His Little Wolf novel Chapter 51

Beta Liam

Ariel’s piecing scream sends shivers down my spine as she runs to Ryder’s lifeless body, Alpha John is panting while wiping the sweat from his brow, he should look happy that he won but instead, he looks sad. I follow his eyes to find them placed firmly on Ariel and I quickly realise he’s filled with guilt for what he’s taken from her.

“Ariel I’m so sorry, I wish it didn’t have to be this way, I didn’t want to kill him but I had no choice!” She looks up to him, her face turns red and tears stream down her face and she starts screaming out at him, blaming him for it all and calling him every name imaginable.

Her behaviour is justified and I know Alpha John feels the same as the moment Ariel starts punching his chest hard and fast, he just lets her while he tries to calm her down, talking to her gently and offering his apologies.

It doesn’t take long for her to start calming down, she starts to crumble to the floor but John stops her before she can reach the floor and she crumbles into him and breaks down, I think deep down she knows that it isn’t his fault but right now nothing will make sense to her and we all understand that.

“MATE, MINE!” What the f**k? I turn around when I hear the growl to see it came from Jacoby and he’s staring at Ariel, oh f**k no! She hasn’t noticed Jacoby slowly walking towards her or heard his growl or claim on her but either way, I doubt this will end well.

I watch her waiting for her to sense it and within seconds she lifts her head off of Alpha John’s chest and starts to sniff the air, her face red and blotchy from crying has now changed to that of confused and scared. Jacoby continues to slowly approach Ariel but once he gets within reaching distance, she tells him to stop.

“Please don’t come any closer, Jacoby…I can’t!” She stands up and the moment her eyes meet his she whimpers out the words

“MATE, MINE!” Her tears slowly dry up but I can see how torn she is and my heart breaks for her.

“I don’t blame you if you think bad of me Ariel, what I did to Bethany was…is unforgivable but that’s not me, it’s not who I am, not really!” For the first time since I meet him, I finally feel like I’ve actually seen the real him, I won’t ever forgive him for what he has done to my girl but honestly right now, f**k he does deserve a break from the contrast punishments he keeps getting.

“Ariel, have you heard the story of how the spell on me was broken, of how a wolf risked his life to help me get back mine?” I shout across to Ariel, despite my personal feelings I’m going to try and help Jacoby.

“Yes, Beta Liam I have!”

“Do you know who helped me? Do you know who the wolf is that risked his life?” She shakes her head no but doesn’t say a word.

“It was Jacoby Ariel; Jacoby knew there was a chance I could kill him but he still insisted on helping. Ariel, I won’t ever forgive him for what he has done to my..to Bethany but I’ve watched him suffer, watched him pay and from the person I’ve come to know…he’s paid for his crime in more ways than one and I just wanted you to know the truth before you decide anything!” Jacoby sends me a grateful nod which I return but I don’t know if I’ve been any help to him.

“I know you’ve had a huge shock today and I can’t even begin to understand how you are feeling and I will respect whatever you decide. All I ask is you take some time to think before making any decisions, please?” His tone is gentle with Ariel not forceful just calm and I see it already having an impact on her.

She gives him a small smile just before her sister Hanna comes over and takes her in her arms and starts to lead her away, as she walks past Jacoby she stops and looks straight into his eyes, studying them.
