The Beta Killer Chapter 55
Alissa rubbed sleep from her eyes as she watched the moon from her window, the soft glow basking her room in light and shadow, she had managed two hours of sleep. She sighed, resigning herself to the fact she wouldn't get any more. Alissa pulled her soft curls into a ponytail, before pulling a small multicoloured rucksack from her closet. She dug through the shoes when her hands rested on a pair of black walking boots. She dressed and pulled the boots on over her jeans, tugging at the red laces to tighten them around her feet. Her feet were silent over the soft green grass before she entered the trees, starting on a small trail that had been worn through centuries of feet walking through the trees. She followed the path for an hour before veering into the weeds and trees. The sun had just began to rise which she was thankful for. Alissa knew she would never find her destination while it was still dark. She took a sip of water as she leant against the trunk of a tree to allow the sun

Grass flew between them in a flurry as they called childish insults, laughter and squeals of delight echoing through the clearing. Alissa landed a clump of grass square in his face, she threw her arms in the air, “Goal!” she squealed laughing as he shook his head. Grass fell from his face and hair, he looked up at her. A mean grimace crossing his lips. “Uh oh.” She tried to get up still laughing but he grabbed her leg hanging on as she shook it trying to shake his grasp, both laughing. Alissa fell back onto the moss, Luca scrambled to pin her down. “Got you!” He flopped on top of her taking the breath from her lungs. “Can't. Your. Crushing.” He laughed as Alissa managed to push him off rolling onto his back.They both laid there breathless, laughter escaping every few breaths. “Luca,” Alissa panted, “You didn't do anything wrong yesterday. I had a lot on my mind.” She turned her head to look at him. His features brightened “I really enjoyed yesterday, it was really sweet of you to or

Alissa started running towards the house, concern and panic made her run faster. She reached Michael's room turning the brass doorknob. Entering, she found his bed lay unmade under the window. Oak shelves lay empty on the walls. She checked his closet and Jack was right, only a few items of clothing remained. Hangers lay empty, some had fallen to the floor. His draws lay open and empty. Alissa picked up a T-shirt from his clothes hamper, she gave it a quick whiff, her nose crinkling; it was filthy. Alissa left his room, t-shirt in hand. Jack and Luca had just climbed the stairs. “He's gone, we need to track him.” She looked to Luca, hoping he would make the order. What she wanted didn’t mean it would… “Please.” She handed Luca the t-shirt.“Blake and Henry, they're our best trackers,” Luca announced. “I’ll get them,” Jack said before running back down the stairs, his voice calling Blake's name becoming fainter as he made his way through the house. Blake's bedroom door opened “Some

She glared at Luca, how could he be so reckless? Luca pulled a bundle of leather straps from the side of the boot. He showed them to Alissa, “This is a lead and collar, humans use them for their dogs. You are going to be 'walking your dog'.” He handed them over before laying the back seats down in the car and jumping into the boot. Alissa looked at the two straps of leather, one the shorter of the two, had a buckle to attach it to itself. The longer strap had a hook. Luca shut the boot of the car behind him before he stripped off his clothes. Alissa peered in just as he finished his transformation. She opened the boot for him, “I don't like this,” she said as he jumped down. “Tough,” his voice came through to her head “Put the collar and the lead on me, then we can get going,” he said peering his amber eyes up to her. She complied and held the other end of the lead. “Have you got his scent?” Alissa mumbled. “Oh! In the car, there's another t-shirt.” Alissa reached in and put the c

Alissa tried to think of questions or anything to say that wouldn't raise suspicion. “Does she know?” Kimberly turned to Michael, he nodded. “Oh good, least he told you we are expecting.” She smiled and rubbed her belly. “Yes, a congratulations to you. I was surprised when he told me.” Alissa gave a false smile, giving a subtle glare to her brother. Kimberly laughed, “Yeah was a surprise for us too, but we're happy aren't we, honey?” she said. Michael started, “Oh, yeah, yeah really happy.” Alissa detected the falseness in his voice. But Kimberly didn't, she beamed at him. They finished their tea as a knock sounded on the door. “That'll be Luca!” Alissa jumped up. “Do you mind?” Kimberly shook her head so Alissa went to the door and led Luca into the sitting room. “Hello, Kimberly is it?” Luca held out his hand for her, she shook it. A flush creeping over her neck. “Oh, lovely to meet you,” her voice was higher than normal, Alissa suspected that she found him attractive. Michae

Alissa picked up her jeans from the floor. She heard a crinkle of paper so fished in the pocket and pulled out the folded paper that had made the noise. “What's that?” Luca's voice came from her bed. “Not sure,” she responded as she crawled back into bed. She unfolded the paper; The pack is in danger, these packs are safe McBaynFarkasa VilkamanStay safe, Alissa.Alissa looked at the paper a few times, Luca had closed his eyes, “What's it say?” he mumbled as Alissa rested her head on his chest. “Oh, nothing, was just a note from Malachi, he thinks the Wuffaman pack is too high and mighty. Said I should go see other packs.” Alissa threw the note from her, watching it float down to the ground next to the bed. Luca let out a little laugh, “They know nothing of this pack.” He pulled Alissa closer to him and Alissa could help a sigh of contentment, he was warm… safe. “I don't think I can keep this a secret for much longer,” Luca muttered into Alissa's hair. He tightened his arms ar

They turned off a country road onto a much narrower road that continuously twisted and turned. They passed one house that looked similar to Alissa's parents house. They turned off the narrow road onto a single track gravel road, it was barely wide enough for their 4X4. They went through a line of bushes then over a wooden bridge. In front of the car was indeed, a castle. Turrets with pointed roofs caused Alissa to crane her neck, hundreds of narrow arched windows dotted the brickwork. Alissa let out a gasp, “It's beautiful!” she muttered. A warm, relaxed smile appeared on his face. “It is a rather impressive home.” A woman was standing looking over a wrought iron balcony, she appeared to watch the car pull up and park next to their cars. Malachi crunched along the gravel to meet Alissa and Luca. The men clasped hands, “I'm so sorry, how's he doing?”“Too early to tell, he's struggling to heal. His wounds are as bad as yesterday.” Malachi’s eyes were ringed, his hair and beard looki
The Beta Killer Chapter 62
The trio walked around the castle, the sprawling, slightly overgrown grass reaching out to bushes that surrounded the land. She was about to settle down on the grass to watch the two fight but Luca lead her further until there was a bench. As soon as she was sat, he gave her a peck on the lips, moving off to a safe distance away. She crossed her legs. Getting comfy while Luca bounced on the balls of his feet, swinging his arms and throwing a few air punches. Malachi had tied his hair back into a low ponytail and stood, an amused grin on his face as he shook his arms. Neither of them put their arms up in guard. “You're going down, Wuffaman,” Malachi laughed as they both began bouncing from foot to foot. “Pfft, in your dreams, McBayn.” Luca jabbed with his left making Malachi dodge and smack his hand away easily. Malachi used the momentum from his block to swing his right leg round to strike with the top of his foot. Luca ducked effortlessly and used his different level to sweep Malac
