Wait! Werewolves Exist?
Chapter 60

PETER.

With a heavy heart, I shut the car door. We knew the real reason that we were being lured out of town, but if we didn’t go, then it would put Amber in danger, maybe Molly too. I hated that Ellie and Becky were at risk. Whether we survived the day would all depend on how many wolves were sent to deal with us. I hoped that the Stones underestimated us. People usually did as they all thought that I was a b***d omega. Only Ellie and the Rivers knew the truth about my b***d rank. Not even my kids knew. I had always run by myself or with Ellie so that no one would see my wolf and question his size.

I came to Lakeside with Jack Rivers. He was my best friend growing up. He had been a second born Alpha, and I was a second born beta. When we moved here and he became Alpha, he offered me the beta position beside him. I had turned it down. Lakeside already had a beta, and besides I’d never really been interested in that side of things. All I’d ever wanted was to cook and have a family. Jack had helped me get the restaurant started and been so happy for me when I’d met Ellie. We celebrated the births of our children together. I still missed my friend even now.

I looked at my wife and sat in the passenger seat. I had gotten so lucky with her. I still didn’t know what I’d done to deserve this woman. She could have had a cushy life as the beta female instead of running herself ragged in the restaurant with me. Yet not once did she complain about me turning the position down. Maybe if I hadn’t Jack and Daisy would still be alive, Amber wouldn’t have gone through everything that she has, my son wouldn’t be missing and I wouldn’t be about to drive my wife and daughter into almost certain death.

Ellie reached across and squeezed my hand, giving me a small smile. “I love you.” She said quietly, and a tear escaped my eye. She wiped it from my cheek and said that we should go. “Can’t we replace a way to leave Becky here?” I asked desperately. “We can say that she stayed to be there for Amber.” I pleaded. Before Ellie could even answer, Becky began objecting from the back seat “I’m not staying behind. Why would I want to live if it meant losing both of you and Adam? Besides, three of us will be better in a fight than two, and I plan to go down fighting.” She said stubbornly. I knew there was no changing her mind. I was so proud of my brave little girl.

I looked at Ellie and said “Make the call.” She nodded, picked up her phone, and began dialling. I started the car, and we headed to our fate. Ellie spoke on the phone for several minutes and hung up just before we reached the guard barrier. She gave me a nod, and I smirked a little. At least if today was our last day, we had made sure that we wouldn’t be the only ones to suffer. Sam came out and raised the barrier. He leant down and stuck his head in the passenger side window, giving Ellie a hug. “I’m so glad that Adam has been found. Bring him home safe to us.” He said sincerely. Sam and Adam had been good friends since they were pups. It was Sam that had got Adam to join warrior training . Ellie couldn’t speak. She was trying to hold back tears. “That’s the plan.” I managed to force my voice to sound mostly steady. He waved us off as we drove away. Ellie’s tears were flowing now. There was no need to pretend any longer.

DAVID STONE.

I was waiting on the stretch of empty road outside of town. I was far enough away that not even Sam would hear or see anything, but not so far that there would be a risk of an outsider witnessing anything or passing by. I was actually starting to feel a touch of excitement at letting Clyde, my wolf loose. He hadn’t got to have this kind of fun in so long. I was glad that Peter was just an Omega, though. Clyde had never quite been the same since I shot Jack and Daisy. Betraying his Alpha and Luna weakened him. I still felt pretty confident that he could handle some pathetic omega, though. He was just a chef, after all. I chuckled. As for the other two, they were just a couple of bitches, nothing to worry about. Jason had still sent one of the warriors with me though just in case.

I saw the dark grey family car slowly coming down the road and gave Bradley, who was in the trees across the road the nod. He shifted and stepped out into the road. I was waiting for Peter to stop and replace out what was going on, and then I would approach from behind and attack. He had no reason to suspect anything, so I didn’t even for a second expect what happened next.

Bradley’s mottled brown wolf stood confidently in the centre of the road. Instead of stopping, however, Peter sped up and ploughed straight into him. There was a b***d curdling howl as he went under the wheels, and I heard the crunch of his bones. At some point, it had caused him to shift into human form, and Bradley lay naked, bloody, and broken in the road. He was whimpering like a wounded animal. Peter screeched to a halt, got out, and snapped his neck with his bare hands. I was frozen in shock. What the f**k!!! That wasn’t supposed to f*****g happen!!!!
