บททั้งหมดของ Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?: บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

My entire body was trembling as I stepped out into the open air. My heart was pounding so hard I swear I could feel it in my ears. I was terrified. Shocked at the things that had just happened within the walls of my home. A home that was already filled with so many bad memories, but now I had more to add to them. I tried to compose myself, but nothing I did worked. I felt like I was waiting. Expecting the moment my father flew after us. Demanding me home. But it never came…Instead, Alpha Carter walked me from my family home, striding confidently and without so much as a hesitation. He seemed to know what he was doing. He was calm. Or he appeared to be. As we neared the end of the driveway on which me home sat, he turned to me. “Are you okay?” he asked softly. The softest I think I may have ever heard his voice.I looked up at him, offering a wry smile, and a small shrug. He may well have taken me from my home now, but I would still have to face the

My whole world felt like it was crumbling around me, yet I did not feel an ounce of regret. The booming voices of Alpha Carter and my own pack, Alpha, Alpha Aaron, were back and forth, and had been for some time since he demanded to speak with him. I had lost track of the conversation a while ago. All I knew was that it was not an amicable conversation. Voices were rased and insulting words were being used…I knew that the things Alpha Carter had to say to Alpha Aaron were never going to be easy to hear, although, I too, had to agree with the suspicion of Alpha Carter that there had been some level of covering up for the man that had been his best friend since childhood. So, how much of what Alpha Aaron was hearing was news to him, and how much of it was hidden secrets? Protecting the man that had been by his side through thick and thin. But, that did not make it okay. There were still rules to follow, and my father, in truth, had broken many. I felt a fool for not spe

The frustrating asshole that was Alpha Aaron was not for listening to me. I did not know if he was just trying to be difficult, or if he was in denial abut the man that was his pack Beta. I struggled to believe for a moment that he was totally unaware of the man he had become. The stench of alcohol alone that lingered around Beta Kian was like a warning beacon in itself. But there had to have been other signs for the pack Alpha as to what was occurring within the walls of that home. This man was his best friend. His closest colleague and ally, after all...“This is not your pack, and your input is not needed.” Alpha Aaron attempted to enforce yet again. Any of my suggestions, or the information I provided to the man in charge of this pack appeared to be falling upon deaf ears, and I could not have been more frustrated. He had to be delusioned. Either that or he was trying to protect his friend. But as an Alpha, that was not something you could allow yourself. He had to be impartial. H

All heads had turned to watch the men walk from the room. I could not help but have a smile tease at the corner of my mouth. A smile that soon vanished as Alpha Aaron’s voice boomed. “Shut that fucking door and tell me what the fuck has gone on.”I moved toward the door, and closed it quietly, dreading what was about to come, but also desperate to hear the information that would confirm the demise of my father. Confirm my final safety. I watched anxiously as Matty and Leo sat themselves down upon the sofa. Like two sides of a completely different coin. Their composure was the complete opposite of one another. Matty appeared oddly calm, while my brother was perching nervously on the edge of the seat, his arm wrapped uncomfortably around himself. I think he was struggling with what was happening...“There isn’t a great deal to tell.” Matty sounded oddly calm, matching the aura surrounding him. I struggled to understand this, considerin

We had been dismissed, or perhaps it was more a case of I had chosen to leave. Either way, we were no longer needed, and quite honestly, listening to the disgrace under which this pack was run, I was not willing to work with them, business connections or not. I strode along that hallway without looking back, leaving the fool of an Alpha to deal with the chaos that I could only imagine was ensuing inside.I had told Mari that she could have a fresh start. A new pack away from the cruel life she lived here, but it appeared the one good thing this pack had, the upcoming Alpha, may well have dealt with the issue at the heart of it all, meaning Mari could remain with her brother, and those she cared for. She had not needed the fresh start I had offered, which was fine with me. Saved me the hassle.“Are you okay?” Hudson asked, hours later, as we sat within my room. I was tossing my things into my bag, in preparation to leave, while my friends were doing as they
