LOGINI watch as my Gamma runs to my house from Amy’s. What the fuck is he doing? Why is he talking to her all of the sudden? And why is it pissing me off so bad?
Once he steps inside, I grab him by the throat and throw him into the wall. “What the fuck are you doing?” I yell, not understanding my own emotions. “Put him down, Liam.” My father comes out of nowhere and calmly commands me. I growl but let my friend down. He smirks up at me, “Goddess, I was only talking to her. What’s the big deal?” Dallas asks. That’s the problem, I don’t know what the big deal is. I haven’t spoken to Amy since we were twelve. Why do I care that he’s talking to her. When I saw him talking to her at lunch though it took everything in me not to rip his head off, now he’s walking her home. Fuck! I need to get myself under control.
“The problem is that she’s human. She shouldn’t even know about our existence, let alone start seeing any of us!” I shout, still not having my temper one hundred percent under control. My dad walks over, being a busy body today of all days. “I don’t see the problem. She already knows of our existence, her and her mom don’t go around telling anybody, and Dallas still has a couple months until he turns eighteen. Let’em have some fun, until he can find his mate.” My anger flares at him saying let them have some fun. Is my dad the new pimp of the pack? I growl at my dad, giving him warning to leave us alone, but he is the Alpha of the pack. There isn’t much I can do if he wants to stay. He laughs at me and goes on his merry way. Just then Cole and Walker come into the house. I look through the door and see Amy greeting Mia at her door, before Cole shuts the door interrupting my stalking.
Luckily, no one seems to notice. I finally give up on Dallas and we all move to the game room. I grab a pool stick and so does Walker, and I go to break. “So, what’s up with you and Amy?” Cole asks Dallas, while they both grab a drink from mini fridge. He smirks at me and then answers Cole, “I’m not sure. She said something funny in the lunch line today, and now I can’t stop thinking about her.” My pool stick breaks from the pressure I had it under while listening to him. He smirks over at me again, “Future Alpha over here doesn’t want me to be talking to her though.” They all look over at me questioningly. I shrug and grab a beer from the fridge. I don’t know what they want me to say, and I have no idea what I want to say, so I’ll just stay quiet.
“When I asked her, what was going on, she wasn’t very friendly.” Cole says laughing, Dallas looks at him with murder in his eyes. “What did you say?” He asks accusingly, Cole smirks. “Just asked her what was going on and she waded up my note and threw it away!” Cole says looking hurt. A small laugh comes from Dallas, “I invited her to the party this weekend.” Dallas informs us not remarking on Cole talking to Amy, causing my hair to stand on ends. “You did what?” I shout, they all look at me confused but they try and laugh it off. “Is she coming?” Walker asks, I intently listen. For some reason I’m not sure which answer I’m hoping for. “No, she says she has plans.” Dallas answers, and for some reason I deflate a little. Walker laughs, and speaks, “Well, that’s bullshit.” I look at him confused. He rolls his eyes, “Mia’s coming to the party. Mia’s her only friend. She has no plans she just didn’t want to come with you.” He explains looking straight at Dallas and smirks at him, I see him deflate just a little. I don’t know why, but that makes me smile.
He hops off the counter he was leaning against and pulls out his phone. He starts texting someone. Cole laughs, “Are you texting her?” Dallas smirks and nods. The fact that he has her number has me feeling a certain type of way, but I don’t understand it.
Soon, we hear his phone chime, and we all seem interested on what she has to say. “Says her mom wants to hang out with her on Saturday, so she’s spending the day with her.” Dallas smirks. I can tell he has a plan, but I still don’t think it’s the best idea to have her come to the party. She gets bullied enough at school, who knows how much worse it could be without any adults. “Whatcha thinking?” Cole asks Dallas. He looks up at us with a big smile, “I’m thinking, mom’s love me.” That gets a laugh from everybody but me.
“It’s really not a good idea. Clara and the girls are going to be here, and you know how they are with her. Plus, Olive has a thing for you, it’ll get that much worse for her if Olive sees her hanging out with you.” I try and reason with them, because clearly I would have to Alpha command them to listen to me at this point, and I don’t have that ability just yet. Walker and Cole seem to think about it, but Dallas has anger written all over his face. “I’ll kill all of them if they lay a finger on her.” He says slowly, and murderously. I’ve literally never seen him act like that in my life. Does he actually have feelings for her? How? They literally just started talking today.
I look at him like he’s grown an extra head. He seems to cool off, but I guess I was wrong. “Just keep your slut and her friends away from us.” He says calmly, but a growl comes from the back of his throat. He hasn’t taken his eyes off me, then he walks out of the room. A few seconds later I hear my front door slam shut. What the fuck just happened? I look at Walker and Cole, who look just as dumbfounded as me. Cole speaks first, “Fuck, did she put a love spell on him or something? What the fuck was that?”
I don’t think she could have put a love spell on him. All witches live outside pack lands, and she never leaves. How would she have gotten ahold of one? The question still needs an answer, because I don’t know why my gamma is acting like that. “Yeah, we’re gonna have to figure out what’s going on, because that.” I gesture toward the door, “can’t be happening.”
I see my mom coming downstairs, but she stops in the doorway. “A love spell? Seriously?” My mom says, while rolling her eyes. She’s always had a soft spot for Amy, she was never happy with me that I cut off contact with her. “Did you see him?” Walker asks her, gesturing at the door. She laughs, “You guys ever think maybe if you got to know her, you’d like her to? You boys sit over here in your ivory tower and think because she’s not a part of it that she isn’t worth it. And as someone who does love her, I can promise you she’s worth it. And Liam before you got your wolf you thought she was worth it to. You boys still have so much growing up to do.” She rolls her eyes and walks back up the stairs.
Leave it to my mom to throw me under the bus and walk away. What is up with my parents today, all team Amy right now. Not saying they don’t love her, but they aren’t usually so blatant about throwing it in my face.
I look over at my friends and shrug, not wanting any questions. I grab another beer while Walker and Cole grab the remotes, to start playing some video game. What is going on right now? Everything feels off. It can’t all be just because Dallas wants to be with Amy.
I lay down on the grass, my hand buried in Leah’s fur, my eyes closed to the sun beating down on me. Something that I haven’t felt in months. More like years. I hadn’t been able to spend much time in the sun since we got back, so even though this isn’t real… It still feels nice.“You know your friends have more faith in you than you seem to have in yourself.” The witch says gently, sitting down beside me in the grass.I take a deep breath, “That doesn’t surprise me.” I tell her without opening my eyes.I know it’s been days since she’s let me control my own body. I know she’s starving me… But I can’t feel it in here. It doesn’t hurt in here.“Did you ever have that?” I ask her, and I hear her sigh. She’s takes so long to answer I figure the answer isn’t coming. “Once.” She finally whispers, and I open my eyes to her looking off into the distance.I sit up in the grass and look over at her, “You know my daughter loved fairy tales growing up. She’s always wish for the heroin to win, but
Walker and I walk over to Cole’s house, wanting to discuss this witch situation. See if she can tell me anything more about it.We walk inside and head to Hazel’s room that has all her books and potions. The doors cracked open, and I freeze. “We have to tell someone. She hasn’t eaten in days. The witch is going to kill the baby.” Aspen’s voice leaks out of the room; my whole-body feels numb… Baby?I feel Walker’s hand squeeze my shoulder, but I barely notice it. Baby?“We’re keeping it secret for a reason, Aspen. If the witch finds out…” She doesn’t need to finish.My mind goes back to the other day when Amy freaked out. Was this why? Is that when she realized she was pregnant? Is that why she needed to see Hazel so bad.Amy’s pregnant… How do I even handle this situation right now?“I realize this, but it doesn’t change the facts.” Aspen hisses, and Hazel sighs, “As much as I hate to say it… It might be for the best, Aspen.”I lean back against the wall, sliding down to the floor, no
I walk down to the cells a few days later. Liam’s been trying to recruit more witches, but it’s tricky because we don’t know who to trust. Even Hazel isn’t sure how to know for sure we can trust them, even with the help of Gabby the witch Renolds sent over here.We’re not even one hundred percent sure we can trust her.And on top of all of that, Amy’s stopped eating.Liam, Dallas, Griffon, everyone’s been trying to get her to eat something, but apparently, she’s just been sitting in the back corner staring at the bars.I decided I’d give it a shot. I still haven’t told anyone about what I know about her, and she can’t not eat in her situation. So, while they’re all concerned, they don’t know the actual severity of her not eating.I get down to the cells, and see Dallas sitting outside hers, just staring into the cell. I walk up next to him, but he doesn’t stop staring at her. “What are you doing?” I whisper like she can’t hear me, but I know she does. She doesn’t move though. Her eyes
My hearts on the floor as we try to figure out what to do. Amy’s body in my hands, after I made Dallas bring her out to me.“This has to have something to do with the witch. They wouldn’t have both passed out at the same time otherwise. We don’t need a doctor, we need Hazel.” Cole says as I finally come out of my frantic thoughts.I find him, and he’s looking at me, waiting for me to decide. But I know as much as him… He’s probably right. It’s definitely strange that they both went down at the same time.I nod, my voice not coming to me.I look back down at Amy, begging the Goddess to bring her back, when her eyes start to flutter open.“Angel…” She cuts me off. Her hand wrapping around my neck and pulling me down to her lips.The kiss is like coming up for air, while taking away my breath at the same time. It’s so rare anymore that I get to feel this close to her. Be this close to her.I pull her closer, taking this in no matter who’s watching.She pulls away and I reluctantly let he
White light suddenly surrounds Amy and I, and our bodies are pulled from the vision, and into… Another one?Four people stand in front of us, and Amy breaks down the second we’re standing still.“Mom.” She wisps, falling forward and pulling her into her arms. Alpha John walks over to me and pulls me to him. “Aspen. You’ve been so strong.” He whispers, and feelings I didn’t even realize I had spill out. Tears falling from my eyes.He chuckles, pulling away from me, and looking into my eyes. “We’re so proud of you.” He tells me, then turns to Amy as she pulls away from her mom and looks up at him sheepishly.He shakes his head, “Not for a second, Amy. You did what you had to do.” He tells her and pulls her to his chest and her sobs deepen.He shushes her calmly, his hand petting her hair soothingly. “I’m so sorry.” She rasps. I quickly realize there’s more to his death then what I’ve been told.He shakes his head, “I’d only have been mad had you done it to save me. I would have dead a t
My eyes slide to Amy, sitting in her new recliner chair next to the bars. Her eyes on the screen but not really watching the movie.Finn glances at me, then his eyes follow mine. He purses his lips, ‘This is stupid. Us trying to pretend like everything is normal, while she’s locked in a cell.’ He mind-links, and my eyes move to Liam sitting next to her, his hand locked around hers through the bars. His eyes not moving from her face.I swallow down the tears that want to come when I see the pain in his eyes. ‘They’re trying. There’s nothing we can do right now anyway. What’s it hurt to try?’ I ask him.‘Randy and I could be helping my mom.’I run my hand through my hair. ‘You guys are barely trained and Renolds witch should be here tomorrow. She’ll be more helpful than you guys.’‘Rude.’ He sneers, but when I look up at him, he’s smirking. I smile, ‘What can you do?’ I ask him, and his smirk widens. ‘I’d show you, but Griffon will probably kill me. He’s already staring at me like he wa
