My Alpha

Chapter Eight

The door bursts open and in walks Liam, followed by Hudson and Keith.

"Esme!" he says relieved when he sees me, but still worried.

I lean toward, still crying.

Liam runs over to me, kneels and breaks the rope, then pulls me into his arms. I flinch away, not from pain, but I just do.

"Are you hurt baby?" he asks putting his hands on my cheeks.

I don't say anything, I don't know what to say. He pulls my chin up and tries to make me look him in the eyes, but I can't.

"Baby look at me," he says softly.

I close my eyes and put my head down, "I-I can't."

"Leave," Liam says to Hudson and Keith and they do.

"Esme baby, talk to me, what happened? Why were you tied up?" he says rubbing my back.

I try to tell him, but all that comes out is sobs.

Liam tenses, "Why do I smell two different men's scents Esme?"

"I-I'm s-so s-sorry," I sob into his chest.

"Did they touch you?" Liam says intensely.

I sob more and shake my head. I can't tell him.

"Esme, don't lie to me. I need to hear it from you," he tenses.

I sigh and take a deep breath, "They raped me Liam."

Liam freezes with anger and hurt. I have let him down, this is were he is going to reject me.

Liam stands up and runs his fingers through his hair, then begins to pace.

I'm sitting here waiting for him to lash out, I'm to afraid to even breath.

Suddenly Liam punches the wall, leaving a hole in the wall, causing me to flinch.

"I'll find them Esme. I'll kill them myself," he says grabbing my hand, now calm.

I nod my head and get up.

Liam wraps his arm around my waist protectively as we walk back to the pack house. The whole walk back, I'm to scared to talk, afraid that he is going to leave and reject me.

"Oh good, your ba-" Layla chirps as we walk into the pack house.

I look at my feet, not wanting to talk or look at anyone.

"Not now," Liam snaps and leads me up the stairs to the room.

He shuts the door behind us and locks it.

I sit on the edge of the bed, hugging myself, looking at the floor.

Liam sighs and stands next to me.

"Esme, are you okay?"

I nod my head, unable to find the words.

He sits besides me and puts his hand on my back causing me to flinch under his touch.

"I'm sorry," Liam whispers taking his hand away.

"Don't apologize," I whisper, holding back tears.

"What do you mean?" he asks confused.

"I-I deserve what I g-got," tears begin to fall.

"Don't you ever say that again Esme. What those men did to you, you did not in any way deserve it," he says kneeling in front of me, trying to look into my eyes, which I close.
