《Alpha Heron》Chapter 17

Lily
I woke up in a familiar room. Heron's room. But what was I doing here and then I remembered Heron and me at the lake. Damn that son of a wolf, I'm killing him. I'm surprised that I have some clothes on. Maybe they are Nets's.
"Finally you're awake." Heron said coming out from the bathroom that was connected to the room.
"Why, you were hoping I wouldn't?" I glared at him.
"I was. I guess we don't always get what we're hoping for." he went to his closet do get dressed, that's when I noticed that he only had a towel on his hips. Guessing by his wet hair, he had a shower.
"So..."
"So what?"
"Don't act like nothing happened." now he really is getting on my nerves.
"What do you mean?" I stared at him in disbelief. Is he being serious right now.
"Aren't you going to explain yourself?"
"Explain myself for what?" he still acted like nothing happened.
"Why did you brought me here?" I said. Trying not to lose my temper.
"You belong here." he said without turning to look at me.
"No I don't."
"We are not going over this again like children," he said this time looked at me. "You belong here and that's finally."
"You don't get to decide where I belong. I do that and I know I don't belong here." I said. I was angry as hell that he brought me here without my permission but I'm not going to show it to him.
"And where do you think you belong?" he said, clearly angry. That question really caught me off guard. Where I belong? I don't even know that for myself. "With that beta of your pack? Or with that manwhore Alpha?"
"Don't speak of them like that." how dare he speak of them like that.
"Why isn't it true? First the alpha flirted with you know his dating Satan. And let's not talk about how many girls he had—"
"Stop!" I'm going to kill him. "If he is a manwhore than so are you. You are no better Heron. At least he wasn't stupid enough to get raped by a girl like you." that was so low even for me. I shouldn't have said that. But I have pride just like him. His eyes showed how hurt he was feeling. That made want to apologize. I was about to but his eyes shifted to angry.
"Get out!" his eyes were turning black. I haven't moved from my spot. "Get out! I don't want to see your fucking face anymore." As much that hurt I didn't show it. Instead I lifted my chin and said.
"With pleasure." I left making sure I slammed the door hard.
Nets and James were standing at the door downstairs. She put her head down trying to hide her tears, James had his arms around as a comfort. His face emotionless but I could see his jaw clenching.
"You know I believed you'd be the one who will stay be his side no matter what. The one he will rule, protect and help this pack together. I thought you were the one." James said. His face showed no emotion but I could see his with full of them.

"So did I." with that I left. I didn't realise what I said until I was outside. Did I really meant what I said? A part of me meant it and wanted to go back. But the other part was to prideful to do that.
Heron knew my friends were my weakness but he still used against me. How could he say those things about Dean? I mean, yeah Dean was no saint but still Heron shouldn't have said that. 'You also said something bad to him' well guess who decided to grace us with her presence. I couldn't allow him to talk about them like that. 'You could have handled it other way. Like a normal person. Not say something cruel like that'. You are right.
I stepped behind, stripped from Nets clothes or whoever's they were and shifted. It was night time. I left my house at day time. Liz is worried sick. I should probably run faster. And that's what I did. Since my parents house was close to the border, I needed only thirty minutes to get there or less. I ran but suddenly I was pushed by another wolf to one other dress. My back hurt from the impact but I pulled myself up and started at the three wolves. By the smell I guessed they were rouges. Rouges! No! Fuck!
They didn't wait a second. One of them attacked. His jaw aiming for my throat. A wolf's weakest point. But I have to thank Dean for two weeks of training otherwise I'd be gone now. Before he could get to my throat. I pushed my paw up and scratched him across the face. He whined in pain. I probably had touched his eye too. To focused on him I didn't see other wolf come. But unlike this one, he bite my leg instead of my throat. That made me hollow in pain. My howl was so loud I'm sure everyone in Antena heard it.
I didn't try to get my leg out his grasp. That would have made it worse. I kicked him with other leg it wasn't good. But still it was enough for him to tear his teeth of my leg. The scratch face was up looking at me with murderous eyes, so were the other two. Three against one wasn't good, especially with my wounded leg. But I pushed my shoulder back and didn't cower from them. I'm a wolf there is no way I'm going down cowardly. They growled, I growled back. They were ready to jump when three other wolves came infront of me. James, Alin and... Heron. Seeing Heron the rouges started backing up but tonight wasn't their lucky night. I watched as Heron, James and Alin ended those rouges expect for one. They needed him for answers, but I sure once they got their answers they would kill him.
James and Alin shifted back to their human form and forced the rouge to do the same. They exchanged words with Heron through mindlink, took the rouge and were gone. Heron on the other hand started walking through the border that separated our packs. I guess he is making sure I'm save. Even after the words I said to him. I followed behind him trying my hardest to keep up with him because of my wounded leg.

The guilt was killing me. I shouldn't have said those words. I didn't mean to. But what made me feel more guilty was that they had come to save me. James and Alin had come knowing I wouldn't be their Luna. Heron had come. He shouldn't have come and he shouldn't be here making sure I make it home safe.
Maybe this whole time I have been the one who was wrong. He was right I was the Luna of his pack, his mate. But I had failed them. I didn't realise we were already at the border. Heron stopped because he couldn't cross the border. But he did it once for me. I hung my head low and left. I turned to look and Heron was still there in his wolf from.
I howled at him. An apology. But he turned and left. I watched as his wolf disappeared into the woods. And for once in two weeks I let my tears slide. 'I'm sorry' I said to none.
"Lily is that you." said one of the wolves who watched the border.
"Beck. Please get me to my house." I said and shifted. He shifted and took me in his arms in bridal style. He ran so fast that I didn't realise when had we arrived at my house so quick. He banged the door hard. Liz opened it. She saw and said "Put her in the sofa. Dean call Robert."
Beck put on the sofa, while Liz went upstairs. She was back with a blanket. She covered me with it and held my hand. I tried to keep my eyes open but I was too tired.
"Liz..."
"No, no. Keep them still open. You don't get to leave me like this." I saw tears gathering in her eyes.
"Liz I'm fucking tired, I'm not going to die. You stupid bitch. You can't get rid of me that easily." I said and laughed.
"I know! But seeing you like this is weird and it's the first time. I have right to be worried." aww, that's why I love her she may act like a tough bitch but she actually is a softie.
"Elizabeth Adwell you are being a softie. Well now I can die in peace." I said and pretend to close my eyes.
"Open your eyes or I'm going to put candles matches in them like Tom from the Tom and Jerry show." I laughed this girl is crazy.
"Hey Lily." said Robert, he was already here. "Which one?" I showed him my bad leg and he did his work. After a while he was done. "Well my work is done. By the morning you will be as good as you were. You all healed." No my heart isn't. But of course I didn't say that out loud.
"Thank you Rob." I said.
"It's nothing dear. Just try next time to stay out of trouble." with that he left.
"So..." Dean said.
"So... What?" I said but he glared at me. "I'm to tired to breathe I'm not talking tonight and tomorrow I'm not training. Now can one of you help get to my room."
"You heard her. Out!" Liz said. I saw Dean leave and then Beck. Beck!
"Beck!" I yelled after him.
"Yes." he said. Turning to look at me.
"Thank you." he smiled, nodded and left. Liz helped me get to my parents room since Liz sleeps at me room, I sleep at me parents. She brought me my pyjamas and underwear.
"Do you need help to shower?"
"No thanks Liz. I'm fine."
"Okay then shower and have a good night. I'll go and crash." with a kiss in my forehead she left.
After I showered and got dressed. I sat on my bed or my parents bed. I took my phone from the night stand where I had left it before I had gone for a run and saw that it didn't have battery. Where is my charger now?
"Liz!" I called her.
"What is it?" she said, coming to my room.
"Do you know where my charger is?"
"It's downstairs."
"Will you go get it for me."
"Okay." she said and left. She returned later with my charger in hand and something else. A letter. My parents letter. "I saw this and it had your name written. I've seen this for a while. Since you haven't read it I'm guessing it's from your parents."
"It is." I say. I'm not going to read that stupid letter. "Just leave it there."
"Whatever you want." well she didn't push it. I'm surprised about that and the fact that she hasn't read it herself. She is a curious person and respecting others privacy isn't really her thing. I mean she isn't like Joe Goldberg not on that level. But still she is a noisy person.
"Aren't you curious?" she asks. And here she goes again.
"No Liz I'm not curious. Now go to sleep."
"But what if there is a secret. Like you've been adopted. Or or you have powers." she said sounding excited. I rolled my eyes.
"Go to sleep Liz. I'm sure as hell that none of what you said are written in the letter."
"Fine." she said. "Your choice. But if was you I would have read it."
"Liz, go. I'm not reading it anytime soon." she saw that I wasn't going to read it and left annoyed.
I plugged my phone and went to bed. I wanted to sleep but my mind kept going to the letter. No Lily. No. I'm not going to read it. I'm not going to read it. Damn Liz. I got up and went to get it. I opened the letter and it's clearly my mom's handwriting. I took a deep breath and started reading it.
