Alone H.S.

Chapter 33: Home Now

Harry -

My instinct is to pull away, bite, claw, shift, anything but let whatever this is kill me before I can kill it.

I turn to look at whoever this is I'm about to kill when I see the familiar blue eyes of my Beta. And I rethink my plan to kill this guy.

Louis pulls me away from Shiloh, who is still glaring at me with a fiery hate and her hand still clutching her face.

"Let me go!" I shout, struggling against Louis as he holds me back. I can't let Shiloh get away, she'll bring back more wolves and it'll only take one to kill Lily, Dylan, Eleanor, or anyone else in the pack. I can't allow that to happen.

"Harry, you can't do it this way." Louis growls, still keeping me held back.

"Why not?" I growl back, my eyes never leaving Shiloh. She'll run and when she does, I'll have to catch her.

"Harry...leave it!" Louis growls loudly and yanks my arms further back, causing my left shoulder to make a loud pop.

"You'll be sorry. Oh, how you'll be sorry." Shiloh growls as she shifts and takes off running.

"No! Louis, let go! Now!" I scream and shout, pulling and yanking against Louis's arms, but it's no good. He's not letting me go.

Slowly, and I do mean slowly, I stop fighting him. I'll never catch Shiloh now anyway. He hesitantly let's my arms go, and pain shoots up through my left arm and shoulder.

"Uh huh, you popped it out of joint, didn't you?" Louis sassily asks, taking my arm in his hands and feeling around my shoulder blade.

"Why didn't you let me go?" Is all I can even think to say.

"You can't kill a woman that way, Harry. It's not the respectable-"

"I don't fucking care. She's only going to come back, you know." I growl and then it happens.

I let out a loud yelp and then a whine as my left shoulder is suddenly jerked and it pops loudly, causing my whole arm to feel it's being ripped off. Louis standing next to me, smirking.

"Next time, don't fight me so hard, yeah?"

"If there's a next time, Tomlinson...you're dead." I tell him as I push past him to head back home. I am not putting up with him right now.

I start walking home and look behind me to see louis following closely behind.

Shiloh's escaped, and is sure to come back with nothing but the intent of killing my family. The counsel will still call me a failure. I'm never home enough for Lily. My son has no friends. I'm a horrible father, and I've got a second kid on the way. I'm not capable of running this pack. I'm not deserving of anything I've got.

I'm not even aware of the angry tears running down my face until I have to sniffle just to be able to keep breathing.

"Harry?" I don't even turn to see Louis's concerned face that I know he had right now.

"I'm such a failure!" I suddenly shout, unable to keep it in anymore.

"What? Harry, you're not a failure. Where's this coming from?" Louis asks, confused. His hand resting on my shoulder gripping lightly until I let out a painful wince when he's gripping too hard.

"Everyone."

"That's bullshit. You're our Alpha-"

"Louis...no one cares. How many times have I heard 'your father was so much better than you'? More than enough, and you know it." I turn and start walking away again.

"You never cared what they thought." Louis says quietly from behind as he follows me. I stop and turn around to face him.

"Yeah. And I didn't have a mate then. I didn't have another kid on the way. I didn't care because I didn't feel like I had someone to prove anything to, except Dylan. And-" I'm cut off by Louis.

"So you're scared that now-"

"Lily will leave." Louis eyes widen and he laughs while shaking his head.

"Harry, Lily won't leave you just because some stupid wolves think you're an idiot. She loves you. You two have a bond stronger than most, that much I can tell." I wish I could believe him. And my wolf tells me to, but I can't.

Before I can even think to say something back at my Beta, Lily's voice fills my mind.

"Come home. Now." Mind-link.

I push past Louis and race to the house, worry pushing me to run faster. Why would Lily need me home now? Is something wrong?

I don't think as I run into the house, running so fast I end up crashing into the wall in the kitchen. Wolf forms are much better for running, that's for sure.

"Harry?" Lily asks and I spin around to find myself face to face with my mate. Who looks very amused.

"What's wrong?" She asks, concern suddenly lacing her words.

"You said you wanted me home now. I thought maybe...I thought something was wrong." I do feel kind of silly right now, because nothing seems to be wrong at all.

"Oh I'm sorry! I didn't mean to worry you. But I...its nothing, I'm sorry." Her face gets red with embarrassment and I hate that I've made her feel this way. I am even feel her embarrassment through our bond.

"Hey, come here." I wrap my arms around her and hold her close.

"Now please will you tell me what you wanted to earlier?" I ask, still curious.

"I just wanted you home. I had this weird feeling you were going to get hurt."
