Alpha's Perfect Breed

18 | A Voice |

Lukas stands unmoving next to his nephew, his eyes locked upon the black ones that stare forwards into space.

He doesn't move as he hears the door beside him opening, his eyes staying glued to the young alpha.

"He should still be asleep at the moment."

He hears Evie's voice as she enters the room, his heartbeat rises a little before returning to normal.

She stands in the doorway, several books in hand as she attempts to move into the room. Her back turns rigid when she sees Caleb's eyes.

"Evie, what's wrong?"

She stands there frozen as she attempts to wrap her head around what is happening.

The echo of books falling upon the floor fills the small room. Lukas' eyes snap away from Caleb to Genevieve as his brother pushes past her.

He stares forward, he feels the pain seeping through his bones. His heart thumps hard against his chest, his breathing stays constant but he can feel it constricting with every breath in.

"She's gone."

"We don't know for sure."

"Get it through your skull. We felt her struggling, you heard her yourself."

His whole form becoming numb as he stares at the ceiling, his heart twists within his chest.

"Cay, please."

A tremor runs through his spine as he feels the pain creeping through his bones. A whimper slips from his lips as the sound of her voice fills his ears.

His voice catching in his throat as he feels the helplessness stabbing at his heart. His eyes filling with tears as he thinks about it more.

His eyes darken completely black as the sound only he seems to hear reaches his ears.

"Let go."

His whole form snaps up to a sitting position, his eyes cast across the room at the wall.

His heartbeat thumps against his chest as his wolf stands at the front of his mind. He feels the dread from her voice, his mind reels with just the insinuation coming from her lips.

Eric's eyes widen as he catches a glimpse of Caleb, his heartbeat jumping in his chest. He sees the glazed over look that means he isn't fully there.

His eyes shift towards Lukas as he moves towards Caleb, his spine straightens. He sees the intent in his eyes as his movement quickens.

"DON'T!!"

The sound of Evie's voice makes Lukas freeze as he turns to face them.

"Issac, he's awake."

His eyes refocus on her as she moves towards the bed, a book in her hand.

Genevieve stares at Caleb, she feels the power of his wolf. Her hand shakes slightly as she tries to keep her grip upon the book in her hand.

"Alpha?"

Xander watches the pair, his heartbeat rising in his chest as he hears his father's voice.

"XANDER!!"

His eyes close for a second before snapping open, his heart thumping in his chest as he answers his father.

The sound of a whimper slipping from his father's lips as he begins again.

"They have Elias."
