Prologue
The sun speckled down as I looked up at it, I admired it’s bright beauty while thanking it for such a beautiful day, I guess I had to also thank Mother Nature that the sun was beaming the right temperature, the wind breezed at the right paces and direction, and the low pollen made it suitable for the children to be outside and on the go. I thanked the Lord for such a beautiful day, I allowed my eyes to drop back to the aisle before me, I stepped onto the black carpet with white rose petals decorating the edges with a gracious smile o my face because Barry had managed to talk his Father into change the colors for the wedding. I clutched the bouquet with a heavy breath before slowly progressing down the aisle, I walked at the beat in my head as I smiled down the aisle at Barry while he stood in his black uniform, he was handsome and looked genuinely happy. I wore a white tuxedo, meaning purity for me and we were uniting my purity with his power. I smiled at Frances as he stood and started to lowly cheer me onward, beaconing me to move faster down the aisle while whooping and hollering while Alexander could only shake his head and give me an apologetic look. Alpha stood beside Barry, also watching me walk the length of the black carpet that was rolled out, I looked to see Quincy fiddling with the collar of his tiny tuxedo with his face, hands, and every other part of his body covered in fur. He pouted cutely when Alpha gave him a pointed look that told him to stop getting all the attention drawn to him, he held the pillow tightly in his hands with the two rings sitting atop it. Beside him, Sundai wore a cute black dress with a big white rose at the waist while it was fluffy at the bottom to add to the adorableness as she grinned a toothless grin and twirled the flower basket with extra white flowers around on the floor. Lastly, Admire sat on the side of Alpha, holding a pretty big book that looked slowly ruining with age, I noticed the edges of my eyes become blurry as I looked at the people occupying the chairs while they grinned and whooped me down the aisle. I looked at my three triplets with a grin on my face, they all looked so adorable in their outfits while Barry looked so manly in his tuxedo, I reached the double-step stage and stepped up carefully before smiling at Barry as he moved to help me. I allowed my clasped hands to drop lower as I held my bouquet tightly, I gently brushed my very slightly protruding abdomen as I smiled up at Barry with a large grin on my face, I couldn’t believe my luck. I handed my bouquet to Jacob as he took his rightful position on my side and gave me a large beaming smile, making me lightly chuckle as I turned to face Barry and shoot him an ever so happy grin. I knew he was also happy because he no longer had to deal with Groomzilla who wanted everything to be just the way I always wanted it whenever I was a child, I took his hands and Barry lifted mine to kiss my knuckles while the crowd cheered him on, causing him to laugh as well. I returned the gesture and gently pecked his knuckles as Alpha cleared his throat to catch everyone’s attention, the sour bug took a heavy draw of breath before starting the ceremony.
“We come today to witness love at it’s finest,” He paused and cocked his head before continuing, “these two, Barry, the future Alpha of Else Creek , and Avery.”
He cut his eyes to me as I ignored his low blow and smiled at Barry, who was finding it harder to let the small shot go, he cut his eyes to his Father and stared at him with an almost threatening look as I pulled his hands to get his attention once more. Barry looked at me with his eyes glimmering, he was happy to be with me right now and I was happy he was the ones standing in front of me instead of someone else. I reached up and caressed his cheek as he smiled at me with so much love and happiness, I dropped my hand back to his as I felt my tears only well more and nervously took a heavy breath to keep them at bay.
“Do you, Barry, take Avery to be your husband?” Alpha asked, I waited for Barry to answer as he smiled at me.
“I do.” Barry said, no hesitation as he stared at me before reaching up and wiping a fallen tear that had managed to escape the barrier.
Alpha turned to me as I reached up and helped him wipe my face cleaner, I wasn’t worried about getting makeup on anything because I didn’t have to wear any, I only had eyeliner circling my eyes and because I had cried earlier, it was already wiped off to prevent it form staining my white tuxedo.
“Do you, Avery, take Barry to be your husband?” Alpha asked.
I sniffed as I smiled at Barry. “I do.” I said.
I reached up once more and caressing his cheek as his eyes started to water up graciously, I gently mouthed I love you to him to not interrupt the proceeding as Alpha gestured Quincy forward. Quincy boringly drug his feet forward as Barry smiled at me then turned to grab the ring that was waiting on the pillow, I grabbed the ring for Barry quicker as he chuckled while I gave him a big smile. Barry held his hand out and I slid the ring on, perfect fit with it not being too big to slip off or too little to be uncomfortable, I lifted Barry’s large paw and kissed his warm palm before smiling up at him as he turned to grab his ring from Quincy’s small ring pillow. Quincy released one side of the pillow just as Barry went to grab the ring, the pillow fell into his hand and the ring went falling to the ground, a loud gasp filled the air as I stared in shock while trying not to laugh at this serious situation, my ring was on the ground and I found it hilarious! Barry wore a face of horror as Quincy quickly reached down and lifted the ring, he held up for Barry to grab as a wave of calm washed over my newly wedding husband while he took the ring with a sigh of relief.
“Don’t let him be your ring-bearer.” Barry warned the crowd, causing them to erupt with laughter as I shook my head while playfully swatting his chest. “Alright, all seriousness now.”
I held my hand out for Barry to slip my ring on, which he did and just like his, it was the perfect fit and it was beautiful with the shank dusted in many small diamonds that glittered in the bright sunlight. I bit onto my bottom lip hard to keep from crying as I looked up at Barry, I could see the trust, love, and life gleaming in his eyes as he stared at me with so much care and protection, I trusted him. I loved him. I needed him in my life. He gave me the will to live, I didn’t wait to hear Alpha say we could kiss, I lurched forward and immediately smacked my lips against Barry as he chuckled but returned my kiss none of the less. I moaned as I opened my mouth and allowed some of his tongue inside. I heard the playful gags from Sundai and pulled away as she frowned at us in disgust, I knew she didn’t understand so I didn’t worry about explaining it as I laughed and pecked Barry on the lips playfully.
This
! This is what I’ve been waiting for the entire time.
I swayed my hips while scanning the crowd as the twirled and grinded against one another while the beat boomed through the small stereo nearby, I looked back at Barry as he did this weird dance that made me laugh. I rocked my hips against his as Quincy took the spotlight and started to copy his father's dance moves, I backed off as Barry saw it as competition and allowed Quincy to go before Quincy paused and looked at his father. I continued to dance as the beat switched up a little and started mouthing the words to Barry as he pulled me close to him and hugged me tight to his body. I pulled back from Barry and smiled up at him, he smiled back down at me and leaned down to kiss me on the lips, making me moan as I ran my fingers through his silky smooth hair. I wrapped my arms around his neck and wiggled my tongue along his as he placed his hands on my hips and slowly slid his hands down, finally, this was how it was suppose to be. I pulled away and snickered lightly as Barry smiled down at me, his eyes glistened in the candle lights as the night continued to fall and it was slowly growing near the time of departing from the pack.
I took a step back as I looked up to the sky and knew that there was only the faith of God that got me this far, and he would get me farther the more I listened and believed. I grabbed Barry's hand and started to lead him to the new hut with a large grin on my face, telling all that stared on that tonight was going to be a busy night for him and I, and I could only hope we would have no interruptions. Fran was watching the triplets and Alpha knew ahead of time that we both would not be coming to his call anytime soon, I opened the door to the hut and stared at the King sized bed pushed against the far wall with a bigger kitchen and more moving space for us to walk around. Barry closed the door behind himself before grabbing me and lifting me off my feet, he cupped my butt and stalked over to the bed before plopping me down and playfully jumping on top of me. I laughed at his childish act before leaning up and kissing him with a glint of excitement in my eyes, I moaned as he trailed his fingers down my legs and started to work on the pants of my tuxedo.
"I love you, Avery." I smiled up at Barry as he stared down at me. "But...
I can't do this
."
And just like that, he was gone. He left me.
# Chapter One
"
Avery, rise up, my child
." Someone hissed in my ear, making me shiver as I quickly pulled my eyes open and looked around cautiously. "
I call to you
."
It was almost midnight and I could help but groan as I sat up with a cramp in my neck, I glanced over to see Barry was also sleep with Abbigail entwined in his arms, I closed my eyes again and glanced around with a frown. I became curious as I looked around the hut once more, of course that was just a dream because I knew that Barry would never upset his father for me, he wanted the Alpha title so bad that he allowed it to cost him eternal love and affection. I glanced over at Barry and Abbigail as they laid close to one another, how was she not angry that he had sex with me just yesterday and what made her so special that Barry would decide to cuddle up to her...
the baby
. I closed my eyes and slowly shook my head as I laid back down on my side of the bed, I couldn't contain another shiver as I moved closer to Barry's back for his warmth, dosing off once more.
I rolled over to find the spot beside me empty... of course they were gone already and I should of expected that what we shared that the day before yesterday night meant nothing to him, it pissed me off that Barry bitched about Abbigail then got back with her just yesterday. It angered me to no end that he was always choosing her over me, but what did I expect, he was married to her and she was having his child, his fourth child. I slowly pulled myself up and looked toward the three occupied toddler beds to find all of them empty, panic rose inside of me as I pulled myself up and hissed in pain. The pain was great enough to bring me to my knees as I clutched my lower abdomen, my stomach twisted in agony and I took heavy breaths while willing the pain to go away, damn... ever since I've been here, I've been dealing with nothing but pain. I whimpered as the pain finally lessened and I was close to withering on the floor, I closed my eyes and leaned forward to brace my forehead against the floor. A cold breeze entered the hut as the door opened and I quickly curled up to shield away from the cold that caused me to shiver with my hands freezing and my feet feeling like they were stuck in ice cubes. I looked up while still shivering, Barry looked at me in confusion while slowly sinking down on one knee beside me, his large meaty paw touched my shoulder and I felt like a strike of electricity shocked me suddenly. I pulled away from him alertly before looked to see who followed him in the hut as I continued to viciously shake, I looked up in confusion as Wayne stepped in with Abbigail walking beside him. I was very grateful as Wayne came and stooped on the other side of me with worry written on his face, he reached over and grabbed my face to make me look at him as I hissed at his touch as well, however, I didn't find the strength to pull away as I sunk into his warmth. Wayne surprised me by wrapping his arms around me and gently rubbing my back while nervously looking at Barry, who I was sure didn't care but the way Wayne stared at Barry with alertness told me Barry was either pissed or irritated that I wasn't coming to him for warmth and comfort. I slowly pulled away with yet another heavy shiver before squeezing my eyes tightly to get the upper hand, I looked at Wayne and reached up to touch his skin as he recoiled away from me.
"You're freezing." He said, making me look down at my shaking fingers, what's going on? "Maybe we should get you to the Medical Hut, or Alpha, maybe he-"
"N-No, n-not him." I said abruptly, grabbing Wayne as he went to get up.
Wayne frowned but stooped back at my side as I turned to Barry with the attempt to tell him to get me a blanket but I kept shivering and couldn't get a word out, something wasn't right and I knew it but I didn't want to go get poked with Alpha, he was always so sensitive about the simplest stuff. Barry was staring at me with a distant look, as if he was upset but was trying not to show it, that serves him right for being such a douchebag all the time. Thankfully, Abbigail carelessly threw a blanket in our direction and Wayne shot her a glare, she retorted with one as well before turning and walking toward the kitchenette. I turned from Barry as he averted his eyes when he realized I knew his actual feelings and that he was actually upset that Wayne was dotting all over me, but I was enjoying it. I gave Wayne a thankful look as he wrapped the blanket around me, I enjoyed the warmth of the thick blanket as Wayne rubbed the fabric up and down my arms.
He looked at Barry. "I got it from here." Wayne said, looking back down at me as I sunk into his embrace.
"I'll get him some soup, you can lay him on the bed a-" Barry started.
"I'll just take him back to my hut, it's naturally warmer." Wayne said, cutting him off while lifting me into his arms.
"No, you will not." Barry said, his voice growing low as he went to stick his arms out to take Wayne's place.
"Yes, I will, he needs to be at my hut, right now." I looked between Barry and Wayne in confusion.
"Why?" Barry asked. "So you can take advantage of him while he's weak?" Oh, and Barry had a lot of room to talk... not!
"I'm not a monster like you are." Wayne growled, making me stiffen in confusion that he found out what happened in the alley. "I would never hurt Avery like that, and he's not even my mate."
Barry stiffened up as well as he stared at Wayne with his eyes becoming red because of the anger he felt, I blinked furiously in the hopes that his eyes were still their natural color because I knew Barry was about to rip the hut apart. Wayne took a step back, making me jar in his arms a little and it only made me feel worse that my stomach was still twisting and revolting against my body as I shivered and sunk farther into Wayne's warmth as his chest rumbled with every threatening and humiliating word he said to only infuriate Barry more.
"You don't know me-" Barry started, trying to calm himself with deep breaths.
"But I know of you, fuckwad." Wayne said, making me look up at him unsurely. "You've put him through enough, just let him go-"
"Fuck no, he's my mate!" Barry yelped, shoving Wayne's shoulder angrily. "Put him on the bed."
"No! He's coming with me." This was getting out of hand very quickly.
"P-Please... s-stop." I tried as Barry shoved Wayne again, Wayne stumbled.
I gasped as I felt like I was flying before the heavy ground made contact with my body, or my heavy body made contact with the ground and pain rushed up to my head as it bounced off the hardwood floors. I winced as I reached up to grab my head while a loud shout was heard and I felt someone grabbing my arm while my vision blurred, that asshole dropped me! I frowned as I looked up at a blurry Barry as he tried to mouth something to me, or at least he was saying something but I couldn't hear it over the ringing of my ears from my head hitting the ground.
"Look what you made me do, you asshole!" I whined at Wayne's angry yelling made my head hurt.
"You d-dropped me." I shivered accusingly, turning to look at Wayne as he reached to grab me off the ground.
"Don't touch him." Barry said angrily, his eyes flashing between their normal grey and Alpha red hue.
"He doesn't need you!" Wayne growled angrily, shoving Barry back before making yet another grab to grab me.
What the hell is going on here? I looked between Barry and Wayne as they stood face to face, Barry could easily rip Wayne apart but it seemed like something was holding him back from doing so. I shivered again, looking over as Barry touched my shoulder and warmth entered my system almost immediately. I moved toward him the best I could to indicate I wanted more of his touch to warm me, Barry kneeled beside me and started to caress up and down my arms as I sensed Wayne taking a step back. I glanced in his direction to see the large frown on his face as he stared between me and him, I knew it angered him to see us this way and I didn't blame him because I knew he wanted me just like I wanted Barry but we all can't have what we want. I sighed at the warmth now encasing me, my shivering seized as I still sat on the ground of the hut, I was confused on how Barry and Wayne entered the hut together, considering they hated each other now.
"He needs to come with me." Wayne started up once more after awkward silence.
"Get out." Barry stated, glaring up at him before looking back down at me.
"You're making a huge mistak-"
"No, you're the one making a mistake, get the fuck out of here before I can't hold myself back anymore..." Barry warned, making me snap my head up at him in shock.
I bit my lip nervously before looking over at Wayne with unsureness, I wanted him to leave so Barry wouldn't hurt him because Wayne was a good person and I wanted to be friends with him, if not more one of these days. I wasn't making a choice yet and to be honest, I didn't know who I wanted to be with and while there wasn't much of a choice with Barry because he was with Abbigail, it still ate me up to no end and I wanted to do what was right for myself and the triplets, they needed their father more than I did.
"Av-" Wayne tried to call for me as I shivered very hard.
"Get out!" Barry snapped, pulling me against his chest protectively as he red Alpha eyes bubbled with anger.
Wayne and Barry glared at each other before Wayne took the leave, thankfully, I really didn't want to see them fighting each other. I looked up at Barry in confusion as he continued to squeeze me tightly to his chest while his red Alpha eyes glowed dangerously, his wolf was fighting to take over and it was protecting me. I knew the reason for this act was because to his wolf,
I
was his mate, not Abbigail but with Barry as his own self conscious,
she
was the one he wanted to protect. I watched as Barry released a heavy breath before closing his eyes and squeezing them tightly together then opening them to their original grey and everything was back the way it was, but this time I was warm and not suffering from the invisible cold. He released me and I felt alone once more, I watched as he got up from the floor and cracked his neck with a heavy groan, I slowly pulled myself up from the floor also while staring at him attentively. I wasn't sure what was wrong with him at the moment and I had to be careful that he wouldn't see me as a threat or be embarrassed, I doubted it but I wanted to make sure it was safe for me to be around him right now.
"Avery?" Barry asked, cocking his head at me in confusion, I quickly returned the look. "What ha-" He paused as it dawned on him and he stared at me with a bewildered look as I slowly shook my head. "Shit!"
# Chapter Two
It was completely silent after the altercation between Barry and Wayne, I should of expected something like this to happen eventually but I just wished it wasn't when I was so vulnerable. The two would of been able to tear each other apart and I would of had no choice but to watch while shivering from the sudden cold that assaulted my body. I hated Barry right now, I hated his guts for ruining my life and ruining my second chance at happiness. He could be happy but I couldn't, what a terrible double standard. I wanted to be happy also, I looked at Barry as he refused to face me while leaning against the counter in the kitchenette while I sat on the bed with the heavy blanket that Wayne wrapped around me still wrapped around my body to keep me warm. I had to go see Wayne, there was no other choice about it, I had to go see him and make sure he was okay after the altercation that happened. I could of missed Barry scratching him with a claw or something, I bit my lip nervously as I debated how to tell Barry that I was going to go see Wayne, or if I should tell him at all. Not telling him would spare the argument but also make his suspicious, and tell him would cause an argument and he'd probably force me to stay indoors with him while watching my every move. I could easily tell that Barry was losing the war, the war with his Alpha wolf taking over and before soon, Barry would have Alpha blood rushing through his veins and his eyes would be permanently red, he'd also have loads more Phenine in his system for attacking. I didn't want to be around him whenever he was like this, the silence killed me and it was awkward because of the situation that just happened, where was Abbigail to stir the pot when I needed her. I glanced around, knowing Abbigail should be here but she had managed to sneak out being Wayne for some reason. That made me very suspicious that she had left when Wayne did, was something going on between them too? What if I went to find Wayne and he was having sex with her, that would piss me off and I'd probably attack both of them with no regrets. Barry heavily sighed as he finally turned to face me, he walked over to the bed and sat down slowly, he moves were stiff and reluctant as he took his seat and buried his face in his hands. I wasn't sure what stressed him but I figured it was the Alpha abilities fighting to take over him. I frowned when Barry suddenly plopped down beside me and didn't move again, that wasn't normal even the slightest and I wearily reached over and gently touched his forehead to check his temperature, my frowned deepened at the heat of his feverish skin because he appeared fine until he went all Alpha on Wayne and now he was changing. I was actually scared for him right now, I touched his shoulder and gently shook him while waiting for him to do anything as a reply. Whether it was a little jerk of the hand or even him pushing me away, I was going to take that as a relief sign but the way he was burning up and so stiff made me worry even more.
"Barry." I whispered, gently cupping both sides of his head and inspecting his face closer.
I felt my heart drop in my chest as I continued to gently shake him awake, he wasn't responding and I was growing very scared that he wasn't going to wake up. My heart was now thumping heavily with the falling sensation gone, I shook him a little harder as I felt my breath hitch and my blinked away a couple of tears while I grabbed his shoulders and shook him harder, or tired to. I sniffed as my bottom lip quivered and I continued to fight the urge of crying, I was jumping to conclusions, he couldn't... he couldn't be dead!
"Barry!" I cried, climbing on the bed and sitting on his stomach.
I then laid my head on his naked chest as he laid in only a pair of boxers, his arms and legs were sprawled with the covers thrown off of him, he looked so peaceful and that only scared me more. I listed closely and focused, even held my breath, as I waited to hear sound within his chest. I felt a second or two pass before a weak thump made my heart sore itself, I couldn't fight the tear that slid down my check as I quickly got to my feet and hurried to the kitchen to grab something to help with the fever. I needed to wake Barry up, I had to wake him up. I turned the water on and grabbed a wash cloth that I used to clean the dishes, I swiped the tear with my forearm and realized that they were falling at their own will without me actually realizing it. I sniffed and wet the towel with cold water before hurrying back while folding it, I then saw the cold towel on Barry's hot forehead and gently pecked him on the lips.
"Where are my babies?" I asked myself softy, glancing around while thinking of the places Barry would take them, to Alpha's hut.
I glanced at Barry as he laid still, this was the perfect time to run and get help but it was also the perfect time to talk to Wayne about what happened, this wasn't right and the choices were simple, but they felt so hard for me. What do I do? Do I run and fix everything with Wayne first or do I go get help for Barry first? I sighed as I got to my feet and pulled on a large shirt and some jogging pants, I lowered my head in thought as I debated what to do, I bit my lip as I glanced at Barry then turned to walk out the hut. I allowed my heart to guide me to whatever destination it chose, I walked with my arms wrapped around my chest and my eyes still on the ground, watching my feet guide me with my heart giving directions. I stopped outside the Medical Hut and looked at the door as I slowly entered and closed it behind me, I spotted Stephanie putting something into a box before tapping it closed, she looked up at me in confusion as I nervously scratched the back of my neck.
"Something's wrong with Barry, he passed out and... I don't know what to do." I whispered, hoping I was talking loud enough for her to hear.
"He passed out?" Stephanie asked, coming from around her desk with worry on her face.
I slowly nodded, feeling tears rush to my eyes as I looked at her with fear, I was completely lost of words other than what I had said before, I watched as Stephanie rushed around me and toward Barry's hut. I quickly moved to follow her as I spotted Alpha talking to a couple of people, I guess I better let him know as well incase Barry is actually sick and will have to stay in the Medical Hut for sometime. I slowly veered myself in his direction as the group around him seized their talking and Alpha looked at me with a raised eyebrow, I bit my lip as I tried to think of the way to tell him that Barry had gotten very sick. I took a heavy breath and looked up at him with worry as he turned to face me while dismissing the others around him.
"Barry... he's very sick-"
"What happened?" Alpha asked immediately, taking a step toward me dangerously.
"He passed out, I went and got Stephanie a-"
"Where is he right now?" Alpha asked, pushing past me while walking toward his hut.
I watched him go, deciding not to follow as I watched him walk toward Barry's hut. Now was the time I faced Wayne, I didn't know what to say to him either other than sorry for what happened with Barry. I knew what I was walking into when I started talking another man, but Wayne didn't know and this was probably so overbearing for him, I just hope he would understand and we could leave this situation as friends if not as anything else. I wrapped my arms around my chest and slowly stalked to Wayne's hut, I knew that he was going to be there and while I was worried that he would reject me at the door, I knew that I wouldn't find out until I walked up to him and actually talked to him. I came to a stop at the door and stared at it for a second, actually debating the decision to turn back around and go check on Barry with Alpha and Stephanie present, but I had to do this. This could be seen as closure if not anything else, I sighed as I gained all the courage I have, I was going to do this and I was going to do it swiftly so I could go check on my real mate and see how he's doing. I glanced around the yard to see if anyone else was really present, as usual, the area was bustling with people talking and laughing with one another like there were no worries, and that's because they didn't have worries. I felt like Barry and I were the only couple with a problem, the only mates that couldn't actually be together because he cared about his stupid Alpha title to much. I wanted to throw up, I wanted to run away and hide under a rock but I didn't have time to do so because after this, I wanted to find my babies and cuddle them close before laying them down to rest. I felt like I hadn't seen them in ages and it made me feel like a terrible parent that I was slowly neglecting them to deal with the drama at home. I saw it as reasoning however, I wanted them to be safe at home and to know that their family loved them and was putting away the fears so they could grow and prosper without hatred in their heart. I reached up and gently knocked on Wayne's door, I bit my lip as I nervously took a step back and waited patiently for the door to open, I heard a couple of heavy feet hitting the wooden floor behind the door and took a heavy breath to calm my raging nerves. Finally, the door swung open and Wayne stood before me, he was taking up most of the doorway so I couldn't see inside and that almost made me a little suspicious to why he was doing that. I looked up at him with an apologetic look as his face softened at the sight of me, I nervously fidgeted with my fingers as I tried to think of what to say to him as he stared at me with confusion. I was also questioning myself to why I was here, I loved Wayne but was I
in
love
with him? I bit my lip before taking yet another heavy breath and looking up at him with courage, at least the small amount of courage I was hanging on to.
"W-Wayne..." I started, pausing to push a strand of hair out my face. "I'm sorry about what happened, with B-Barry and everything."
"No, Avery, it's not your fault. It's-"
"Wayne, who is it?" Came an all to fucking familiar voice.
I looked at Wayne in confusion as he moved aside to allow Abbigail to join him at the threshold, I looked between them both in shock as I tried to connect the dots and they were so easy to connect with them standing side by side. They're head shape was so similar it made me sick to the stomach, their eyes were both the same shape as well and I wanted to punch Wayne in the face the more I stared at him and noticed how similar their features were, they even had the same roman nose!
"Oh, so you do have a little thing for my baby brother, huh?" Abbigail said smugly, her hand on her hip.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Did any of you suspect that Abbigail and Wayne are brother and sister?
# Chapter Three
I opened my eyes slowly as I reached up and wiped them clear, I wasn't sure why I was waking up right now but the way everything came rushing back to me made me feel dizzy, Abbigail and Wayne are siblings. I frowned as I looked up to see I was laying beside a cot while sitting in a chair, did I fall asleep here? I sat up and stretched my back as I looked at Barry, he looked completely flushed as he laid with his chest slowly rising and falling, his lips were cracked and dry from the lack of moisture there and it seemed as if he had been laying there for a couple of days. I looked around us to see where exactly we were, the Medical Hut was mostly packed away with her belongings pushed the side so she could concentrate on making sure Barry was going to be okay. I turned back to look at Barry as he softly slept, his forehead was damp with a couple stands of hair sticking there, I reached up and gently brushed the waves of hair out of his face before leaning forward and lightly pecking his feverish cheek. I pulled away and lightly ran my finger the length of his jawline before pulling my hand away while the Medical Hut door opened suddenly. I turned to see who made their presence known, I couldn't stop the small smile that came to my face as Francis, Alexander, Alpha Barry, Alpha Darnell, Jacob, and even a couple of other people from the pack entered with small presence. I looked back at Barry as my eyes watered up at the sight of him, he looked so fragile and vulnerable but I was going to protect him, I hated seeing him like this. My love for Barry was one thing that was never going to fade away, I was going to love him for eternity and he knew it but I also knew he hated the idea of me being with someone else, loving someone else that would never love me back. What is love? I asked myself as I stared at Barry sleeping, I reached up again and pushed a couple of more strands out of his face as Stephanie came to his opposite side and laid a chilled towel on his forehead like I had done earlier.
"How are you feeling?" Stephanie asked, making me look up at her in confusion. "Wayne brought you here, he said you fainted."
I sighed and buried my face in my hands in embarrassment, I fainted in front of him and Barry passed out in front of me, what's going on with our bodies now? I looked at Barry and slowly nodded my head to let her know that I was okay, I wasn't worried about myself, I was worried about my real mate as he laid on the cot softly sleeping. I put my head on my hands while resting my elbows on the cot, I stared at his face longingly as the others gathered around the bed to set their presents nearby, I felt someone's hand gently touch my shoulder and looked up at Jacob as he looked at Barry with sadness flashing in his eyes. I looked at Barry as well as I saw him this way, as much as I said I hated him, I loved him. As much as I said I didn't need him, I wanted him. I wanted my man back, I wanted him to be my baby! I wanted my Barry to love me the way I loved him. A tear tickled down my cheek as I reached and grabbed his stiff hand, I pulled it to my mouth and gently pecked the back of him as Jacob's hand rubbed soothing circles on my back. I was going to be here for Barry like he was here for me when I was healing after giving birth to the triplets. The reminder made me smile as I stared down at my mate, he had visited me before his wedding to check on me, that had to mean something if not everything. He gave me the carnation flower the day of the ceremony. He refused to let Wayne take me away from him. He did all of those things because he loved me, even if he didn't want to admit it,
Barry loved me
. To know the pack had his back felt amazing, that meant I wasn't standing alone right now, I looked over at Francis as he gently rocked the triplets while they stared at the many people around them. Being two months old now, they were able to briefly hold their head up now and it was adorable watching them curiously look at people before lowering their heads back down. I smiled at him as I reached toward them, Fran immediately moved closer with Alexander following his every step. I took Sundai first and sat her on the pillow beside Barry as she tried to turn and look at the person she was laying beside, Fran sat Quincy on the other side of Barry's head and Admire on his chest lastly. I grabbed Barry's hand while hoping that he'd understand that the triplets and I were here for him, I gently caressed the back of his hand with my thumb as silence filled the room while everyone watched. Alpha Barry had taken a seat in a nearby chair and was staring at his son while Alpha Darnell stood behind the chair with his hands gently massaging Alpha Barry's sunken shoulders. I felt Barry's hand twitch as he shifted a little and finally his eyes slowly pulled open, he stared at the ceiling for a brief second before slowly leaning his head down to see Admire curled up asleep on his chest. I noticed the faint smile on his face as he looked to his right to find Quincy wide awake and cooing at the ceiling. I watched as Barry lastly turned to Sundai as she stared at him while gently cooing as well, I reached up and grabbed the warm towel from Barry's forehead and moved closer so he could look at me.
"Avery..." He croaked, his voice rough and harsh.
"I'm here, Barry. The pack came to see you." I whispered, reaching up and gently pushed a couple of stands out of his face again. "Alpha's here, Fran and Alexander, Jacob, everyone."
"Abbigail?" He asked also, my heart sunk as I slowly pulled myself back into my chair as Fran released a disgusted snort that made me glance at him and quickly shake my head.
Alexander put his hand on Francis in a warning way and I was thankful for that, I knew Fran was only trying to be by my side, considering I was the one by Barry's and making sure he's okay, and while it did hurt that Barry was more worried about Abbigail than me, I didn't allow him to see how that hurt me. I slowly shook my head to answer Barry, watching as he softly closed his eyes and sighed gently, I bit my lip nervously as I wondered if that was going to cause him to withdrawal back into his slumber. I reached forward to pull Admire off his chest when Barry immediately stopped me by lifting his hand gently to my chest, my heart thumped heavily in my chest as immediately halted what I was doing and stared at Barry in shock as he left his hand lingering near my swollen left nipple. I stayed put, waiting for Barry to move his hand as he stared at me with his soft red eyes staring at me. I watched them flicker with need as his hand slowly traveled closer to my swollen boob with my peeking nipple, I glanced around as everyone obliviously oohed and awed over the triplets near their father but it was too risky. I reached up and cupped his hand in mine before gently pulling his hand away from my boob, I found it hard to do so as Barry's strength easily suppressed mine and I couldn't get his hand away from my boob. I looked at him in confusion as his red eyes darkened lustfully and it actually scared me because I really didn't want him to feel me up in front of the whole pack, even if it was something I really wanted.
"They're so cute." Jacob said, smiling down at Quincy, who continued to make cute cooing sounds toward the ceiling.
"That's so adorable." Someone spoke from within the small crowd.
"Hey, big girl, you're growing so much!" Stephanie cooed toward Sundai, who smiled and wiggled her toes, causing a couple of others to laugh.
I tried to shield Barry's attempt as his fingers gently brushed my nipple, I leaned into the bed as he flicked his finger over my nipple and hungrily growled toward me as I pulled away swiftly and crossed my arms over my chest. The growl caught everyone's attention as Admire started to mewl from the vibration in Barry's chest waking him, we all stared at Barry unsurely as Alpha Barry got to his feet and moved closer to Barry, who immediately tensed up protectively. Alpha Barry immediately pulled up short and I gulped nervously in the fear that Barry would attack his own father, however, I knew it was an Alpha instinct to see other Alphas as a threatening cause, definitely if this was Barry's territory. Tension filled the air as Alpha Barry kept his distance, he put his hands behind his back in a way of saying he wasn't a threat to any of the ones Barry cared about in this room, I heavily chewed on my lip as Francis took a nervous step back from the bed and into Alexander's arms.
"Barry, it's me, your father." Alpha Barry said, making us all shift uncomfortably.
Barry didn't seize his posture, he kept his muscles taut and stiff while preparing to attack Alpha Barry, I was hoping Alpha would be able to calm his son or that Alpha Darnell would step in to calm things before they escalated. I reached up and grabbed Barry's balled fist, his fist immediately released from it's clench and grabbed onto my hand, he tightened his hand around mine and stared at Alpha Barry unsurely. I glanced behind me as Jacob continued to hold my shoulder, I could feel his hand shaking fearfully as I bit my lip and glanced Alpha Barry to let him know I was going to probably need his help to get out of this one. It then dawned one me that Barry thought he was protecting the triplets
and me
from the Alpha before him in this hut. Barry's wolf had found it's rightful resting place within Barry's conscious and was slowly making itself one with Barry's soul, Barry would be a completely Alpha in less than a week and would have to move to his own territory and make his own pack one day, not unless Alpha Barry allowed him permission to stay. I used my other hand and gently caressed Barry's tight grip on my small hand, his crushing grip was slowly growing painful but I ignored the pain and gently pecked the back of his hand before reaching and gently rubbing Barry's arm to calm him down.
"He's not going to hurt us." I whispered, hoping Barry and his wolf would listen to me and trust me on this.
I knew that if Barry trusted me, he would had allowed his wolf to take control of his motor skills like this, he wouldn't have allowed his wolf to take such a defensive mechanism to protect me and the triplets. It shocked me that even Barry saw his own father as a threat, I decided that now wasn't a time to think of such a thing and went back to trying to coax Barry to calm down, I gently massaged his shoulder and arm as he slowly relaxed but kept his eyes sharply turned to Alpha Barry.
"What?" Barry hissed, staring at Alpha Barry questionably, his red eyes glimmering with hate.
"Its Abbigail..." I cut my eyes to Alpha in anger that he would bring her up while Barry and I was starting to connect once more. "She's
gone
."
I looked at Alpha in confusion as he took a step back as everyone started to question one another about what was happening, what did Alpha mean that Abbigail was gone, did she leave? What about their baby! I looked at Barry as he slowly allowed what Alpha said to dawn on him and from the looks of it, he was taking it better than anyone else in the room. My heart quickened in fear that Barry was going to go after her and bring her back home, that he was going to fall for her antics all over again and forget all about me and how much I loved him... again.
"We've searched everywhere for her, we can't find her." Alpha Darnell reasoned, causing a little more of an uproar.
"I'm not even surprised." Fran said, shaking his head in dismay while turning to look at Barry with a raised eyebrow. "Well, Barry, what are you going to do? Be with your old family or go after a whore that doesn't love you."
"Fran-" Alexander said, trying to grab his arm.
"Shut up, Alexander, he needs to know the truth!" Francis said, yanking his arm away before crossing them over his chest. "I'm tired of sitting back and letting her use him like this, you all should be ashamed of yourself! You know that she just wants to be the leader of a pack, for God only knows what reason but this needs to end
now
. This is up to you Barry but I want you and your wolf to know that if you walk out that door and go chase her down, you're losing Avery to a new man for good."
I looked at Fran in shock as he turned and stomped out, he had gave Barry choices before I could and I was happy he did because I didn't have to give Barry the ultimatum that could possibly break my heart into little pieces. I loved Barry and I wanted him to be mine but if he went after Abbigail, I would move on and I wouldn't look back, the ball was in his court now and it was his choice to shoot for me and the triplets or shoot for Abbigail and their unborn child that might not even be his. I stayed silent, my eyes drawn to the Sundai as she softly slept on the pillow beside Barry's head, I couldn't look at Barry because I was scared to, I didn't want to lose him again but I had no choice. I was only hoping his wolf would make him understand what he had here, I didn't want another man kissing and hugging on me, I didn't want another man tucking Barry's children into bed at night, and I didn't want another man kissing me in front of the pack to seal the end of our lives together. I wanted Barry to do those things, but if Barry didn't chose me, he was going to have to watch those things happen whether both of us wanted them to or not.
Abbigail's no where to be found, Barry's Alpha wolf is merging with his soul, Barry's wolf wants to reconnect the bridge with Avery, and Avery just wants the love of his life and his father of his children back. Oh... so much is happening in just the first three chapters!
# Chapter Four
I stared at Barry as he stared at the ceiling, he was questioning his decisions and it worried me that he was going to leave, I bit my lip as I leaned back into the chair before deciding to make my exit, as had everyone else earlier. I got to my feet and stretched before yawning softly, I had been here the entire day and night was slowly falling, I need to get the triplets into their cribs and get some sleep also. I grabbed Admire off Barry's lap as he remained still and deep in thought, I was scared of his choice, terrified that he was going to go get her and force me to move onto someone else. I wonder if Wayne had left also, I was hoping not because he was one person that I wouldn't mind being around and one day marrying, not unless he ends up being someone evil. I didn't know if I should even respond to Barry, I didn't want to hear his choice because that would of only made it worse than it already was. What was the use? I asked myself, Barry had picked who he wanted long ago before I was in the picture and now I needed to find the right guy for myself, but was Wayne the one? I grabbed Quincy and Sundai and pulled the triplets close into me before turning to leave, I kept my head held high as I passed Stephanie while she entered with a box in her hand. I knew she wasn't too happy with me, and I understood why because Barry needed me... and I had already moved on,
remember
. I glanced around as I stepped down from the hut's porch and spotted Wayne talking to other pack members before he glanced my way and dismissed himself from the group. I smiled kindly as I waited for him to meet up with me, I had given Barry days to make his choice while he laid there, yes,
two months
have passed already. I smiled up at Wayne as he gently pecked my forehead before grabbing Quincy from my arms, which I was very happy about. Not many were happy that I was dating Wayne, I understood why because it was like Barry went mute when he found out he was alone now. It was one thing I feared, I wasn't sure if he would ever be the same again and when I got the courage to see him, I was always scared he'd bring up Wayne and I's situation, his anguish that there would now be two more babies in the picture.
"How's he doing?" Wayne asked gently, making me shrug because even I didn't know.
"I want to say he's getting better, but then I'd be lying." I whispered, Wayne nodded slowly before turning to walk to his hut. "Have you heard from your sister?" Just thinking about her gives me a sour taste in the mouth.
"Nah... I'm not to worried about her, our father raised us to be strong and independent." Wayne shrugged.
"You're not but I am, Barry needs his children near him, and that includes the one she's having by him." I said, hoping Wayne would realize what was going on and how much pain Barry was going through.
"I thought it wasn't your problem anymore." Wayne retorted, glancing at me skeptically before turning to shake his head in disbelief.
"Wayne..." I said, giving him a pleading look before stopping and turning to him.
He was reluctant to turn to me as I gave him a pleading look that told him to just bear with me, I was still getting used to not being all over Barry and I loved the attention Wayne gave me but to narrow it down, Barry was my mate and he wasn't. I was always going to love Barry more than I loved Wayne, but I was going to try my hardest to always side with Wayne over Barry, and it was going to be hard. I leaned forward and perked my lips out for a kiss, Wayne smirked and gave me a teasing kiss on the lips that made me grow a little flustered inside, it's been so long and he knew how much his little butterflies got me horny. I nibbled on my bottom lip as I started to lead Wayne toward his own hut, he knew where he was going but I was in a rush. I heard his deep chuckle as he gently rocked Quincy while the baby stared around at the many faces he passed, I glanced back at Wayne with a tiny smile and wink before walking up to the door and waiting for Wayne to open it because he had a free hand. I waited with a smile on my face as Wayne opened the door but stood in the way so I couldn't pass by him, I looked at him questionably as he smiled down at me with something glittering in his eyes.
"You're so beautiful." Wayne said truthfully, staring at me as I stared back at him.
And it was those times that I enjoyed being around him, he was always so kind and soft spoken with me that I catered to him unexpectedly, I always wanted his gentle touch and his soft kisses whenever I cuddled up to him in his bed. I didn't have my own home as I had expected after moving on from Barry, Alpha refused to give me my own and told me to stay in Barry's hut for the mean time. I hated to say it but I felt like Alpha didn't like the idea of me not being with Barry, it was as if I was a bad person, even after people told me to move on time and time again when I never wanted to give up on Barry because I loved him.
"And you're so handsome, now move, I'm thirsty." I said, smiling up at him as he stepped aside and put his unoccupied hand up in a surrendering motion before chuckling.
I stepped inside and halted as I stared at the person before me, I felt Wayne's presence behind me as he closed the door shut and halted immediately, I turned to look at him in confusion as he stared at Abbigail. Of course this was where he'd go, a week after her missing, she was given a rogue title and Alpha still had search teams out for her and the reason she's still missing is because she's been hiding under our noses all along. She looked in pretty well shape and it was as if she was about to burst, I stepped sideways so Wayne could pass me as he gave Quincy back to me and balled his fist up angrily.
"Are you dumb?" He asked, glaring at her. "You've put my life in danger running off like that, Alpha threatened to kick me out the pack!"
Wait, what? Alpha was going to expel Wayne because his sister had ran off to the unknown, I looked at Wayne in shock that he tell me about this, I should of known something like this if we weren't keeping secrets. I turned back to Abbigail as I waited to see what she would say back as I response, I was hoping she wouldn't make a smart remark because I really didn't want Wayne to tear the hut apart. I closed my eyes and took a calming breath as Abbigail only shrugged and walked to the bed to forcefully plop down with a heavy groan, she seemed well taken care of as she wore a small dress that threatened to show her treasures. I looked back at Wayne as he turned his back to us and took heavy, deep breaths to calm himself the way I've seen him do it many times. It hurt me that Abbigail stressed him out to no end and I knew it was mainly because he was scared of losing her for good, I would be scared as well. I stayed silent while Abbigail patiently waited for her brother to freak out, I was also waiting but it seemed like Wayne was getting better at controlling his anger and that was always a good thing. I was scared to be close to Wayne when he got like this, his rage was endless and it seemed to take him ours to calm down after he blew a gasket. Wayne turned back to Abbigail patiently as he waited for her to reply, and wasn't that a very stupid mistake because all he got in return was a raised eyebrow and blew up.
"How many times...
crash
do I have to tell you...
crash
I'm sick of your bullshit! Huh, Abbigail!? You do the dumbest...
crash
shit! All the time, you're...
crash
selfish!" I was used to this by now.
I watched as Wayne saw everything as an object, the pretty vase I had bought him as a little gift laid shattered in pieces, a couple of pillows had been thrown into figurines that sat respectfully on a shelf. I continued to watch as he walked back and forth and threw whatever he could lift, a stool went flying into the shelf seconds later and both collapsed with a bang to the floor as I watched on. He was violent but that was just Wayne, he had a short temper but that was jus this personality and I loved him for his personality, the good side of it at the last. When he wasn't cranky and hotheaded, he was kind and a cuddling pillow but even them his anger got the best of him when he's sitting beside me and ask a question that focuses on my love for Barry. Then boom, he's a totally different man with a totally different ballgame, he no longer wants to joke around and cuddle but rip the hut apart and threaten to leave me. I hated when it got to that state, I hated when he would threaten to leave me behind with nothing because he knew Barry didn't want me, he knew no one else wanted me but him and even I knew that, I was unwanted here and while I could move away and find another man that would want a fertile lover, I didn't want to do that. I didn't want to leave the freedom I had here behind, I wanted to settle down one day but I don't think that day is anywhere in the future at this rate, I just wanted to be happy and for my lover to be happy as well... and I don't know if Wayne is happy.
"Get out!" He growled angrily, making Abbigail sigh before getting to her feet slowly, I wasn't sure if he was talking to me as well. "Now, you selfish bitches!" Ah, so he
is
talking to me.
I turned and walked out behind Abbigail, I managed to grab the handle and close to the door behind me just as something heavy crashed into it, and I'm guessing it's another stool that became victim to his rage. His feuds rarely ever got dangerous to where others had to be called in to restrain him, he'd usually calm down and apologize for his behavior and I knew fifteen minutes from now that he'd be quickly rushing outside to apologize to me while kneeling before me, because that's how it always is. I gently rocked the triplets as the sun nestled against the horizon in a beautiful fashion, at least I get to see the beautiful sunset before I head in for the night. I watched as Abbigail disappeared undetected skillfully, how she did it amazed me because I hadn't even realize she left until I actually searched the crowd for her, I wonder if she has anger issues as well. I softly rocked the triplets back and forth while gently humming and watching the beautiful sunset, I stood on the porch and stared out into the soft atmosphere that beamed with werewolf life.
"Avery," I turned and looked up at Wayne patiently, here it goes, "I'm sorry..." He whispered sheepishly, very embarrassed and I couldn't help the smile on my face.
"It's okay, let's get some rest." I said, hoping the mess wasn't too big.
"Ha... about that." I entered the hut and started at the bed as it was leant from the broken bedframe,
ah... just great
.
Somehow, I found that a little funny as I lightly smiled at that and Wayne scratched the back of his head while averting his eyes, he's so cute.
This chapter is very late, I know... don't scold me!
# Chapter Five
"Wayne..." I whispered softly, nuzzling his neck as he laid nude beside me. "Wayne, baby, wake up."
"What's wrong?" He asked with a groggily, concerned voice.
"I can't sleep." I whispered back, quiet not to wake the triplets as Wayne laid next to me with his arm thrown over my waist.
I was surprisingly comfortable and while I didn't want to compare Wayne to Barry, Barry was always so much more warmer and bigger so he engulfed me completely when he held me close to him. I snuggled into Wayne's side a little more, completely nude as well as I gently ran my hand up and down his chest, I wanted to be excited that I had a man but truth be told, I loved the single life more. Wayne's and I relationship was unhealthy and even knowing that, I still wanted to be around him as a friend but I felt terrible every time I thought about breaking up with him. I felt my stomach flutter as I closed my eyes and cursed myself for letting Wayne cum inside of me, that was dumb but I was so caught in the moment that I didn't think twice, it had been forever since someone held me, kissed me, and told me they loved me. I smiled up at Wayne while remembering his instructions, he told me to just relax and let whatever happen... happen and that was what I was going to do with this relationship: relax and let everything fall into place. I closed my eyes as I attempted to dose off but it was useless, Wayne was once more snoring in my ear as he slept heavily from his workout, I'm not an easy person to please and I guess he's found that out now. I kept my eyes closed as I gently pecked his chin before burying my face into his arm as he rolled to lay half of his body on top of mine, and that was way it was always so hard to get up the next morning because he always refused to move and let me go release my bladder. I stared at the ceiling, debating if I was ready for a relationship because this was so surreal that I didn't want to believe I was dating another man, I didn't want to believe that I gave up on Barry, I didn't want to believe that I betrayed Barry. Even if he betrayed me first, I still felt terrible that I was scared to give up on him and let go what could be, what if he decided to stay and be with me instead of going after her? Would that mean I would have to break up with Wayne to be with Barry or would I have to reject Barry's wishes, definitely with him being future Alpha and his wolf merging. While his wolf merging would be a good thing, it was going to have him hospitalized for a while, it'll be weeks before he's able to stand up with out toppling over or even take a step, he's pretty much useless and he knew it. I continued to stare at the ceiling wide awake, I was happy the triplets were asleep because they would have Wayne grumpy otherwise, and he's not fun when he's grumpy. Closing my eyes, I tried to fall asleep once more but it was a useless cause because I wasn't tired, I was restless but not tired and that's a pain in the ass. I was thankful when Wayne rolled off of me, giving me the ability to move as I sat up and moved to the end of the bed while still completely naked, I got up and cautiously walked to my clothes. I slipped my shirt over my head and glanced behind me as I heard Wayne shift on the bed, I then bit my lip as I slowly pulled my pants up and felt a little pain in the rectal area, it was normal after Wayne's rough sex. Dressed, I quietly walked out of the hut and plopped down on the porch, the cold crisp air chilled my bones immediately and made me feel a little better as I stared at the trees encasing the werewolf village I called home now. I could return home, I could leave all of this behind me but what was the point of that when I traveled this far to find it, I traveled through many trees and over many rivers to find Barry so he could be in the triplets lives but what's the point now? Maybe Wayne would understand, maybe Wayne would want to come with me and we can start our life elsewhere... Abbigail had did the same thing, couldn't we? That was nonsense, I was asking Wayne to go rogue with me just when the pack was starting to accept him as a member, he was growing closer with the others everyday and while Alexander and Francis were a little skeptic about him, they accepted him and that made me very happy. I loved Wayne... but was I
in love
with him? I sighed as I bit on my lip nervously, how could I explain to Wayne that I wasn't in love with him but I did love him, that would be too confusing and he'd probably punch me in the throat. Not that he's ever done it before but there's still more space and opportunity the more days we spend together, his attitude was growing worse and my patience was growing thin. It humiliates me when Wayne can't control his anger and does something stupid like cussing out a higher rank or destroy someone else's property. I sighed loudly and watched as my breath came out like a tiny cloud and wavered in the air, the peace was welcoming and while I was hoping for a longer break, I knew Wayne woke up in the middle of the night and will grow anxious if I'm not by his side. I got to my feet and took in the night sky one last time, the stars twinkled as the wind twisted through the village trees, I smiled lightly before turning and walking back into Wayne's and I home, shutting the door behind me. I carefully climbed in bed as Wayne rolled to face me and threw his arm over my side while snuggling his face into my hair, it made me smile as I closed my eyes and found it easy to dose off for once.
~~~~~~~~~~Unknown~~~~~~~~~~
I looked down with a big snarl on my face, the little creature that turned my future pack upside down disgusted me to the core because his appearance knocked my plans back a couple of steps, however, the ass-wipe named Barry was so vulnerable at this state and with him so useless, I had more than enough power to take what would rightfully be mine in a week or so. I smirked as I put my hand against the rock and hummed softly, I was more than happy to take the throne once more and having the creatures of my womb pleading and whimpering for my forgiveness before I slit their throats or explode their heads. Awoken from the terrors that hunted me for years, thanks to that asshole that didn't understand that I didn't need his stupid ass, I was going to be whole again and strong enough to fight the Alpha that wrongfully took my place and kill off his line of Alphas before they came to great. After conquering the
Alentine Bloodline
, the strongest wolves in the nation, everyone else will bow down to me and seek to be spared their lives after I cause havoc in the werewolf world. I'll be showered in gold and wealth like before, everything will be mine like it was only fifty decades ago and I'll be on top of the world, everyone will fear me and the wrath I intend to release on them. And the stupid puny humans will have no idea what's happening right under their noses, they'll go on happy and walking the streets as they start to slowly come up missing and then I'll cause a great war that wipe human and vampire existence, and my great kingdom of werewolves will remain... oh, and when he's old enough,
Quincy Alentine
will be my new bitch. I crossed my arms over my wide chest and smiled at the thought of imprinting my name on him, beating him until he wished he was dead, mating with him every night... oh, glee it will be. My plans were falling right into place, everything would be just right and nothing will be able to stop me, not those stupid Alphas that are teaming together, not the new Alpha coming into rule, and definitely not the puny triplets that my destiny said will be against me. My own mate...
against me
? It was a chuckle I couldn't hold back, I'd snap him in two before I even allowed him close enough for a kiss, I smirked and felt my fang prick my lip as I hungrily looked at the prey below, wondering which one to ravish tonight.
"No longer sulking around like the ugly fuckface you are?" I turned and curled my lip at the person that interrupted my thought process.
"As if you're the one to talk, you're just as bad as I am." I replied, turning back to stare at the small pond filled with Koi Fish. "Not in love with someone you're married to... or are you?" I smirked.
"Jealous much?" The person replied, making me roll my eyes as I kept my back turned to them. "Just as I suspected, I always liked you, I won't lie about that."
"And exactly what is there to like about me?" I asked, feeling anger grow inside me as I whirled around to face the person.
The person turned their nose up at me and gave me a solemn stare, making me grow a little uncomfortable at their passion... or infortune. I wasn't the only one sulking around, it appeared, but to see such a strong man collapsing, maybe it was for the best. He stood so proudly in front of everyone else but in front of me, he was only putting a front because he knew I could easily overthrow him if I wanted to... and I'm reaching that point.
"I advise you not to raise your voice at an Alpha, child." Darnell snorted, I curled my lip.
"I'm centuries old," I replied, snorting back, "I'm only here because of a pledge I made to an ancestor, not you,
child
."
Darnell went to reply as his lip curling before he chuckled and nodded slowly, he was just as pathetic as that little "love" he had diagonally across the plain,
pathetic
. I felt more bile rise in my throat as I curled my own lip, which was becoming a habit, I came to notice. The two were meant to be, as they were built together, and as all goes, they will
fall
together. I will rise and become king of both territories, as in my destiny that was written in the pledge my father promised, and I get what I'm promised.
Always
. No one stands in my way, no wimpy Alpha, no pathetic future Alphas, and no
stupid, pathetic, disgusting
love
interest. I won't be whipped to do the most cunning things that won't fall in my own favor, I'll raise a family in time with the right one and when that times come, then I'll think about it. For now, I had to think of my own future with the power to rule all in favor and those who won't agree to my ruling, may their heads be sat on a pike. For the lord was on my side, and even without him, I would rule all in favor.
"They're crumbling." I cut my eyes to Darnell in aggravation, he seems to never get the hint.
I reached forward and dipped my hand into the Koi Fish pond and watched as they started to decompose down to the skeleton, I stared longingly before pulling my hand out and watching as the bones swirled at the bottom of the small pond. I couldn't fight the smirk coming to my face as I balled my fist with the water still dripping, I had it all now, I was unstoppable and they would see that.
"You're crumbling." I whispered, feeling the pull of his heart, he was longing for love. "You must remain solid, beat him until he
bleeds
."
"I don't..." Darnell started but I placed my hand up to silence him immediately.
"You don't have a choice..." Was my reply as I cracked my neck before smirking once me and turning to him. "You'll
never
have a choice."
A silence feel over us as I turned and stared at the people below, this mountain was my home and I wasn't ready to give it up just yet, but I longed to know what those people saw in that stupid village of huts and stupidity. I could feel a power dispersing below, and I yearned but ever time I took a step forward, the light bounded me back inside. I was destroyed for now but when I got my solid, complete form back, I'll be ready to face this village and they won't see me coming. Not unless...
"No one knows I'm here, correct?" I asked, waiting for a reply. "Darnell?"
"No." Was his sharp, stern reply, making me actually smile because I know he was glaring at me now. "No one would care either."
"You say so but I think, that pretty little Alpha woul-" I started, staring down at the silent village as the dark sky beckoned them to sleep.
"You won't touch him." Darnell said protectively.
"If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be able to see him." I said, turning back to face him as I felt the inside of my cheek ache once more.
I bit down on it, hearing a loud hiss as cracking filled the air, I licked my lips with a satisfied sigh at the thought of the insect that just invaded personal space. But now it laid in pieces in my boiling stomach packed with steaming magma, something had to keep me a powerful and strong spiritual form.
"You're disgusting." I cut my eyes to Darnell to see him staring at me with disgust. "What happened to you, such a low life eating hissing cockroaches."
"You, idiotic brat. You and you're stupid kind... you're working for me now so I advise you shut your mouth and do what I said. Now." I growled, baring my sharp fangs while balling my fist at my side.
"
Sick fuck
." I heard Darnell muttered as he started his way back to the entrance of the cave.
Indeed I was a sick fuck but soon, just like everyone else, he would be bowing down to me and begging for me to spare his pathetic life. I smiled as I went back to staring at the village that would one day be mine, that day was in the near future but yet so far from my grasp the more things came up to haunt me again. I knew that little omega ancestors right when I saw his face, I reached up and touched the dark blood seeping from my nose as I turned to the left to find that I wasn't alone. I stared at the bloodied figure as it looked at me before hissing and vanishing, I needed to take the throne and soon before these hauntings become too serious. I looked forward again as I spotted a little body rushing from the trees, a cute child... it would be a shame if
something
happened to it because there's
ALWAYS
trouble lurking in the dark. I smiled as my leather wings perked up and flared a little, something that simple would of knocked me off my feet yes ago but now everything was different, everything was about to change.
The next chapter will be exciting...
# Chapter Six
I sat up as I heard a loud scream that echoed through the forest, I frowned and looked over at Wayne as he sat up and looked around in confusion as well, the screaming and sobs didn't stop as I got to my feet and quickly rushed to the door to see what was going on. I stepped from the porch and looked at the crowd that was encasing something, I moved closer as fought through the crowd with one purpose and that was to see what was going on. I halted as my stomach turned and I felt bile rise in my mouth, I stared with my eyes widened at the sight of the bloodied child as it laid with it's hand limply grasping a doll that had blood smudge all over it's face. The child was no older than five years old, her face was unrecognizable but it was her bright blue shoes that let us know it was little April, the sweetest child in the pack that always made you smile with her two front teeth missing and bubbly personality. I dropped my hand to my stomach as I stepped back and allowed another person to block the view, this was crazy and who the hell would kill little April... who the hell would kill a
child
!? I gulped as whispers and voices of anger filled the air, I felt terrible as the loud sobs and screaming from little April's mother made my ears ring, who's responsible for something like this? I looked to Francis as he tried to coax little April's mother away from the body with a gruesome expression on his face, I couldn't believe something like this could happen. Little April's body was laying in the middle of the village for all to see and they were wanting to move it to a more secluded area like the Medical Hut so that the rest of the pack wouldn't have to see something so terrible.
"Do you not like my gift?" We all turned to see someone standing before us, I stepped away from him as I felt heavy energy radiating off of him, he's not human nor only werewolf.
The... thing was at least seven feet tall if not taller, it was rather skinny from hunger as he stood in a tan tattered cloak and a metal pendant around it's neck, what shocked most of us wasn't it's high but it's exposed left rib cage and calf bones. The rest of it was covered with white, pale flesh and many tribal appearing tattoos, I stepped away in horror as it turned one eye on me, it's face was mostly well arranged with only one of it's eyes missing, it must of saw me step back. I stared at it in complete shock, what was this thing and what did it want from us, from me? I watched it closely, watching as it eyed the crowd before it's head turned to the Medical Hut, I watched as a large smirk came over it's lips as it turned to face us once more then completely vanished. I was confused on where it would go, the only person in the medical hut right now was... Barry. I quickly scrambled in that direction, barely avoiding a gigantic black wolf as it pounced down before me out of no where, I stared at it fearfully while slowly backing away as it then huffed at me then started running toward the hut. I watched Alpha tilt his had back and howl loudly before disappearing inside, seconds later, a big dark brown wolf darted past me with a darkened gray wolf on it's tail, the wolves were obviously dominates of the pack as they stood tall and ready to wreck havoc. They also disappeared into the Medical Hut, I looked behind me to see people screaming and crying but it seemed to fall on my suddenly deaf ears as blood seeped heavily from them. I reached up and touched the red, warm liquid as I looked up in time to catch someone's head explode off their shoulders completely, the person fell limp as I stared on in shock as people continued to scream at the top of their lungs. I turned to walk but stumbled as my ears rung from within, what happened to my hearing? Why can't I hear all the screaming? I felt pressure inside my head and reached up to grab it while realizing that it was now my turn for my head to explode, the pain intensified as I cupped my hands over my bloody ears, smearing the blood as I collapsed to my knees in pain. The ringing continued and the pressure only grew as I looked around with realization, this was the end, this was going to be the end. Were my triplets safe? Was Barry safe? Was I safe? I sobbed as I thought of my babies, they were in harms way now and there was nothing I could do, I sobbed again but it was completely blocked out by the heavy ringing in my ear, and the ringing seemed like it wasn't going to let up. Pack members continued to change into their werewolf forms, disappearing into the Medical Hut with their protective instincts taking over, I slowly rose to my feet as I surged for the power to change into my werewolf form. I hadn't took my wolf form in months and it scared me that I wouldn't remember how, I searched deep as I squeezed my eyes closed and tried to block out the loud ringing in my ears. I felt a stir within my chest, agony rose as my head throbbed and my heart clenched, blood bubbled from my mouth as I opened my eyes in complete shock. I looked down to see that I was no longer on my knees, I wasn't on the ground at all as someone stood before me and held me up with only their hand shoved into my chest, blood continued to seep from my mouth as I stared down at the person trying to rip my heart out in shock. Wayne curled his lip as I stared at the tribal appearing tattoos fading in on his skin, it wasn't possible... I would of noticed whenever he was near me... it's not possible. I continued to tell myself that but it was completely possible that Wayne was using me, no matter how much he claimed to love me and need me, he was using me all along. I looked at him, shocked that he was standing before me as he stared back at me with a face of pity, I should of saw something like this coming. I should of saw all of this coming, but I was too naïve and stupid to think that someone would grow this power hungry, who could be this power hungry? The ringing continued as more power surged within me, maybe it was the hurt I was feeling, maybe it was the betrayal that sent agony to my forcefully clenched heart, Wayne's fist held tightly to my heart and it made it harder for it to beat. I wanted to scream, I wanted to cry, I wanted to whoop Wayne's ass but only if my heart wasn't at stake, only if my life and my babies
future
weren't at stake. Wayne finally released my heart and I slipped off his bloodied hand, he stared down at me with the same pity look as he wiped his hand on his already bloodied shirt...
no, he didn't!
"You're so stupid, how couldn't you have noticed earlier?" He honestly asked me, as I could only stare at him.
"W..." Was all I could managed as I coughed and blood poured from the wound in my chest.
My sternum bone was completely crushed, my heart felt like it was still trying to beat but was too far damaged, my vision blurred as I rolled onto my back and started to choke on the blood seeping up my throat. Everything was a blur as I dropped my hand into the bloody ground as I was sure people continued to scream and yell but Wayne's voice was the only thing I could hear. I stared at him without any energy to move, he leaned down and gently brushed my hair out of my face as I stared up at him knowingly, he wasn't finished with me yet. I willed my arm to move and punch the shit out of him, one hit was all I wanted but it was useless as the back of my hand was completely soaked in the mixtures of people blood as the ringing in my ear continued, how did he manage to talk to me over the ringing, how did I manage to hear him but not the screams? I closed my eyes and prayed to the man above to hear me out, I wanted to see my days end but not this way, I wanted to grow old with Barry and watch my children marry themselves to someone they actually loved.
Wayne betrayed me...
Wayne betrayed me...
Wayne betrayed me...
Wayne betrayed me...
"
I betrayed you
." He whispered, sinking his finger's into my locks and lifting me to his face as I stared at him.
I opened my mouth but only more blood seeped out as I tried to speak, I wanted to ask the simplest question known to mankind and I wanted to know the truth and nothing but the truth. What was he going to gain from this anyway, just kill me off and end my suffering, it was obvious that my babies were better off with me... if they were still alive. The thought brought tears to my eyes, they caressed down my cheeks and mixed with the specks of blood that came from me hitting the ground earlier, I gagged and heaved as the blood continued to coat the inside of my lungs in many layers that caused me to gag and heave for air. I looked up at Wayne as he smiled cheekily at me, it was always that stupid smile that made me think everything would eventually work out, it was always his stupid grin that made me think I could get over Barry's betrayal and rejection, it was always that stupid ass smile.
"W... Why?" I managed, feeling Wayne's grip tighten on my hair.
He released a very deep chuckle, making the ringing in my ears intensify as well as the pressure I felt in my head, his laugh was sickening as his voice was octaves deeper than normal, his crystal blue eyes glistened like the water, not their normal brown that I loved to see glisten in the sun. I was beyond betrayed for the second time, or was it the third now? First my family, then Barry, and now Wayne, was there a thing called Love? Real Love? I coughed, blood rolling out of my mouth heavily now as Wayne released a heavier, deep chuckle then loosened his grip on my hair before letting me go, I feel back and curled my lip in agony as I balled my fist but that was all I could do.
"Why not? A good leader once asked." I have a feeling that he's a worshiper of that demon-thing.
"A... a lot... of lead... leaders ask... ask tha... ask that." I stammered terribly, watching as Wayne noticeably rolled his eyes before casually lifting his hand to the left and stopping Francis in his tracks.
I looked at Francis in horror as he tried to wiggle from Wayne's unhumanly force's grip, Wayne was like that thing and I didn't know it all along. I was scared that Fran would serious get hurt and the thought of him not being around brought another set of tears to my eyes, I didn't want anyone to get hurt and I didn't want anyone to suffer because of my mistake, I should of noticed long ago. Wayne smiled as he dropped his hand but Fran was still being held in the vise grip, I immediately saw Fran's intention as he was holding a silver blade, it wasn't good as a pure silver bullet but I'll take that over nothing. Wayne then tsked and the silver blade flew out of Francis hand before flipping around to face my best friend's face, Fran's eyes widened as mine did as well while I found strength to sit up, I snagged onto Wayne's leg as he howled then look down at me with his crystal blue eyes electrically pulsing.
"D... Don't yo... you t... touch... my... my f... friend." I breathed heavily as I fell back again and closed my eyes with a heavy gulp, I wasn't going down without a bang, that's for sure.
You guys love Wayne now?
# Chapter Seven
I rolled over, the heavy ringing still apply pressure to my head but I wasn't going to let Fran die so easily, he has been here for everything and I wanted Alex to know that I went down fighting for his lover. I used my hands, digging my fingers into the blood ground as I heard Wayne cursing at the wound in his calf, did I ever mention the smallest wounds help to his meter rage? I clawed at the bloodied dirt and drug myself toward the only place I knew I was safe, and that was where I knew twelve knives were waiting on me. I moved the slightest, feeling hope immediately swell my broken heart, but it was all lost as a tight grip grabbed my ankle and pulled me back swiftly. I gagged up some blood and slowly rolled over as I looked at Wayne while he wore a sadistic smirk on his face, something wasn't right about him right now and while was always easy to piss off, he appeared very playful. I lifted my foot but he easily stomped it down and caused a loud yell to rip from my throat as my fibula immediately gave and cracked in two from his heavy stomp. I coughed as I rolled onto my side in pain, this was completely torture and then to think I shared my sexual pleasures with this maniac, I'm disgusting. I rolled the opposite way in the hopes that Fran at least got away but I felt my heart drop in my chest as I stared at the unmoving form facing away from me, the person was almost drawled into a fatal position in a familiar green sleeveless shirt and unruly brown hair all over the person's head. I released a loud sob again, being able to hear it this time as I felt alone and completely helpless, I looked at Wayne as he held out his hand in the direction of Fran's limp body and the silver knife came flying into his hand before landing perfectly upright. I turned my attention back to Wayne while it then dawned on me that everyone I loved and know was dying and it only killed me more inside. I fell back into the blood below me, even when it wasn't mine, as I sobbed to the sky while praying once more for help, can't lightening strike Wayne right now, can anything happen?
"You should be thanking me, everyone you love will never be hurt again." Wayne said in his comforting voice, it was his pillow talk or apologizing voice. "Barry... the triplets... Francis... my master is probably finishing off the dominates in the pack right now... and you, babe... you're next on the list."
I was next, I was going to be the next to go and truth be told, I was ready now. Barry was gone. My triplets were gone. My best friend was gone. Now, it was my turn and I didn't care, I would throw myself on the blade if I could, I stared up at Wayne as more tears streaked down my bloodied face, this was it, this was what I wanted. I raised my hand in a gesture to beckon him on, watching as my own hand waved up and down weakly as I tried to steady it but it was useless as I dropped my bloodied hand back down and felt the blood below splatter up. So many people slaughtered, so many people explosively decapitated, so many lives taken away so soon. And for what? Power? What's power when you have no one to rule over? I looked up as Wayne wiped Fran's blood on his bloodied pants and smiled sadly at me, or at least he was a very good actor because he actually looked upset. I turned away, avoiding his look as I stared at the blurry Medical Hut, the ringing in my ears started up again as I felt agony course through my head and almost knock me out. I screamed but it went deaf on me as I arched my back and blood poured from my lips again, what the hell, is Wayne controlling my body and killing me or was it the other demon thing? I screamed again as Wayne took a step back, I heard his feet slosh in the blood below him as he glanced around unsurely before looking toward the Medical Hut as I did as well. A brown wolf came flying out the wooden wall and landed heavily before it pulled itself back up to it's feet and released a loud, threatening howl that called more people forth to help the fight. The brown wolf was wounded terribly with a small lip and a terrible bloody gash on it's side that showed no progress, I stared on as the wolf huffed and looked toward Fran before stiffening completely in terror. That's Alexander, oh no, he knows Wayne killed Fran... he knows his lover, his
husband
is gone. I looked back at Wayne as he curled his lip while Alexander looked at him while still in wolf form, he bared his teeth viciously as Wayne chuckled and ran toward Alexander, who also ran toward him. Mid run, Wayne changed into a deep red wolf that pounced and barely avoided Alexander's jaws digging into his paw, I slowly pulled myself up and watched as Wayne tried to snag Alexander at profusely bleeding wound. I looked at the silver blade and cursed mentally at how far it was away, I looked up to the sky and almost smiled at the clearing sky because someone had listened, even if they hadn't meant to. It was a miracle that Alexander had been thrown out of the Medical Hut just in time to stop Wayne from taking yet another innocent life... was I innocent? I rolled onto my side and turned myself in the direction of the knife before using my toes to dig toward it while also clawing at the bloodied ground with my sore fingers. They scared and ached as I used them but I wasn't stopping, I had to save the rest of the people here if not myself or Fran, I looked up as my vision immediately wavered and I was seeing two red wolves pinning Alexander down by the throat. I saw that I was really needed as I watched panic fill Alex's eyes, I stretched my arm as far as I could as I felt the blade brush my bloody fingertips as scratches lined my flesh. I hissed at the pain as the silver pierced through my flesh but I fought it as I halted at another vision waver, fuck! Now I was seeing two blades. I grabbed the first one and was successful as I found strength to heave my upper half up and chuck the knife in the direction of the two, I heard a painful howl and looked up in fear that I had thrown the knife at the wrong time and had actually struck Alexander instead of Wayne. I looked up as the two red wolves stepped back a silver blade wedged deep into their hind leg, the two red wolves limped back as I heard the scariest sound in my voice. It was a very heavy roar that sent a chill up my voice, I looked over at the hole in the Medical Hut as a jet black, gigantic wolf stepped out with piercing red eyes trained on Alexander and Wayne in their wolf forms. I wasn't sure if it was Alpha or just another dominate until the gigantic beast snapped it's head my way and I saw the man of my dreams sparkle in his blue eyes... it was Barry! I couldn't fight my triumphant smirk as I pointed to the two red wolves with a shaky finger as the edges of my vision finally darkened, oh yeah... I'm bleeding badly aren't I. I looked at my hands as the wounds on my fingers slowly healed at the speed of freshly whipped molasses, it was worst than the consistency of honey, I'm going to die at this rate... I allowed my heavy head to fall to the ground as I blinked, my eyelashes picking up droplets of blood as I ferociously blinked to stay conscious, I was scared of leaving Barry after he hadn't left me. Barry growled and snarled aggressively, challenging Wayne to back down as I turned my head while still having the lower part of my face smudged in the blood ground of the pack village. It was a bloodbath and I was sure I was covered in it head to toe, I looked up as Barry advanced to Wayne, who wasn't showing a sign of backing down. I watched as Alexander took that as an opportunity and slammed his jaws on Wayne's neck as hard as he could, even with blood pouring out of his side, bones shattered as Wayne whimpered before going limp. I allowed my head to fall back to the ground as my heart felt a little lighter, if Wayne had took so many lives, he had given his with agony in his present death, it was semi-better than a quick, painless death. I felt my eyelids droop and tried to fight the sleepiness overtaking me as I felt something brush against my face and then heard something sniffing me heavily while my instincts told me not to worry, I was safe now. I slowly pulled my eyes back open and looked up as Barry's wolf took the time to sniff me and then inspect my wounds as he licked at my bloodied face. I smiled lightly as Barry continued to lick the many victims' blood off my face, as well as my tears as they continued to stream in sadness that Alexander was now alone in this world. I cried because I no longer had my babies, I just felt it in my heart that they were gone and put into a better place without having to feel an inch of pain, one thing I was thankful for. I was soon seeing four deep red eyes as I stared at Barry's blemish free face while he stared down at me and gently stroked locks of hair out of my face, I smiled while trying to decide which set of eyes to linger on.
"........" Barry's mouth was moving but I couldn't hear what he was saying.
I just stared at his kissable lips as they came together and parted to form words, it was bittersweet as I watched him talk but couldn't hear a word he was saying, I wished I could hear what he was telling me by the look in his eyes. They were glassy as I continued to stare at him with a clueless, tired smile, I wanted to sleep but I was scared that I wouldn't wake up the next day, would everything be back the way it was and I'll wake up next to Wayne. Was this just a dream? Was this actually reality? ... What's the difference? I slowly reached up, my hand shaky as I touched my bloody fingertips to Barry's stubby cheek, his deep red eyes stared at me as I allowed my hand to fall while a small smile lingered on my face and I didn't hide it any longer. I wanted this to last, I wanted this to be forever but who knew what would happen, what the outcome was. I stared at Barry a little longer, staring at his kissable lips, his beautiful red eyes as they glowed brightly, his smooth but also stubble skin along his jawline, he was more then ripped as he pulled me to him and continued to talk to me but it was useless as I couldn't hear anything. I continued to watch his lips move before I realized he was singing instead of actually talking, his fingers trailed through my hair as I tried to identify what he was singing but as I said, it was useless. I enjoyed the feeling of his fingers brushing through my bloody, matted hair without the care that his fingers were bloodied and sometimes yanking at my hair and pulling painfully at my scalp. His actions slowly lullabied me to sleep as I leaned into him a little more, well... this was it, this was what I had to face as I coughed up more blood while the wound in my chest showed no process of healing.
"Th... This i... is it." I coughed up. "I... I l... l... l..." I trailed, closing my eyes as I waited for this to end and to not feel anymore pain.
I held still, ready to go as I realized that this was a good thing, Barry no longer needed me in his life because he was a man now and while I would always love him no matter where I was, this was going to be the end and there was no stopping it. My heart ached as Barry shifted a little, I resist the urge to move as I continued to wait... the metallic taste in my mouth never vanished as more blood seeped out and down my red stained face. It was coming... I'm feeling it... I feel lighter... I feel fuller... it's time, it's finally time. I waited more, hearing completely nothing but buzzing in my ear as I continued to wait. Growing restless, I peeked an eye open and looked at Barry as he looked at me with a raised eyebrow. I stared at him for a second before looking at the blood caked wound on his neck, his fingernails had clawed blood to the surface for me to heal and I wanted to punch him in the throat for it. I was going to see the holy man above and my triplets but he had to ruin it, how ungrateful! I sat up and glared at Barry as he continued to stare at me with a raised eyebrow, I coughed and wiped my mouth before spitting the blood out.
"You... r... ruin... everything." I coughed, lightly smiling as I stared up at him
"I can't let you go so easily." His new deep voice caused me to shiver as I stared at him.
Right...
# Chapter Eight
The sky was a glistening blue shade, no cloud was in the sky but that didn't stop the crispy air bringing a autumn chill as I stood in a heavy blue button coat hiding my baby blue button up shirt that I wore a pair of black slacks and bare, navy blue painted feet. I shoved my hands into my pocket as I stood, feeling the dirt shift under my bare feet and the soft swirls of wind brushing through my long hair as it smacked into the butt of my button coat. It had grew excessively since the entire ordeal and I found no reason to cut it off, I gulped as I stared before me, the sun would be nestled against the horizon soon and while I had told my love that I would be back before sunset, I guess I had lied. The nearest cemetery was miles out but it was a walk I was willing to take, I couldn't visit everyday but ever chance I could, I took it and because Barry was so busy and always on sharp eggshells about everything, he never really get the time to visit. I saw nothing wrong with it though, considering I would always bring his saddened blessing whenever I would lean down and kiss the three small headstones aligned with one another. Their graves were still freshly covered so there wasn't grass over it yet but I didn't complain, I felt that when grass was present, it meant their souls had truly moved on and I wouldn't be able to see them until the day came for my turn, since it wasn't during the bloodbath like I had hoped. That was a good thing, you could say because everything slowly fell right into place where I needed it to: Abbigail was charged with pack treason, aiding a fugitive, deadly intentions, and a few extra charges that would most likely lead her to the death penalty after she has her baby, as I said, she's ready to pop any day now. There was a new Alpha in town, he's the sexiest man of my life and his deep red eyes keep me guessing everyday, and the reason he had took oath and office was because our previous Alpha had put himself on a death mission. While hospitalized for the rest of his life, Francis is getting better everyday and is coming back with more attitude and sassiness than he left with. Wayne was...
well
, dead and burned to skeletons with his rich red coat being used as the new rug in our gigantic new hut. As for me, I'm taking it day by day, it gets hard sometimes but I know it's just a phase because well... you lose some and you win some, and with the triplets gone, I'll still trying to figure out if I won or lose. I nibbled on my lip as a tear slowly crept down my face, I still missed them more than ever and while Barry said the pain wouldn't last, I still felt it deep in my heart because they were here for me when no one else was, they were my babies. I took a heavy breath and pulled myself together before turning and slowly trekking my way back to my real home, my safe haven where I felt whole and completed. Orange, red, and brown leaves crunched as I walked with my hands tucked away in my pockets, I had no worries about rogues because they stayed as far away as possible with the many trapped stories that scared them awake at night, some still don't believe that something great is out to get us. I guess they shall never know. I grabbed onto a tree trunk for leverage as I entered the village clearing to see a large, silent crowd as they patiently waited for something. I frowned as I moved closer, I shoved my hands back in my pockets and curiously cocked my head as I weaved my way through the crowd while a few people moved aside the Alpha's mate to pass,
yours truly
, of course. I came to a stop in front just as Beta Ryan came from out the Representative's Hut while having a firm grip on Abbigail's elbow. Blood caked between her legs as they shook like Jell-O, I felt bad for her as she had just got done with child birth and went straight to a sentencing, and I guess this was the hearing of the case, we were about to find out what she was facing.
"Abbigail's been sentenced to... um, death." Beta Ryan said respectfully, making the crowd jeer as she hissed angrily at us.
"All of you can rot in hell, you murderers!" She screamed as we all stared on, some people still cheering at her misfortune. "You killed my brother! You killed him!"
I watched as Beta Ryan pulled her toward the woods to end her... suffering, it was really our suffering ending but it'll let that rest there because that's opening a can of worms that I was happy to seal. I walked up to the hut and pushed aside the newly installed hut door before closing it behind me, signaling that no one was allowed because there was a meeting going on, I immediately heard the sound of wailing as I rounded the corner and smiled lightly at Barry while he held the wrapped, squirming little child. He looked at me and a warm smile came over his face as he moved to let me hold her, I took the sweet newborn carefully before gently rocking her while her crying seized slightly. Barry stooped over my shoulder and smiled as the baby girl silenced finally as I continued to gently rock her back to sleep, I looked up at him and couldn't resist the smile on my face as he pecked my lips.
"Well?" Barry asked, leaning against the large table in the room as smoke rolled out the installed chimney hole.
"Well what?" I asked in confusion, cutting him a curious look while my smile continued to linger, I looked back down at the baby as she opened her beautiful blue eyes and yawned.
"What are we going to name our new baby girl,
Mr. Alentine
?" Barry asked, standing up and walking over to me and the baby so he could wrap us in his arms.
"I was thinking... Autumn,
Mr. Alentine
." I replied, looking up at him while hoping he'd accept the name.
"I like that... Autumn." Barry agreed thankfully, making me smile as I gently rocked Autumn when she started to mewl because I had subconsciously stopped.
She was going to be a good person, unlike the other side of her bloodline.
"Autumn Alentine."
Autumn Alentine...
