

Beta Liam: “she will be, go get Alpha and Luna please!” I hear him shuffle off while I continue to work on my breathing and within seconds, I hear Brooke and Calvin’s voices getting closer.

Future Luna Brooke: “Beth sweetheart what’s wrong?” I try to talk but I can’t, I tighten my hold on Liam’s shirt and as if he can read my mind, he starts telling them what happened because he knows I can’t.

Beta Liam: ”I think she’s having a panic attack!”

Alpha Calvin: “I don’t understand, what could have caused it?” They are chatting amongst themselves when suddenly Liam completely stiffens up, I feel his fingers appear under my chin as he lifts it up until our eyes meet.

Beta Liam: “Beth, did you see Marcus? did he cause this?” Just hearing his name brings me back to square one with my breathing as I instantly start panicking while I nod my head to Liam still unable to speak.

Future Luna Brooke: “Oh Beth, I’m so sorry why didn’t I think about you seeing him again?”

Alpha Calvin: “Don’t blame yourself, baby, none of us thought about this!”

“It’s…not…anyone’s…fault!” I manage to spit out, I won’t have anyone be blamed for this apart from Marcus.

Beta Liam: “This isn’t anyone’s fault but Marcus!” He looks back at me and I haven’t taken my eyes off of him, he starts to rub gentle circles on my back while whispering reassuring words to me and after a few minutes of fighting I can finally feel my breathing calming down. Why does he have this effect on me?

Future Luna Brooke: “That’s it, sweetheart, keep breathing.”
