Wolves

The Truth Hurts

Next Day*

As I walked downstairs, there was talking coming from the living room, so I decided to plop on the step and listen in. I'm so nosey.

"We need to keep the girls safe guys. I can't have the government looking for us again. What if they find her? Can you imagine what will happen if they got a hold of any one of them?" I heard my dad ask. I guess they thought we were still sleeping.

"They'll run tests. I've seen it happen. If it wasn't Danny, I'd be dead." Cloe announced. She was right.

A few years ago Cloe was held captive in an underground lab. They were testing all sorts: Vampires, hybrids, wolves, vampire bats; the lot. Danny saved her after she was seconds away from having a needle punctured into her skin. He saved her life that day. Ever since, they had dated. Bless 'em. I've always been jealous of them. They had an amazing relationship while I was alone, reading or writing. My dad didn't really trust boys to be around me. Neither did Liam. I guess they both dreaded the day that I find my mate. I daren't leave them, never. I have spent 16 years of my life with them and I wasn't planning on leaving anytime soon.

"We know Clo. It'll never happen again. Not to you, or to anyone else. We will put a stop to this. The government are only targeting the girls so we need to keep them safe. We are going to protect them with our lives." Dad mentioned.

They all agreed of course. Male wolves are always more protective over the female and child wolves. It annoyed me how they could be too over protective sometimes. It was actually quite annoying when it ever happened. Just like how I get annoyed when Liam gets protective over me in front of Harry. I mean, I can deal with him on my own. I don't need anyone to keep me safe from him.

"We'll move again tomorrow. Right to the middle of the forest. Then no one can see us and the children can play freely. I'll make sure that we all stay safe and that the children are in a safe environment. Harry, I want you to keep a watch on Ashley, she's the governments main target right now." Dad explained, clearly pissing Liam off.

"Dad I can wat-"

"No Liam. You need to watch over Dani and Lily. You can't worry about your sister all the time, lad"

"But dad she's my sis-"

"No buts Liam. Look after your family. Harry will look after your sister and he will keep her safe. If I need you to step it at any time then fine but not now Liam." He argued.

I sighed. It's not fair that we gave to keep moving. We had moved from my mother's house to the doctor's safe house and now here. Then tomorrow we'll move again. What is it the government have against us?

"How much did you hear Ashley?" Liam asked, snapping me out of my trance to look at him. A slight frown covered his face.

"I heard enough. I don't need anyone to look after me. I'm 16. I can look after my self." I stated sharply, turning on my heel and walking upstairs and into my room.

*Liam*

Well shit. Why does she need to be so stubborn all the time? I can't believe she's my sister..

"Well? What did she hear?" Dad asked. Everyone was looking at me. I could tell that most if them dreaded my answer.

"She heard it all." I replied, sitting on a chair and opening my laptop.

"What do you mean she heard it all?" He asked, sitting down opposite me. Harry laughed dryly.

"Well done mate. You fucking did it this time." He spat.

Fuck it.

"I'm only doing this to protect her from your and your little games. You can't love and we all know that. She doesn't need her heart breaking by you you little shit!" My throat burned at every word I had said. He always found a way to push my buttons.

"And there it is. If she was my mate then you can't keep me from her Payne. I will find a way to get to her, and when you find out it'll be too late because I'll have her wrapped around my little finger." He spat.

"Oh my god. You really are full of yourself ain't you Harry?" He froze, "I can't believe you just said that to him. I will never fall in love with you and you shall never have me wrapped around your finger. Now get out of my fucking house before I snap your neck." She shot. If looks could kill, he'd be dead...

"You have no idea what you're saying Ash. It will happen. On that day, expect an ' I told you so' from me." he snickered before walking out.

She burst into tears as Matthew wrapped his arms around her, hugging her as she soaked his shirt.

"I fucking hate him." She sobbed. I know for a fact hate turns into love.

Me and Dani looked at each other in alarm. Dad knew exactly what was wrong. Fuck my life.

After lunch it was pure hell for the girls as they all huddled in Ash's room, trying to calm her down and get some food in her. But she refused. That little shit bag has ruined my sister. My sweet happy innocent sister, ruined. She's still innocent and sweet but she's not happy. Her happiness comes before everything for me.

"Let me at him!" Matthew yelled from outside. Me, my dad and Max all ran out to see Matthew and Harry being held apart.

Harry had a scratch down his face while Matthew had a healing cut on his forehead.

I stepped in-between them.

"STOP!" I yelled. Both of their heads snapped to face me.

"You are acting like girls! Even they can more mature than you two! Matt, I know you're pissed at Harry but tearing his head off won't do any good. And Harry? Stay the fuck away from my sister. You broke her heart." I spat, dragging Matthew inside and letting him sit on the sofa. Cloe ran downstairs.

"What's wrong?" I panicked as she stood there, out of breath.

"She needs your shoulder Liam. We tried to talk to her, we've asked her questions, we tried to get her to eat... She needs you Liam, she needs her brother's shoulder to cry on.." She spoke softly.

I walked upstairs and into Ashley's room as everyone walked out and she lunged herself at me, bursting into tears and she curled up on my lap. I stroked her back softly while humming and eventually she fell asleep.

*Cloe*

We watched as she fell asleep and the scene in front of us proved my point, she just needed her brother to comfort her.

"Me, Dani and Yasmin walked downstairs.

"How is she? Is she talking? Eating?" Jake asked. We shook our heads.

"What happened then?" Peter asked. I smiled slightly.

"She's sleeping. She's finally sleeping. All she needed was Liam to comfort her, after all, that's what all sixteen year old girls need." I explained.

"I'm dreading when she turns seventeen then." Louis said. We laughed.

"Ain't we all?"

*Harry*

Why do I always fuck things up? Why me?

Fuck fuck fuck.

I don't belong here, all I do is break hearts...including Ashley's.

What am I doing with my life? I shouldn't be forcing her to find out, I should just let her find out for herself..yeah, that's what I'll do.

I wasn't sure if this chapter was showing so I rewrote it.

Sometime soon I might hold a contest for a new character perhaps. I dunno.
