Lilianna (NEW VERSION)

Chapter 26

"You know, before you make a call, you may want to pay attention to who's listening."

Darien spun around to see his father glaring at him, along with three other men. His heart started to hammer against his chest as he took a few steps back, fear paralyzed him, his min went blank as his father advanced towards him. Before he could snap out of his frozen state, his father grabbed him by the throat.

"You were always a mistake." his father snarled. "Part werewolf, part witch. Now, that's not something you come across every day."

Darien clawed at his father's hands, but it did nothing. "Pathetic." his father spat.

He slammed Darien onto the ground, causing him to hit his back on a rock. He grinned as his son let out a cry of pain, he looked around until he spotted the river that wasn't too far.

"Do you still have a fear of rivers, son?" his father sneered.

Darien's eyes widened as his face paled, "P-please, dad, do-

He whimpered as his father punched him, "Never call me dad again. It's such a shame, all those years as a child, you tried gaining my love and pride. Too bad I can't fucking stand you. You're nothing but a burden on everyone, even your mate. You know, I think she's due to go into heat soon and I do need a new mate." 

Darien's eyes flashed with rage, "Touch her and I'll-

"You'll what? How can you protect her when you have a bullet in your chest and you're drowning?" his father chuckled.

Darien struggled to break free, but his father quickly broke his leg. Darien screamed from the pain, but his father didn't stop there. He grabbed a gun and pointed it at his son, he smirked.

"Bye, Darien." he chuckled darkly.

Darien looked up right as his father fired the gun, his eyes widened as the bullet ripped through his chest. A stray tear rolled down Darien's cheek as he fell to the ground once more.

"Throw him in the river."

"Seth, come on, I want to go on a run." Lilianna pleaded.

He frowned, "But I want to sleep!"

"No. We're going on a run."

"Damn it, woman, let me sleep."

"Nope, you chose to spend most of the night annoying me, now it's my turn. Let's go." 

Seth sighed, "Fine."

When she grinned, he couldn't help but smile, he loved it when she was happy. Both of them quickly went through their normal morning routine of Seth being horny and Lilianna threatening to hang him by his dick. He pouted once more before throwing on some clothes and following her out of the room. They greeted a few pack members before racing out of the house and into the forest.

Lilianna hid behind a tree before undressing and shifting, she barked happily as she took off. Seth appeared beside her only a few seconds later, nipping at her shoulder. She nipped him on the ear, earning a playful growl. Both of them skidded to a halt when a gun shot echoed throughout the forest. 

Panic immediately bubbled in Lilianna's chest as she whimpered, Seth sniffed the air, but didn't smell any hunters. He became confused when he got a whiff of Darien's scent. 

"Hey, baby girl, there are no hunters here. Relax." he mind-linked her.

She glanced at him, looking for reassurance, he nodded before licking her on the cheek. She nuzzled her face against his and looked around. Both of them scanned the area around them, trying to figure out where the gun went off.
