The Faith And The Omega

Chapter 48 - Innocence can kill

Evan POV

I barged in seeing Brock and Craig with Ryan mother who was dealing with a very upset Arabella. "Oh my god! Annetta!" Ryan mum gasped. "Evan, Arabella won't stop crying she's just started screaming and we've tried everything. Changing, feeding, burping, even tried playing with her.  Nothing!"

"I'll deal with her in a bit, I need help with Annetta." "I'll do it, being a female it's easier and more comfortable for Ryan when he comes back" "Alright... get the bath ready. I'll lay her here for now"

Jonathan POV

I was halfway home when a serge of pain struck through my mark down to my heart as I dropped to my knees screaming. My wolf was crying in my head chanting something. 'MATE! MATE HURT!'

Luke... I wasted no time picking up his scent as adrenaline burst through me.

Ryan POV

"With pleasure" Lee growled just as he was about to pull the trigger he was tackled down by Tyler. The rest of my men had arrived as relief flood through me until I realised Luke and Bryce...

'I have Annetta, she's back home with me. Did something happen to Bryce?'

It was Evan.

'Yeah... how'd you know?'

'Arabella'

Was only his response to realise what he meant by that.

"R-Ryan.." I heard Bryce suddenly groan. "You're alive? Shit that was rude" "Thanks..." I helped him sit up to see that the bullet was only to his shoulder. That's fine. We can get him treated. "That motherfucker" Luke half growled half groaned out in pain against the floor. He's alive too? Damn I am being so damn rude.

A sudden growl echoed the cave, it was Jon as he looked straight to Lee. I ain't stopping him. "Oh c'mon Beta we were having fun" he joked but Jon wasn't in his jokey clown self mood. He charged pass the war going straight towards him. "I guess not" Lee stood there like he was gonna take it.

Something was off... he wouldn't just. I saw the knife. "No! Jon!" I tackled Jon mid air as we both rolled over away from him.

"You were lucky... but I'm gonna kill you-" someone from behind suddenly just snapped his neck as he collapsed to the ground. "Shut your stupid mouth!" It was Bryce who did it as he rolled his eyes in annoyance.

My eyes widen as Jon titled his head to the side with one ear down, his wolf face looking dumbfounded. "Can we go home now my shoulder hurting?" "Uh..."

Luke burst out laughing yet instantly regret it as he layed back down groaning in pain.

"LUKEY!" Jon was back into his human form as he rushed over to his mate. "Jon" he sighed in relief as they both pulled each other into a long meaningful hug. Bryce walked over holding his injure shoulder. "You need to be careful Bryce?" He frowned at my concern. "I-" "I'm proud of you but... my little girl crying at home. She felt your pain" I could see it in his baby blue orbs that guilt washed through him. "At least you can" I also added with a shrug.

"And you will too..." when I saw the state Jon in I just know that Annetta gonna be the same. Let's just hope she hasn't lost trust in me.
