The Lost Wolf: Denying Fate #3

Chapter 7

This chapter is dedicated to bejeweledcat because if it wasn't for her this chapter probably wouldn't have been written. (Same with the ending of The Lost Wolf: The Missing Piece) You see when people comment on my work it makes me realize there are people who are really reading my work. Writers need motivation, and I need a lot of it with all the stories I'm working on.  So thank you! :)

When I wake up Liam is sitting at the desk watching me. I sit up and he stiffens his posture.

"Is it that bad?" I ask.

He nods, "Yes. I'm sorry Sky."

I press my lips together, "It's not your fault. It's my own fault."

He frowns, "Sky it isn't your fault, it's MIcahs."

I narrow my eyes, "It isn't his fault. He was trying to do the right thing. He was protecting his Alpha, he might have done the wrong thing by Marking me unwillingly but he did it for you. He might have saved your ass Liam."

He gulps and looks away from me, "I'm going to go for a run. I'll be back in a half hour. Breeanna is coming by. She wants to talk to you."

I nod and watch as he stands up, I realize his hands are shaking, he really wasn't handling this well, "Liam?"

He turns and looks at me, "What Sky?"

I bite my lip, "Just run for as long as you need to okay? It doesn't hurt now, but in a day or two it will, that's when I'll need someone next to me the most."

He sighs and leans over, kissing the top of my head, "I'll be back Sky. I promise."

I'm picking at my shredded wheat when Breeanna comes skipping in, she skids to a hault, "Oh wow you're strong."

I narrow my eyes, "Shut up okay? I know that it's bad. Liam already had to go for a run and it's been one night."

Her eyes widen, "Seriously?"

"Yep."

She sighs and sits down across from me, "You know he cares about you, it's obvious."

I shrug, "It doesn't matter. We're just friends. Plus he has a Mate out there."

She shakes her head, "His Mate is Mated. I think we both know that."

I pause and look up at her, "How...?"

She shrugs, "It's Bethany isn't it?"

I nod slowly, "How did you figure it out?"

She sighs, "Well it wasn't that hard. I mean if someone wanted you to Mate with Liam and someone made Toby Mate with Bethany. I mean you said so yourself that Toby is your Mate, so it makes sense that someone would switch the two."

I nod and bite my lip, "You can't tell him Bree, he's suppose to figure it out on his own."

She nods in agreement, "I won't tell. I promise."

I sigh and say, "I just want this whole ordeal to be over with."

She gives me a small smile, "I know. Hey how about we rent some movies on Red Box and we can get Carmen, Veronica, and even Jemma over here?"

I nod, "That sounds good."

An hour later we're all siting on the couch in the living room watching the newest Ice Age. I had my head on Bree's lap and she was braiding my hair when I heard the sliding door shut.

Liam walks in and leans against the door frame, "You doing okay?"

I eye him, "I've been better."
