Chapter 48

Stay

Lizzie POV

My heart is breaking.

That's all I can feel right now; this strong pull as we head to Dean's car with the last of our stuff.

The boys are asleep in their car seats; all ready and waiting for us.

Where Holden might be, I have no idea.

"Is there anything else left to do?" Dean asks me softly, wiping a stray tear from beneath my eye lashes.

I swallow and with regret, shake my head, "let's go."

Dean nods and we climbs into the car.

I don't want to go.

I feel like I'm betraying the pack by walking out..

Not only am I leaving Holden, my mate and Alpha, but I'm abandoning the entire pack.

I'm a sorry excuse for a mate.

I stare at the brick house as Dean starts the engine up.

A flurry of tears stream down my face, as I watch the house disappear from view.

All I wanted was for Holden to fight for me.

I didn't get that.

I didn't even get a goodbye.

He obviously made his choice already.

My heart falls into a deep dark place, pulling more tears over my cheeks.

"It'll all be ok Lizz. Don't worry." Dean comforts, taking my hand in his free one, "just you wait and see."

I nod, refusing to make eye contact for fear of what I might do.

The buzz of greenery flickers across my vision as we leave the drive way, out onto the main road, leading away from my home..

Away from what I know, and off to my rightful pack.

The pack I fought for, but couldn't find it in myself to really care about.

It was as though I didn't belong there.

Ten minutes later, we are slowly coming to the border of the pack land, out onto civilian territory.. Away from where my heart is still sat, waiting, aching for Holden.

Sat in the plush, expensive car at the traffic lights, a slight movement in the corner of my eye has me darting around to look into the woodland..

A big, dark brown wolf, a familiar wolf.

Without thinking, I ignore Dean's calls of concern and climb out of the car, moving straight towards the wolf.

"Why are you here?" I ask.

With a crack and a loud pop, what was once a wolf, now my husband is standing before me gloriously naked.

"Stay." He falls onto his knees and begs, "stay Lizzie."

Tears are brimming at his eyes, and his face looks completely broken.

"Stay."
