Leave Me Alpha [#6]

Holden’s p.o.v

I fucked up.

I fucked up bad.

I thought that if I put them both in my house, and lock all the doors, nobody will notice.

I was scared that if I was later to the field, Asher will be angry. I am the Beta, of this pack, and if I’m late, it doesn’t set a good example.

Another punch. I fall to the floor, not expecting that. I was to busy thinking.

“Asher, stop it. You’ll kill him” Vincent shouts, pulling him back.

“That’s the point. I’m going to kill him” Asher growls, pushing Vincent away, and kicking me.

“Asher stop it” Vincent pulls him back.

“Why! Your mate is safe! She’s back” Asher growls running a hand through his hair. He’s fustrated.

It was true. When we reached my house, Layla wasn’t there. But Hailey was. She was locked in the guest room, bathroom.

Vincent had opened the door, pulling her close. There was not even a single scratch on her.

“Don’t bring Bella into this” Vincent growls, as I stand up.

“It’s okay Vincent” Hailey walks towards him, standing in front of him, and looks at Asher, who’s glaring at me.

“Asher, instead of killing him, let’s find her. Does anyone know who will take Layla?” Vincent and Asher both freeze.

“Well?” Hailey raises her eyebrow.

This is all my fault. If only I listened. Layla would still be with me, she would be sitting on the sofa, and we would be watching TV.

“I know” they both say.

“They take everyone away from me.” Asher mumbles, and I know who he is talking about.

The rouges. The Shining Moonlight. The pack of rouges, that come everytime, Asher is happy.

His real parents, his sister, the luna and alpha, and now Layla. He was happy with Layla. I know it. I could see it.

He feels upset. Blaming his self.

“Who?” Hailey asks and Asher runs his hand through his hair.

“The Shining Moonlight. A pack of rouges” I say looking at Asher.

This is his fault. He knows it. If he stayed away from her, none of this would happen. None of this would have happened to Layla.

“What?” Vincent asks confused

“A pack or rouges. They kill everyone Asher is happy with. His parents, his si-” Asher growls, warning me to not say it.

This is about Layla. They need to know.

“His sister, the luna and alpha. And now Layl-” he shifts into his wolf. It’s huge. All black, with a big white Lightening tattoo on his body. He runs towards me, but Vincent stands in front of him.

“Don’t do it Asher. We need to find tiger. We need to find your sweetheart” he says and Asher nods.

His sweetheart? I don’t like it. She’s mine. She’s my mate!

He shifts back, fully clothed and looks at Hailey.

“Did you hear anything they said. Anything at all” she nods

“I heard that Jason will be very happy to see here. That it’s a win- win, both ways. I di-” Vincent freezes and turns to Hailey.

“What did you say? Jason?” He asks and she nods

“Fuck this! Fuck!” He turns around and punches me.

“This is all your fault. Couldn’t you fucking listen for once!” He growls, and Hailey pulls him back.

“I need to call grandma and dad. We need to get tiger, now. Now” he whispers holding Hailey’s hand asks and running out of the room.

“Wait!” Asher shout and they turn around.

“Who’s Jason?” He asks

“A guy we need tiger to stay away from. Or else, she’ll die” Vincent mumbles and Asher’s eyes grow wide.

“Call them now. Here. I’ve sent trackers looking for here. We need Emily to come. Now” Asher says and and Vincent nods.

His eyes glazed for a couple of minutes.

“They’re both on there way. They’ll be here in a couple of minutes” Asher nods.

They both have powers. All Tyler has to do, is close his eyes, and think of Asher’s pack. And he’ll be here. That’s a good thing though. But he can only think of places, not people.

“Vincent!” I hear Emily’s voice, before they both appear in front of us. That was fast.

“Where is Layla. Please don’t tell me th-” Vincent nods, and Emily slaps him.

“You promised. You promised her that you would protect her.” Vincent lowers his head slowly, as Emily shouts at him.

“Emily, calm down” Tyler says and she shakes her head.

“You guys don’t understand. She’ll die there. If she sees him, she’ll die. We need to get her.” Emily shouts at Tyler.

I’m lost.

“Asher, listen to me. I know you’re her mate, and she needs you. I know what’s wrong with you. It’s not your fault. It’s not. Okay?” She walks towards Asher.

Mate? What?

She’s about to touch Asher but he steps back.

“Don’t. They might come for you as well” he knows. He knows what they are capable of.

No one has seen them, ever. Everytime they come, it’s just rouges who attack us, and then the person they are here, for, disappears. We always know its them. Because they always have something to do with Asher.

“I want that. I want them to get me” she says and he looks down at her.

“Emily, they’ll come for you.” She rolls her eyes, laughing.

“There’s someone in your pack, Asher. Someone who’s watching us right now. They have cameras in most of the room. But they can’t hear us” She’s still laughing, even though Asher is frowning.

“Smile. I need them to come soon. Hopefully today” he smiles slightly.

“How do you know this?” She laughs

“I know everything Asher, okay not everything. I had a feeling something bad was going to happen. I knew it something to do with Layla. Because everyone else’s problems are gone. Dead. It’s just Layla’s problem. We don’t know who it is. We don’t know what he looks like” I’m confused

“What do you mean?” He’s still smiling at her.

“Laugh a little”

“I don’t laugh” he chuckles slightly. But it’s not a friendly chuckle. It’s like he wants to kill someone.

“I promise you Asher, Layla will be back. She’ll return. I’ve helped her get through the first time. She knows what’s going to happen to her.” He nods

“She’s my mate” I say and Emily looks at me.

“Holden, is it?” I nod

“Layla likes you.” She smiles and Asher runs a hand through his hair.

“But she doesn’t” Hailey say walking forward.

“What are you talking about?” Emily asks, looking at her.

“She doesn’t love Holden. She likes him because he doesn’t come with a problem. She knows Asher has baggage, and she can’t handle it. She’s scared of something” Emily narrows her eyes at Hailey, crossing her arms.

“Don’t tell me you’ve said this to her. Because if you have, I swear to god I will slap you so hard, Hailey. I don’t care that you’re related to me” Fuck.

Hailey steps back, and looks at Vincent.

“Grandma she doesn’t know anything about her. Sh-”

“Tell me Vincent! Did she say it!” Emily shouts and Hailey nods.

“And what happened?” Emily asks calmly

They both stay silent.

“Vincent you know! You know what’s wrong with her! So why! Why would you let her say it! Hailey could have died!” Emily shouts

“I tried grandma. But Bella wouldn’t listen”

“I swear to god, Hailey I won’t forgive you if anything happens to her.” Emily mumbles turning to Asher.

“Laugh. Smile” she orders.

He’s confused. But he still smiles, and chuckles.

“Can you hear them?” Emily asks as Asher freezes.

“They’re here. On the east side. They’ve shot our guards with wolfbane.” She nods

“Tyler, tell Alec, I’ll be okay. I’ve taken the drink. He won’t feel anything” she smiles at him.

“Emily I ca-”

“I’ll freeze all of you if you follow me. I need to get Layla. None of you understand” she runs out of the house, heading towards the east side of the forest.

“I’m so going to die.” Hailey mumbles.
