His Little Wolf
Chapter 46

Bethany

“When will he wake up?” I’m in the Alpha lounge with Annabella Brooke, Cal, Ashley, Jack, And Toby plus both sets of parents are on their way up. It’s been this way for the last two days, since the moment Liam fell into some kind of coma, Annabella isn’t worried but I am, I just want him to wake up now, I need him to wake up.

“It’s hard to say Bethany, but there’s no indication that he won’t!” She seems so sure; I just wish I could have some of her confidence in this.

“Come on you it’s time for school!” Brooke nudges me but school is the last place I want to be right now.

“Katie is waiting outside for you Bethany!” Toby calls out from across the room where he’s talking to Calvin.

“Can I please stay home today? I want to be here when he wakes up!”

“Babygirl, we both know that if he wakes up to replace out you’ve skipped school for him, he will not be happy!” Ashley says as he walks towards me and I know he’s right but I still hate leaving him.

I decide to do what Liam would want and get my a*s to school, I head outside to meet Katie and replace her chatting to Jake and his older brother Connor who offers us all a lift to school, not having to get the school bus is music to my ears, that thing is a nightmare every day so right now Connor is my most favourite person in the world!

We soon arrive and after getting the books we need from our lockers we head for our first class of the day English, all three of us are in the same English class which always makes it more fun but the minute we sit down and Mrs. Blackburn starts talking my mind instantly wanders to Liam and I know it’s going to take everything I have to get through today, I already know I won’t learn anything, Liam is well and truly at the front of my mind and he won’t be leaving anytime soon.

Beta Liam

I feel like I’m sitting in the movie theatre but I’m not just watching any old film, I’m watching a film about me, the story of my life, well for the past god knows how many months anyway. It started with the moment Beth and Bella arrived at our pack and watching the moment I found out Beth was my mate was indescribable!

Every emotion that flashed across my eyes I felt inside my body, the need to love and protect her, followed by the anger and sadness of the situation and the hatred towards myself at allowing myself to get fooled by Sarah and for how I’ve treated Bethany in the meantime.

Granted I wasn’t ever mean to her per se but still how I behaved was unacceptable in my eyes, I would never treat my mate like that and I feel like a complete and utter bastard!

And this only adds to the anger I feel towards Sarah, as soon as I get out of where ever the f**k I am I have some serious making up to do and I will make it up to her one way or another!

It’s been hours and this film that I seem to be watching is on some kind of continuous loop, I don’t know whether it is a film or flashbacks but whatever it is, it doesn’t get any easier to watch, it hurts more and more every time.

I can’t see anything but the imagines in front of my eyes, maybe I’m sleeping, maybe this is some kind of dream, I don’t know but either way, I need to wake up, I need to get back to everyone, to my mate, f**k my mate!

It’s insane how all my feelings towards her and the situation can come rushing back to me so fast! I need to see her but I don’t know how to get there, how can I when I don’t even know where the f**k I am?

I close my eyes, well I think I do anyway, and think about Beth and everyone back at the pack, and then I think overall the memories of what happened before I ended up here and reality quickly settles in, I don’t know why it didn’t before but now it has and I’m f*****g livid!

Jacoby tried to kill my mate, MY f*****g MATE! After I’ve seen Beth and made sure she’s ok he’s next on my list, I’m going to tear the fucker to pieces! I take deep breathes and concentrate on Beth’s smile, her laugh, and how she makes me feel I constantly repeat this in my head and it seems this is my way out of here as not long after I’ve started thinking about her, the room starts to spin and my vision becomes blurry and I feel the all too familiar feeling of darkness taking over….

… I open my eyes and instantly regret it, it’s so bright I feel like it burns my eyes, I squeeze them shut for a few moments before I slowly start to open them again taking my time to adjust to the light, my body starts screening out in agony, I feel stiff as a board like I’ve been laying down in the same position for days on end.

I slowly start to sit myself up grunting and groaning quickly realizing I’m in the Alpha’s lounge, I pray this isn’t another film, flashback, or dream as I start looking around but the place is empty, I can’t see a soul.

“Liam, you’re awake!” Now there’s a voice I’m glad to hear, I look to my left and she beams her big bright smile my way.

“Brooke, boy am I happy to see you!” I think I’m ok now; I think I’m awake and back in reality. She calls out Cal’s name and within seconds he appears from the bedroom and stops in his tracks when he sees me sitting up, Brooke bounds over to me and hugs me then Cal appears behind her tapping my shoulder with a look on his face that shows me how much he was worried.

“It’s good to have you back with us brother!” I’m hit with the memory of how I have treated everyone lately, again I haven’t been mean but I’ve not treated anyone as I should, I manage to drag my tired body up and return Brooke’s hug before pulling Calvin in for one.

“Where’s Bethany?” I need to see her and I need to see her now!

“She’s at school Liam, she didn’t want to leave you but we managed to convince her to go, told her you wouldn’t be happy if she skipped school to wait for you to wake up.

“Dam right I wouldn’t, thank you for making her go!” Inside I’m gutted, I need to see her so badly. As I’m about to speak the door flies open and in runs Jack and Ashley both looking happy but nervous, I can see questions swarming in everyone’s minds and I get it.

“Ask away guys!” Jack steps forward, looking straight at me.

“Who’s your mate, Liam?” Everyone’s eyes are on me, Brooke’s more than most.

“Bethany, Bethany is my mate!” They all let out breaths like they have been holding them in for weeks and I guess in a way they have.

“I hope you realize you owe me a date Liam; it’s been way too long!” Ashley sings out but I can see the look in his eyes, he’s testing me.

“I do, you are right beautiful, I’ve got some making up to do with Beth but as soon as I’ve done that, you will get yourself dolled up and we will go dancing!” He looks shocked for a second but it soon turns to a beaming smile, he runs straight at me and literally jumps into my arms, luckily for him I’m quick to catch him as I make a show of spinning him around.

“He’s back! Liam’s finally back!” He shouts out as a laugh shot from my mouth. After a few minutes of commotion, everyone starts to calm down and we all take a seat when Brooke appears with beers for everyone and peppermint tea for herself.

“Liam, how much can you remember?” Cal finally speaks up his voice a mix of my brother and my Alpha.

“Everything Cal, when I was sleeping or whatever I was doing, it was like I was watching a film or having some kind of flashback. It started from the moment Beth and Bella arrived here and ended in the kitchen…. wait a minute…WHERE THE f**k IS JACOBY?

I’M GOING TO f*****g KILL HIM!” I bellow out as I’m reminded of what he did, I jump up ready to replace him but everyone else remains seated and it confuses the f**k out of me.

“Calm down Liam! let me explain everything before you go on a wolf hunt!” He tells me everything about the plan to help me rid the last of the spell and it leaves me torn, part of me still wants to kill him for having his hands on my mate, fake or not but part of me feels a slight bit of respect for him for risking his life to help me.

“We figured it would be wise to keep him away while we explained everything to you!” Jack adds and I have to agree, if he was here when I remembered what he had done no one would have been able to stop me from ending him not even Cal.

“What time is it?”

“3.30, she’ll be home from school soon!” Brooke chimes out knowing why I asked without me having to say a word.

“Wait… she’s in school…but…how long have I been sleeping?” I swear it’s Saturday.

“2 days brother!” Cal answers me this time. f**k 2 days!

“I have so much making up to do to her, to you all, and Bella, f**k I’ve not been the same with her either!” f**k I feel like a waste of space right now. Brooke picks up on my mood straight away and is quick to try and reassure me, I know she means well and I thank her but I know I won’t feel any better until I’ve worked my a*s off to make it up to everyone.

As it gets closer to Beth arriving home, I start getting anxious, I can’t wait to see her but a part of me is scared, what if she hates me for what I’ve done? What if I’ve lost her before our mate bound has even really begun?

Cal can see me overthinking and soon enough has everyone in on a discussion, updating me on things that have happened these past few weeks that I wasn’t aware of including them keeping Marcus alive so I could remember what he had done before he dies and their predicament on Sarah with how to deal with her while she’s pregnant.

Cal knows how to keep me occupied and thankfully time passes by quickly but I can still feel my nerves rising the longer time goes on. Ashley is filling me in on his latest shopping trip as their door to the lounge opens and in walks my mate.

The moment I see her I lose my breath, my heart is pounding so hard in my chest it feels like I’m about to have a f*****g heart attack, my nerves have my hands shaking as I pray to the moon goddess that she doesn’t hate me.

She steps in and quickly locks eyes with me, time seems to stand still and Its torture but then she smiles at me, a huge beaming smile and all my worries melt away, f**k she’s beautiful! She screams my name and literally runs at me, I stand up and catch her and at that moment there’s only me and her, there’s no one here with us, no worries or concerns, everything is perfect, f**k I’ve missed her and the feeling she gives me. After a few minutes, she slowly pulls away from me, staring into my eyes and I know what she’s thinking, what she wants to ask.

“I remember everything Beth, I remember it all my little wolf and I’m so, so sorry!”
