Bethany: His Little Wolf Chapter 132

Gamma Ashley

Cal steps into the corridor and slowly heads back out the way we came but the closer we get to the exit the louder the noises become. Kelly's hold on me tightens and I know she is scared and that alone is enough to have me instantly angry once again.

Fuck these assholes need to pay for what they have done to my sister and the other children that they have clearly kept in here. What the fuck are they thinking? Hell, they can't be thinking because there are no reasons or explanations in the world that would make this ok.

"We're almost there baby girl," I whisper in her ear but it doesn't do a dam thing to calm her down and I can't blame her, I don't know what hell she has been through while she has been here but I do know that she hasn't been having a tea party or playing princesses.

By some miracle, we make it back to the room without any problems and quickly head for the window that we originally come through. We could get out of here a different way but we're not sure where the other exits are and searching for them just puts us at a higher risk of running into the enemy meaning Kelly will have to face the ones that held her here, to begin with, and that's not happening!

"Jack and I will get out first and make sure it's clear then Ashley you can pass Kelly out to us while your dad is covering your back then the both of you can follow ok?"

"Sounds good Alpha." Everyone nods agreeing then Cal reaches the window and jumps out not wasting any more time. Jack follows right behind him but holds himself balanced in the window frame as he holds out an arm for Kelly.

I go to push her off me and into his arm when she suddenly lets out an ear-piercing scream making my blood run cold. Her grip on me tightens more and her legs squeeze the life out of my waist. "Hey baby it's ok, it's ok!" She stops screaming as quickly as she started but continues to keep herself plastered to me like I'm her source of air.

Jack jumps back inside the room and carefully comes to me resting his hand on Kelly's back. "Kelly it's only me princess, I'm just going to take you from Ash so he can climb out the window ok?"

She slowly looks up and thankfully gives a little nod. "We need to get a move on guys..." Cal looks directly at me while he speaks but stops himself from finishing, not that it makes any difference we all know what he wanted to say.

While Kelly freaking out wasn't her fault after what she's been through, it was still crazy loud which means there's a very good chance that it reached the ears of some unwanted wolves and they could already be on their way here.

"Ok princess, Jack's going to get back on the window frame and I'm going to pass you to him ok? You know your safe with Jack right?" She nods causing Jack to briefly smile as he jumps back on the wooden window frame and gets his balance once more.

Sounds of growling and snarling start to get louder, my dad runs to the bedroom door before looking back at me with a grave look. Shit, they're coming. I quickly reach Jack and thankfully this time Kelly happily climbs into his arm and curls herself around his body.

The snarls and growls are getting louder but I try not to think about that until both Jack and Kelly are clear of the window and away from this room.

"Get her away from here Jack!"

"I'm not leaving you!"

"You need to get Kelly away from here, we're right behind you!" He shakes his head but then looks down at Kelly whos wrapped up in his arms.

"I'll get her to safety and I'll be back for you." His no-nonsense tone makes me smile.

"We're right behind you darling!" I give him a reassuring nod and watch as he fights with himself but finally turns away from me and runs for the forest with Cal on his tail.

I turn back around so that I'm facing my dad and swallow down the pile that's stuck in my throat. I know Jack was confused. I know that he was wondering why we just didn't jump out of the window there and then. I know he was wondering why I told him to go without me.

I know that he was confused but I also know that he knew that something wasn't right. He knew there was a reason why I made him get Kelly away from here and that's why he said he will be back and I know he'll stick to his word.

I hated sending them both away when all I wanted to do was to jump out of the window with my dad and leave this place behind but I couldn't but I could get my mate, Cal, and Kelly away from here so that's what I did. There was no way that Kelly was seeing this, no way!

"Good job son, you have done the right thing." I turn to look at my dad, he looks a little pale as he struggles to keep himself up straight. The silver from the blade somehow shines so brightly in the room taunting me, laughing at me and there's not a dam thing I can do about it.

While I was getting Jack to leave with Kelly and Cal my dad was fighting two wolves that had arrived just after Jack had jumped down from the window.

"Don't let them see." Are the words that he whispered to me low enough so that they wouldn't hear so that's exactly what I did. I made sure they didn't see and I made sure they left. I made sure that Kelly didn't see our dad fighting and I made sure that she didn't see the moment that he tore the heart out of one of them with one hand while he held the other one back with his free hand.

I made sure that she didn't see the moment that he stuck his knife into the other wolf's neck nor did I let her see the moment that he came to stand close to me bracing his hands on the wall to support himself while he fought to stay alive.

At first, I didn't know why he wanted me to get them gone, I couldn't understand it but the tone of his voice was enough for me to trust his judgment and do as he said and now that I know why he said it, well I get it, I understand it and I would have done the same thing myself.

As I watch my dad pant trying to catch his breath and growl out in pain my heart slowly breaks to a thousand pieces. My dad looks straight at me and even with all the pain, he must be in right now all I see in his eyes is love and it's killing me. It's killing me that I can't do a dam thing to stop this from happening.

He moves his body so that he faces me and a sob leaves my mouth without my permission while Alfie howls out in my head. I want to be strong right now but I'm failing. My dad looks and acts calm but me, well I'm anything but.

How can I be calm when my dad, my beautiful strong caring kind dad is standing in front of me with a silver blade stuck inside his chest, barely inches from his heart? How can I be calm when I know that there's no way out of this? My dads going to die and the worst part is I'm going to have to help him.

The blade won't kill him yet instead it will kill him slowly and painfully, which could take days. That is unless I help him but me helping him means I will have to kill him, It's the only way to speed it up for him, the only way to stop him from suffering.

He's too far gone for any help and that's even if I could get help right now with everything going on, he knows it and so do I. "It's ok, Ash," His words slice through me as my vision becomes blurry with the tears that are burning my eyes, inside I'm already breaking but I'm trying to hold together.

He walks up close to me and rests his hands on my shoulders, I feel some of his weight on me but even now hes still pretty much holding himself up. "It's ok, son. I was never supposed to be here now but the moon goddess blessed me with extra time and because of that extra time, I got to see you and Kelly again. I got to make sure that she was safe and I got to meet Jack and see you together, to see that you are safe and that means the world to me."

"Fuck dad this isn't fair, not again!" Tears are running down my face like a waterful but I don't care.

"If me dying means that you and Kelly are safe then I'm ok with it. Can I ask a favor of you son?"

"Of course dad, anything!" He leans against the wall and slowly slides himself down the wall until hes sat on his ass and breathing more harshly.

"Can you please look after Kelly for me and never forget how much I love you both? Thank you, Ash, thank you for making sure that she didn't see this, I'm just sorry that you have to."

"I will look after her dad and I wouldn't be anywhere else right now." I did what he wanted and I've made sure that'll Kelly doesn't see the sight that's in front of me now, the sight of my dad's final moments but this sight right now and the actions that I will need to take in the next few moments will haunt me for the rest of my life.

I've lived through this once, seeing my dad's final moments. I've lived through the heartache of saying goodbye to him and then the complete and utter joy of his coming back to me but as I stand here now I know that there is no way back from this.
