The Gamma's Heart
The Gamma’s Heart – Chapter 42

Clara played with her fingers once she was seated, she heard Wyatt enter and she looked up. She seen Brandon had set up a camera on a tripod.

“I know you don’t want to do this..” Brandon stated “but I should have done this months ago.” Clara nodded, she seen the red light turn on and she asked ” where do I start?”

“From the moment you first seen him!” Brandon told her, and she nodded.

“Clara cleared her throat “That would’ve been the night he took me, he had two shifted wolves with him when he approached me. I was on the phone with Noah when he came from the woods..I ran, but he shot me three times with a tranquilizer.”

“Then what happened?” Brandon had to be professional and act like he didn’t care about the person he was talking to. He couldn’t even allow Wyatt to go near her while the interview took place.

“Noah had me on speaker so his parents, our Beta Female and my other mate Wyatt were there. Our Luna Wendy told me that the boys and Alpha Dan were on the way.” I felt tears in my eyes as I remembered that night.

I looked up at Wyatt, “I told their mothers to tell my mate’s that I loved them then everything was dark. I woke up a few hours later in a cell on a bed with silver cuffs on…I was there for days. For days he told me nothing as to why I was there. But after a few days he came in one day really excited.” I closed my eyes as that memory began replaying in my head.

I clasped my hands tightly together and began again. “I told him I wasn’t his science experiment, to which he said I was and I was his to torture. Alex then pulled out two syringes, one had silver in it and the other wolfsbane. I tried to fight him off me, but he was stronger than I was, I barely felt the wolfsbane because…” Clara had to pause and take in a deep breath “because of the pain from the silver…it was so overwhelming.”

Brandon felt his eyes watering. “And after that?” I locked eyes with her and her bottom l*p quivered slightly. “He told me I was out for three weeks. I was in a new place, he had a silver chain wrapped around my torso. I felt sick and weak. I had no idea, or I would’ve fought them harder.” he knew she was talking about being pregnant. She always blamed herself for that, worried Bailey was affected by it, even though she was told she’s perfectly healthy.

“By them, you mean Hank?” Bra don asked his siser and she looked down. A shuddering breath left her, I could tell she was struggling to do this. I didn’t want to do this, but I had to. “Clara?”

Clara looked up, but her eyes locked with Wyatt’s. “It’s okay!” he linked her, letting her know that he wasn’t gonna shame her for anything she was going to say. “Do you need every detail?”

“Only the ones you remember!” he td her a little softer. Clara cleared her throat. “When I woke up, the first thing he did was introduce me to his son H-Hank! Alex told me that he was going to be my new mate.” Wyatt had to hold off growling, he watched the tears fill his mates beautiful green eyes as she spoke.

“After removing the silver, Alex, ripped m-my top off, then took my pants off.” she closed her eyes. “after he undressed me he left me alone with Hank, I don’t know what was going through his mind but, in mine I was repeatedly linking Noah and Wyatt telling them, I was sorry for what was about to happen. I didnt know if they could hear me or not because of the distance…but I kept trying.”

Wyatt let a tear slip from his eye he only got a jumbled link, and it was just one. He didn’t know she kept doing it over and over.

“He kissed me, and I tried to push him off of me but I was weak. But when he…” Clara looked down at her hands, her vision blurred. “when he what, Clara?” Brandon pressed, he needed everything no matter how hard it was.

She looked up at him a single tear falling and landing on her hand. “When he entered me it felt like a thousand knifes were penetrating me.” Brandon let his tears fall as she recalled her experience.

“No matter how hard I tried to push him off or screamed and cried he didn’t stop. And what’s worse is how my own body was reacting to his assault.” Clara covered her face with her hands.

Brandon’s brows bunched together in confusion. “What do you mean?” Clara lowered her hands, and Wyatt’s eyes locked with hers again, he seen the tremble in her l*p as she began speaking again. “He made me….climax.” a sob left her as she looked away from Wyatt’s gaze. “I looked it up when I came home. It’s normal when a women is being raped for their body to do that, but…but how is that normal when I felt like he was killing me?”

Brandon didn’t know to answer that. She looked so pissed off at herself, that he felt it was time to wrap things up. “A-And after?”

“Clara sighed and wiped her cheek. “Alex, came back in and asked him if he marked me. He didn’t. I guess he felt bad for how I reacted durring the act, so he lied, when he left Hank, got me to talk…finally. I explained that my mates wouldn’t want me. He was confused, but when I told him I had two mates he seemed to know who I was.”

She looked down playing with her fingers. “He offered to help me get home, me not having the strength to run away on my own took his help. Somehow I knew I’d be safe with him, he protected me from his father and the wolves in the woods as he ran in the cold night air to make sure I got home. I passed out before I made there though..”

When Brandon turned the camera off Wyatt rushed past him and pulled Clara up from the chair and into his arms.

He now understands why she won’t sleep with him and Noah. It’s got nothing to do with how she feels about them but how she feels about herself. “I’m sorry!” he heard her muffled cry.

“You have nothing to be sorry about!” he tried to soothe her but she refused to listen to him. “I do, I didn’t want to do it, Wyatt! I hate myself for it, I hate him for it.”

Brandon placed the card to the camera in his pocket, “Sunshine, come here!” he held out an arm, he watched as Wyatt released her and she ran around the table and into my embrace. “I’m proud of you, you know that?”

Clara looked up at him her eyes red and puffy. “I’m nobody to proud of, Brandon” she seen the upset expression on his face and she simply looked down and hugged him tighter.

“Pack merge is the day after Christmas..” he whispered into her ear, her head shot back up at what he said a smile on her face. “It was approved?” Brandon smiled down at her and nodded.

**********

“Bailey, look who it is… it’s grandma and grandpa.” Noah cooed as he held the little baby in his arms.

Wendy went over ready to scoop her away from him when he backed away “wash your hands first” she gave him a stern look “even Clara, isn’t that bad when I come to see her.”

“Then I need to talk to her about that.” Noah said as he still refused to hand the baby over to his mom. “Noah, I’m your mother, not a stranger.” Wendy giggled.

Noah narrowed his eyes at her then he looked at the happy baby he was holding and sighed dramticly. “Fine, but if she gets sick I know who to blame.”

Dan chuckled from the doorway. When his wife turned around with a glare he shut up quickly. “Well I feel like I haven’t seen you in ages, sweet girl…” Wendy mused the moment her son handed the baby over.

Noah went over and stood by his father as they both watched his mom sit down with his daughter. “Dr. Andrews told me what you asked him to do. Is it really that serious that we have to fake her test results?”

Dan sighed lightly “Samuel, thinks that it is. I’d rather be safe than sorry.”

Noah understood this, but why would the council care about the baby’s lineage? Are they afraid she’d become a threat in the future? “Nobody apart from her family and doctor can know about her true parentage, Noah!”

“If anyone asks, biologically she’s Wyatt’s, but she belongs to both of you by b***d” Dan told him to make his son understand the seriousness of it.

“I’ll tell Wyatt and Clara and make them understand dad. Regardless of who father’d her she would have had Alpha genes anyways…” Noah told his father, “this is her pack when she becomes of age..”

Downstairs as Wyatt walked in with Clara he held her hand tightly in his. Brandon was with them but he was a few feet behind them on the phone.

“Wyatt, I’m not going anywhere.” Clara told him as she tried to free her hand but he tightened it more and pulled her into him.

Wyatt knew that but he just wanted to feel her touch. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and leaned down kissing her cheek, he enjoyed the rosy color they made.

“Maybe you shouldn’t have wore that dress, sunshine.” Brandon chuckled from behind and Clara’s cheeks deepened in color.

She only wore the dress she had on with a simple jacket because the house Wyatt now had was just a 10 minute walk from the hospital. She didn’t want to change.

When they turned a corner to reach the elevator she wish she had changed, she felt exposed as her eyes locked with the one person she didn’t want to see today and her body tensed up. Her steps no longer moving towards the elevator anymore.

Brandon looking down at his phone didn’t notice that she’d stopped ran right into his sister. He placed his hands on her shoulders “why did you stop?” he looked up following her gaze.

She and Hank were staring at one another. And When Brandon looked over at Wyatt he knew what was coming.

The long strides the young boy was taking meant business.

Wyatt was confused when she stopped walking with him, he turned around to see if she’d dropped something but the look on her face said everything.

He turned in that direction and seen him, anger filled him. Wyatt was breathing heavy as he began making his way towards Hank.

He just stood there, he was waiting for the impact almost like he wanted it to happen. Wyatt lifted his fist and let it fly into his face.

The sounds of various gasps in the hall didn’t faze Wyatt as he lifted his fist again and hit him knocking him to the ground this time.

He went to hit him again when a hand wrapped around his. Wyatt turned his head lookikg over his shoulder to see Clara. “Stop Wyatt. You’re better than this.”

She then looked down and took a deep breath, Clara kissed Wyatt’s hand then held in hers before she let it go and went to lean down.

Hank who had his eyes closed holding his broken nose was just laying there. He was waiting for the day someone, anyone would bleat him for the mistakes he made.

Hell sometimes he wish for death, but his wolf knew that they had a mate out there so he helped him through it everyday.

He jumped cautiously when I hand touched his arm. When he opened his eyes he was shocked to replace the last person that wanted to be near him.

She offered him a hand, he looked up at her mate who still held fury in his eyes but didn’t say a word to object. When he took Clara’s hand he realized that it was shaking, that must have it took alot for her to offer her help to him.

When they stood up he looked away, “thank you, Clara.”

Wyatt couldn’t help the growl that reverberated out of his chest, he pulled Clara into it and she smacked his hands away. “Wyatt, stop it.” she told him quietly.

Wyatt’s narrowed eyes didn’t falter. “No, he hurt you, I wont stop it.” He told her coldly.

Clara closed her eyes and asked her wolf for a little help, she let Clary have control for a moment.

When her eyes opened she knew they weren’t her eye color, Noah explained to her that when Clary takes over it’s her wolf’s eyes, she would be the only werewolf in history with that trait.

Wyatt felt her aura change and he released her. “Sorry Clary. After what I heard today, you can’t expect me not to feel that way about him!”

Clary looked at Hank, he seemed terrified of her. He really shouldn’t be not unless he gave her a reason to actually want to kill him. “It’s your father that should terrify me, not you. And you..” she turned around

“unless my human tells you that she needs help when it comes to her enemies. Don’t do that again. She just didn’t expect to see him after what she said today, it was a shock to the system.”

“He raped her, Clary. You werent there, you heard what she said. She said it felt like he was killing her. And what would have happened if he actually marked you both huh? It probably would have..” Wyatt whispered harshly, but both Hank and Brandon being so close heard him clearly.

Hank closed his eyes, he took a deep breath and turned around to leave, so that he could have his broken nose set.

Clary retreated when Clara asked for control back. “I can heal that!” she told him but her eyes never left Wyatt. Clara heard his steps stop and turn. She leaned up and kissed Wyatt quickly. “I have to touch his face, Wyatt.”

Wyatt nodded and kissed her again and she turned around. “It’s new, Samuel has the same power and he’s been showing me how to use it.”

He relucatly walked over and stood close but not close enough to piss her mate off. He noticed the deep breath she took as she walked up to him. “I don’t know if it will hurt or not.”

Hank nodded “if it does, I deserve it. Plus a thousand other things..” Clara shook her head “don’t say that.. I’ve met wolves that have done things, and continue to do them with no remorse.”

Clara went to place her hands on his cheeks but stopped when his breath hit her face. She closed her eyes, and took another deep breath then placed them on his face. Her hands warmed under his skin and her green eyes turned white.

Clara then spoke only two words and his face was as good as new. “sana eum” Hank’s face contorted in slight discomfort but it faded shortly after. His hands went to his face immediately, but when they brushed against hers she pulled hers away out of instinct.

A growl was heard further down the hall making Clara turn around to see who it was. She seen Stacey standing there.

But what surprised her was she wasn’t looking at her she was looking at Hank.

“Keep your slutty hands off of my mate!” Stacey growled.
