New Beginnings

Chapter Eight

"Mom, your going to have to tell him sometime" Liam whispers in my ear making sure no one other than me can hear.

We were on our way but to Layton's territory he drove a car here and instead running in their wolf form.

'I know that but I don't want to'

"What if they come back? They did tell you that before they disappeared that night"

'Liam, I know this I'll tell Layton once I see signs of them returning okay?'

Liam shakes his head "it'll be to late by then we both know that"

'I'm done talking about it alright'

"Fine, at least can we talk to Xavier?"

'You can but I will not I still haven't forgave him from last time I talked to him'

"Mom, what happened to your selling me forgive and forget?"Liam says raising a brow yeah I'm pretty sure Mason taught him to do.

'Something easier to forget and others are lot harder.'

Liam sighed but didn't say anything else about Xavier.

Xavier was an old family friend up until the accident he left me and Mason on our own I haven't talked to him since.

Who could blame you for holding a grudge against him for what he did to us just leaving and not helping us out.

*^*^*^

After we got back Layton told Jackson to keep Liam and I in my room. I wasn't allowed to leave the room for any purpose. We got home late so Liam had already fallen asleep. I laid Liam on the bed and took his shoes off and covered him with a blanket.

I thought back to when I first picked him up. Liam had shifted. It was rare for people this young to shift other than that people shift any time we mostly shift thirteen to eighteen.

I couldn't sleep again and this time it was because I didn't have Liam with me. I also couldn't find the shirt Layton gave me the other night. Opening my door I could see that my guards were gone for the night. Sweet, sweet freedom.

This time I remembered were I was going so I didn't have to open all the doors I walked by and I wouldn't have to wake Layton. When I get to the kitcen it wasn't empty like last time I was down here.

A guy with dark brown hair and dark eyes stood in the middle of the kitcen. Hoping that he was leaving I continue to walk towards the fridge. When the guy spoke

"Look who he have here Layton's new play thing"

It made me sick to think with Layton to be with other women. I my face blank of emotions.

He stepped forward grabbing my arm roughly leaving bruises no doubt. I don't cry I won't allow him to see my pain.

"Acting tough bitch?" He hisses as he punch me in the face I bite tongue in order to keep from crying out in pain.

Curling my hand into a fist I punch him in the face. With a sickening crunch he lets go of me and grab his nose blood pours from it I can clearly see that it's broken.

I tried to stop myself from shaking. I could probably fight him off but he's pack of Layton's pack. I had no clue how Layton trained his pack. Mason taught his pack differently from other Alpha's.

The guy narrowed his dark eyes at me as I looked at the door. I would never make it before he caught me.

I'll help my Wolf whispers

No, you'll kill him all I have to do is fight him off. So we can pass. I tell her.

I took a small step towards the door. I needed Liam he would keep me calm before I killed one of Layton's pack members. I bolted for the door but he grabbed me before I could get far.

"Playing tough and then running away." He taunted me. "Haven't seen Layton with a play toy in almost two months. But I don't think he'll mind sharing you."

He jerked me towards the door on the other side of the kitcen. I struggled to get out of his hold. Finally I lost trying to be calm kneeing him where the sun don't shine. I punched him three times once more in the face and twice in the stomach.

He recovers quickly and comes after me. He punches me in the face again and in the stomach. This time I couldn't hind my cries of pain.

I don't think I could fight him off anymore. So I did the only thing I could. I screamed he quickly covered my mouth with his hand and punch me in the gut. I bit down of his hand hard enough to draw blood. I couldn't do this without my Wolf anymore so I called for her

When he grabbed me again. I put my hands on his chest and shoved him hard. He flew down the hall he were in and it the wall the forced shook the house.

That's when I heard a new pair of footsteps. I saw Layton first.

I flung myself at him who immediately stiffened as my body collided with his. I warped my arms around him and sister and her hands bury my face into his shirt I tried my hardest not to cry in front of him.

My body lit up with electricity and warmth exploded in my chest rolling through me in waves. I was trying to control my heavy breathing, he cried loudly and the girl vibrated through me making me shiver.

I love the way Layton feels against me. It occurred to me this is the first time I have ever touched him other than the time he claimed me.

"Scarlett," he said and another sugar ran down my spine from the way my name from his lips. He was behind me and pride my hands from his shirt.

"Let go," he told me lowly.
