UNKNOWN
I had to make sure she was still there.
I have to keep watch.
I know the pack will help me as they know what happened to my first mate.
“Is that her?” whispered Alanna, who is looking at a girl putting a bag of rubbish in the trash bin.
I look at her, hoping for some sign that it is her. Till I see it.
It is her.
She looks ill, pale and skinny too.
The only way I know it is her; she looks so much like my first mate.
“Yeah it is” I say to Alanna.
She looks back at the girl who is looking around and going towards the house. Thank god for Austin being there.
What the hell has that woman done to my baby?
The door shuts and I sigh, I look over my shoulder to the see Alpha Marcus looking at me.
He gives me a sad smile, looking at the direction of the girl.
“She is human, Jackson” he says and looks back at me “We don’t normally let humans in the pack but since she is your daughter, we will have her. She should be in our care from the start”
“Does Hudson know Alpha?” I ask him and he nods “He knows that she is in there, just told him through mind link, he will help. He is taking that human on a date tonight so we might have a chance of getting her.”
“What about that wicked b***h?” says Alanna with a hint of anger.
Alpha Marcus looks back at her with a smirk “Alanna, are we jealous or something.”
Alanna growls but I keep my laugh in as I watch my second chance mate. I was happy to find out that I had a daughter but Aubrey kept her for the money. I have been fighting for her, but I don’t know what Aubrey has done to her. She not the same girl I left.
“I’m not jealous but I want the girl to be safe and she not the nicest of people” she says “Clara heard the way the two women treat her, it’s not good”
A bang of guilt hits me hard; tears are trying to make their way from my eyes.
“Jackson, I’m sorry my darling” Alanna says as she places her hand on my arm.
“Alpha, the women are coming back now” says Beta Logan.
We all look back at the shiny new car she has.
They pull up into the drive, they look horrendous.
Both have high heels on with short skirts that barely cover their asses and tops. I know it is a sunny day but all that for what.
They make their way to the door but with our werewolf hearing, we hear shouting and someone falling down something. I growl, but Beta Logan holds me back.
That woman has hurt my baby.
Alanna glares at the house “We need to get her from there” she says, looking at the both Beta Logan and Alpha Marcus. They nod; I can see the intense hatred they have for the people in the house.
Suddenly Austin leaves the house, slamming the door behind him.
He walks down the path.
“Can you hear me?” He says in a whisper but only loud enough for us to hear.
“Yeah come to the path, we will meet you there” Alpha Marcus says.
We all turn to leave and head towards the path.
Austin is pissed; he would have steam coming from his ears if he could.
“Jackson, Brooke needs to leave now. That b***h hurt her, I think she might have broken her wrist when she pushed her” he says.
Growls escape everyone.
“How is she?” I ask “How is my Brooke?”
He looks at me, gives me a sad smile “She is ok. Still doesn’t talk. I don’t think she ever will. She hasn’t eaten in days but I did make her something even though she couldn’t eat it all, she did eat some” he says, he looks at Alpha Marcus “What’s the plan Alpha?”
“Hudson is picking Madison up and taking her out, your mother is going out with another wolf but she doesn’t know that part yet” he says with a look to Beta Logan, who looks like he is going to throw up “Once everyone has left, you are to go and collect her”
Austin nods but looks at me “What are you going to do Jackson?”
I look at him and smile, “I will be waiting at the pack house with Alanna.”
Austin smiles but turns to look at the house he came from “I cannot believe that I am related to both of them. They are monsters. They should be put down for what they have done to Brooke” he looks back at me and smile “Thank you for reaching out to me, I wanted to help Brooke since you left and not only that, I wouldn’t have met my mate Tasha”
I chuckle “No worries my boy, I am glad that my daughter has one good person in her life”
But the guilt of leaving her there is hard, I know Alanna can feel what I feel through the mate bond but she gives me a smile “She will forgive you darling, but you need to tell her the truth about everything”
I look at the house. The house that Aubrey took over, it was my house with my first mate. Then we had Brooke. She was perfect but that stupid fight Melissa and I had; it ended her life and nearly took Brooke’s too. I hate the wolf that did that.
A tear escapes my eye and rolls down my cheek. Alanna’s hand gently takes my tear away and smiles up at me.
“Come we must leave now” says Alpha Marcus “Hudson is on his way”
We all turn around and shift into our wolf forms, heading back to the pack house which is about forty minutes away from where my daughter has been living. I need her back in my life. That stupid b***h took her from me, told the court I was unfit to be her father.
I AM COMING FOR MY BABY GIRL.
BROOKE
The house shook as whoever left the house leaves.
They were shouting for twenty minutes.
Music blasts right through the house as we know that Madison is getting ready.
I am still looking at the ceiling.
My wrist is still hurting really bad, it might be broken.
I drift in and out, I’m really tired.
I pull the blanket up over my shoulders. It is a thin blanket but it covers me. I know it won’t keep the cold off me.
Within a few seconds, I am asleep. Darkness is the only place I know.
