The Alpha's Ballerina - Discontinued

Chapter 14

"Mommy! Mommy! Can we get ice cweam please?" A little girl no older than 5 years old screeches happily from her carseat. Her parents laugh.

"Sure, Sweetie. What do you want?" The girl's Mom asks, and the little girl bounces in her seat. She thinking for a second then gasps.

"Birthday cake, Mommy!" She exclaims as she clutches the small white wolf stuffed animal. 

"Now, Honey, you need to eat all your chicken nuggets first okay?" The girl's Dad says from the passenger seat. She huffs but mumbles an 'Okay'. The three of them pull up to a drive-through ice cream place. The mom says their order then they proceed to get the ice cream. 

The mom starts to pull out of the driveway and into the street. But it all happens so fast.; the honking of the horn from their car, the shout of the Dad, the impact of the SUV against a large tractor-trailer, the car flipping. 

The little girl screams and grips her wolf as she's thrown around, but luckily she's still in her car seat. Her ice cream cone flies in the air. Glass can be heard shattering as well as the sound of metal being contorted in ways that shouldn't usually happen. The entire car is upside down and the little girl has tears streaming down her face and she's screaming at the top of her lungs.

"Mommy! Daddy! Help me! Help! It hurts!" She cries into the atmosphere. However, she gets no response. Her mother's head is bent at an awkward angle and her dad's as well. Sirens are blaring in the background, but all can be heard are her cries.

I shoot up from the bed and snap my eyes open. I immediately take in my surroundings and sigh when I realize it's still dark outside and I'm in the familiar room that smells like pine and aftershave. My chest moves rapidly up and down. The long white tee shirt is now clinging to my body and my hair is matted to my forehead from sweat. I blink my eyes as I try to rid myself of that dream. Technically, it wasn't a dream though. That was just me reliving past events. 

I take deep breaths and I feel my eyes start to pool with tears. I haven't had nightmares like that in so long. I feel the bed shift, and I know he's going to ask me questions, but I really don't want to talk about it.

"Baby doll, what's wrong? Are you okay? What happened?" Will's soothingly raspy sleepy voice fills the room. I shake my head as I sob into my hands.

"I-It was so real. It was a-almost like it was h-happening all over again!" I exclaim as he grabs my waist and pulls me onto his lap so that I'm straddling him. His eyes are still clouded with sleep and his hair is a messy mop on his head. I instantly feel bad for waking him up.

"Shh, shh. You're okay. I'm here, it's okay. Baby doll, breath. It's alright." He says softly to me as he wipes away my tears and rubs my back. The tingles and the warmth he's providing me with gives me a sense of security and I instantly feel safe. Soon my sobs turn into hiccups and my head is resting on Will's muscled shoulder.

"Baby, let's go back to sleep. We can talk about it tomorrow if you would like since we already have things to talk about." He tells me and I nod. He flips us so that he's spooning me and I let out a squeal of surprise. However, my body is still tense because I don't want to fall asleep and have that replay itself again. I feel Will's hands caress my thighs and it relaxes me slightly.

"Go to sleep, babydoll." He whispers softly in my ear and eventually I find myself dozing off to the sound of his even breathing.

*Will's POV*

I hear her breathing in rhythms and I know she's asleep. I sigh as I grip her tighter. There are so many things I need to talk about with her brothers later today. I need to know if she has any other medical conditions or disorders, and I want to know if this nightmare was a one-time thing or if it's happened before. 

She doesn't deserve any of this, honestly. Lily is such a beautiful person inside and out, and it severely angers me to think about how much pain she could have went through or still does go through. 

Everyone in the werewolf world knows what happened that day of the car accident. It's famous because a man who is rumored to be the 'King of Rouges' ordered for his followers to kill Lily's family. He wanted them dead because Lily's parents, the Alpha and Luna, were the leaders of the most powerful pack in centuries, the White Rose Pack, and he wanted their money and land for himself. So, once Lily's parents died, the pack completely fell apart. I think I was only 13 or 14 when it happened, but my Dad, the King at the time, tried his best to help out Lily's brothers get the pack back in order. However, Hunter was around 8 years old and her other two brothers were 5. My Dad sent them to a neighboring pack and agreed with that Alpha to let them live there. A woman who couldn't have kids, I learned, took them in until Hunter turned 18. From there Hunter was the legal guardian for Lily, Justin, and Dylan.

It's a shame, really. I wish I could take away her pain. I would rather jump into a pool of razors then watch my precious little mate be in so much agony at her past. I couldn't even imagine how difficult it must be for her, and my heart swells in adoration at the realization of just how strong my little baby doll is.

'She's perfect, Will. She's absolutely perfect. Like an angel.' Ryder purrs in my head and I nod.

'She's one hell of a fighter, ain't she? Goddess we don't deserve her.' I respond and I can feel him nod.

I sigh as I grip her sleeping form closer to my chest. She moans slightly in the sleep and that's all it takes for me to get hard. I quickly shake it off when I think about how distressed she was and now she's trying to sleep, but I'm being weird. I shake my head and close my eyes, and soon sleep takes over me.
