Lost and Alone, but Never Broken

Chapter 31 – Fragile

Alpha Tristen

My eyes burrowed into Erica’s as I held her above the floor by her throat. Squeezing my grip tighter, I could not help but feel satisfied at her pain and discomfort. She was a threat, a threat to the new centre of my world. She had committed a crime against my Flicka, the Luna of my pack. I wanted to keep going, watch the life fade from her eyes as I inflicted my punishment on her. I could not resist my lips pulling upwards into a smile as her hands clawed at my wrist trying to break free of my hold with no success.

That’s when I heard it, my little Fee’s near broken voice. I could not quite capture what she said, but the sheer emotion peaked my attention. Turning, I saw Fee and Larix, they were close, too close. Warning bells sounding within me, my voice shot out, “Get away from her!”

Larix did not even appear to hear me, either did Fee as she stayed pinned to the ground unmoving. Dropping Erica to the ground, she fell hard to the floor as I stepped over her in my next breath. B-lining for Fee, I watched as Larix reached out gripping her little wrist. Anger flaring with in me, I moved faster needing to intervene. Stopping feet from their position, I was too late as Larix ripped her with force to his bare chest. A sense of fear over came me as the scent of blood filled the air.

He touched her, Larix had my little Flicka in his grasp. His fingers were fanned out holding her so tightly his knuckles whitened. I could not see the blood, but the scent was growing thicker in the air. Head bowed into her body, I could not even see Larix’s face, but knew he was taking in her scent. Closing the short distance left between us I knuckled my hand into a fist brining it into the top of Larix’s head. I watched the whole vibration of the movement filter through his body sending him backward to the floor.

Using his instability and shock at the hit to my advantage, I easily pried my Fee from his filthy hands. Turning Fee in my arms, I looked for the blood to find no damage, but tears streaming down her face. Red blotches marred her pale skin, she appeared like a small child crying for her mother. Taking her little face in my hands I wiped at her tears bringing her into the safety of my body. Nobody would hurt or frighten her again, I did not care what it took. I would kill to keep her out of harms way. Burring her face in my chest I felt her sob, actually sob as she shook against me.

I knew I had not known her for long, but this was something else, she did not really cry. If she did, it was like she did not understand why water flowed from her face. The closer I held her, the worse she became. Looking over at Larix who was still on the floor, I felt my irritation rise, what did he do to her. Focusing on his chest I could see little trails of blood. Extending Fee’s hand in my own, I realized Fee had dug her nails into his chest to the point of drawing blood. The blood still staining her fingertips and nails. Standing in seconds, Larix turned on us, his face morphing into that of my own, seeming to mimic my expression. He was furious.

As he took a step toward our position, I felt the danger rise. Pulling Fee completely behind my body sheltering her, “you will not touch my mate Larix. Try it again and I will remove those arms, council member or not.” Coughing and spluttering on the floor, I could hear as Erica pulled herself to her knees, crawling toward Larix. Completely ignoring her position and presence he took another step forward, the look on his face in no way changing.

Challenging his movement, I also took a step forward holding Fee further away from my body. “Fee!” I heard Lilly’s sharp scream ripple through the air pulling everyone’s attention. She hardly ever spoke, let alone yelled. Pulling from Luke’s arms everyone around watched her run toward my position, as her little feet thudding against the floor. Steering around me, I did not even think to react, so shocked at the sight and sound before me. Colliding with Fee, the two girls toppled to the floor. Wincing at the sound of the thud to the floor, I immediately turned my attention to Fee and Lilly knowing the weakness in my little Fee’s human body.

Lilly straddled my Flicka’s hips pinning her to the floor. Reaching out for Lilly’s arms to pull her off Fee, I missed as her top half suddenly lowered, covering Fees body with her own. She may be excited to meet her new Luna, but Lilly still knew better then to use her name. Respect was needed, and right now she was being disrespectful. After everything that had been happening, my instincts were demanding respect and punishment, as a low growl escaped me. Leaning down further, I pulled Lilly up from the floor, tossing her towards Luke. Luke was approaching our position, his arms Jutting out to catch Lilly as I bent down to pull Fee back into the safety of my arms.
